Career NatSec professional obsessively interested in the world. Recognizes that bad things sometimes happen to all people, but tries very hard to ensure that they only happen to the bad ones.

Dedicated advocate speaking for those without voices.

SCOOP! Many top donors to George Santos' 2020 campaign, uh, don't seem to exist. My colleague Noah Lanard and I tried to contact these donors and found addresses and names that could not be confirmed. Please read/share/boost.

@QasimRashid You don't. You deconstruct the organization that enabled this horror, create an evaluation standard to assess relative engagement with the task and purpose, and begin again.

Admittedly, with the largest police force in the country involved, Gov. Newsome will probably have to use the CA National Guard under DSCA authorities to cover the gap between dissolution and the stand-up of a new organization.

Curious how long until my account on birbsite is suspended now, since my name is my Mastodon handle and literally can't be changed lol. Let's wait and see.
Sorry... (really not sorry at all). I asked ChatGPT to write a Jay-Z song name checking John Mastodon, and the results were so much better than I could have expected.... #JohnMastodon

Unbelievable, yet true!

Deleting my Twitter account and going all-in on the Fediverse actually increased my Twitter presence.

@RWerpachowski @Pwnallthethings Clearly not. It was meant as an example, not the baseline. We would benefit from having a single standard for human rights, if that standard were enforced globally.
@Pwnallthethings Not only that - the noise that's generated around moderation is largely meant to cloud the issue, not resolve it. It's not like any right under USC is unlimited or ineligible for review.

@msignorile Absolutely not.

It's a reductive argument, but the bottom line is that we must be ready to deploy, engage, and destroy our enemies in close combat. Someone that is afraid of a shot will flinch back from the fight we are in.

We relinquish many rights to serve, but as long as the trust (that the government will honor its promises) holds true, then I will accept that compact.

@Pwnallthethings That could be a sign your pearls aren't authentic.
