For those wondering about @signalapp's scaling, #WhatsApp's decision to sell out its users to @facebook has led to what is probably the biggest digital migration to a more secure messenger we've ever seen. Hang in there while the Signal team catches up. twitter.com/signalapp/stat…

The government cast Manning into a dungeon for resisting a scheme to make publishers of news subject to the Espionage Act. They offered to let her out in exchange for collaboration, but she chose her principles instead.
That is moral strength.

The real scandal isn't that Biden had classified documents coming out of his socks, because sadly they've all been doing it.
The scandal is that the DOJ found out about it a week prior to the midterm elections and chose to suppress the story, conferring a partisan advantage. twitter.com/Snowden/status…

How long do we have left before the iPhone in your pocket begins quietly filing reports about encountering “extremist” political material, or about your presence at a "civil disturbance"? edwardsnowden.substack.com/p/all-seeing-i

"What you have is a government inside a government, an undemocratic apparatus making all of the decisions beneath a shell of democracy—something that looks like a democracy and is called a democracy, but has almost none of the properties a democracy is defined by." twitter.com/ggreenwald/sta…

This is the first time in a while I've felt like buying bitcoin. That drop was too much panic and too little reason.

The last time we heard a White House considering a pardon was 2016, when the very same Attorney General who once charged me conceded that, on balance, my work in exposing the NSA's unconstitutional system of mass surveillance had been "a public service." nypost.com/2020/08/13/tru…

i say this with love:
if you got talked into exchanging your hard-earned savings for some new dog money because a meme said you'd get rich, please carefully consider your odds of outsmarting a market that sold to you its stake in *not even dog money but a CLONE of dog money*

The CIA is not your friend.
The CIA is not a friend of the United States.
The CIA is a friend of power, and power alone.

Never forget that the Freedom of the Press is the very first part of the Bill of Rights. If you're out on the street claiming to defend the Constitution, the way you do that is by protecting reporters, not attacking them.

Have you ever looked at who is behind these new for-profit "fact-checking" companies?
"NewsGuard" is "advised" by one of the country's most famous liars—the man who secretly built the global mass surveillance system that, once uncovered, courts condemned as an outrageous crime.

"I am, as an ex-CIA agent, opposed to the disinformation activities in which I was involved. I admit that I was involved, and I think it served no useful purpose. Propagandizing the American public or Congress is not the CIA's job."

What is a Central Bank Digital Currency, you ask? Oh, you know: just a "useful policy tool" for casually annihilating the savings of every wage-worker in the country if they don't spend them fast enough. twitter.com/adasound_io/st…
