It's Official: the Cybertruck is More Explosive than the Ford Pinto - FuelArc News We now have a full year of data for the Cybertruck, and a strange preponderance of headlines about Cybertrucks exploding into flames, including several fatalities. That’s more than enough data to comp...

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold.

The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold.

Many of the working poor can never seem to break even and live a decent, safe life. And yet Trump has effectively ended taxes for billionaires. It's both horribly sad and infuriating.

There are 70,000 people in DHS concentration camps. 3000 are children. Close the camps. Being our neighbors home.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

So Trump fired a Cuban-American secretary of the Navy and replaced him with a white guy on the Epstein list. That tracks.

Someone explain to me why the men’s names are redacted?

Alex Pretti wasn't killed by rhetoric, he was killed by two masked CBP agents shooting him 10 times in the back after they had disarmed and pepper sprayed him.

Rhetoric didn't kill Renee Good either, a thug from ICE did that with a gun as she tried to avoid hurting him.

Tragic

Washington Post eliminates sports department and reduces overseas journalists, AP source says The troubled Washington Post has begun implementing large-scale cutbacks, including eliminating its sports department and shrinking the number of journalists it stations overseas.

There's zero reason for this. WoPo is owned by the 3rd richest person in the world. 🤬

We’re literally killing ourselves. They’ve been working on cutting edge cancer vaccines

Luke Ganger, Renee Good’s brother: “In the last few weeks, our family took some consolation thinking that perhaps ‘Nee’s death would bring about change in our country. It has not.”

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Delta could offer standby tickets for free, if they wanted to. Instead, they (like many other companies in MN) are passively profiteering on ICE activity at the expense of ordinary people's extraordinary generosity.

Opinion | Trump Could Interfere With the Midterm Elections. You Can Help Defend Them.

“If you are somebody who has previously dismissed talk of election interference as overwrought, we understand where you are coming from. Yet we urge you not to assume that the past will repeat itself.”

Thank goodness he is home

Idk why it gets to me every time but when I see elected officials go out of their way to be, like, human, it really matters some way I can't describe.

Heroes come in many forms and this is one of them
