A Lawyer Who Helped the Kushners Crack Down on Poor Tenants Now Helps Renters Fight Big Landlords
—
“It was like a heavyweight sparring featherweights,” the attorney said about his time representing companies owned by Trump’s in-laws, whose apartments were known for shoddy maintenance and aggressive legal tactics.

Just lovely… Spyware maker NSO, still on the US Commerce Department’s “blacklist,” has hired a new lobbying firm with direct ties to the Trump administration. www.wired.com/story/nso-gr... #spyware #nso #trump #infosec

The POTUS has issued a memo ordering a federal investigation into Chris Krebs, former head of DHS's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The president fired Krebs after the CISA director declared the 2020 election that Trump lost was the most secure in U.S. history.
"Trump's orders revoked the security clearances for Christopher Krebs, the former head of DHS's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and Miles Taylor, a former senior DHS official who wrote a highly critical tell-all book about his time in Trump's first administration."
When Trump first took aim at Chris Krebs back in 2020, I started getting tons of hate mail that was directed at him. People full of ignorant rage figuring we're the same person because we share a last name. We're not even related.
Now it's happening again. Here's one I just got less than an hour ago:
From: Eric <eticket@countermail.com>
Subject: Accountability
Message Body:
Krebs:
I used to be an admirer of yours but, ever since the 2020 election, I lost all respect for you.
You either lied or were complicit in the 2020 election theft and DJT is coming after you.
Krooks like Krebs need to be held accountable and I can't wait.
@kimzetter these executive orders are surreal and not enough people are reading them top to bottom. Each one reads like a tantrum with hidden Easter eggs like the sentinelOne specific call out. Thanks for the coverage and exposure.
Is the sky fluxxing?! Last week a CISA advisory on DNS Fast Flux created a lot of buzz. We have an insider's take.
Fast Flux is a nearly 20 year old technique and is essentially the malicious use of dynamic DNS. It is critical that protective DNS services understand this -- and all other DNS techniques -- on that we agree.
What we also know as experts in DNS is that there are many ways to skin a cat, as they say.

Online gambling operators are sponsoring charities?? If only :(
We've identified a malicious gambling affiliate whose specialty is to buy expired domain names which used to belong to charities or reputable organisations.
Once they own a domain, they host a website impersonating its previous owner, where they claim to "deeply appreciate the support from [their] sponsors", which surprise surprise, all turn out to be dubious online gambling companies.
Because the domain they are taking over is often abandoned or managed by non-technical people, its previous owner often doesn't notify anyone that they've lost control of their website, so it continues being referenced in genuine content, and it continues getting traffic from old links scattered throughout the internet.

I'm seeing posts about the Hands Off protests not mattering unless the political landscape changes and that is true. But I would urge a reconceptualization of that view.
Hands Off protests can matter because they demonstrate that we have large numbers of people who agree with us and now, buoyed by those numbers, we can continue our activism.
But there has to be follow up, Demonstrations can't take the place of showing up to the polls to vote. We can’t keep learning everything the hard way.
@kmmfoo it's not about you. It's about your neighbor. They voted for Kamala but they didn't even know there was a protest. And if they did, they wouldn't go because they read in their favorite paper that protests are violent... Or they don't think will matter...
We need 3.5% and we aren't getting there without readers of the mainstream media. It's gonna take a lot of tools to get people out and mobilized.
@jackwilliambell you can use one time and fake email accounts with anonymous browsing. Thats what we do in the security industry. I totally understand your perspective though.
Unfortunately the way to get more mass mobilization is not coverage by the Stranger in Seattle or similar liberal outlets.
@WiseWoman yeah I was afraid of that. One time email? I did see the video is on the featured videos but it super disappointing to see coverage get buried in a few hours.
@Emmeline understand completely. The vast majority of the population reads big outlets like these... So my thoughts are to help push that forward so next time more people participate..but it's just a suggestion.
Yesterday the Washington Post app ran a story about the #handsoff #protests at the top of the app. Today it is hard to find any coverage. This is now buried in the "The District" section of the app and only found by searching for me.
This is a gift article. I recommend people visit the article, share the link with others... And show the WashPo that massive voter turnout deserves more than a few hours in the spotlight.
In the meantime they keep the same junk articles on the top stories for days
Let's see if their Top Stories algorithm actually works.. boost and click through.
@wdlindsy interesting.. certainly the stories change out, but last night Pacific Time the Washington Post had the protests as their top story in the app, and the New York times as the second below firing national security leaders.
And yet, this morning there is no story in either app under top stories, latest, or politics in my version...
"If one of us stands up, they can pick that person off. If ten or a hundred or a thousand, they can pick those people off. And they're picking off people--immigrants, dissidents--to make an example of them. But if ten million people stand up, they cannot stop us all. And today we are millions."

This is about 2% of the population of Talkeetna, Alaska. Pretty amazing.. number may seem small but my understanding is that 1% is a strong showing for mobilization.. #handsoff #protest
Seattle delivered! Our Seattle Center park was packed to the brim and rolling out the sides. There was just a sea of people so no hope in hearing any speakers, but lots of great signs.
I saw a great photo from Talkeetna, Alaska...even there they were out in force.
I can't get close enough to hear much because the crowd is simply too large. But the signs are terrific! #handsoff

I just tried it. Didn’t work.
