This article deeply implies that the FBI had an informant inside the group, potentially even the creator of the group itself.

The FBI accessed and spied on a Signal group chat that was organizing immigrant “court watch” efforts in NYC.
I feel like this should be bigger news.
You aren’t supposed to be able to spy on Signal chats.
Were they invited? How did they get access? Was there a warrant?

Varifrån kommer ”Slava Ukrajini”? Anna-Lena ger en bakgrund men den är ofullständig och därför missvisande. Slava Ukrajini kommer från Ukrainska Folkrepublikens tid 1918 (OUN bildades 1929). Men rötterna är ännu djupare och går minst till Taras Sjevtjenko på 1800-talet. www.dn.se/varlden/anna... 1/3
