My long look begins in #Texas, where I'm living with my wife.

I'm a little #old #blind #transgender man who does not want to sanction #violence in #writing because my #government, both #state and #federal, already consider me unfit for purpose and surplus to need.

My degree isn't in #mathematics, but I understand percentages.

My degree isn't in #history, but I understand how a #revolution might start.

My degree isn't in #economics or #medicine but I understand that the only thing that grows forever is #cancer.

🇫🇷 We tracked a data breach claim by SUB-ZER0 listing the Caisse Nationale d'Assurance Vieillesse (CNAV), France's national retirement insurance authority. The actor distributed an alleged database of approximately 375,760 records from lassuranceretraite.fr. We've logged 17 SUB-ZER0 listings in the past 30 days. #DataBreach #Government #ThreatIntel

Of course, the host country of the #WorldCup must commit to #FIFA that it will allow fans to enter the country and will not make #arbitrary, racist decisions about who is allowed to enter. Unfortunately, however, FIFA is far too #corrupt to enforce this rule against #Trump.
