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 Brian, I've respected your work over the years. But in this you're out of your depth. The whole core of this problem *isn't the sitting president*. It's in the enabling supporters. The cult if you will. Without them backing him up he'd just be some vicious bitter old man yelling at kids to GTFO his lawn. Yes, it's made up of regular people too caught up in this grab for total hegemonic power.
...And you'll have to fight them if you ever want to have a functional democracy again.
