“South Park” has managed to offend nearly every political group, pop-culture fandom, and religious denomination. Now it’s managed to piss off Donald Trump like never before.

This is horrific: The Trump administration wants to send a Harvard scientist back to Russia--and hence most likely to a gulag for criticizing Putin's war against Ukraine--for failing to declare samples of frog embryos that she was carrying from France to Harvard.
The Trump administration intends to deport a Harvard scientist back to Russia, government lawyers told a federal judge on Wednesday. The scientist fled the country in 2022 and fears she will be arrested there over her protest of Russia’s war in Ukraine.
