Bloodied Faces, Sobbing Children: #Immigration Officers Smash Car Windows to Speed Up Arrests
==
We’ve documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before #Trump took office.

#ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.”

You can judge for yourself.

Thanks to Russian murderers: Sofiia, Mykyta, and their 2-year-old son—all just 23 years old—were killed by a Russian strike on Kyiv on July 31. They had fled Sloviansk at the start of the full-scale war, rented an apartment in the capital, and were killed when a Russian missile hit their building. Their bodies were found under the rubble a day later. Sofiia was pregnant with their second child.

Fedora Considers Reducing The Scope That BIOS Systems Can Hold Up A Release

Given that non-UEFI BIOS systems are quite old at this point and Intel/AMD systems for the past number of years have all supported UEFI, another change proposal being considered this week by Fedoa Linux is limiting the release-blocking status of various (non-UEFI) BIOS systems...

We are making a typeface, and there is one glyph that cannot be missing.

Trump’s tax law by the numbers: $1 trillion less for Medicaid, $75 billion more for ICE https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld/report/070825_tax_bill_numbers/trumps-tax-law-by-numbers-1-trillion-less-medicaid-75-billion-more-ice/
President Trump's sweeping tax-and-spending law, which renews tax breaks that largely benefited corporations and the wealthy, also contains sharp increases in spending on immigration enforcement and steep cuts to government programs that serve lower-income Americans.

Unveiled at #TROOPERS25 - Hexagon fuzzing unlocked

Hexagon is the architecture in Qualcomm basebands - they power most of the world's leading smartphones.

Until now, this baseband was out of reach.

We released the first open-source toolchain for system-mode Hexagon fuzzing, presented by Luca Glockow (@luglo), Rachna Shriwas, and Bruno Produit (@bruno) at @WEareTROOPERS

Full post: https://www.srlabs.de/blog-post/hexagon-fuzz-full-system-emulated-fuzzing-of-qualcomm-basebands

How we opened up mobile firmware in 3 steps:
1. Boot real iPhone basebands with a custom QEMU fork
2. Rust-powered fuzzer controls execution via JSON configs
3. Ghidra integration maps coverage across threads

This brings full visibility to Qualcomm’s 4G/5G/GPS stacks.

Reproducible. Extendable. Open source.

Hexagon’s no longer off-limits - mobile security just got a lot more transparent.
