🚨 NEW: I regret to inform the public the individual blocking @RepMaxineWaters @MaxwellFrostFL et. al lawful entrance to the Dept. of Education today appears to be Tobie Jansen van Rensburg, an offensive cybersecurity expert from South Africa who runs "Grey Owl Cyber Defense". Image

They wiped his face from PimEyes, but I still found him. Image
Image
They are seeding disinformation, seen here possibly using the stolen identity of a Black man on Threads.

This works by seeding lies that aren't verifiable, yet appear highly passable at first blush.

David Fridie does exist, and did work at DoE, but has no Internet presence, including on LinkedIn, so it's impossible to verify without contacting him directly.Image
Image
Image
Even more concerningly, LinkedIn thinks I should be looking at these three posts when I search for David Fridie.

One of those is the account of William Resinger, who says he's accomplished military SERE training, which is specialized/hardcore training given to special forces only.Image
Image
Resinger's most recent LinkedIn post, as of 2 hours ago, states: "From what I understand, they got everything they need now so everything from here on out is futile"

Note his educational background, also shown below.

I rest my case and leave you to draw your own conclusions. Lawmakers must investigate, NOW!!Image

This is something that is not well-understood. The algorithm and the way the website presents you information act as a perception filter which is not truly detectable via human means. Best source would be a leak from inside X explaining the manipulations. We'll have to wait
I have observed that Internet users are typically unaware that websites like news sites, especially their front pages, are often modified such that one user's view may be extremely different from another user's view in terms of the content presented to them and how it's arranged.
The data used to modify the page is often collected from data brokers who have assembled a digital "dossier" of your life and use this to try to determine what you might have the highest chances of clicking on based on what they know about you.

1/5 Former star Tesla engineer Christina Balan faced shocking treatment after raising a brake safety issue with Elon Musk in 2014.

Her entire team was threatened with deportation if they didn't back down, and Balan was forced to resign.

I've tried to post this thread 3 times...
2/5 Balan's bravery in speaking out didn't end there.

Despite battling breast cancer and facing blacklisting from the industry, she successfully represented herself in court and got Tesla's arbitration case against her thrown out.
3/5 Through determination, Balan was able to expose Tesla's vindictive behavior and anti-immigrant attitudes.

Her case shows the risks of forced arbitration and the potential consequences for employees who speak out.

1/ BREAKING: NYT reports the Trump admin is adding migrants to Social Security's "death master file" to cut them off from financial services, which is effectively "tantamount to financial murder" according to former SSA commissioner Martin O'Malley. Image
2/ This is EXACTLY what I warned about in my Nov 2024 piece "The Administrative Art of Persona Non Grata": the quiet strangulation of targeted groups through bureaucratic means.



The persecution I warned about is unfolding in real time.hackingbutlegal.com/p/2025-or-the-…
3/ "The evil intellect of such systems lies not in dramatic displays of power, but in the quiet strangulation of ordinary existence through bureaucratic warfare." This isn't theoretical anymore. It's happening NOW to 1000s of migrants who legally entered under the previous admin.

1/ Musk displayed a troubling disregard for core American values when he told Fox the admin will "go after" those "pushing propaganda" abt Tesla–prioritizing punishment of his critics above respect for the principles which have always defined our republic.
thehill.com/homenews/admin…
2/ Context: Amid the "Tesla Takedown" movement protesting Musk's role in Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), dealerships have faced vandalism, including firebombings. Trump purchased a Tesla in support of Musk as stocks fell, calling attackers "terrorists."
3/ Threatening to target those who "push propaganda" rather than just the perpetrators of violence fundamentally conflicts with established American legal principles in several ways. Musk's ideology diverges entirely from modern U.S. legal theory and is not recognizably American.

As an infosec pro who held security clearance for a number of years, I am somewhat surprised by the big public reaction to top brass' use of Signal for unauth transmission of TS/SCI (NOFORN?) info. This is almost certainly the least harmful security error they have made thus far.
I suppose the public really *doesn't* understand what happens when you get rid of qualified & experienced people and tear down regulations associated with safety & quality which may have originally taken much more time & consideration to implement than they will to dismantle
Did people think that agencies led by incompetent fools would continue functioning as intended? 🤔

Each of these ill-intended appointments has caused irreperable harm to the United States. We are in gravest danger so long as this administration remains in place.

1/ 🚨 NEW: Treasury just launched what might be the most sweeping financial surveillance program in U.S. history. In 30 border ZIP codes, ANY money transfer over $200 will trigger automatic government reporting. Previously this threshold was $10,000.

That isn't a typo! #privacy
2/ What does this mean? If you live in affected areas of CA or TX and send money to family in Mexico, your personal details—name, address, ID info—will be automatically sent to the government starting in mid-April.
For undocumented immigrants, this creates an impossible choice.
3/ The timing is striking: This policy arrives just as Trump considers invoking the Alien Enemies Act. It effectively creates a database that could feed mass deportation efforts—while framed as fighting cartel activity.
This fulfills his long-held goal of targeting remittances.
