But, why protest at Jewish synagogues?

because those synagogues also explicitly support the apartheid state of israel? why are places of worship off limits for protests, you don't think people should be able to protest outside the westboro baptist church?

“End Israel” and “Israel: No Right To Exist,” while calling to stop U.S. military aid to Israel and end violence against Palestinians.

wow why won't these despicable protestors let me support my genocidal apartheid state in peace?? 😡

ty for sharing that! 

gremlin-mode

could you share a link to that? I couldn't find it through googling 

gremlin-mode

where'd you read that?

gremlin-mode

yeah they make sure to mention that in the article but they don't explicitly connect that to how they discovered this person - probably so people will assume that just noticed by happenstance because they were close. but the article is suspiciously careful about not mentioning anything specific.

it's not clear to me how the cops were alerted to her actions - are they just constantly patrolling the sky with drones now?

EDIT: another user linked me to a video on facebook that has a call to the cops in it https://www.facebook.com/reel/1867604031011381

Officers identified the driver as Jayden D. Scott, 23, and his passenger as 31-year-old far-right provocateur Edward J. “Jake” Lang. Scott told officers he didn’t have his license on him and did not know where the paperwork was for the Fusion as it was a rental, reports state.

someone should force these losers to work an actual job for once in their lives, christ

The MAHA-supporting Dr. Remington Nevin was placed on a performance improvement plan following allegations of inappropriate sexual comments

PIPs are (ostensibly) about improving your work performance because you're not meeting expectations. this seems like it's way outside the original intent of a PIP - like what are this guy's goals for improvement going to be, don't sexually harass anyone anymore? that shouldn't be a goal that ever needs to be set!

In the spring I tried to report this to DTE. Their security email address bounced and there's no security contact listed anywhere. This is very unusual; normally there is a dedicated contact point for security.

this is unfortunate but I wouldn't say ~unusual, lots of companies don't prioritize security. and now, if they do have an internal team, that team is getting hammered by llm-generated bug bounty reports that are wrong or greatly overemphasize the severity of discovered risks. the state of the industry sucks for everyone right now. 

"My email is private. Who's going to see it?" More people than you'd think. Email accounts get taken over all the time through phishing or reused passwords

I'd assume for most people, if an attacker gets control of their email account, the attacker has several paths to sensitive pii, so I'm not surprised they don't consider this one instance especially egregious. 

all that being said, this is still a good writeup! as you look for future vulns, consider that teams will heavily prioritize ones that are immediately exploitable against them.

I typed all of that from memory, lol. yeah, conservatives were super racist to obama. he was also a war criminal, and didn't punish any of the war criminals before him, which helped pave the way for future war criminals to hold power. 

gremlin-mode

obama's actions led us directly to the trump admin we see today. if we want to avoid trump v2, we should avoid a repeat of obama. 

gremlin-mode

remember when obama gave tom homan an award for being awesome at deporting families during the obama admin? and now we have tom homan in the trump admin? 

gremlin-mode

no, it was more:

  • refusing to enact any meaningful change wrt health insurance (obamacare was a stopgap to keep the insurance industry afloat, now we're stuck with ballooning costs thanks to those companies)
  • refusing to punish any of the initial architects of the war on terror. remember the john yoo torture memos? 
  • refusing to punish any banking execs for the 08 financial crisis.
  • spreading terror across the middle east with drones. trump continued this. 
  • deporting thousands of innocent people, like trump. giving an award to tom homan for his ability to deport people. obama is literally the reason we have tom homan in the trump admin now. 
  • refusing to close guantanamo bay, which trump is now using as a jail for migrants. 

I guess you just remember obama's suits though

Abdul has already shown he will not capitulate to the center. His principles are strong. 

let's hope! he's been campaigning with war criminals, which usually doesn't bode well for someone's principles.

gremlin-mode

not a dude but that's true, obama ordered drone strikes on way more civilians than liz cheney has 

gremlin-mode

good point, maybe we can try the same thing twice and it'll work out differently this time 

gremlin-mode

it's "pragmatic" to identify what led to trump so we can make changes to avoid trump v2 in the future

gremlin-mode

are you saying those moderates won't "vote blue no matter who"? that was the prevailing message during the last presidential election 

gremlin-mode

The time to talk like that is after the election.

lol not this again 🙄 obama directly created the environment that led to trump, we can and should warn against repeating that 

gremlin-mode

god how disappointing would it be if El-Sayed ended up as another Obama? I do not like the way that he's courting these moderates, we've seen time and time again that they're opponents to actual progress. 

gremlin-mode

this doesn't shock me, especially after the appearance of the "do you condemn the irgc" idiot 

gremlin-mode

it's a lot easier for you to say "both sides are bad" when you live in the country that is currently murdering people abroad for your benefit

gremlin-mode

so you're siding with the aggressor nation that's run by a pedophile president and has been providing resources and support for a genocide? there are two sides to this "war" (if you can even call it that), hiding behind your meek "both sides are bad" doesn't change the fact.
