> Even if help is on the way, it may not come quickly. That has prompted people to step in, an informal response that has grown more organized with each crisis. “We all need to be our own first responders because these things are happening really, really fast,” Zegre said.

When the exec branch says to the judicial branch, 'Too bad, I don't have to listen to you.' That's a #ConstitutionalCrisis -serious threat to our democracy.

Trump, Musk, Bannon... are accusing Boasberg & other fed judges of failing to respect Trump's exec powers -critics are countering that the fed judges have every right to block EOs they consider unconstitutional. Trump/allies are🚨threatening Judge Boasberg/family.

🚨Trump defies the court order, >3 hours late.

Nazi JD Vance said he doesn't care about the courts because the courts don't have an Army. This is what Mitch McConnell. Justice Roberts, the FBI and Merrick Garland have wrought. Along with cowardice to lock Trump's up when he was a private citizen instead of differing to him as "President" when he wasn't #FuckTrumpNaziParty

"Everyone agrees on one thing: On the night of Aug. 18, 2006, Dwayne Buckle catcalled Patreese Johnson.

Johnson and six of her friends, all young [Black lesbians], were walking down Sixth Avenue in New York City's West Village to hang out at the clubs in one of the gayest neighborhoods in America. That's when Buckle, a then-28-year-old black filmmaker, called out to Johnson, who was 19 at the time, with an obscene comment.

"Mister, I'm gay," Johnson says she told Buckle, trying to wave him off.

That's when Buckle allegedly got furious, threatened to rape the young women "straight," and threw a punch, according to Johnson and the women with her that night.

Buckle told The New York Times he was "the victim of a hate crime against a straight man." All seven women were charged with felonies, ranging from gang assault to attempted murder. Local and national media seized on the story and cast the women as a "wolf pack" of "killer lesbians."

Three pleaded guilty, and the other four went to trial, where they lost their cases and were sentenced to between 3 1/

"Interviewer: Do either of you think that the media would cover this case differently today? It's six years later, gay marriage is legal in much of the US, Caitlyn Jenner was on the cover of Vanity Fair, and there are a number of prominent LGBT people of color in media and TV. Have things changed?

Blair: I don't think it would be different today. When we look at everything happening in the news with police brutality, in terms of race, we're still in a really, really terrible spot. I think the combination of their sexuality, gender presentation, race, and class led to the media's response. The media helps create a more dangerous environment when they write like this. It affects people's lives.

Renata: When Trayvon Martin died the media didn't focus on the fact that this was an innocent young boy going to the store to get iced tea and Skittles, they focused on the fact that he had marijuana in his system. With Eric Garner, it was that he sells cigarettes. They pointed out that Freddie Gray was running from child support. They paint a picture so when you're reading it, yo

There's add on 'endpoint protection' systems that can notice log activity and react automatically, but that's an after the fact reaction by an outside program, not something built in to the kernel as an inescapable trap ready to spring shut the moment it's needed.

(Some of them are open source. The others are expensive enterpriseware. Quality ... varies.)

@cks That's my experience as well, that bolted-on endpoint-IDS is usually more vulnerable than a well-configured-but-stock OS and more trouble than it's worth.
