Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Members of an immigrant family in Worcester, Massachusetts were targeted, terrorized, and seized by ICE agents this week.
The father was taken into custody by ICE on Wednesday, and agents returned to the family’s home Thursday to execute an arrest of the mother — without a warrant.

I saw this story breaking about Mike Waltz and noticed something weird about his phone in that he isn’t actually using “signal” as in the secure messaging app but is using something MUCH worse that I haven’t seen reported on yet. Quick thread but it’s an Israeli intel guy behind it

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."
Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.

The Onion is in a unique spot: We're independent and not beholden to anyone, in a time when that's increasingly both rare and necessary. We're one of the rare media organizations allowed, and expected, to say things no one else can say, but everybody knows is true.

So Trump has raised all these tariff taxes.
Now imagine a Trump-chartered government company, and Trump giving it an exemption -- letting it sell things tariff-free.
Imagine how angry you would be at that Trump entity.

Anecdotal, but I'm definitely noticing an uptick in advocacy for violence here. About which I'll say only this: Promoting violence on social media is the work of trolls and fools, those eager to bait others into implicating themselves in the age of surveillance or fools rushing to the gulag.
