“During Wednesday’s meeting for Trump’s cabinet, Mike Waltz checked the app on his phone, using what appeared to be Signal. As news broke that Waltz had lost his job as National Security Advisor, images from the cabinet meeting circulated widely online on Thursday. Upon closer inspection of the photos, it turned out that Waltz was not using the traditional Signal app. He appeared to be using an archiving app made by Israeli firm TeleMessage, which sells companion apps meant to enable archiving messages.”

    Imagine if it were a russian app. Libs would be losing their minds.

    Great example of how liberalism supports fascism.

      they are losing their minds. granted not enough energy is being put toward doing anything. but that’s what libs do. they hand wring and ask politely because that’s what you do in a framework of rules and norms. we need to convert some libs to that their strategy doesn’t work into actual resistance
