I’m not so sure. I’d take a sock full of quarters over a sock with a 3.5" spinning disc hard drive in it any day of the week.

This is an article about an article. The original Atlantic article that contains the messages themselves is here

Please don’t spread FUD. That memo does NOT claim Signal has been compromised by Russia.

The actual claim is that Russia has used deceptive e-mail style tactics to trick people into authorizing a malicious “linked devices” request. This is a social engineering vulnerability, not a technical one.

Unsecure ≠ Insecure

Unsecure in this context generally means not in compliance with military and classified security practices and procedures for “securing” information.

Signal is secure in the sense of being strong end-to-end cryptography.

Israel’s record on that one is going to be tough to beat.

Badge of pride.

Not as many problems as traveling without one.

Having traveled before with someone in that exact situation, yes, there will be harassment and TSA may very well intentionally force you miss your flight and end up waiting to fly standby on the next one. But as of now, you generally do get through, which cannot be said for traveling internationally without any passport at all.

Will that change? Highly likely. Soon? Probably.

But there are a not insignificant number of people who only recently decided it’s no longer safe, applied for passports, made plans to leave, and saw recent stories about passports not being issued. This type of scare mongering does not help them, and can be actively harmful to their mental health and well-being.

Edit: Obviously the longer they stay, the higher the chance this changes.

After hearing she was still issued a passport at all? Yes, actually. There are quite a few (trans) people who probably feel a little bit safer than they did yesterday when they thought they were trapped in the country.

The only good cops. Now if we can just convince the rest to follow their example …

If he orders it, they’ll go. They can’t afford not to. It’s an economic draft, and the poor are about to get even poorer.

Pardons would only help with criminal contempt charges. In this case, the judge would probably be applying civil contempt to compel compliance with the court order. Since they wouldn’t be held on a criminal charge, pardoning the crime wouldn’t get them released.

No argument here. It’s illegal. But how could anyone be paying attention expect that to stop him?

I’m having trouble with the second half of this headline. Who honestly expected an orderly and extended withdrawal from this guy?
