I can tell you how they did it, because they tried to do it to me—

Be very careful with anyone new being joined to your Signal chats; be cautious with what you say in group chats where you don't explicitly know (IRL) and trust every member.

Most of all, beware group invites. 1/

2/ They may try to use people of color to lure you in, or use some other commonality between you and their surveillance persona. They may appear on the surface to be genuine activists. Ask a lot of questions, act legally in your dealings, and follow your gut.

🚨 THREAD: NEW preprint paper by Cornell University researchers found that @elonmusk's @Grokipedia cited the white nationalist site VDare 107 times, the neo-Nazi site Stormfront 42 times, and the conspiracy site Infowars 34 times. 👀👇 1/🧵

#AdversarialML #AIethics 2/ Their analysis of over 880K articles revealed 12,522 citations to sources deemed low-credibility by academic research (3x higher than Wikipedia). They found ~5.5% of Grokipedia articles have citations to sources strictly blacklisted by the Wiki community for unreliability.

There are so many wild details in here, holy shit.

Legacy reporters ignored while the new MAGA-friendly press corps boasts of a direct hotline to officials. Access is now a reward for loyalty. The govt has created an information asymmetry where approved narratives get speed and access; critical inquiry gets the silent treatment.

We keep talking about "Russian hybrid warfare" but what we are facing is a deliberate pincer designed to break states without ever declaring war.​ Four blades close simultaneously: institutional capture, disinformation & psyops, legal attacks, and physical acts of sabotage.​ 1/🧵 2/ First axis: institutional capture.​

Moscow cultivates political parties, media outlets, churches, business lobbies, and "cultural" fronts that gradually bend key nodes of our own systems toward Russian interests while retaining plausible deniability.

Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 revealed a deeper problem: Boeing couldn't identify who reinstalled the door plug that blew off mid-flight. The NTSB found no names, no records, no footage.

Similar gaps echo across other airlines and incidents. 🧵 The 737 MAX-9 lost its door plug minutes after takeoff. Nine passengers sustained minor injuries. Boeing admitted it had no record of who performed the door work. 25 unidentified personnel, overwritten video, missing oversight.

THREAD: The Trump admin is systematically defying federal court orders at an unprecedented rate. Of 165 cases where judges ruled against Trump, approximately 57 cases (35%) involved the administration defying, ignoring, or circumventing judicial orders.

1/🧵 Unroll at the end👇 VENEZUELAN DEPORTATIONS: Judge Boasberg found probable cause of criminal contempt in April when Trump deported alleged Tren de Aragua gang members w/o due process despite a restraining order. The admin hastily sent them to CECOT prison before they could contest removals in court.

Let's talk about the government shutdown happening RIGHT NOW and who's REALLY shutting it down.

The GOP says Democrats are blocking it.

But here's what's actually happening... 🧵 FACT: Republicans control the House AND the Senate. They have the power to pass a budget. So if they truly don't need Democrats, they can pass one.

They're not. Why?

Because they've ENGINEERED this shutdown to accomplish things they couldn't do in normal times.

Everyone's busy debating past White House renovations; a distraction bad actors want!

But Trump's new ballroom more closely mirrors Hitler's Reich Chancellery: scale/timing/symbolism echo a dark legacy, not traditional American architecture.

What are we really looking at? 🧵👇 Built in record time by his architect Albert Speer, Hitler’s New Reich Chancellery was a monumental space made to impress/intimidate. Its ballroom was richly decorated w/ marble & fine woods. It was a grand diplomatic reception area symbolizing Nazi power.

Confused victim of MAGA disinformation The large number of bots on this thread demonstrate my point. MAGA disinformation kills!

A Dilation & Curettage is the standard procedure used to remove a fetus from the womb after premature death. The baby dying does not change pregnancy status. Only voiding the womb does that.

Is there anyone else out there with a funny feeling about this whole Charlie Kirk thing?
I don't have any good explanations for this discrepancy. A journalist should ask Amazon about it.

FYI this is Putin's narrative

The goal is always to make Zelensky look bad and Ukraine undemocratic for postponing elections despite the reality that the country is not in a state to hold an election successfully without external interference.

I spent 10 years building my body, and lost it all in a few months… this is what life did to me

THREAD 🧵
Before everything changed, I was a bodybuilder and trainer in Gaza. I weighed 108kg, full of muscle, strength, and hope.

I was well known in the fitness community and helped many athletes become champions.

Ever feel overwhelmed or distressed after taking in the news?

You might be experiencing vicarious trauma. 😰

Free Palestine. These are not conflicting views. You can want for the people of Palestine & Israel to peacefully co-exist and for the apartheid & genocide to end while also decrying the garbage leadership of both nations. Yes, I cheer for the death of terrorists who do not love their own people.

Reviewing the government's complaint against the alleged Israeli Embassy shooter "Elias Rodriguez" revealed additional suspicious patterns of behavior which could be markers of tradecraft that strengthen my case for intelligence involvement in the murders of Sarah and Yaron. 1. Pro Timing & Logistics:

- OPSEC: Last-min ticket purchase (3hrs before event)
- Planning: Interstate firearm transport via commercial airline
- Minimal exposure window via 1day operation (arrived May 20, attacked 21st)
- Target-rich environment: Gathering of Israeli diplomats

🧵THREAD: 🚩🚩🚩 Red flags suggest the Israeli Embassy shooter "Elias Rodriguez" isn't a genuine American progressive, but possibly an agitator from an authoritarian regime. I analyzed his Goodreads reading list which has 279 entries stored since 2012 under a name that isn't his.

1/9 Real American leftists typically discover Russian literature through college (Tolstoy, Dostoevsky). This person reads obscure Soviet political figures - Molotov memoirs rated 5 stars! That's knowledge usually gained through family/cultural transmission, not U.S. education.

1/ I found a perfect lil' nugget while performing a basic linguistic analysis of the Israeli Embassy shooter's manifesto (published by Klippenstein, who was allegedly visited by fed. agents wanting to know where he got it).

My analysis suggests the phrase "highly legible"...

https://twitter.com/HackingButLegal/status/1925708365923037633

2/ My analysis suggests the phrase "highly legible", when applied to an action, represents a classic "calque": a direct translation that preserves the semantic structure of the source language rather than adopting natural target language expressions.

This thread will covers the violations of human rights which affected this former police officer traveling to Hawai'i from Australia to visit her US Army Lieutenant husband:

1/9 🧵
2/ Right to Due Process and Fair Treatment

Australian woman detained at US border for 24 hours without clear charges, denied legal representation, and officials broke promise to contact her husband.

Basic fair treatment protections completely ignored.

🧵 1/8 THREAD: SCOTUS just handed down a ruling that could LIMIT Trump's ability to prosecute DEI violations, even though it sided with the government.

Here's why I believe Kousisis v. US matters, although I am not an attorney, and this is not legal advice:

2/ THE CASE: Contractors lied about using minority-owned businesses on government projects.

They got paid $20M+ but delivered exactly what was promised, just didn't follow the diversity requirements.

SCOTUS: Still fraud, convictions upheld.
