I am part of a neighborhood group where I grew up in Bangladesh and lived until 5th grade in the 90s. The group admin this morning let us know via Facebook post that he has received warnings frm Facebook. The group is "at a risk of bei

He was doing similar stuff during his first term. It's just more blatant now.

US government is used to doing this with non-us persons. I guess that's partly why there's no real pushback against this practice this time.

Does this website also have a print version, and maybe counting those subscribers? Not really familiar.

It's also cruelty to folks who have absolutely nothing to defend themselves with. They are doing this just to deter people from practicing right to assembly and protest.

It started with the Free Palestine protesters. Tesla protesters are next. Citizens will be shipped to El Salvador, non-citizens to where they came from.

> everyone runs so goddamn, incredibly lean Yeah. This is why major automotive innovations are hard to come by without massive scale. When they started out, no supplier wanted to work with Tesla because they simply did not have the scale

Auto tariffs make perfect sense when you realize every car in the market except Tesla are going to cost 25% more starting next week.

Trump is such a polarizing figure that people who are actually competent don't really want to work for him (and yes Elon Musk is not one of the competent ones- he is biased at best). He has no choice but to value loyalty over competenc

This. I was a high schooler when I had winter Ramadan. Next time that happens in 2031 I'll be 46, and 62 in 2047 when it's in the middle of summer. If I'm lucky I might get one more winter Ramadan in 2063 or something, Insha

Yeah. Just trivial Muslim problems. Yesterday I had a flight from San Jose to LA. I didn't really plan for Ramadan when I booked the flight. I was scheduled to land at LAX at 6.45pm, about 25 minutes before iftar LA time. The plan was

The writer had to attend a standup with a colleague in Norway to realize this and write an article. Funnily enough, as a Muslim I get reminded about this annually during Ramadan, which is right now. First of Ramadan this year coincided with
