Hours before the wall was torn down, there were violent and unsettling messages written across, what administrators dubbed, the “wall of hate.”“It’s something that we’ve done on and off for the last 20 or so years, and the purpose is very simple,” Joe Donzelli said. “We give an area and an opportunity for students, facility or staff to write down words or phrase that might have been upsetting to them, that might have hurt themselves, their families, their friends or loved ones.”The past few weeks have proven to be divisive both in South Florida and around the world as the war in the Middle East rages on.

Feds issue subpoenas in Tesla probe 

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 10:35:31 GMT

DETROIT — Federal prosecutors have expanded investigations into Tesla beyond the electric vehicle maker’s partially automated driving systems, and they have issued subpoenas for information instead of simply requesting it, the company disclosed Monday.In a quarterly report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Tesla said the Department of Justice is looking into “personal benefits, related parties, vehicle range and personnel decisions” without giving details.The additional investigation topics and the subpoenas suggest that prosecutors have broadened their inquiry, and they have found the need to force Tesla to disclose information, legal experts say. The filing indicates prosecutors may be investigating Tesla CEO Elon Musk, and whether the company has been candid in describing the features of its vehicles, they say.In January, Tesla disclosed that the Justice Department had requested documents related to its Autopilot and “Full Self-DrivingR...
