Yes of course, on a personal level.
On a population threat level, this is an increase in disease, IS an increase in threat. People, children WILL GET SICK.

The #threat by #JDVance to walk away from peace talks were similar to comments last wk from Secy of #State #MarcoRubio & from #Trump, who said…if the 2 sides don’t agree quickly to a deal, “we’re just going to say, ‘You’re foolish, you’re fools, you’re horrible people, & we’re going to just take a pass.’”
Wed, Vance said under the US proposal, “We’re going to freeze the territorial lines at some level close to where they are today.” [not his call]
…Sen #DickDurbin, who is in his fifth #Senate term, said it was not an easy choice to step away from his prime perch doing battle with #Trump, whom he considers a dire #threat to #democracy. He described moments in recent days “where I thought, ‘Man, I don’t want to miss this fight.’”
“But you know,” he continued, “I have to be honest about this. There are good people in the wings, good people on the bench ready to serve, & they can fight this fight just as effectively as I can.…”
Thank you to @Nonikex. This thread is the most detailed and alarming account of #covert #infosec breaches perpetrated by #DOGE “engineers” (#hackers) that I have read. We are very fortunate that a brave internal #Whistleblower at #NLRB made the report public even after he received personal threats. It reminds me of the movie “Enemy of the Stats” (1998) starring Will Smith. In both that fictional case and the current DOGE #intelligence #threat, the technological power of nation states is used, under #ColorOfLaw, to coverup criminal behavior. There are also alarming indications of #Russia participating in stealing or receiving data that was covertly exfiltrated from the agency. We are watching the greatest #intelligence operation against the US as it is happening. https://masto.ai/@Nonilex/114342396149660044
"We've seen Russian threat actors do things like this on US government systems," said one #threat #intelligence researcher…. That analyst, who has extensive experience hunting nation - #StateSponsored #hackers, reviewed the #whistleblower's technical claims.
"The difference is, they [DOGE] were given the keys to the front door," the researcher continued.

“I think #accelerationism is the most dangerous and overlooked threat facing us today. […] [I]t has never had such a widespread following in the white #supremacist community. […] What they do believe is #society will eventually #collapse, either on its own or from a man-made event, and their goal is to speed that up by sowing #chaos and #political tensions. To accelerate it.”
The #Trump admin’s move this month to cut off hundreds of millions of dollars in support to #Columbia — which draws roughly a fifth of its operating revenues from Washington — represented a dire #threat to the university. The govt told Columbia it would consider restarting those grants & contracts only if the university agreed to a list of demands.
Last week, it fell to Dr. Armstrong to announce that Columbia had done so.
Unsurprisingly
#LawFirms refuse to represent #Trump opponents in the wake of his attacks
Trump issued yet another #ExecutiveOrder Tuesday sanctioning yet another #law firm, Jenner & Block. The result overall has been called an extraordinary #threat to #constitutional rights of #DueProcess & #legal representation & a far weaker effort to challenge Trump’s actions in court than during his first term.

"JOHNSON leveled a new #threat at the judiciary:ELIMINATING SPECIFIC COURTS.
"We do have authority over the fed courts -we can, we can eliminate an entire dist court.
"We have power, funding over the courts & all these other things. But desperate times call for desperate measures."
-J Sherman
Dershowitz argued Congress had another path: Article III only calls for a SC. Dist & Appeals courts are creations of Congress -not co-equal branches of govt.

#Trump saying things to #Greenland that are very similar to the things #Putin said to Eastern #Ukraine before leveling it all with #missiles and #artillery.
In the interview, #Trump described the letter as saying, “I hope you’re going to negotiate because it’s going to be a lot better for #Iran.”
“If we have to go in militarily, it’s going to be a terrible thing for them,” he said, adding: “The other alternative is we have to do something because you can’t let them have a #NuclearWeapon.”
“There are two ways #Iran can be handled: militarily, or you make a deal,” #Trump told Maria Bartiromo in an interview aired Fri on Fox Business. “I would prefer to make a deal, because I’m not looking to hurt Iran. They’re great people.”
The move is a reversal for Trump, who in 2018 withdrew the #US from a #nuclear deal w/Iran, unraveling the signature #ForeignPolicy achievement of President Barack #Obama.
On a more optimistic note, many Western #allies see the #threat and are countering it. In January, the Joint Expeditionary Force launched an artificial intelligence-based reaction system for monitoring the threats that the shadow fleet poses for #underwatercables.

…the chaotic recent weeks inside the #FBI have raised concerns among current & former agents that distractions could cause a #terror plot or other #threat to go undetected.
Some agents say that there’s trepidation about pursuing cases related to Russian #counterintelligence or #criminal matters related to #Russia, in part because of fear that their work could be seen to clash w/the [#Trump] White House….
