Cornell University, which had $1 billion in federal funds frozen by President Donald Trump earlier this month and is reportedly facing an investigation for its antisemitism, is now refusing to cancel a performance by an openly antisemitic performer at its end-of-year celebration. R&B singer Kehlani, who released a video in 2024 that opened with “Long Live the Intifada” and featured a Palestinian flag in the background with dancers wearing keffiyahs and brandishing, also published a post on X in which she stated, “It’s f*** Israel, it’s f*** Zionism, and it’s also f*** a lot of y’all too.” In July 2024, she said at a performance, “Beyond an end to the ceasefire, we need an end to the occupation,” as the Cornell Daily Sun reported. Kehlani also “shared a map online that eliminates the state of Israel and refused to condemn Hamas for the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre,” the New York Post stated. Kehlani “shared several X posts which stated, ‘Zionists are all evil.’ She continued her rant, claiming Zionists were the ‘scum of the earth’ and told them to ‘go to hell,’” stopantisemitism.org noted. “In additional Instagram stories, Kehlani falsely accused Israeli forces of beheading Palestinian babies and intentionally burning people alive.” On April 10, it was publicly announced that Kehlani would headline Slope Day, the annual celebration after the end of classes on May 7. Later that week, Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff protested, “We found out about the social media of this performer roughly three weeks ago. It’s too late to secure another performer that will be acceptable or appropriate for Slope Day.” “We also altered that contract to make it clear that if there are any political events at the performance, there is full forfeit of the whole compensation. We assured ourselves to the extent [possible] that this will be a successful event … without politics,” he added. “In a sign of mounting backlash, members of the student group Cornellians for Israel have launched a petition and GoFundMe drive demanding that the school replace Kehlani with another performer — or they will boycott the event and select their own entertainer to headline a unifying counter-concert on the Ithaca campus,” The New York Post added. Billboard reported in 2018 that Kehlani said in a series of tweets, “i’m queer, not bi, not straight. i’m attracted to women, men, REALLY attracted to queer men, non binary people, intersex people, trans people. lil poly pansexual papi hello good morning. does that answer your questions?”

A Minnesota state fiscal policy analyst who reportedly admitted to vandalizing six Teslas, causing a reputed $21,000 in damages, will not be charged with criminal conduct by the local Democrat county attorney. Dylan Bryan Adams, 33, who describes himself as a fiscal policy analyst for the state Department of Human Services on social media, was caught on video keying different Teslas in the Minneapolis area. One owner of a victimized Tesla told the Minnesota Star Tribune that the marks on her car appeared to be a failed attempt to carve a swastika. “Our main priorities are to secure restitution for the victims and hold Mr. Adams accountable,” Hennepin County Attorney’s Office spokesman Daniel Borgertpoepping stated. “As a result, we will file for pre-charge diversion to best facilitate both of those goals. This is an approach taken in many property crime cases and helps to ensure the individual keeps their job and can pay restitution, as well as reducing the likelihood of repeat offenses. Criminal prosecution remains a possibility should unlawful behavior continue.” 4/Let's take a look at the mindset of Gov. Tim Walz's state employee Dylan Bryan Adams, who is suspected of damaging several Teslas in the heart of MAGA Country in downtown Minneapolis. pic.twitter.com/bJtqeTCMMB — CrimeWatchMpls (@CrimeWatchMpls) April 18, 2025 “Participants in the county attorney’s diversion program are expected to sign a contract which could include conditions like community service and restitution payments,” the Star Tribune noted. “The Minneapolis Police Department did its job,” Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara reacted. “It identified and investigated a crime trend, identified and arrested a suspect, and presented a case file to the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office for consideration of charges. This case impacted at least six victims and totaled over $20,000 in damages. Any frustration related to the charging decision of the Hennepin County Attorney should be directed solely at her office. Our investigators are always frustrated when the cases they poured their hearts into are declined. In my experience, the victims in these cases often feel the same.” “We are reviewing the matter at this time,” Minnesota DHS stated to the Star Tribune. “State employees are expected to follow our code of conduct and hold themselves to the highest ethical standards through their words and actions.” Mary Moriarty, the Hennepin County Attorney, was a former public defender who became Hennepin County Attorney in January 2023. “She vowed to make police more accountable and change the culture of an office she believes had long overemphasized punishment without addressing the root causes of crime,” KFGO reported in July 2024. Attorney Gretchen Gray-Larson, who retired in July 2023 from the county attorney’s office after 33 years, said colleagues of hers who kept working in the office were not happy, adding, “People are afraid to talk. The morale is horrible.”

