I'm reading a bunch of Coruna reports after dinner because I am a cool person who knows how to party. Of particular interest: not only does Coruna not work against iOS in lockdown mode, but if it even detects lockdown mode running, it bails. This is why I talk about lockdown mode so damn much.
DHS's Office of Industry Partnership was hacked by a group called "Department of Peace" and info about ICE contracts with over 6,000 companies is now published on @ddosecrets.org!

NEW: For months, I’ve been working on the story of Peter Williams, the former U.S. defense contractor who stole several hacking tools and then sold them to a Russian broker.
Here’s what we know about the case, what we still don’t know, and a peek behind the scenes at how I reported this story.
New from 404 Media: how ICE and CBP are using the free walkie-talkie app Zello to coordinate their operations. We've linked multiple Zello accounts to ICE, found group chats with names referencing immigration. App previously criticized for allowing far right channels

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.
He finally died.
I am so angry.

Economy doing poorly? tariffs. Economy doing well? Also tariffs. Supreme court said you can't do any more tariffs? Believe it or not, tariffs.
Donald Trump has tanked America so bad in one year that even the Supreme Court thinks he’s gone too far. This historic decision is a step in the right direction to rein in Trump’s illegal tariff taxes—but it can’t undo the damage Trump has already done to working families and small businesses.
BREAKING: Given tariff ruling, Newsom has said: Issue an immediate refund to all Americans for your illegal tax. Now.
Thank you for updating the thumbnail, that was a super frustrating intro 😆
It's asbestos.
Solid zero for me. Surprised okra isn't on the list because it's basically the only thing I won't eat these days. When I was a kid I wouldn't eat beats or tofu but that was mostly how they were prepared back then. I don't see snails around often, but everything else is something I eat regularly.
Great job buddy 😆
Is this related to the Tulsi thing? This reality TV politics era is exhausting 😩
PSA from @johncusack.bsky.social:
Democracy is under attack — and paywalls shouldn’t stand in the way of accessing vital public records.
News outlets, it’s time to drop the paywalls for FOIA-based reporting.
The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.
The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

Trump Wants to Sue Trevor Noah for Defamation. Here's His Problem
The law is clear, says Zeteo contributor @kimwehle.bsky.social. The president would need to prove “actual malice” on the part of the comedian... plus comedy is protected by the First Amendment.

I'm pretty sure the current supreme court has no interest in gaining "trust" or "legitimacy". They are doing these things on purpose, these aren't silly mistakes.
🚨 Documents leaked to me reveal a federal watchlist of American protesters suspected of being Antifa - including its supposed leader.
One Department of Homeland Security document says a 29-year-old resident of Portland "is the leader of Antifa":

If you’re an activist, journalist, exec, or have a high threat model for any other reason, I do recommend using all tools to protect against spyware including Apple’s lockdown mode and WhatsApp’s new Strict Account Settings. Thanks WhatsApp for the partnership to get the word out to folks.
Good. More sanctions please.
We're tired of judges getting getting credit for saying or writing the right things in response to ICE abuses — including of journalists and their sources — but not doing anything about it.
Here is the video. Trigger warning: MURDER
Initial report is that two observers got into a shoving match with eight agents, one observer was wrestled to the ground, and then an ICE agent pulled out a sidearm and shot the man on the ground five times.
New: Immigration Protester Faces Terrorism Charges, Deportation as Trial Approaches

Looks like a hoax. Hopefully. Definitely not seeing anything like that on the online store.

A dark blue mug with an American flag reads “AMERICA 1776 – 2026”
Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…
New from 404 Media: ICE's facial recognition app, which the agency is using to decide who to detain and deport, misidentified a woman. Twice.
ICE says results of the app are definitive and override a birth certificate; obviously this case shows the app is inaccurate

Here is our breakdown of Webloc, the phone surveillance tool ICE has bought which lets the agency track phones in entire neighborhoods. See phones it has data on in an area, follow them home or to work, see the exact route they took www.youtube.com/watch?v=rurJ...
If the figures we're getting out of Iran are in the right league, this weekend was, I think, one of the bloodiest state crackdowns of all time. People are talking 12,000-20,000 dead; for comparison Hungary in 1956 was about 2,500, Tiananmen - across country, in multiple cities - probably 1000+
