Trump has posted on Truth Social about 65 times in the last 90 minutes, including a video he posted at 8:44 PM PT describing election fraud lies that shows racist AI images of Michelle and Barack Obama as monkeys at the end. I’ve confirmed this is real and watched it myself.

This kind of thing makes me think Trump is losing steam on some of his shakedown attempts. He's not even trying to make this a realistic thing that Harvard might consider complying with to get him to shut up--he's just throwing a tantrum.

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!
Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him.
He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.
His health is declining.
Public outrage might save his life.

In my opinion the talk about security guarantees is just a way to fool Ukraine into signing a "peace" agreement that let Russia win the war while Ukraine is made to believe it's safe. Just like the Budapest Memorandum but far worse.
Is there anybody who actually believe that Ukraine's allies and the U.S. will actually provide real security guarantees? Isn't that the highest level of phantasy? The Trump admin might just break the agreement, the Europeans might chicken out when it's time to deliver.

Whether it’s right wing billionaires turning America’s most important media institutions into outlets for right wing propaganda or the Oberlin student council condemning the use of racial slurs, both sides seem to have lost interest in free speech.

When I thought the Epstein scandal was just going to hurt libs like Bill Clinton I thought it was the biggest scandal ever. But now that people I like are getting caught up in it, I think it’s a big nothing burger, and that everyone who’s promoting it should be ashamed.

I am a Ukrainian Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. I have a question.
Why has Trump's year of negotiations been the deadliest for civilians in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion? The number of deaths and injuries has increased by 31 percent compared to the previous year.

Google complies with DHS requests. If you haven't back up your stuff off Google somewhere else - you really really should.
Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.
