Ukrainian hackers say they set up fake Starlink activation channels - and Russians fell for it.

They collected 2,400 data packages on Russian terminals, pocketed $6,000 in crypto, and passed it all to Ukrainian authorities. Every identified terminal was permanently disabled.

Someone tell European policy makers that climate change will not just be a poor country problem, and that the biggest risk with climate is not that people will migrate but that people will die.

Incredibly powerful opinion chronicling the awfulness in Whipple and the ways it interfered with the right to counsel.

One key part of the ruling (that ICE will likely appeal ASAP); Judge Brasel bars ICE from transferring anyone out of Minnesota within 72 hours of arrest.

In other words, long enough that habeas petitions can be filed on their behalf in Minnesota before they're whisked off to an immigration detention facility somewhere in the Fifth Circuit (where, under that court's current law, they wouldn't be eligible for a bond hearing).

The denaturalization project, no matter how it is cloaked in law, is inherently a politically targeted abuse of power until they go after the single most prominent case of naturalization fraud in the country: Elon Musk obtaining his citizenship by lying about his prior immigration status violations.
cool, cool. so we are sort of like citizens, but not really?

It would be embarrassing under any circumstances to spend a year on this reactionary horseshit, but to have spent the year in which graduate students were sent to concentration camps for op-eds and the federal govt launched a no hold barred attack on academic freedom is just beyond

While I had the flu, I dreamt I found a piece of paper with a poem that said something like “lie back in the long grass. Look up at the seed heads bobbing in the wind. The shade is cool. If we lie here long enough, we will become one.” It was written by A. Grass, a hungry grass who wanted fertilizer

This is a simply incredible decision from Judge Brasel. Stunning. In that you will be stunned.

She captures perfectly the experience of trying to locate and help clients disappeared by ICE.

And the stories of detainee’s experience while ICE plays hide-and-seek with their lawyers are soul crushing.

They literally dragged a minor employee out of a Target as he was wailing that he was a US citizen, roughed him up in their car, and then dropped him off bloodied and bruised in the freezing cold a couple of miles away, so miss us with this.

Just saying, if that is the current situation here in the United States—having not been our situation for 200+ years—such that law enforcement cannot operate without concealing their identities, then obviously the ruling party, the Republicans, has failed and must thrown out of office and disbanded.
Ron Johnson: "In Central America, I found out that if you become the new police chief, you get a DVD from the friendly drug cartel with your children and wife going into school and church ... there's such a demand for unmasking ICE officers, but they've been doxxed."

i think many dems should run. i think they should beat up on each other during the primary. i think the idea that a primary should be a kumbaya session and a tough primary hurts you in the general is bullshit. (citation: obama v clinton, trump v bush, reagan v bush)
