Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

When I wrote my camps book, people sometimes had difficulty understanding how concentration-camp regimes were proud of what they were doing and wanted attention for it, even as they also hoped to keep many aspects secret and terrorize vulnerable classes. Anyway, this is what that looks like.

After Musk baselessly accuses a Tesla Takedown protester of committing crimes, she’s flooded with violent threats, she gets a lawyer and she prepares her roommates for the nightmare scenario: “What happens if the Feds come?”

A Tesla protester targeted by Elon Musk speaks out: 'I have to protect myself'

"When one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful person in the world is saying you've committed a crime, it doesn't matter what the truth is," says Valerie Costa, an anti-Tesla protester.

Holy shit. This is *the* gold-standard measurement of atmospheric CO2 -- the one in all the charts.

The Trump administration is planning to cancel its lease at a government laboratory in Hawaii, a site where scientists support key observations of surging greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere, according to a list obtained by Democratic members of Congress and shared with The Post.

Trump moves to close facility that helps track planet-warming pollution

The lab is connected to the Mauna Loa Observatory, where scientists gather data to produce the Keeling Curve, a chart on the daily status of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations.
