auto safety regulation in this country is so fundamentally broken that NHTSA is still investigating whether or not Tesla's remedy for that recall which emerged from its shocking string of emergency vehicle crashes was effective... which this latest crash seems to suggest it probably isn't!

The details are currently sparse, but reporting suggests they've agreed to define trans people out of existence and ban trans students from facilities.

He supported America’s war, escaped Afghanistan and started a family in the U.S.
Then ICE arrested him.
