One thing is to mess up your opsec the other thing is to fuck up your actual operation. It doesn’t matter if you do it with a knife or with an airstrike. Murder is murder. It’s time to start thinking of people as humans again instead of acronyms and statistics.

NBC News: The Espionage Act contains a provision making it crime to disclose national defense secrets "through gross negligence." The law does not require info be classified, because it was written before the classification system existed. The law refers simply to "national defense information."

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

And so it begins. Our military may have the most powerful weapons on earth, but they have NO shield against betrayal from their own government. The gross negligence of our own Vice President Vance, Hegseth, Gabbard, Waltz, et al, have put targets on all military personal in the field.

Trump's goal for ICE is genocide, they are pushing to normalize, in continuum it'll push out career agents that aren't as malevolent and keep the extremists willing to torture, rape, and kill with impunity. This isn't new, the current objective is to develop a loyal force willing to do anything. #3E

Social Security is a promise from the United States of America: after you pay into the system in your working years, you can retire with dignity. With backdoor cuts, Trump and Musk would break that vow and deny people the benefits they earned.

The only thing standing between Donald Trump and his authoritarian dream is the courts. But to defeat him, we need lawyers willing to litigate against him. Trump is trying to intimidate lawyers and law firms to stop fighting. At least for me, it won't work. I wear his scorn like a badge of honor.
