What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

“The Trump administration opened the door on Monday to formally examining Zohran Mamdani’s US citizenship — part of a growing effort to target the immigration status of a wide range of individuals.” — www.semafor.com/article/06/3...

It seems Tesla is detecting vehicles that may have problems, and artificially running their odometers faster so the warranty expires before they have to do any service Just incredible grift

NYMAG: A Warner Bros. rep “recently reached out to the Trump orbit seeking advice about how the company might advantageously interact with the White House.. The reported message was .. Don Jr. might like a hunting and fishing show on the Discovery Channel ..” @nymag.com nymag.com/intelligence...

Following up on this. They just banned a Canadian trans musician from getting a visa to tour the US. They're straight up banning trans people from entering the US. www.stereogum.com/2303977/bell...

If you are actively culling your library to keep books like "The Bell Curve" while removing criticisms of the book, you are building a white supremacist library.

Keep in mind: the NEH’s budget is 0.01% of the entire federal budget. This is not about savings - it is about the destruction of the Humanities and the critical thinking abilities that they teach. 🗃️

Musk's public statements, and the winners of his (likely rigged) lottery both emphasize the exchange of money for voting. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-bigges...

The sheer volume of time and energy being spent by thousands of university-based researchers in *every* field right now to figure out if their funding will exist next month or next year, if their careers can even continue… just citing dollar values doesn’t do it justice, it is full-scale upheaval.

Attorney General Pam Bondi says Justice Department is seeking a *20 year* prison sentence for 24 year old Colorado man accused of vandalizing a Tesla dealership

This is a particularly extreme "I never thought the leopards would eat MY face" moment

"In Gaza, human shields are used by Israeli soldiers at least six times a day...Today, almost every platoon keeps a "shawish," and no infantry force enters a house before a "shawish" clears it. This means there are four "shawishes" in a company, twelve in a battalion, at least 36 in a brigade. 1/4

NYU canceled a planned speech by the former president of Doctors Without Borders because she planned to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and cuts to US AID. This is what actual campus censorship looks like.

No criminal record, no gang ties, no tattoos, applied for asylum, father of a 9-year-old, government's case full of errors, sent to mega-prison anyway amp.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

My 2 yr old broke his femur last weekend and spent the night in the hospital waiting for a special cast to be put on (the procedure required anesthesia). The pain was so bad they gave him morphine. Just got a letter from Anthem BC/BS letting me know the hospital stay wasn't "medically necessary"

Migrants found dead at Krome Detention Center in Miami, due to possible starvation and dehydration. The facility, which was a detention facility prior to it being converted for ICE use, has a max capacity of 500.

Ladies and gentlemen, the most American fucking video ever. Sound on.

“My job is to keep the left pro-Israel.” - Schumer to Bret Stephens. Is that really his job?

This ridiculous deflection is such a non sequitur. Due process is what distinguishes us as a people from the monsters who do commit heinous crimes. If there’s no due process, we’re a society that can just lynch people on an accusation, with no need to get it right.

This crosses a fucking red line

I’ve seen people say that Cuomo may be flawed but he’s a “fighter,” which NYC needs against Trump and co. But he won’t fight against Trump! He’ll fight *with* him against the same targets. They’ll work it out so that Cuomo cooperates on Trump’s big issues and Trump praises Cuomo up and down.

It’d be a real shame. A gosh darn wiggly giggly shame if people flooded the Tesla Integrity line and wasted Tesla’s resources. (800) 461-9330

Holy shit, the Dems lost Will Stancil.

Texas is probably going to pass school vouchers this session. They're also a giant scam to give rich people an extra $10,000 a year. I break down the numbers: thebarbedwire.com/2025/03/13/t...

wait, you’re telling me that by objecting to unanimous consent, a single senator can grind the body to a halt?

The military is plans to scrub photos of the Enola Gay, one of the bombers that dropped an atomic bomb on Japan, from its website as part of its purge of diversity content. It's among more than 26,000 images that the Pentagon plans to delete. apnews.com/article/dei-...

If one guy holds most of the tech people rely on, it is a vulnerability, but also it's one guy: as a global population we should be able to easily just take it from him, so it seems to me the real vulnerability is an internalized belief that private ownership is more sacrosanct than human thriving.

“The Maryland National Guard must decline events which celebrates individuals based all or in part on immutable characteristics,” the memo said. Douglass was an abolitionist, suffragist, orator and author. That’s what we celebrate him. Let’s be clear: This bars celebrating him because he was Black.

Protecting women's sports by letting universities squirrel out of revenue sharing for female outlets. You fucking rubes got used. I was right all along.

And after this ruling, DOGE cancelled nearly 1 billion in grants and contracts at the Department of Education

Basically, Eric Adams got the quid-pro-quo offer made to Zelensky and was like

If Trump starts pardoning people in real time to nullify judicial checks and balances on executive power, perhaps bar associations should start by revoking his attorneys' licenses to practice law.

Framing cutting CFPB as a taxpayer benefit just so corporations can get back to freely ripping people off. Meanwhile, $19.7 billion in consumer relief.

This is so incredibly corrupt. Adams sold out NYC for ICE enforcement in exchange for his criminal charges being dropped.

Jim Tressel was forced to resign after lying to his bosses about the scope of a scandal that involved the Department of Justice and a drug trafficking investigation, earning a five-year show-cause. He has subsequently gone on to an escalating series of jobs for which he was completely unqualified.

If having Triple Canopy/Academi/Xe/Blackwater, or whatever Erik Prince names them next week, working for Elon doesn’t scare you, it really should. He’s brought in a private military to keep our elected representatives and the American people out of our own federal buildings.

Fuck yeah let’s do it again!! Centrism 4-EVER
