Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Alternative headline: Antifa continues unmasking neo-Nazis.

I was thinking of the Mitch Hedberg overused paraphrase about "used to, still do, but used to as well"

Once upon a time, prior to the Anonymous name being co-opted by russian trolls and alt-right nonsense, it was a group that, amongst other things, would infiltrate Stormfront (a white supremacist website) and find these neo-nazis admitting to violations of federal weapons laws in order to tip off ATF or sending their info to their employers/clients/schools.

The name and community has been taken over by neo-nazis and the agents that influence them, but the original people (who were not caught up in the FBI raids during Occupy Wall Street) are still out there.

So they say

One of the earliest operations undertaken by Anonymous was anti-zionist, too

What happened with the big hack of the ice database with officer identities and then there was a "Russian" DDoS attack that stopped people from downloading it. Did they succeed in shutting that down I guess?

You mean this?

Not sure if it's the "hack" you are talking about. But around that time this site was being ddosd

The site is up: https://icelist.is/

But, it doesn’t have the leaked data on it. I don’t know why he is sitting on it.

I have a scrape of the site from before it was blocked.

[–] itistime@infosec.pub 2 points 1 month ago

The 4500 contacts were on the site before it was attacked, but is now only outdated info gathered from sources like linkedin? If so, I would love a copy.

[–] TheOneAndOnly@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I was wondering that myself. Very disappointing if that's the case, and not that it was just a bullshit Internet rumor...

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 11 points 1 month ago

Thank you Antifa.
