“I made my decisions in the investigation without regard to President Trump’s political association, activities, beliefs, or candidacy in the 2024 election. We took actions based on what the facts & the law required—the very lesson I learned early in my career as a prosecutor.”

#ProPalestinian activists rally outside #PortlandME courthouse to support fellow #protesters
Morgan Womack, Portland Press Herald, Maine
Thu, July 10, 2025
Jul. 10—"A group of pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered outside the #CumberlandCountyCourthouse on Thursday morning ahead of a court hearing for their peers who were arrested at a protest in May.
"More than a dozen people rallied with signs and a #PalestinianFlag as 10 people — half of the group that was previously arrested — awaited their arraignments. During their hearings, they each pleaded not guilty to one count of #obstructing a public way. The rest of the group will appear in court at a later date, the protesters said.
"Jamila Levasseur, 70, of #WaldoME, was one of the 20 people arrested in Portland on May 21 after police accused them of blocking the intersection of Commercial and Pearl streets near the U.S. Custom House. She said at the time that she'd be arrested as many times as necessary to bring attention to the widespread #starvation and ongoing #Israeli airstrikes in #Gaza.
"When appearing at the stand, Levasseur told District Court Judge Jed French that she was 'protesting against #genocide in #Gaza' before entering her not-guilty plea. She referenced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu's recent talks with President Donald #Trump, recognizing their joint strikes on #Iran and discussing plans for a 60-day #ceasefire that would halt Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza.
" 'Those are the #WarCriminals,' Levasseur said. 'We're not criminals.'
"Levasseur said she couldn't have anticipated that the war would still be going on 21 months after it began. She said she's thankful that a group of attorneys stepped forward to represent the protesters for free, and that the May demonstration in the Old Port attracted a new, larger crowd of supporters.
" 'More and more people are waking up, learning what's going on, horrified, and want to do something,' Levasseur said. 'The people we were arrested with, I didn't even know them all when we were arrested. ... It's not the usual suspects. It's just more ordinary people.'
"Levasseur and #AbigailFuller, 65, of Portland, were also arrested at a February 2024 protest on Franklin Street for obstructing a public way. Their charges in those cases have since been dropped.
"Fuller, who is also a lecturer at the University of Southern Maine, said she felt supported by the group of people outside the courthouse while walking into her arraignment. She pleaded not guilty and also told the judge she was protesting genocide when she was arrested.
" 'It feels good to be starting the process,' Fuller said. 'The Maine courts system takes a really long time, often, to get through, but this is the first step.'
"Fuller said she appreciates seeing new faces at protests, especially as airstrikes and shootings in the #GazaStrip continue, killing people attempting to receive #HumanitarianAid.
" 'Unfortunately, Palestinian deaths are not on the front pages of the newspaper anymore,' Fuller said. 'So, we're trying to keep that in the public eye.' "

(17/N) Finally, two threat types that refer to security more than privacy:
An adversary destroys, withdraws, steals or misappropriates information, access, or resources. The obstruction can be temporary or permanent, partial or total. Obstructing can also occur unintentionally, with the “adversary” being deterioration, malfunction, or disaster.
An adversary deliberately corrupts the integrity or authenticity of information, resources, processes, or interactions. The respective information, resources, processes, or interactions aren’t necessarily controlled or owned by the persons that are affected, and may also be fabricated. Interfering can also occur unintentionally, with the “adversary” being deterioration, malfunction, or disaster.

(14/N) Having familiarized ourselves with categories of adversaries, their main goals and their respective, overall "modus operandi", let's look at the types of threats posed by them.
Again, it pays to focus on types of threats: We don't want to become mainly alert-triggered, but proactive. There are several frameworks we can borrow ideas from, most notably the LINDDUN framework that is geared toward threats to privacy, and can be extended a bit to cover more ground.
First, our list of threat types:
Our definitions of these, for our context:
Linking
An adversary can figure out connections and relationships between formerly isolated items of interest.
Identifiying
An adversary can link items of interest directly to a natural person.

The case w/the potential to undermine charges against #Trump, spurred behind-the-scenes footwork by the justices, incl the mysterious reassignment of a majority opinion.
#FischervUnitedStates, posed the question: Had prosecutors overreached in charging some #Jan6 *rioters* under a #law originally aimed at white-collar crime? Of the ~1,500 people who had been indicted in the Capitol attack as of June, when Fischer was decided, ~250 cases included a charge of #obstructing an official proceeding.
2/ It also highlights examples of #denial from #representatives. “Of course the #climate is changing,” Sen. Ted #Cruz said in 2018. “The climate has been #changing from the dawn of time. The climate will change as long as we have a planet #earth.”
Just because #politicians say they believe in #climatechange doesn’t mean that they are not still #obstructing #climateaction or using climate #rhetoric.
After the #Jan6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, federal prosecutors charged >350 participants in #Trump’s #insurrectionist mob w/ #obstructing or impeding an official proceeding. The charge carries a 20-yr maximum penalty & is part of a #law enacted after the exposure of massive #fraud & shredding of documents during the collapse of the energy giant Enron.
