Cybersecurity is political. Period, end of story. If you could vote and didn’t bother because it was boring you’re just as responsible for loss of key research, ISAC funding, international collaboration, and federal jobs.

Same if you kept using X.

We warned you.

Johns Hopkins laying off more than 2,000 workers after dramatic cut in USAID funding

Johns Hopkins University announced Thursday that it will be cutting more than 2,000 jobs after it lost $800 million in funding from the US Agency for International Development amid the Trump administration’s effort to significantly downsize the federal government.

If you made that mistake, you sure as hell had best be getting yourself registered to vote, informed, and very involved at a local level, right now.

@hacks4pancakes We're in the process of getting our passports renewed this month so we can prove to any voting nitwits that my wife's hyphenated name is indeed legit despite it not being on her birth certificate. FUCK the SAVE act and any one who supports it.

@hacks4pancakes I'm going to my nearest Tesla dealership this weekend to flip it off and to take a picture of that for the "bird watching" segment of the Daily Beans podcast. Don't worry, no faces, just birds.

@T2R @hacks4pancakes Our Senator was at an Indivisible meeting, and he was so clueless about the SAVE act.

This legislation that could prevent married women from voting? Never heard of it. Our State's Attorney knew his stuff though.

@hacks4pancakes also applies to those of us who were already informed, involved, and voted.
