The operation was a success. The patient is not pleased.

#Caturday

I think the news are already out for some time, so I won’t repeat it here, but fosstodon.org got infected with an active fascist among their mod team and they openly state they’re happy with it.

#fediblock will commence in 24h if the action isn’t taken and public apology isn’t provided.

I recommend #fediadmin-s to look into that and make a decision as well. This is a dangerous precedent and how fedi reacts is important.

Pissed at Labor for leaving so-many behind on less than poverty income during twin cost-of-living and housing crises, turning their back on Truth & Treaty and letting the gambling industry run riot over old media.

But will concede they've run a masterful campaign at keeping Rinehart's ratfucks away from Cabinet at this critical moment in history.

And preferencing Greens and Legalise Cannabis across the country - what's that about? 'Please don't make us do these things to gain your Senate support.' *Wink*

"Simply put, the Trump administration is pushing a plan of Ukrainian surrender. …

The rest of the world sees this proposal for what it is: the sudden abandonment of our ally in exchange for a false promise of peace."

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had a dirty internet connection that bypassed the Pentagon’s security protocols set up in his office to use the Signal messaging app on a personal computer https://apnews.com/article/hegseth-signal-chat-dirty-internet-line-6a64707f10ca553eb905e5a70e10bd9d
Hegseth had unsecured internet line in Pentagon for Signal, sources say

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had an internet connection that bypassed the Pentagon’s security protocols set up in his office to use the Signal messaging app on a personal computer. That's according to two people familiar with the line who spoke to The Associated Press. Known as a “dirty" internet line by the IT industry, it connects directly to the public internet, where the user’s information and the websites accessed don't have the same security filters or protocols that the Pentagon’s secured connections maintain. The chief Pentagon spokesman said Hegseth "has never used and does not currently use Signal on his government computer.”
