"Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in ... Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts — and the person had the correct username and password"

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

The point isn't whether Signal is "secure enough" or not. These folks KNEW not to be on it, & did it anyway to avoid the Presidential Records Act & FOIA. How is Scott Jennings supposed to defend using personal, unsecured phones? 🤣 Any GOP defense is ludicrous, esp given "But her emails" fiasco.

Yes. How?

If you haven't been calling, start.

Gabe and Mjolnir need a new home, can you help? Rowan, their human who has sadly passed, wished for them to remain together. Will help get them relocated to anywhere within the United States; please read on for more details! 🧵 Signal boosts & sharing are appreciated 💙

A special person, full of directness and truth. I hear his words and feel them all.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Come on America, when is enough enough? Make some noise.
