I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

I know there's almost not even any point anymore to trying to convince people not to keep doing free labour for Elon Musk, but I will never stop being astonished that so so so so so many people (particularly lefties) just cannot convince themselves to even slightly stop helping the guy
Musk has adjusted Grok’s algorithm so it’s now a neo-Nazi.
Pretty cool that almost every progressive commentator, elected official and organization still uses Musk’s X algorithm to communicate with the public! Good job guys.

The regime has posted signs at Manzanar, the WWII concentration camp for Japanese Americans, asking visitors to report "negative" historical interpretations. Hard to imagine a positive interpretation but it's probably just an excuse to shut down the park.

So many alarm bells being rung in the Baltics and still people in Western Europe confidently proclaim that Russia wouldn't ever expand its war (the same war they said wouldn't happen in the first place)
The Baltic countries signed a deal today pledging to jointly plan for mass evacuations as the specter of bellicose Russian President Vladimir Putin looms over the region.
Baltic countries team up on mass evacuation plans as Russian threat grows
