Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

Opinie: Europa moet de vrije media overnemen die Trump nu roekeloos ontmantelt

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll talk about the takeover of social media by illiberal, populist influencers. For the last ten years, social media has been dominated by these voices and it is one of the main reasons for the political rise of people like Trump and Orban. 1/25

This is inaccurate. There is no known vulnerability with Signal's core tech. The memo was discussing phishing attempts, which Signal has worked to mitigate. And it was hastily reported. It's important not to spread misinfo that can confuse people into moving away from meaningfully private comms.

In tegenstelling tot #Signal, kan #WhatsApp 🤥 alles van je zien: je profielfoto, info over jezelf, groepsnamen, en omschrijvingen van community’s en groepen (zie privacybeleid WhatsApp: www.whatsapp.com/legal/privac...) Meer over WhatsApp's mislukte charmeoffensief 👉 signalapp.nl/signal-app-n...

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will stop paywalling articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Everyone should watch this video by @wired.com and @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social . It clearly explains fascism and dictatorship through key questions, showing how these systems work, their warning signs, and how to avoid their traps. Really well done. youtu.be/vK6fALsenmw

Musk added another $2 million—he's now up to $10.2 million in spending to put his bought-and-paid-for MAGA candidate, Brad Schimel, into the decisive seat on Wisconsin's Supreme Court. There's a reason his names aren't on the ads. Voters loathe Musk. Help us get the word out: peoplevmusk.org

Doesn’t take a detective to uncover that Republicans are enacting Project 2025 – just last night they began dismantling the Dept. of Education. Everything points to them misusing the Comstock Act to ban abortion even in states where it’s legal. Today, I’m re-introducing a bill to stop them.

The longstanding animus between Steve Bannon and Elon Musk encapsulates a key tension at the heart of the MAGA movement. It pits those like Bannon, who want Trump to carry out a more fully populist agenda, against ultrawealthy interests, epitomized by Musk, who occupy key positions in Trump’s orbit.

Greetings from SXSW. Just saw Meredith Whittaker (Signal CEO) gave a great talk on why everyone needs privacy even if you don’t think you do. And how being a nonprofit removes the temptation to “further monetize” information you have on your users

Een tweedehands Tesla is inmiddels redelijk betaalbaar. Toch heb ik daar niet naar gekeken qua nieuwe auto. Ik weet gewoon niet of Musk ze op afstand uit kan zetten en als dat kan, dan zal hij dat overwegen als Von der Leyen niet luistert. Geen zin om me daar druk over te maken.
