I'm a retired, General Officer level U.S. Army Intelligence leader who's been in INFOSEC since the 1980s, when it was mostly mainframes & Novell. Certifications came after, when I was off leading in the PSYOP / counternarrative side of IO, so I don't have any & cannot claim to be any sort of technical expert--but I can still (in sha' Allah) talk intelligently with folks who ARE technical experts & help connect such discourse to strategic outcomes.

I'm also coming onboard as Associate Director of an academic Global & National Security Policy Institute, a Twitter refugee sold on the fediverse as the most resilient architecture to avoid getting co-opted by billionaires or governments, an observant Muslim & aspiring alim, and a senior EDUCATIONAL Technology scholar.

As I said in my old Twitter bio, "Yep--weird." :-D

Hey, great idea! And since THEY didn’t cause the problem in the first place, maybe the best way for them to DO so is, you know, TO STAND UP FOR INTERNATIONAL LAW by siding with the people of Iran against this unprovoked war of aggression by the #Donjjal and #IsraelAtWarCrimes....

@pluralistic : "New Mexico passed a law banning armed federal officials from showing their fascist asses anywhere within 50 feet of a polling place or ballot drop-box. ... what the *fuck* are the other blue statehouses waiting for? This is a white-hot, hair-on-fire emergency. As Blanc says, if we wait until November to find out what Trump is going to do, it'll be too late. The time to act is *now*."

Vote suppression is the all the dying GOP has left. Deny it to them.

Iran war updates: Marco Rubio tells Al Jazeera that Trump prefers diplomacy

These were the updates on the US-Israeli war on Iran on Monday, March 30, 2026,

Al Jazeera

After the #revolution, being an executive or major investor in any entity linked to #AmericanOligarchs linked to the #TurdReich (e.g. Tesla, SpaceX, Palantir, Oracle) should be a crime mandating forfeiture of all your assets as reparations to society.
