One reaction we had here, when discussing Jeffrey Goldberg’s Atlantic account of the Signal chat national security breach was, “What if he hadn’t dropped out of the chat?” What else might he have learned if he stayed on a bit longer?
This, I think, will be a topic for journalism ethics classes for years to come: to stay on the chat, wait to drop the story, or do what he did and bring the story out now?

“There is not an officer alive whose career would survive a security breach like that. It would normally result in instant consequences (relief from command, for example) followed by a comprehensive investigation and, potentially, criminal charges. “

Good point. We n ed to be precise. Changing our position on the world stage, aligning with Russia, against NATO, breaking treaties, threatening to invade allies, leaving so many classified documents in his MaraLago bathroom that it pretty much qualifies as a document dead drop for Russia, all that is potentially treasonous.
The rest of it, including shaking down nations and oligarchs like a wannabe mob boss, is just merely craven and criminal on a Dr Evil scale.

Anand Giridharadas says we have to find ways to make our activism and beliefs visible in the physical world. He calls it "social proof."

They overran EIGHT Israeli military bases. I had previously heard just one, and even that shocked me.

@npub1sat…8vnx During Hurricane Sandy in Brooklyn, I had windows open thru most of it, while the other side of the building was getting blasted (a rebuilt armory). Even during big explosion in Manhattan. Then the eye came over, wind reversed, and I had to quickly close windows, and, stupidly, slammed my thumb in one! Owie!
