I understand less than 10% of this video. But it looks like the kind of thing that some people might find useful or essential. But, like any technology, it doesn't care who's using it.

The Trump administration, DHS and DOJ are learning organisms. Just as Minneapolis is teaching the rest of America how to resist, the federal government is learning how to overcome the resistance.
What would it take for Signal to be declared a threat to national security? A secure communications platform for "domestic terrorists." I think Apple could delete the app from every Apple device. I'm not so sure about Google and Android. Folks who depend on Signal to organize and communicate should probably think about alternative means of communication.
GMRS radios aren't "secure," but unless you're licensed and transmitting your callsign, there's no real way to identify who is transmitting. It's more anonymous than your phone. Short range, but if enough people have them, and are organized in a network, they can communicate. The trick would be to develop a means to obfuscate the content of messages. The idea isn't to keep the content "secure" in perpetuity, just long enough to be tactically useful. Give people time enough for warning.
We've built a communications infrastructure that ensures you have no privacy. Remember when Eric Schmidt told us to "Get over it?"
Good times.

Personal trainer is dealing with a sick toddler, so apparently we're going to go train by ourselves... later.
Anywho, just finished reading this account of the intelligence leading up to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Fascinating stuff.
Nobody likes connecting dots. Here's a little quote from the end of the piece:
Huw Dylan, a historian of intelligence at King’s College London, said there was a long history of intelligence analysts being unwilling to predict that future events will create a dramatic break with the past.
"A dramatic break with the past."
Figure it out, people.
Tick-tock.

Wrote a post yesterday. Didn't export or upload the post.
Sheesh.
Feeling discombobulated here.
In other news, it's snowing.
Headed to the gym. More later.
Maybe.
