I'm not salty or anything, and I don't live in America anymore - but I absolutely checked a couple major cybersecurity events with rotating venues because surely by now in 2026, they must have moved to places safe for women and trans attendees, surely, surely, surely,

nah of course not

@hacks4pancakes I cannot believe my country, once one of the safest places for an international event, has turned into one of the most dangerous ones. Roving masked thugs armed to the teeth and with virtually no training and massive amounts of authority to do dastardly things.

And a good 1/3 of my fellow citizens believe it is not only OK, but great. 🤦🏽 💔

Yeah, it's not the ONLY place, but come on, it was very safe. Indeed, a place millions sought refuge. I'm sorry we've become a fascist state run by a lunatic and his syncophantic cult of GOP apologists.

@valpackett Bullshit. Just as social security doesn't make the US socialist.
