β€œβ€¦about the 1873 massacre in Colfax, La., where dozens of Black men were murdered by a mob of former Confederates and Ku Klux Klan members.

ChatGPT had deemed it β€œD.E.I.” Mr. Fox said he agreed. β€œBecause it focuses on exclusively anti-Black violence, which is a race,” he said.”

50% of all revenue in my hometown is now obligated to the police. As crime drops to historic lows, even in places with fewer cops.

Geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East once again shows that reliance on volatile oil and gas exposes economies to price shocks.

Renewables, electrification and storage offer more stable long term energy costs and stronger energy security.

Chlorine dioxide is an industrial bleach for lumber and freaks like RFK give autistic kids enemas with it. Kids die from the practice. These people just want autistic kids dead.

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

DOJ admits 47,635 Epstein files β€” including Trump allegations β€” were removed Justice Department expects to restore missing documents that were taken offline for review

47,635 Epstein Files removed because they implicated Donald Trump.

This is outrageous. Pam Bondi is the epitome of pedophile protector.

But at least they’re interviewing Hillary. πŸ™ƒ

Is anyone clear on what, if anything, the US is doing to get Americans out of the Middle East?

Are they seriously just waiting for people to contact an embassy and hope for the best? Because it looks like there was no real evacuation plan before Trump escalated a huge conflict in the region.

When Trump came to power, he ripped up the peace deal that Obama had made, and used the uncertainty he created as an excuse to bomb Iran, insisting he had ended the problem he had created once and for all, except now he's bombing them again to solve the problem he created and previously solved?

To all Texans who voted early in the primary because you have to work, have another commitment, or are ill on election day - Trump and Republicans in Congress want to take that away from you.

We obtained the Dilley detention center’s 911 call logs.

Among them are pleas for help for toddlers having trouble breathing, a pregnant woman who passed out and an elementary-school-aged girl having seizures.

The second and third verses of β€œLift Every Voice and Sing”

Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chast’ning rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered.
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past,
Till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.

God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who hast by Thy might,
Led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee,
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;
Shadowed beneath Thy hand,
May we forever stand,
True to our God,
True to our native land.
