Workers who track data on car crashes, drownings, traumatic brain injury, falls in the elderly, and other perils lost their jobs. Advocates worry life-saving work will stop.

It is difficult for me to convey how profoundly unsurprised I was reading this article, which is about the world's richest and most famous entrepreneur threatening to deport his employees for pointing out a potentially fatal safety issue with his car company's brakes futurism.com/tesla-engine...

Cambodia’s government previously decreed that working for Radio Free Asia is tantamount to espionage. Some RFA journalists now face being forcibly deported to Cambodia from the US. https://kiripost.com/stories/rfa-journalists-on-us-work-visa-face-deportation-amid-funding-crisis

As a person who has studied history, an autism registry is a five alarm fire.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

This

Angel of the Lord: He is not here, He is risen, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead. Alito: Okay, first of all, this violates ALL sorts of rules Thomas: This was a LAWFUL execution, who is God to interfere

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

The President of the United States fears only those who do not fear him.

Other Countries & Harvard fought Trump's absurd & confused demands, and Trump blinked. Big Law & Columbia complied with Trump's absurd & confused demands, and Trump kept pushing for more. Seems like there is a lesson about how to deal with corrupt & incompetent & insane bullies?

NEW: DOGE is knitting DHS immigration records together with IRS, Social Security, and voting records into a master database, sources tell WIRED. Experts say it could be used for a surveillance tool of unprecedented scope. This is by @makenakelly.bsky.social and @telliotter.bsky.social

What nobody seems to be asking is, even if the deportees were given due process and were adjudged deportable, what gives the government the right to send them to a CONCENTRATION CAMP?????

FYI, the Miranda Rights that protect you when arrested by the police are named after a guy whose first criminal conviction was in 8th Grade. He was accused of kidnapping, rape, and robbery and forced to confess. By all accounts, he WAS a bad guy. But the fact that he had rights is why you do too.

Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski says the quiet part out loud: “We are all afraid… I am oftentimes very anxious about using my voice because retaliation is real.”

NEW: Workers who recently lost their jobs at the National Institute for Occupational Safety due to Trump's cuts tell WIRED that they fear biological samples, like human urine and frozen rodent organs used for research, will be left to rot...

In 2019 a BYU Japanese PhD student helped organized a fishing outing. The group caught more fish than they were allowed, but prosecutors decided not to charge him. Now, his visa is being revoked. Kudos to Rubio for keeping America safe. www.deseret.com/utah/2025/04...

Most folks don't understand how many things were made possible by federal research funding (e.g., Google). Here are 50 of them, and it barely scratches the surface. (The list is from 2020 and, ironically, includes Tesla.)🧪 stacker.com/stories/busi...

The erasing continues. Erase them and disappear them. They're definitely coming after women's rights -- voting, right to work, right to own a biz, right to have a checking account, right to body autonomy, you name it. They're telegraphing the whole play with these moves.

JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)

The IRS is making plans to rescind the tax-exempt status of Harvard University, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

Don't do it, don't give in, they were going to try all this shit anyway

It seems Tesla is detecting vehicles that may have problems, and artificially running their odometers faster so the warranty expires before they have to do any service Just incredible grift

In 90 years of social security, we have never had a check bounce or be late, but they want you to believe the system is broken.

Every American should know that the Chamber of Commerce and American Bankers Association literally teamed up with the Trump administration on Monday to end the CFPB rule limiting big credit card providers to an $8 late fee. Today, in light of the agreement, the rule was vacated.

REPORTER: There are laws on the book that make it a criminal offense to harbor illegal immigrants, like sanctuary state leaders have been doing. Do you think they should be prosecuted and possibly put in prison? HOMAN: Absolutely. And hold tight on that one, because it's coming.

Exactly

Thank you for your wisdom, President Eisenhower.
