The utter insanity of complaining posts on Brian Krebs' blog or Hacker News are too political while there are 100% political and massive cuts to cybersecurity programs, staffing, and budgets, complete reorganization and political destruction of threat intel sharing programs, and ongoing major exposures of confidential information and systems is beyond the pale. Absolute heads in the sand.

"Much of what the Trump administration has done during the lawless rampage that has been its first two months has felt haphazard, reckless, at times almost random in nature — all of which, of course, is by design. It’s become well understood in the years since the MAGA movement’s takeover of the Republican Party that the cruelty — and, often, the accompanying chaos — is the point."

In the countryside, there are rituals that have endured for hundreds of years, unchanged.
This elderly woman, her body bent by time and hard work, walks each day to meet her chickens - who roam freely across a vast open space.
She gathers a few branches and leaves, then returns to fetch the food she’ll give them, to complement what they’ve already foraged in nature.
The chickens, friendly and orderly, follow her all the while.
And watching them, I’m reminded of people who are no longer here - people who were part of my life for a long time, who lived those same rituals, even if hundreds of kilometers away.
Even as everything around us changes, there are places that never do.

This article is interesting for many reasons. One of them is that high-level #Trump officials are using #Signal for govt business.
axios.com/2025/03/24/atlantic-…
Many questions:
* Are they doing this because it's more convenient than comparable govt tools? (Like Hillary's email server.) Or more secure? Both?
* Are there rules against this? (Like Hillary's email server.) Are these officials breaking the law?
* Does this mean Signal is safe from govt attempts to force open a backdoor?
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans

But her emails!
The editor in chief of the Atlantic got invited to a Signal text chain with a bunch of the incompetent cabinet members and got to learn all about the planning for the recent strike against Yemen. This is one of the craziest things I've ever read related to a government. What hashtag do you even use for this level of illegal incompetence? Gift article.

230 Protects Users, Not Big Tech
Once again, several Senators appear poised to gut one of the most important laws protecting internet users - Section 230 (47 U.S.C. § 230). Don’t be fooled - many of Section 230’s detractors claim that this critical law only protects big tech.Electronic Frontier Foundation

There are two headlines in this story:
- United Airlines employs at least one violent, unstable, and rabidly antisemitic pilot.
- US Homeland Security was more than delighted to detain and harass an Orthodox Jew at the request of said pilot, telling him “You have no rights here.”
…just in case you’re wondering how the fight against antisemitism is going in Trump’s America.

In an ordinary world, this kind of screw-up would result in:
1) Resignation of the official involved
2) Congressional hearings
3) New communications rules
I suspect this will result in lots of name-calling aimed at The Atlantic generally and Jeffrey Goldberg specifically.

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"That’s the point, really. The standardization of chaos. The steady insistence that no matter how outlandish, how dangerous, this tilt away from democracy gets, it’s actually nothing to get upset about. Attempt to remake the US government as quickly and radically as possible, because otherwise how will you know how far you can push it?"
