🧵Introducing the Trump Action Tracker website!

Today I’m launching www.trumpactiontracker.info - a live, searchable list of authoritarian‑style actions from Trump’s second term (over 740 actions so far). 1/14
A great new newsletter. Check out the section on exporting the great firewall.
I made a newsletter. I went overboard with detail, but I love sharing #OSINT tips and tricks.

I've covered:
- Innovations & resources.
- Free detailed aerial imagery tool.
- DIY power grid map.
- Analysis of leaked data on mass censorship & surveillance.

With attacks on speedboats in the Caribbean Sea, President Trump has ordered the summary execution of people who may not have committed the crime of which he accused them, the editorial board says. “It is a violation of legal due process that should alarm all Americans.”

Even if the allegations are correct, blowing up the boats is a lawless exercise in the use of deadly force.

Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."

New by me - although Citrix say there is no evidence of exploitation of CitrixBleed 2 vulnerability, they are wrong - it has been under active exploitation since mid June by an IP associated to a ransomware group, with multiple IP addresses now involved.

one of the huge problems society will need to grapple with as these get better is not just that a lot of people will believe fake videos, or generate fake videos to validate false beliefs, but also that by-default a lot of people will assume even real videos that are uncomfortable to face are faked

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.
This is worth paying attention to... The interviewee says "I think it's worth risking my career, and even my personal safety, to speak out about this."
