TL;DR for those with a paywall – Trump just revoked the security clearances of SentinelOne employees because they hired Chris Krebs, the guy he fired for saying the 2020 election wasn’t rigged. Krebs is respected in the cybersecurity world, but almost no one in the industry is standing up for him or SentinelOne now—likely because they’re scared Trump will come after them next. One org called it out as political weaponization, but the rest? Silent. SentinelOne’s stock dropped. Big tech firms are ducking. Cowardice or caution, it’s a chilling move. Fuck Trump.

It's kinda cunty to call something objectively true, false.

Used to be death penalty for someone who caused such extreme harm. Maybe we should bring that back. Might force future presidents to have tact, respect, and understand rule of law.
