I've started posting on LinkedIn all the unconstitutional shit Trump and Musk are doing to undermine the security and integrity of our government. Mainly because that crowd needs to hear it most. It's incredible how many people in the infosec space are still defending the actions of DOGE and its dear leader(s). And they're not all crypto bros and AI peddlers; we're talking about people in some pretty important roles, tech-wise.

But at least when they reply with the inevitable "stay in your lane" or "I used to like you when you stayed out of politics," they are on record as complicit and totally okay with what is going on.

@briankrebs When people bitch about anything remotely about "This is a business site, and politics should stay out." My response is "I'll keep my politics out of business the day business gets out of politics."

@lerxst @briankrebs During the lockdown, I posted about a F2F job interview at a company where, after the masked job seeker walks into the interview conference room, several people are unmasked. The seeker asks about moving to a break area outdoors. It's shot down. "Thanks but no thanks. I'll show myself out." and the seeker leaves.

Crickets. No response from anyone. And recruiters stopped reaching out with "great opportunities". I set my profile to private and a couple months later just deleted the account altogether.

I had the same conversation yesterday on an author forum. If authors think the book community shouldn’t mention politics when they’re burning and banning books, then I know which side they’re on. And I don’t want to read their books.
