Summary
The FBI is investigating a surge of anonymous racist and offensive text messages targeting Latino, Black, and LGBTQ communities following last week’s election.
Messages have included threats of deportation, re-education camps, or being forced into plantation labor.
While no violence has resulted, the texts, sent via services like TextNow, have prompted collaboration between the FBI, DOJ Civil Rights Division, and local authorities.
Advocacy groups like LULAC and the NAACP condemned the harassment, citing it as a troubling resurgence of hate rhetoric emboldened by recent political developments.
That’s the stupidest shit I’ve heard so far lmao
What points to Alaska being given up? What world does this happen in?
Trump’s lawyer used the idea as an argument against impeachment.

Putin’s allies have floated the idea of annexing Alaska, just like Crimea since then.

The world where Putin is saying that it belongs to Russia and Trump is Putin’s bitch. AKA possibly this one.
I can imagine Putin offering a “partnership”, where Russia gets to lease drilling land in Alaska, except the lease will be way too low and Russia will be late on payments.
Reality is faaaar stupider than fiction, because fiction has to make sense.
Yeah, about that…
