NEW: Rep. Jamie Raskin is calling on Todd Blanche to resign. "[W]e must demand that Todd Blanche resign. An Attorney General who has disgraced himself by settling a bogus lawsuit with a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded bonanza payout to convicted cop beaters."

BREAKING GOOD NEWS from El Pueblo Unido Atlantic City: An 18-year-old detainee who participated in the hunger strike inside Delaney Hall, is now FREE! Ariana is now speaking out about what she witnessed and experienced behind those walls. #FreeThemAll

Never gets old. J-school essay topic: Is there any performance test for essentially life-tenure columnists? A limit on how many big calls you can get totally wrong, before they say: Hey, buddy, how about taking a step back for a while. Maybe a few reported pieces? Where you go out and ask around?

I would say that Elon Musk lies all the time, and blaming his political involvement on his daughter is part of his ongoing abuse of his daughter. "you made me do it" is intended as punishment and threat.

If you don’t like what you’re seeing at Delaney Hall, pay attention to what’s happening in Congress this week.   We must stop giving ICE and for-profit companies like GEO Group a blank check to create chaos.

We're going through it, folks, but that means it's ever more important to celebrate our joys and identities in their infinite variety Happy Pride Month!

Happy Pride 🌈

The richest assholes told the government to cripple the agency that collects taxes so they don’t have to pay anything, and they did it

I don't have access to the full text of the story, but this conspiratorial framing ("you can't talk about it") plus a treatment that goes against all we know about long covid, being pushed by a single researcher, is a whole mess of red flags

"There's an effective treatment but the Powers That Be are keeping it from you" is the age-old argument of cranks and grifters. Embarrassing for Wired to run this.

After months of stress and the possibility of 10 years in prison hanging over our heads, we’re ready to celebrate. So... KAPOW and Bookclub present: I GOT INDICTED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS CONCERT

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

I'm excited to announce that today we have filed to take Magic Beans, Inc. public. This is an important milestone for our team, our investors, and our customers. We expect to list in the coming weeks, hopefully before the general public discovers the Terrible True Cost of our beans.

if you just went by media coverage you would think that trangender kids playing sports are a much more immediate threat to the public well-being than a billionaire becoming a trillionaire by pumping $2 trillion worth of fraud into every single 401k

Hey, #NEISvoid and #MECFS ppls-- I know we SAY this a lot but is it cited anywhere you know of? - We're probably not diagnosing ppl at the mild end AND ppl at the severe end at the rare we're dxing moderate presentation.

A Massachusetts Democratic delegate comments on Reddit that they saw Moulton supporters fold up their signs and switch their votes to Markey during Ed's speech.

1) Platner sucks; I would absolutely not vote for him in a primary. 2) he's not a member of the American fascist party, so I would vote for him in the general and hate it. 3) His defenders on here are driving me insane with their disingenuous bullshit. Rinse & repeat for the foreseeable future

(I got permission to post this) Beginning today, I will not be posting anything about my son. I will instead be posting about my daughter. Happy Pride!

happy pride 💕

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

BREAKING: Mayor Mamdani just signed an “executive order” to repeal bedtime so NYC kids can watch the Knicks play in the NBA Finals!

Today Microsoft moved all its GitHub copilot subscribers to token-based billing. If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all.

NEWS: In September, the Washington Post fired me in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk killing. This week, after eight months, I'll be heading to arbitration against the Post to challenge my termination. karenattiah.substack.com/p/my-case-ag...

Explains some things www.sacurrent.com/news/texas-n...

In response to the New Jersey Attorney General’s statement tonight about the protests outside of Delaney Hall, we asked for comment about police using rubber bullets on photojournalists, rounding them up, and forcing them to leave. No response so far.

Can I interest you in a moist owlette as a timeline cleanse? This is Sassafras the Eastern Screech Owl from the Cincinnati Zoo (@cincinnatizoo.bsky.social, but via their FB) and I love him very much. Eastern Screech Owls (Megascops asio) are native to eastern North America.

New York City, we have no excuse to be bored this summer. The map at Nyc.gov/summer is full of free and affordable stuff to do -- sports, music, arts, movies, video games and more -- in every borough.   The city is your backyard. Get out there and enjoy it.

Still haven't seen it reported in the state's paper of record, but the People's Lawyer Keith Ellison just put out a press release condemning this bullshit:

These protests were relatively benign and peaceful for days and days until they started getting national attention and now the cops show up and it's just fucking violence and chaos. It's pretty clear who the instigators are here and it's not the protestors.

(This is why masculinity is always in crisis, because it's in a perennial state of needing to be 'proved' through ritualistic patriarchal violence against the abject and effeminised. What is 'manly' is often synonymous with what is reactionary.)

Every day these insanely rich guys are telling journalists shit that's every bit as dumb as a stoner dropout.

thinking about that period of time where they invented the word "metrosexual" to describe a man who showers

When your movement is built on intense paranoia and the constant surveillance of gender presentation, no one is safe from scrutiny -- not even the movement's own champions. All fascist movements eat themselves because fascism requires a constant supply of "traitors" to be subjugated.

eat my shit and hair

They kettled press as well as protestors. Now they're giving press "one opportunity" to leave. www.youtube.com/live/dhCEpox...

this is the kind of headline you write if you spend way too much time online. this isn't an unpopular opinion except amongst certain online communities. you're fighting ghosts homie.

this is disingenuous insulting fucking horseshit. it’s fine to say any dem is better than any republican, but the obama boys made a bad early bet with platner and this is their attempt to make that *your* fault and to put that on *you*. vote platner if you’re in maine, but fuck these guys.

Kind of hate that for the past several years, I find myself dreading the month of June because that's when the right-wing decides to be *especially* anti-LGBTQ (more than the usual amount, which is a lot) as a way to show how much they hate the idea of Pride.

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

we cannot be a nation until the whole hell of the deportation machine, the family separation machine, the foul moloch that sustains Stephen Miller and grinds children into dust, until all of that is dismantled and the work of reparation begins www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Thread and also: yep, it's literally the regurgitated corpse of homophobic bathroom/sports/safety rhetoric. Which is itself the zombified racist rhetoric of the same exact crap.

There are no “legitimate concerns” about trans people. There aren’t any about women’s safety or fairness in sports or kids being kids or fucking toilets. If there were you’d have heard of them before 2018. I am a cis white woman so you have to listen to me or I’ll cry.

I know it’s a big ask, but everyone needs to watch more interviews and panels with CEOs. They are so disturbing and repellent but to really face the reality of not only the fact we’re in a class war but the nature of who it is we’re battling, and the future they are authoring, is essential.

Outside Delaney Hall today.

If you do all this stuff against Liberty University it is actually constitutionally protected free speech in my opinion.

Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.

Ossoff isn’t the only elite Dem who does this but he often puts all those things, plus stuff about ICE, Trump’s authoritarianism and wars and other topline interconnected items, into the same literal paragraph

Hi, expert on far-right extremism here, a history of domestic violence and misogyny is one of the strongest predictive variables for violent extremism, especially on the right. We've been raising the alarm on this for DECADES but no one cares.
