I just exclaimed "holy _hit" as I opened this House of Commons e-petition which I signed this afternoon. It had 38,000 signatures then which was insane. It has 65,000+ signatures now. 😱 all In only 2 days. IT IS TO REVOKE ELON MUSK'S CANADIAN […] [Original post on mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

Before the election we showed videos of Trump and Vance endorsing Project 2025 and after the election Bannon bragged about Project 2025 being the platform. The regretful farmer says, “They said Project 2025 wasn’t his platform.” Who is this “THEY”? And will he stop looking to THEM for his data?

Fact Check: No the AfD didn't win in fictional German youth elections. Elon Musk has retweeted a post saying AfD won a landslide majority in the German youth elections. Firstly, this is a mock poll run in German schools to teach students about politics. Secondly, the results are never […]

There appears to be a targeted phishing campaign going around that claims to be from the official liquidators of the now-defunct cryptocurrency platform FTX. The messages address recipients by their full legal name, and claim there is a 24-hour window in […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Of course, never do this. Explicitly avoid doing this, using this very diagram.

Firing America’s senior military leadership overnight and replacing them with party loyalists is definitely dictatorship stuff, if anyone is under a rock right now.

1. Yesterday, Maine Governor Janet Mills confronted Trump to his own face at a Governor's Dinner over his anti-trans EO. When he threatened her for allowing trans people in sports, she responded: "See you in court." The latest from Mira Lazine. Subscribe to support our journalism.

When scientists are threatened with being fired over saying the wrong words, it's up to the rest of us to say the words they're not allowed to say: The high temperatures last month bears the fingerprints of #ClimateChange caused by the burning of #FossilFuels, which needs to stop […]

DOES THE MEGAMAP FOLD? One of the panels rotated on me in this glue-up and it annoyed me enough that I decided to use it to find out. YES! And better than I expected but it's still kinda sloppy I think. And it's a lot bigger a fold. That said […] [Original post on mastodon.murkworks.net]

PORTLAND: Tesla will be exhibiting vehicles at the Oregon International Auto Show, starting today and running through the end of the weekend. People use this event to survey the market for new vehicles ahead of purchasing, so it's an ideal place to interrupt potential new Tesla sales. #TeslaTakedown

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

I’m sure this is nothing to be concerned about, right? https://cyberintel.substack.com/p/doge-exposes-once-secret-government

Rachel #Maddow says the outcry is making a difference, I imagine the GOP politicians get calls from the rich who say "WTF? Stop this!" Esp when it's hurting them. Regular people call them too, but I bet the rich don't buy the BS fed to voters at Town Halls. The rich are told, "I can't say […]

AP could have been cowardly and rolled over for Trump. “We had to comply or we’d lose [funding/access/privileges]” like so many orgs are doing. It would have been easy for them to say “gulf of America” But it never stops there. They got the memo. Good job AP.

I’m waiting for the first performative defamation lawsuit by some Trumpist asshole who gave a Nazi salute, filed against someone who called it a Nazi salute. It will mirror the bullshit suits filed by the assholes who did the white power sign who whined that they had been defamed by naming it.
