"Indifference is the epitome of evil." / „We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented"

Catwatchful is yet another Android spy app that deliberately hides its icon so it can't be easily detected; also known as "stalkerware." This app uploads a victim's photos, messages, real-time location, and more.
Security researcher Eric Daigle found the unauthenticated bug in the operation's API, exposing the entire user database of stalkers and snoops (his blog is below). After sharing the data with me, I began investigating who hosted the operation and who runs it.

During this year’s legislative session in Texas, Elon Musk’s lobbyists and representatives publicly advocated for almost a dozen bills that would benefit his companies.
All but three of his priorities are now slated to become law.

A Jan. 6 rioter was caught on video encouraging insurrectionists to "kill" police officers. Now he has a job in Trump’s Justice Department.

“The #Wisconsin Supreme Court’s liberal majority struck down the state’s 176-year-old #abortion ban on Wednesday, ruling 4-3 that it was superseded by a newer state law that criminalizes abortions only after a fetus can survive outside the womb”
The Wisconsin Supreme Court has struck down the state’s 176-year-old abortion ban. The court’s liberal majority ruled 4-3 on Wednesday that the ban is no longer valid because newer abortion restrictions superseded it. State lawmakers adopted the total ban in 1849. It was in effect until 1973, when the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion nullified it, and was never repealed. Conservatives argued that the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2022 decision overturning Roe reactivated the prohibition. Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul sued, arguing that a 1985 state law that prohibits abortions after viability essentially repealed the ban.

Vice President Vance claims to be a champion for working class Americans.
He just cast the tie-breaking vote to make working class Americans sicker, poorer, and more economically vulnerable.
All to give the richest people in America tax cuts they don't need.
"If the House passes their big bill, they would be voting to cancel thousands of energy projects over the next decade.
There's a reason that trade unions are calling this "the biggest job-killing bill in history."
