  2. Russia is giving masterclass in #election #interference ahead of Hungary vote

    When #Hungarians vote today, they will be #voting in environment poisoned by probably largest documented campaign of foreign #ElectionInterference in #EU history

    Central paradox of this campaign is not Russia is interfering — that has long become the norm. It is that #Russia is doing so while wearing a #Ukrainian #disguise.

  7. 🎩✨ #ICE found a way to sneak #deportation flights past us by using the ol' #celebrity #disguise trick. Because nothing screams "stealth operation" like pretending you're Kanye's private jet. 😎✈️

  9. [Thread] State by State Pending and Recently Passed #AntiProtestLaws: #Arizona

    HB 2880: #Banning #protest encampments on campus

    Would bar protest encampments on the campuses of state colleges and universities without prior authorization. Under the bill, individuals or groups that establish an unauthorized “encampment” would no longer be lawfully present on campus for the purpose of speech protections under Arizona law; they would be criminally liable to prosecution for trespass and damaging public property; and they would be liable for “direct and indirect costs” of any damage “that resulted from the individual’s intentional or negligent conduct relating” to the encampment. The bill defines “#encampment” as “temporary shelter” installed on campus and used to stay overnight or “for a prolonged period of time.” The bill would require colleges and universities to order individuals to dismantle and vacate unauthorized encampments; if the individuals refuse to comply, the institution would be required to take disciplinary action and report the individuals to local law enforcement for trespassing. The bill's sponsor said that it was motivated by #ProPalestine protests on college campuses.

    Status: ENACTED!

    Introduced 12 Feb 2025; Approved by House 3 March 2025

    Issue(s): Campus Protests, #Trespass, Camping

    HB 2007: Harsh penalties for protesters who conceal their identity

    **Note: HB 2007 was signed into law following amendments that removed the most restrictive provisions.** As originally introduced in the House, the bill made it a felony to wear any kind of #disguise at a protest. The introduced bill broadly prohibited disguises, "whether partial or complete," that an individual wore at a protest, political event, or any other public event in order "to evade or escape discovery, recognition or identification." Under the introduced bill, police would have had authority to detain any individual wearing a disguise in order to verify his or her identity and determine if the person had committed a crime; violation of the disguise ban would have been a Class 6 felony, subject to one year in prison. The sponsor of the bill said it was inspired by clashes between police and protesters, some of whom were masked, outside a 2017 rally for President #Trump. Following widespread criticism, the bill was comprehensively revised to a single provision that would allow courts to consider it an aggravating factor, for sentencing purposes, if an individual wore a #mask or other disguise to hide their face while committing a criminal offense.

    Status: enacted with improvements

    Introduced 21 Nov 2017; Governor Ducey signed it 23 March 2018 but the most problematic provisions were defeated.

  10. A quotation from The Bible

    Be on your guard against false prophets; they come to you looking like sheep on the outside, but on the inside they are really like wild wolves. You will know them by what they do. Thorn bushes do not bear grapes, and briers do not bear figs. A healthy tree bears good fruit, but a poor tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a poor tree cannot bear good fruit. And any tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown in the fire. So then, you will know the false prophets by what they do.
     
    [Προσέχετε ἀπὸ τῶν ψευδοπροφητῶν, οἵτινες ἔρχονται πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐν ἐνδύμασιν προβάτων, ἔσωθεν δέ εἰσιν λύκοι ἅρπαγες. ἀπὸ τῶν καρπῶν αὐτῶν ἐπιγνώσεσθε αὐτούς. μήτι συλλέγουσιν ἀπὸ ἀκανθῶν σταφυλὰς ἢ ἀπὸ τριβόλων σῦκα; οὕτως πᾶν δένδρον ἀγαθὸν καρποὺς καλοὺς ποιεῖ, τὸ δὲ σαπρὸν δένδρον καρποὺς πονηροὺς ποιεῖ. οὐ δύναται δένδρον ἀγαθὸν καρποὺς πονηροὺς ποιεῖν οὐδὲ δένδρον σαπρὸν καρποὺς καλοὺς ποιεῖν. πᾶν δένδρον μὴ ποιοῦν καρπὸν καλὸν ἐκκόπτεται καὶ εἰς πῦρ βάλλεται. ἄρα γε ἀπὸ τῶν καρπῶν αὐτῶν ἐπιγνώσεσθε αὐτούς.]

  11. CW: USpol, Scifi

    I read recently that the owner of X (fka Twitter) changed his "handle" there to Kekius Maximus. Is that correct? Cute, if it is, but I think it's just a ruse to disguise his real secret identity - Cylon Musk.

    Too bad, Cylon, the truth will out. Oh wait, we don't do truth anymore, do we?

  14. On this day in 1951, the CIA began an operation that would forever change the course of the Cold War. We call it the "Potato Project."

    The goal of the project was to help our agents on the ground in Soviet bloc countries evade detection by their adversaries. The solution? Idaho potatoes.

    Our scientists discovered that the unique electromagnetic properties of the potato made it an ideal material for creating sophisticated electronic devices that could be easily hidden. By cutting the potato in half and hollowing it out, we were able to create a container for a small transistor radio, which could then be disguised as an innocuous potato. Moreover, the potato's acidic juices were used as an electrolyte, generating enough electricity to power the radios, thus making them self-powered.

    This simple, yet ingenious, invention allowed our agents to communicate with one another without fear of being detected by Soviet intelligence. They could be disguised as farmers and blend in with the local population, all while secretly transmitting important information back to us.

    The Potato Project was a remarkable success, and it played a critical role in helping us gather intelligence during the Cold War. We are forever grateful to the humble Idaho potato for its contributions to our nation's security.

    As we reflect on this groundbreaking operation, we are reminded that sometimes the most unlikely things can have the biggest impact. Who knows what other unexpected resources we may discover in the future to help us protect our nation and its interests?

  15. Happy 7th of #DecemBird!

    It's telling how we subjugate the timid species rather than the aggressive ones. This might be an interesting tactic to try: pop in to a farm and dress all the birds up like eagles or vultures!

    We're posting every day this month on the theme of "DecemBird"; i.e. all things bird related (but mostly not chickens; that's for #eggpril).