On Monday, the Justice Department made remarks before the court, urging a U.S. district judge to force Google to relinquish its ownership of the Chrome web browser. “Google, which controls about 90% of the global search market, has used illegal agreements to sideline its rivals and harmed consumers and advertisers in the process,” The Wall Street Journal noted. “A trial last year, focused just on liability, revealed that Google has paid Apple more than $20 billion a year for Google’s search engine to be the default on Apple’s Safari web browser.” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust Gail Slater, and Justice Department official David Dahlquist made their remarks to U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta, who stated last year, “Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one” as he ruled that Google had illegally preserved its search engine monopoly. “President Trump took the first big step in 2020 when his Justice Department filed an antitrust lawsuit against Google to challenge its dominance over internet search,” Blanche told Mehta. “Today, as the remedies phase of that case begins, President Trump’s Justice Department will finish the job.” “As a monopolist, Google uses its market power against the American people,” Blanche continued. “It has control of an extraordinary amount of data about ordinary Americans. Google has deplatformed conservative speech and has put its thumb on the scale politically for years. All of this behavior is downstream from Google’s monopoly power over internet search. This antitrust case addresses that monopoly power. The Department has asked the court to impose remedies that will ensure Google can never again wield such dominance over internet search.” “This case was filed during President Trump’s first term and litigated across three administrations,” Slater pointed out. “It has unified our nation. Forty-nine states, two territories and the District of Columbia have all joined the Department of Justice in prosecuting Google here. And for good reason. Each generation has called for the DOJ to challenge a behemoth that crushed competition. In decades past, it was Standard Oil and AT&T. Today’s behemoth is Google. It is a gatekeeper for our commerce and our information. It is so ubiquitous and so powerful that it interacts with millions of Americans, billions of times per day. Fortunately, DOJ’s Antitrust Division exists for cases just like this one.” “We’re at an inflection point,” Dahlquist told Mehta. “This court has an opportunity to remedy a monopoly that has controlled the internet for today’s generation and restore competition for decades to come.”

Would you go for a drive on the world’s tallest bridge? Starting in June, those who live near the Huajiang Grand Canyon will have the opportunity to do just that. Construction on the bridge began back in 2022, but it’s easy to understand why it’s taken so long to complete. It’s set to be 1.8 miles long and will stand about 2,050 feet above sea level. For context, that is 947 feet taller than the current tallest bridge: the Millau Viaduct in France. You may be wondering: What is the purpose of creating a bridge that tall? Well, turns out, there’s a very good reason, actually. And it’s not just because building the tallest bridge in the world sounds cool! It’s being built right above the Huajiang Grand Canyon, making it the perfect connection between more rural areas (like Guizhou) and more populous areas (like Shenzhen.) Check out the impressive progress being made in the video below! @dailymail China is nearing completion of the world’s tallest bridge, set to open in June 2025 Stretching across the Huaijiang Grand Canyon, the new bridge will cut travel time across the gorge from 70 minutes to just one. Made of steel, the bridge spans roughly 1.8 miles in length and stands about 2,050 feet above sea level.

I’d faint,” someone admits in reply to that breathtaking footage, another person adding, “I would genuinely rather take a 4-day detour.” Huajiang Grand Canyon in China is Set to Become the New Tallest Bridge in the World Once Completed on June 30 While this is an understandably popular sentiment from folks online, for those who will have access to this bridge, it has the potential to be life-changing. At the moment, those in rural areas around this canyon face incredibly long commutes. In fact, getting around the canyon itself takes around two hours. Once the bridge is complete, however, it will take a mere minute. In other words, millions of people will soon have much better access to a number of places. This includes markets, hospitals, schools, and more. How cool is that!? You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
