  5. Who had "getting compromised through plugging an LG monitor in" on their #itsecurity 2026 bingo card? Apparently just plugging an LG monitor into a windows computer is enough for them to install spyware and steal all of your data. But hey you agree to this in their ToS (even without having to click on "I agree", it just installs).

  13. The Nigerian Police Force: A Colonial Machine That Never Changed by Lawson Akhigbe

    To understand the modern Nigerian Police Force, one must first understand its origins. The uncomfortable truth is that the institution was never created to protect ordinary Nigerians. It was established to protect the interests of those who ruled Nigeria, first the British colonial administration and later the Nigerian political elite that inherited the colonial state.

  15. Federal prosecutors are under fire after critics accuse them of smearing man killed by #ICE in Houston - Trump’s gestapo is backed up by his team of federal prosecutors, who are actively interfering by slandering victims.

To review, #Trump has stacked #SCOTUS with conservative lackeys, he’s fired career federal prosecutors and replaced them with right-wing loyalists; and through crazy Kash Patel, he’s molding the #FBI into his private revenge investigators. Make no mistake, he’s remaking the federal government to accommodate his vision of a #fascist autocracy. cnn.com/2026/07/19/us/houston- #legal #immigration #TrumpRegime #Republicans
