After deleting all my other social media, I’m coming to Bluesky to start anew. CISO and Attorney. Privacy and security law. Holding leadership to ethics and transparency is more than a stance, it’s the baseline.
Pinned
Starting from scratch…again. I deleted all other social media accounts (Twitter, facebook, TikTok, etc…) as I can’t stand the ownership of those platforms. So, time to build up again.
Me? I’m a CISO with a law degree, living in Washington state. I’m blue through and through.

To those who are inferring there is no evidence that Epstein trafficked girls to the rich and powerful, including trump (yes, I also you @giladedelman.bsky.social):
Witness statements ARE evidence. Just because you don’t want to believe the victims does not remove their statements as evidence.

Love how the presumption here is that the President doesn't know what he's sharing and that's fine and normal.
Sorry, no, if the President doesn't know what he's sending out then that is indisputable proof of gross incompetence, cognitive unfitness, or both.

The New York Times has finally covered the Trump video of Obama as an ape — and they are still providing cover for him. Fuck the Times.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

@warren.senate.gov, forgive me if I’m being obtuse, but isn’t it illegal to lie to congress (18 U.S.C. § 1001)?

Why is Bezos doing this? Because he can. He can ruin the Washington Post without any impact to him.
He bought the Washington Post for $250 million. Sounds like a lot, huh? But, that is only 0.00125 of his net worth.
In perspective, it’s like if you had $100,000 in the bank, and you lose $125.

I keep hearing people say that trump needs to read the constitution (even without pictures) and learn the law.
It’s not a factor of not knowing the law, with trump, it’s that he doesn’t care about the law.
