After landing at Newark airport, Norwegian tourist Mads Mikkelsen says he was detained and denied entry to the U.S. because immigration officials found on his phone a photo depicting JD Vance as a bald baby.

Thirty five years ago, I joined an expedition to Lenin Peak, a 23,406-foot (7,134-meter) mountain in the Soviet Union. By a fluke, I narrowly escaped the deadliest mountain climbing accident in history. Here's the story of what happened. Read it. Share it. Thanks.

Closely inspecting the list of tariffs/countries posted by the White House, Trump did not put tariffs on Russia. Ukraine's tariff is 10%, the EU's is 20%, and every American ally is on the list. But not Russia.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

The government treating Teslas on fire as a big dramatic deal and what's weird about this is. They only care about Tesla fires when there are *NOT* people in the car. If a Tesla catches on fire while people are driving it that is apparently normal and the government sees nothing there to investigate

(1/X) The media spent ten years ignoring Trump's obvious personality disorder. We were told "he's a pragmatist, a businessman".

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.
