Welcome to The Independent's US Morning Headlines newsletter

Kanye West's Twitter account has been suspended after he violated the platform's policy against inciting violence by posting a design of a swastika inside the Star of David. Twitter boss and tech-billionaire Elon Musk confirmed the suspension on Thursday (1 December), tweeting that he had "tried his best" to persuade the rapper not to share such posts. On Thursday night, West shared the image of the Nazi symbol over the Star of David, a symbol of Judaism. He then shared an image of Musk half-naked on a yacht. "Let's always remember this as my final tweet," West wrote. "That is fine," Musk replied on the image of himself topless. "This is not," he wrote on the since-deleted swastika tweet. |

How did the bear who ate a duffle bag of cocaine find its way to the big screen? |
When Georgia investigators stumbled across the infamous Cocaine Bear in 1985, its cause of death was unmistakable. The 175-pound black bear was found next to a duffle bag that had once been filled with more than 70 pounds of cocaine before it was hurled from a drug smuggler's plane. Except now it had been ripped open, with 40 empty packets scattered near the overdosed animal's carcass. Now the wild story of the Cocaine Bear has been given the Hollywood thriller treatment and turned into a movie directed by actress and director Elizabeth Banks. |
