i think it is worth noting that one of the first actual elected democrats to prominently call for underbussing trans people, seth moulton, just got crushed in his primary 65-35
i also want to stress the distance between labour & the democrats, the two parties are not the same (& it's very important that the dems do not go down that path)

For all of you who have been leaking details of the furries to Senator Tuberville, stand up and be shamed.
Tommy Tuberville: Many airline pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers are part of the furry community. It's terrifying.

In an Uber. Driver having loud phone conversation with someone in Spanish. A little annoying, but it happens. He hangs up. Says, “Mi hermano. La Migra.” And starts weeping.

It's finding so many issues 😅
One of them is an unsafe deserialization in a user-controlled message queue that allows an attacker to write arbitrary records to the database, so I think I'm going to treat this experiment as a success.

Now that I'm back from the woods, I'm trying Jev with my datalog engine to tag identifiers with whether they correspond to sensitive data (PII, secrets, etc), to use as part of taint tracing, and it's really promising so far.
This is the part of static analysis that always needed a human before
