Of course the future of cars is still electric. But like so much other US policy right now, it’s delaying that transition to cleaner technology, and incentivizing many more harmful actions in the meantime.

On-brand. SCSU enrollment is down 8,000 students while Mankato is steady. Why? Because students of color (a growing share of MN HS grads) don’t want to go there. While grads from the surrounding rural counties it historically served have strong feelings about St Cloud, how it’s ”changed.”

ICE is now lying in wait outside convenience stores, or at busy intersections. Agents are arresting people at international airports. Local police and sheriffs, deputized by the federal government, are detaining immigrants during traffic stops. ICE is now detaining more immigrants than ever before.
A chart that shows a timeline of ICE immigration enforcement against different significant events (Los Angeles raids, Minneapolis and Chicago raids), with a line in late March 2026 that says "New enforcement strategy begins" before a peak of over 1,500 daily arrests in July 2026.

Panel 2: the POV flips to the bat’s upside-down perspective, which makes the digital numbers look like they spell “BOOBIES”. The bat appears delighted.

Men can drug, sexually assault women. Men in govt can sex traffick women + children. ICE can rape and impregnate and then deport women to hide their crimes. But if we talk about these things - w/o graphic details - it's "not w/i ad-friendly guidelines". If men can rape why can't we talk about it?
