In 2014, Yonkers rapper @BigStickTom_ recorded "5 Cell Phone" in an attic for $20. Nearly 12 years later—after being evicted, living in his car, and staying at a homeless shelter—Tom worked to blow the song up.

He posted on TikTok and Instagram every day, and his clips started to get traction, with @lilyachty and @SwaeLee liking his posts.

Eventually the underground took notice, and after @xaviersobased brought him onstage, he’s appearing on bills alongside osquinn, @1feardorian, and @sprain_.

Talking to Tom on the phone, he expressed nothing but gratitude for the newfound success and validation that came with his decision to revisit a song from a decade ago.

It’s already changed his life significantly: "It's the same song from 10 years ago…Now there's different people."

First known US case: American charged for using a “duress” password

Samuel Tunick, an Atlanta resident, is being prosecuted for allegedly giving border agents a passcode that wiped his phone.

The feature comes from GrapheneOS, a privacy-focused Android OS. Entering the duress code triggers a full factory reset.

This is believed to be the first time federal prosecutors have brought such charges.

The incident happened in January 2025 at Atlanta airport. Agents demanded access to his phone without a warrant, saying he hadn’t yet officially entered the US. When they entered the code, the phone wiped itself.

Tunick has pleaded not guilty. His lawyers argue the seizure was unlawful and that agents were investigating his activism against “Cop City.”

The case raises big questions about digital rights at the US border.

What do you think?

John Deere got this video taken off our YouTube channel for two weeks. It took our lawyers reaching out to YouTube to get it back up.

The video lays out how a handful of corporations took control of the entire agriculture industry, bankrupting farmers and screwing over America.

It is really funny that the most beautiful American city is seen by rightoids as a dystopian hellscape.
