Next week’s trial of the remaining members of the “Broadview Six” protesters has been canceled, following a closed-door hearing Thursday morning about redactions that were made by prosecutors to a set of grand jury transcripts.

UN backs historic climate crisis ruling, despite US attempts to stop resolution

One formerly deported #DACA recipient says the regime’s mass deportation obsessions have left her family stuck in a state of “constant fear.” "These are not just political talking points or policies on paper,” she said. "These decisions to destroy families leaves permanent scars on children.”

And yet SpaceX is likely to be in the retirement funds of tens (hundreds?) of millions of Americans 'cause indexes are racing to rewrite their rules so they can include it If this happens SpaceX will basically be funded by American's heard-earned savings, whether they want that or not

Ukraine’s fight is our fight, their cause is our cause, and their independence will be our victory. To the Ukrainian communities in Canada and around the world celebrating their culture, identity, and traditions this Vyshyvanka Day: Canada stands with you.

Lethality, terms & conditions apply. This as the Army faces an estimated 4-6 billion dollar budget shortfall & is cancelling training deployments. Apparently there is still funding for National Guard soldiers to mill about aimlessly in DC metro stations however. share.google/aOBWyxqq7jqC...

1/ Russian commentators are judging Vladimir Putin's visit to Beijing to be a conditional failure. They put the blame principally on China for seeking an cynical and exploitative relationship with Russia, rather than being an equal partner. ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/unit...

This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community. Yesterday I called for EPA and Congressional investigations into the impact of data center construction on local drinking water supplies. We cannot take water for granted.

The designation of one of the world’s most prominent human rights advocates was baseless and shocking; its great news that the decision has (for now at least) been rescinded. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Trump's Justice Department is very online. And it loves conspiracy theories.

NEW: The Trump administration on Thursday plans to announce it will delay a planned phasedown of refrigerants as it looks for ways to cut consumers’ costs and lay blame for high prices on former President Joe Biden. Gift link @bloomberg.com: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A new lawsuit against White House visa restrictions could transform online safety research.

The much-discussed DNC autopsy has been released.... sorta. Turns out, it was never finished, had no source material and is full of errors. More from DNC Chair @kenmartin.bsky.social:

Incredible. The newly-published DNC autopsy of 2024 is 192 pages. *Zero* mentions of the words "Israel," "Palestine," or "Gaza." (DNC Chair Ken Martin concedes the autopsy does not meet his standards, nor would it meet yours).

"They leaked his tax returns, they tried to destroy him." If revealing your official tax returns -- something every single president and VP for forty years before Trump did voluntarily -- could possibly "destroy" you, that is the scandal.

As the US Supreme Court prepares to rule on the President's suspension of our Constitution's 14th Amendment, I highlight the research of myself and 95 colleagues on the economic consequences of that act —>

Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio elaborated on his podcast about this, saying "leftists should be scared that a bunch of J6ers are gonna get money," saying that they'd use the money in "the political realm" "against your leftist causes," including "into a political campaign of some of these J6ers."

I take this as a glowing sign from on high that This Place Has The Juice

"But under the second Trump administration, Ebola response teams were suspended, and health centers and medical supplies – particularly crucial with a virus spread through touch, with supportive care the only treatment – were dramatically cut back."

Wildly underreported fact, especially from Bezos himself: the Post Office— that thing you pay for with tax dollars—handles “last mile” delivery of more than a BILLION Amazon packages a year. Roughly 15 percent of the entire USPS’s activity is servicing Amazon.

The crosstabs on the latest Fox News poll showing Trump 22 points underwater (39 - 61) astound me. Trump is underwater w/ white men, white women, white w/o college degree, white women w/o college degree, Catholics, urban, suburban and rural voters. Only positive with white men w/o college degree.

Wow, the Supreme Court's third and final decision is Hamm v. Smith, a case about the execution of mentally disabled people—but the court simply dismisses it as improvidently granted. Thomas and Alito dissent. Count this as a win—the 8th Amendment survives. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Sorry, Roberts and Gorsuch also dissent, along with Thomas and Alito (who authored the dissents). So this was a 5–4 DIG, with Barrett and Kavanaugh joining the three liberals. Must have been wild behind the scenes. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Tech experts and reviewers say the long-delayed $500 phone has high costs, middling specs and murky origins.

Bluesky is fighting a novel tactic from Russian influence groups hacking into authentic, respected accounts to spread fabricated news. Targets include professors and journalists whose feeds were hijacked to post AI-doctored videos targeting Ukraine and Western allies.

“Everyone, especially in South Sudan, wanted to know if the US really had cut off aid. It was easier for them to believe that the aid organizations were lying to them than to think that the United States would do this.”

Hundreds of accounts on Bluesky have “been hijacked and used to post fake news articles, according to the company and researchers at Clemson University…” Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/b...

Great insights here from Riley McCabe and @csis.org. This century, the United States had suffered extremist killings at synagogues, churches, and gurdwaras. After San Diego, mosques have joined this grim list.

SpaceX's balance sheet is a frickin disaster

That's impossible. Justice Kennedy assured us in Citizens United that "independent expenditures do not lead to, or create the appearance of, quid pro quo corruption. In fact, there is only scant evidence that independent expenditures even ingratiate."

Why it matters: Doctors say early treatment & isolation are key to treating Ebola, which can progress to multi-organ failure in a matter of days. White House response: “This is absolutely false & another reason why the Washington Post is no longer worth the paper it’s printed on,” said spokesperson.

The White House delayed the evacuation of a U.S. doctor with ebola. @washingtonpost.com Exclusive: White House opposition to an American doctor working in the Democratic Republic of Congo returning to the United States delayed him from being evacuated and receiving care after he contracted Ebola.

OpenAI's claim that this is a central conjecture in discrete geometry is not an exaggeration. This will I think be looked back on as the first time that AI solved a major mathematics problem (defined as a problem that all experts in some subfield had thought about). openai.com/index/model-...
