For the past few weeks, @DomainTools Investigations worked with OSINT analyst and investigative journalist grantees to help uncover connections between websites involved in the harassment of Ukrainian personnel and their families, and the people and infrastructure involved.

We provide a technical writeup below on the observables and data involved.

I see so much disinformation being spread around about privacy-focused technologies and products.

This is incredibly detrimental to people seeking to improve their data privacy.

Please make sure to verify your sources before spreading information, and remain skeptical of anyone without supporting expertise or evidence.

The result of this negligent or malicious disinformation is keeping people on horribly invasive platforms, for fear of making the wrong move.

Please think carefully before sharing information that might be inaccurate, false, or misleading.

We all need to work together to help people improve their privacy online.
Thank you 💚🔒

The #SSA sent an email claiming Trump’s bill eliminated taxes on benefits for most recipients.

The reconciliation bill–which #Trump called the #OneBigBeautifulBill before signing it after #Republicans in #Congress passed it–will strip people of their #HealthInsurance, cut #FoodAssistance for the #poor, kill off #CleanEnergy development & raise the #NationalDebt by trillions.

“'They said, "We’re going to shoot them. Is one o’clock OK?" I said it’s fine,' Trump said. 'And everybody was emptied off the base so they couldn’t get hurt, except for the gunners.'”

"When political scientist Seth Masket shared this story on Bluesky yesterday, I couldn’t believe it was real. The right-wing Washington Times reported that at a press conference at the NATO Summit in the Netherlands on Wednesday, Trump revealed that he had given Iran permission to bomb the U.S.’s Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar in retaliation for the American bombing of their nuclear sites."

"Yes, I wish this had been the case in 2002, and in 1964, for all that, but, finally, thank God, a president has launched a unilateral war of choice and his popularity has not risen. In fact, it’s tanking as thoroughly as the rest of his numbers have."

Noting that Trump's bombing spectacle was a spectacular failure and his approval rating is tanking, Paul Krugman says,

"In 2002 and 2003 I was one of the few people writing for a major media organization willing to say that we were being lied into war in Iraq, which was obvious to anyone willing to face the facts. Management was not happy, but to their credit allowed me to keep writing."

"Maybe the only good thing to come out of this was that the American people, by a large majority, saw these strikes for the self glorifying gestures that they were, and disapprove."

"If this is the end of presidents making war in places because their policies are unpopular at home, if this emboldens a timid Congress to take back at least some of its war powers back, then it may be best development of all to come out of this Iran mess."

"'I don’t want to use an example of Hiroshima, I don’t want to use an example of Nagasaki, but that was essentially the same thing that ended that war. This ended that, this ended that war. If we didn’t take that out, they would have been they’d be fighting right now.'”

Insane, delusional, self-aggrandizing fantasy much?
