I cannot stress enough that this IS NOT NORMAL. As in, it does not happen. Unless, of course, the government wouldn’t want defendants to find something in discovery by pursuing their legal fees under the Hyde Amendment.

To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years. I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.

Every year since 2013, the month of June is an occasion to remember our comrade Clément Méric, murdered in the middle of the street by nazis Paris

On our very first Pride Night in 2013, Jason Collins threw out the first pitch. Tonight his brother, Jarron, honors him.

You're looking at a Pacific sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus), one of the fastest marine animals on Earth. But here's a puzzler: why would a fish need a sail /underwater/? For that matter, what's with the built-in bayonet? The answer is way more complicated than I thought. Let's talk about it.

Wow! Performers I’ve heard of….

A family is demanding answers after LAPD officers shot and killed their 2-year-old dog, Jameson, while responding to a call about a woman screaming during the Knicks' championship celebration. MERCADO MEDIA

RIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter

NEW: DoJ has charged “crimes” against “antifa” in Minnesota.

It is impossibly hard to get an indictment for stalking when the stalker is an abusive ex. It makes my blood boil that the DOJ indicted Minnesotans for observing ICE as a form of stalking. These laws do not protect us. But they can be weaponized against us.

As the government raids “antifa groups” in Minneapolis with the SAME charges levied against myself and the rest of the Broadview Six, we need to be asking how they got this indictment. And as charges (hopefully) get dropped, we must remember the process is the punishment.

And we now have Potential Tropical Cyclone One... #SpectrumNews1 #ncwx #PTC1

Now that I’m not under federal indictment, I can finally say whatever I want!

this literally hadnt occurred to me how hamstrung her comms were by the case, which now i feel dumb for not realizing a but-for cause of her coming in 2nd? probably part of the point yep

Not only was my speech hamstrung but every single piece of public communication had to go through lawyers which cost a FORTUNE. It took hundreds of thousands of dollars that could’ve gone to field, events, or our mutual aid operation.

It's band-aid solutions all the way down

Best Twitter riposte of the day.

Dylan, on life in your 80’s, is incredible. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/o...

"Faith voters" (but not most religious group Black Americans) "Working class" luxury pickup truck owners (but not POC) "Midwest" means White "Elite" service workers (but not Republicans) "Crime" right before elections (lower in blue states) "High taxes" (lower for most in California than Texas)

Black "looting" food White "finding" food NYT editor Jonathan Weisman: John Lewis isn't really Southern Midwest POC aren't really from the Midwest @cingraham.bsky.social pointed out he referred to Obama as “much more white than black” at WaPo in 2008 "Centrist" media editors with narrative power:

"Elite" Democrats (but not billionaires) "Faith voters" (but not most religious group Black Americans) "Working class" luxury pickup truck owners (but not POC) "Heartland" real Americans "Crime" right before elections (lower in blue states) "High taxes" (lower for most in California than Texas)

IMO, hosting this MMA event at the WH is part of a larger project to rebrand the GOP as a populist party, shedding the Alex P Keaton stereotype it once carried. And in doing so, make them seem like the right party for working class people, even as they cut taxes for the rich & slash social services

I’ve never followed sports but boy this Brooklyn, New York girl had to watch this game and what a joy to see the Knicks win the NBA finals!!! WOW!! Happy Days are here again.

Ms. Rachel: As the American Academy of Pediatrics says, there is no safe amount of time for a child to be in detention. The Dilley immigration detention center must be shut down. We need to end the cruel policies of family detention and family separation.

One year ago, an act of political violence claimed the lives of Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman, her husband, Mark, and their dog, Gilbert, in their home. That same day, Minnesota Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were also shot multiple times and survived their injuries.

The mifespristone case shows that the abortion federalism promised by Dobbs was a lie—the goal is to ban abortion everywhere, even if that means forcing pro choice states like New York to enforce abortion bans passed by anti-choice states. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Fascism's a fever you break with shit like what happened in New York last night. Create more excuses to feel things like that together.
