What kind of country is this?
Senator Alex Padilla was handcuffed for asking questions at a press event — detained for doing his job.
And DHS’s response?
They’re here to “liberate [the people] from the government of California.”

by me:
It's important to protect our data online, and this is doubly true for anyone in the queer community.
But protecting our data shouldn't mean staying isolated.
It can be difficult to find a balance,
but it is fundamental to stay connected with our communities.
There are tools and practices that can help us with this.
Stay safe 🔒
But stay connected :rainbow_heart:

The good news is that we don't hate you. Allow us to explain: https://wsdotblog.blogspot.com/2025/06/send-in-cones-youre-probably-going-to.html

TL;DR for blue teamers:
Don’t let your org get dunked on by a 2017 CVE in 2025. That’s not a good look.

Snapdragons are my favorite flower because finger-puppets. Rawr.
I’ve started telling my 3yo that Teslas are called “poop cars.”
“Hey look, dad! Another poop car!”
I'm awake and ready to make that a problem. Happy Friday.
