Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

The point is that members of Congress have de facto unlimited paid sick leave, even when members of the public are asking why they aren't turning up for work. Its a benefit that he, and other Republicans like Tom Kean, oppose for the rest of us.

Please give me a reason to open one of these bottles of champagne tonight give me a great Friday night news dump come on fates I need this

Listen as a New Jersey judge orders a newspaper (New Brunswick Today) to delete a security video the school district wanted deleted from the internet -- and orders the newspaper not to write about it *at all.* This is a prior restraint in violation of the First Amendment.

If you can’t tax billionaires & trillionaire because “its unrealized gains until they cash out,” then stop letting them leverage that wealth for loans, as collateral, or as equity. If it’s not real enough to tax—it shouldn’t be real enough to leverage. Abolish billionaires—Protect working people.

This is called renting. They already tried to rebrand the bus like a million times, why not rebrand renting too. That's a whole lot of words to say "you'll be too poor to own a home"

In which a Times reporter writing a book does not wait for the book to be published to write up his findings. Remember, the smoking gun tape in Watergate was Nixon *suggesting* the FBI (via the CIA) be ordered not to pursue a case. (Gift link) www.nytimes.com/2026/06/08/u...

During that scuffle, one of the agents dropped a magazine fully loaded with ammunition on the street (a supervisor retrieved that magazine minutes after the agents left the scene). chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

How can a video of a person looking for their flip-flop be so good? 🗣️

SANGER: “.. the Iranians sense Mr. Trump’s deep reluctance to restart combat operations that are deeply unpopular in the United States, and most Iran experts say they expect Tehran to try to stretch the negotiations for months or years ..” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/05/31/u...

A Google engineer made $1.2M on Polymarket betting on who would be announced as the most searched person of the year was just arrested for insider trading. People need to realize only government officials get away with that blatant a degree of insider trading.

E. Jean Carroll didn't just "accuse" Trump of sexual assault. She won a civil lawsuit against Trump for sexual assault. A jury found that Trump sexually assaulted her. She deserves for us to call it what it is.

We need to pay attention. This is still happening.

“Why are women less bullish overall on AI than men” is not actually that mysterious of a question

Dear Democrats: get on the data center issue asap. The American people are already there. They don’t want their communities polluted so Zuckerberg can power an ai chatbot that convinces their kids to commit suicide.

Is... is this a blanket retrospective self-pardon for federal crimes that is trying not to call itself that? It is *not* limited to the IRS or to tax evasion/ fraud.

No one will be surprised by what I think about the whole Polis clemency thing. He's the chief executive of the state and he can commute any sentence he wants. The "scandal" is that he hasn't commuted hundreds of people's sentences not that he commuted hers. Talk to your mother not me, lol

What’s the link? I want to file a claim. I was forced to watch those insurrectionists on TV and felt terrified for Congress and our democracy and now every day the aftermath. I need 10 million dollars in damages for emotional distress. I promise to give 9 million to pro-democracy causes! Maybe 8.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Everyone should read this.... AI and key words were used to cancel NIH and NSF grants...essentially on the whims of some DOGE folks on a power trip. The damage done to our once globally leading science enterprise is widespread...we need to speak out on this for it to get better. 🧪🌎

Look, I get wanting to protect your trademark. But, this kind of legal bullying is BS. Y'all know what to do. Here is the website for the Friends for Animals of Metro Detroit: www.metrodetroitanimals.org. Show them some love. 🩷

Two police officers from Gratis, Ohio, an all-white town per the US census, showed up at a majority Latinx public school in Cincinnati—50 miles away—to search for kids for ICE, disguised as a “wellness check.”

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

southern state governments are banning black congressional representation and installing statues of men who waged a war to continue the enslavement of black people in public parks

Direction of Country average of polls... -27 and trending badly

🚨🚨🚨 DOJ sent a grand jury subpoena from the Northern District of Texas to NYU Langone for all patient records of trans youth. DOJ is engaged in forum and judge shopping in Texas in a blatantly unlawful bid to shut down gender affirming care in blue states. nyulangone.org/public-notic...

Despite this being an abuse of power and almost certainly going to fail on first amendment grounds, when officials tell you "we can't hold the whole police department accountable" remember Ron over here is dissolving police forces because they talked about what a shitheel their mayor's wife is.

🤣

It’s staggering How swiftly states in the South can still move to stymie Black voters And how ready they were to do so

whoever leaked that he’s panicking about leaks is the funniest person in the government

As a small business owner, I could bring in more revenue with more staff. But I cannot afford to bring on people with benefits that workers expect and deserve. Only 51% of small businesses cover at least partial premiums, down from 54% two years ago. Medicare for All is a boon for small business.

This is the 82-year-old state senator the FBI just raided because she successfully redistricted Virginia to match racist Republican redistricting efforts. They targeted her because she's ruthless and effective. They don't want anyone else to play within their new rules.

NEW: In wake of Supreme Court voting rights act ruling, Rep. Johnny Olszewski (D-MD) introduces new term limits legislation for Supreme Court Justices 18-year terms to ensure "regular and predictable turnover"

This is *insane.* Even if you are too worn out to follow the news you have to understand this one. The Louisiana governor has now *suspended an active election with 42k votes already cast* just so they can use a different congressional map that rolls back minority representation. This is insane.

Two US-flagged commercial ships made through the Strait of Hormuz with two US destroyers, multiple combat helicopters, and thousands of personnel shooting projectiles and attack boats. I don’t think that’s what shipping and insurance companies had in mind by safe passage with profit worth the risk.

the thing dem pols need to internalize is this guy and his entire family will vote republican for the rest of their lives, regardless of the republican party literally ending their livelihood

Fun fact: Women's sports are segregated not to protect women, but to protect *men* from losing *to* a woman. Don't believe me? Look up Jackie Mitchell. Struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Then suddenly women were unfit to play baseball.

This is a ruling purporting to halt telehealth prescriptions of mifepristone NATIONWIDE. Louisiana asked the Fifth Circuit for a decision by Monday, May 11. That they dropped it on a Friday afternoon feels intentional to keep it in effect for longer. Expect emergency appeal to SCOTUS shadow docket

what the end of the VRA is going to do in the south is a moral abomination it is also not going to be enough to keep the house in R hands this fall given the environment we’re looking at, but it’s going to make it a lot harder in the future the Dem gerrymanders need to get more extreme
