The NSF has stopped funding research into disinformation, a disinformation researcher highlighted why this is such a bad idea:
“We know false information is out there, we know it spreads widely, and it’s important for people’s health and for democracy to understand what we can do about it.”

In a shocking turn of events, many of the people who said they wanted "free speech" actually just wanted to be the ones in charge of which speech is free.
UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

One thing that the general public is not that aware of re: Tesla is that *they do not manufacture their own battery cells*
They lease space in their factories for third-parties such as Panasonic.
A lot of people invested in Tesla because they thought Tesla was vertically integrated re: the cells.

Immigration is good, actually.
There are no qualifications on this statement other than "don't be a comemierda" and that goes no matter what.
"Legal" and "illegal" are artificial categories imposed by States with arbitrary rules, usually with suboptimal outcomes.
