A letter to Lt. Colonel Alexander Vindman:

Right does not matter to Donald Trump. But it matters to you. It matters to this country and to its people. It will always matter.

And with those words, you have left an indelible mark on our nation’s conscience and history.

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

If reporting about Russian bounties on US forces is true, the White House must explain:
1. Why weren’t the president or vice president briefed? Was the info in the PDB?
2. Who did know and when?
3. What has been done in response to protect our forces & hold Putin accountable?

Facebook has taken heat for long delays in sharing data on disinformation https://t.co/xOwFwBNZXV

Finally, today, Facebook has made much of that data available, in partnership with Social Science One: 38 million annotated URLs and demographics of users who interacted with them.

Photo of the fucking year that

[Renee DiResta @noUpside]

This is revisionist history. The increase in popularity around the term, and the post-election conversation people began to have, was due to a sudden realization that constant flows of viral bullshit may have had *an impact*.

[thaddeus e. grugq @thegrugq]

Holy shit!? Is this true?! Why didn’t someone notice in 2016 and write a series of blog posts about this and tell everyone they could that this was happening??

Dammit grugq, you shoulda been all over this!

Watching @JoeSlowik talk about boosting kinetic and cyber attacks with cognitive ones at #cyberwarcon. Good to see this becoming mainstream and visible - I guess? #disinformation #misinfosec

I'll be testifying at today's big House Homeland Security hearing on Defending Against Election Interference (2pm, Cannon 310) https://t.co/zm0Kf2w9GG

If you can't get in, I hear there's some obscure impeachment stuff going on today, too. That will probably be pretty empty.

[cogsectech @cogsectech]

Critically important work for our field.

@ArielRobinson1 @EmpressNorton @alexstamos I was just pointing out in private that discrimination against women is probably the biggest HUMINT security threat in IT. If I were recruiting I know exactly where I’d start.

[thaddeus e. grugq @thegrugq]

I know I’ve talked about this before and so has @alexstamos

Blended threats are the future, because no matter how good your cloud security is, at some point a grumpy SRE who feels jilted over some work BS is gonna enjoy pulling one over on those C suite assholes, for $20k cash
