For now, CBP is telling shippers to pay duties and tariffs within 10 days of their cargo’s release, in which time it expects the glitch to be resolved. But the whole mess is just further evidence of a complete lack of strategy, planning, or direction with Trump’s tariffs. It doesn’t inspire confidence from the markets, hedge funds, manufacturing workers, or anyone outside of MAGAworld.

Literally amateur hour with these children.

“If due process is of no moment,” then the government could snatch any American citizen off the street, falsely accuse them of being a “criminal alien,” ship them to an overseas prison, then disavow any responsibility to bring them back."

This is terrifying.

Midterms? Not at this rate. I'm sure some fabricated emergency will spring up delaying such democratic luxuries.

The biggest worry I have is that to obfuscate things, Trump is going to do something even more stupid in the next coming days.

"The power of the people is greater than the people in power. This is a moral moment where all Americans need to stand up and say enough is enough. I'm sorry, the civil rights movement wasn't won because of just a few black folks who stood up and were really articulate, no! They called to the consciousness of this country and the country responded!"-Cory Booker

I became a big fan of the series "V", specifically the 2000's remake. I think they discontinued the series due to mixed ratings.

 

Hundreds of international students in the US are getting an email from the US Department of State (DOS) asking them to self-deport owing to campus activism. Immigration attorneys’ contacted by TOI affirmed this development and added a few Indian students may also be at the receiving end of such emails – for something as innocuous as sharing a social media post.

It is not just international students who physically participated in campus activism but also those who shared or liked ‘anti-national’ posts that are the target of these emails, said an immigration attorney.

This crackdown is based on social-media reviews being conducted by DOS (which includes Consulate officials). Thus, even new student applications be it for an F (academic study visa), M (vocational study visa) or J (exchange visa) will also come under such social media scrutiny.

Applicants will be denied the opportunity to study in the US.

 

"The administration has downplayed the importance of the text messages inadvertently sent to The Atlantic’s editor in chief." By Jeffrey Goldberg and Shane Harris.

“In light of statements today from multiple administration officials, including before the Senate Intelligence Committee, that the information in the Signal chain about the Houthi strike is not classified, and that it does not contain ‘war plans,’ The Atlantic is considering publishing the entirety of the Signal chain.”

Ticketmaster and Live Nation have destroyed the concert experience. But it didn't use to be this way. Today, Oasis and Taylor Swift tickets might go for thousands of dollars, but back in 1955, you could see Elvis Presley in concert for less than the modern-day equivalent of $20.

 

Hi all, I'm looking into ways to protect my privacy while using WhatsApp, particularly in a professional setting where separating personal and work-related communications is crucial. I'm thinking of buying a dual SIM phone and am considering strategies to sandbox my personal contacts, pictures, and media from those associated with my work profile on WhatsApp.

Has anyone successfully done this using two SIM cards on the same device? I'm staunchly anti-Facebook and its obtrusive privacy-related practices, so ideally I want to prevent cross-contamination of personal and work-related data, including contacts, photos, and media shared through the app. Will this be a good strategy? Are there any known risks or precautions I should take to minimize the risk of my data being shared or accessed by third parties? - Thanks all, I'd appreciate any comments.
