The New Video of Federal Agents Ambushing a Student and Disappearing With Her Should Chill You to Your Core

A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson later claimed Ozturk “engaged in activities in support of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization.” The person said Ozturk, who is from Turkey, had had her student visa revoked.

To be perfectly clear, Ozturk is not accused of breaking the law. The Department of Homeland Security hasn’t bothered to explain its reasoning, but several outlets reported that Ozturk co-authored a student opinion piece urging Tufts to recognize the International Court of Justice’s declaration of a “plausible risk of genocide” unfolding in Gaza and to divest from Israel. You can read the article if you like. It does not mention Hamas.

WT actual F? A school opinion piece gets you disappeared??

My friend got hacked and of course microsoft will not even try to help

I don’t know I’m not buying this whole thing.

My company is a Microsoft partner, we deal with all types of issues and requests including account hacking and lockouts. This just doesn’t read like a Microsoft customer support email. It reads more like a scammer actually.

The first paragraph sounds strange and not how they would typically start an investigation response.

They can, and have, recovered full access to our customers’ data in such an event, so weird to say they can’t.

even our engineers cannot retrieve them.

That just reads very strange. They don’t talk like that.

Then the final line with “Sincerely,” improperly indented looks like classic scammer text alignment.

And they wouldn’t sign it as “Microsoft Customer Support”. It would be signed with the agents name and wouldn’t be finite. Their ticketing system places footers that instruct the user to reply to the email for continued support.

This message looks bogus to me.

CBS News fires ‘60 Minutes’ correspondent Scott Pelley after clash with new producer

Pelley did not mention Weiss or Bilton by name in his lengthy written statement about his firing. But he said “new management” had instructed him to “inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story” and told him to report unverified assertions.

Paramount and CBS can suck it. I’m a Trekkie but it looks like I won’t be watching my favorite Star Trek shows for the foreseeable future.

Hitler’s Terrible Tariffs: By seeking to “liberate” Germans from a globalized world order, the Nazi government sent the national economy careening backwards—and drove up the price of eggs 600 percent.

But Hitler made no effort to reassure the markets, insisting that the tariffs were necessary and that he needed time to fix the ruined country his predecessors had left him… Hitler provided scant details as to how this was to be accomplished. By this point, he had broken even with the tariff cheerleader Feder, and had abandoned most of the action items for developing a nationalist and socialist economy. These items had included increased taxation of the wealthy; state supervision of large corporations; and the prohibition of “new department stores, low-priced shops, and chain stores.”

Man, this stuff sounds very familiar.
