CrimethInc. Ex-WorkersRobert Mueller has died.
During the first Trump administration, the Mueller investigation represented the centrist fantasy that the so-called Justice Department could halt the slide into fascism.
In fact, the anticipated reckoning, dubbed "Mueller Time," never arrived.
It really is up to us.
https://crimethinc.com/muellertime
"Mueller Time is not an hour on the clock, but a way of experiencing time, a kind of time—like crunch time or quality time or go time, but the opposite of all of them. It is not a scale of time, like geologic time, or a time zone, like Eastern Standard Time—Mueller Time is more like the End Times, perpetually anticipated.
"Mueller Time is the political suspended animation in which the Democrats wait for a repeatedly deferred deus ex machina to deliver them from this unbearable pres(id)ent. This waiting, itself, rather than any of the grievous injustices that have taken place during it, is the essence of hell.
"Mueller Time is a way of inhabiting the eternally renewed amnesia that is America. This is the real 'deep state'—the part of each Democrat’s heart that will accept any amount of senseless violence and murder and oppression, provided it adheres to the letter of the law."

@rickf Christ, what an asshole
I'm curious if anyone in the infosec community has taken a look at the ICE tracking app AntiFreeze
It's a JavaScript-only app that installs from its associated webpage. This was to get around Apple capitulating to [Redacted's] administration request to pull similar apps.
It's hosted in the Netherlands, to get around further takedown requests. The creator had this to say in the comments on the above linked article:
"AntiFreeze is a progressive web app. When you visit antifreeze.app in your browser, you'll see a landing page that explains what it does and walks you through how to add it to your home screen. That install process is just a built-in browser feature, the same 'Add to Home Screen' option that's been in Safari and Chrome for years. There's no APK, no file download, no executable. Once it's on your home screen, it opens in its own window and all the features become available: reporting, the map, the alert notifications. It's the same technology behind apps like Starbucks and Pinterest's mobile experiences.
As for whether it's a government honeypot: the app collects no personal data. No login, no email, no phone number, no account. It doesn't ask for your name or store your IP. You don't have to take my word for it. BorderReport, MSN, KTLA and NewsNation all covered the app independently. You can search those outlets by name and find the articles, or check antifreeze.app/press for the links."
I built an ICE tracking app that can't be pulled from the App Store. Because it was never in one.
Last October, the Trump administration made a couple of phone calls and got Apple and Google to remove every ICE tracking app from their stores. ICEBlock, the most popular one, had over a million downloads. Gone overnight. No court order. No law...
