A Noem aide spent $3 million on pickup trucks emblazoned with the ICE name & logo, which ICE agents -- notoriously averse to advertising their presence -- will not drive, so they're just sitting in a lot, useless. The contract went to a Trump donor who owns a regional Chevy dealership.
So please, if you can, I’d love to have this thread list pro-Trans everything. Creators, craftspeople, writers, artists, activists…if you or someone you know deserves some celebrating, bring it the fuck on, okay?
Post links if you can.
Buy stuff if you can.

Scoop: DHS ousted multiple privacy officers at CBP after they questioned orders to purposely mislabel records about government surveillance to prevent their release under FOIA.
AI companies are hiring people to produce data for practically any job you can imagine: chefs, management consultants, archivists, private investigators, rental-counter clerks. It is, as one industry veteran put it, the largest harvesting of human expertise ever attempted.
Selena Larson, staff threat researcher at Proofpoint who provided a formal declaration in support of the court order, said Tycoon 2FA was responsible for the highest volume of adversary-in-the-middle phishing attacks observed by Proofpoint. “Tycoon was the biggest MFA phishing threat in our data, and we anticipate seeing a significant decrease after this operation,” she told CyberScoop. “Many customers will find their hacking tool is no longer working, and even if Tycoon 2FA is able to create new domains and infrastructure, the brand will be significantly harmed, with customers either purchasing less effective phishing kit, or potentially rethinking their life choices and getting out of the game,” Larson added.
I'm catching up on news and see none other than @selenalarson.bsky.social.
Fantastic work Selena!

Seriously everyone needs to read Wild Faith by @swordsjew.bsky.social - explains the implications of evangelism so well (and also makes those of us raised in it realize just how wild and Not Normal some of the things we learned are)
We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.
Documents obtained by UR show that since 2025, Florida has spent over a half a billion dollars on two new immigrant detention centers in the state. Much of these funds were given to companies that contributed money to Gov. DeSantis' political campaigns.

"Screw Covid, I'm going to Sturgis!" The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, held in August 2020, was the epitome of the individual choice mindset. Of course it spread cases outward and caused infections, illness, and death. A new research paper allows us to watch the Sturgis Covid wave spread across the US.

Security researchers have revealed that signals from tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMSs), required in U.S. cars since 2007, can be used to track vehicles from 40-50 meters away using devices costing $100.
TPMSs send a unique sensor identifier that never changes during the lifetime of the tire.
For all the folks telling people to use Claude instead of ChatGPT, this usage has obviously been in the works for some time and it didn’t violate the terms of their contract. Claude worked along with a tool of Palantir’s to pick targets.
Ironically they’ll probably use Grok now which is worse.
@lizdye.bsky.social wrote about the Trump DOJ’s ethics-rule gambit, and it’s deservedly brutal.
“The problem” with DOJ’s arguments for why their proposed rule isn’t illegal, she patiently explains, “is that all of that is bullshit.”

A woman with Long Covid won almost one million dollars in a lawsuit against her employer who refused to allow her work from home accommodations.

this is why I got into Black feminist theory. the research on sexual violence was VERY white when I first started researching like 15-20 years ago. in the West, gender is VERY racialized
"The research suggests that generalizations about human behavior are often flawed because they rely on samples composed largely of White individuals."

All I can think about is Jeff Bezos saying that he slashed jobs at the Washington Post — including those of foreign correspondents in the Middle East — based on "the data," and a few weeks later a whole war breaks out in the Middle East that these laid off folks would have covered as true experts.
very important video please watch
so Iran has apparently knocked out and destroyed / disabled to some extent two U.S. THAAD batteries
This is a massive deal. Aside from the expense, this is not a weapon system we just have a ton of lying around. You don't replace these easily.

Having Jim Messina at your event is basically admitting your event is about selling out to conservatives, corporations, and billionaires.
How can we trust he cares about our future? His history suggests he cares about himself, he'l do almost anything to make money. Here's a list... 1/
