Tesla sued after Austin shooting suspect allegedly assaulted co-worker A 65-year-old woman says the automaker ignored warning signs before Ndiaga Diagne, the suspect in Sunday’s mass shooting, assaulted her. She sued Thursday.

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year

the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

Can he be legally charged for rape now or has the stature of limitations past?
If he can be charge, then we need televised coverage gavel-to-gavel.

This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.

It’s a pretty big assumption on their part that Trump can just end this on a whim. There’s residual damage and conflict that’s not going to end simply because Trump says it’s over.

I live in RI and I’ve seen my fair share of leucistic deer (mostly piebald so not pure white) but I’ve never seen a leucistic squirrel and I see a lot of squirrels. That’s neat.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

It’s honestly wild that American media has β€œare liberals trapped in a bluesky bubble???” debates every two weeks while a 22 year old groyper White House staffer known as BasedBoss1488 remixes scenes from 300 in a propaganda video for a toxically unpopular lame duck president’s war of choice

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

I still have both my grandfathers records from when they enlisted. One was 5’8” and 134 lbs. The other was 5’10” and 142 lbs. They were both thin and gangly as hell. I’m 5’ 10” and I outweighed them both by junior high. This meme is truly moronic.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

Following this story's publication, a local reporter found that Rakhi Israni only recently registered as a Democrat from β€œNo Party Preference" in Nov. 2025 and infrequently voted.

I haven't said anything about this before, bc in the grand scheme of horrors this only rates as an inconvenience, but since others are experiencing it:

Just three days after CBP arrested me for filming them outside Broadview on 9/27, my TSA Pre & Global Entry were suspendedβ€”and so were my wife's.
