If this pride you'd like to kick in a few bucks to Gavin Grimm's GFM that funds a trust for his benefit: www.gofundme.com/f/gavin-grim... (disclosure: I'm a trustee)

Five diabetes researchers were removed from the field’s premier conference in New Orleans after handing out copies of an editorial criticizing the Trump administration’s “dismantling” of the biomedical research enterprise.

Watchdog group Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) has filed a lawsuit against the Interior Department for failure to provide information about allocation of taxpayer money and promises made to sponsors about access to Trump. peer.org/peer-sues-in...

We could've avoided potentially losing the senate if people had used their damn common sense to ask a guy with a nazi tattoo to drop out. bsky.app/profile/esqu...

If the Democratic Party as an institution had any integrity, they’d have made this man drop out so long ago. It should be political suicide for him to continue as he is. I don’t even know what to realistically hope for anymore when it comes to Maine. So frustratingly preventable.

Welp, this is a goddamn nightmare.

A lot of them have come online (at least partially) since then and more people are experiencing the malign effects. Plus there's a lot more awareness of what the tech oligarchs are doing/funding/corrupting/bribing. Tying these threats together is going to be essential.

Here's part three. IMHO you kind of need to go through the whole thing for any of it to make sense. Especially through part two, but if you really want to get the full force of the thing, get all the way through. There's a case I'm making and if you want to see how it all fits together....

Here's part two: www.lifeisasacredtext.com/jesus2/

I have been asked to share my theory about Jesus and "the Pharisees." I have a very specific one. I'm doing so. But it's gonna take three posts to do it properly, and will involve a lot of comparing Gospel passages to Rabbinic texts. Part One dropped today: www.lifeisasacredtext.com/pharisees/

Wait a minute — Iran (who Trump said has no military) bombed the shit out of Kuwait last night in retaliation for us striking them in a war Marco Rubio just yesterday, told Congress was “over”? Do they think we’re all fucking stupid?

If this is true, and I suspect it is, this would mean the earliest an MOU about a potential continuation of the ceasefire for a 60 day negotiation of a peace can happen is probably July -- if they start now. Get your car lubed today.

Happy Pride! Every day for Pride 2026, I will be highlighting a Black, Brown, or Indigenous queer person, because we're not whitewashing Pride this year. Today is @mskellymhayes.bsky.social, a queer Indigenous activist and author.

Can I leave the planet now, please. I don’t like it here.

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.

For those talking about the lack of food in ICE facilities, you should know that jails and prisons regularly starve people to death. This is not a rare occurrance. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

But if we abolish the police who will accuse YouTubers of having heroin on them when they actively solve grand larcenies and attempt to do their legally obligated due diligence in seeking civil restitution after cops repeatedly say they do not handle $200k larcenies bc it is a civil thing, larceny

Part of the reason not to nominate a guy like Platner is that you know it's going to be one shoe after another after another dropping for months. Even if you think nothing we already know by x date is disqualifying, your prediction should be that there's more that we just don't know *yet.*

Daily bunny no.3335 has a small allergy

the media coverage of Platner has largely been extremely favorable to him/gullible about his claims and that his multiple red flags are finally becoming a proper story is not a sign that they're biased against him, but that they're doing reporting.

I cannot stress this enough: It is SO EASY to not say racial slurs. Like ridiculously easy.

People are going to spend a lot of time talking about Platner’s <> and not enough time talking about the fact that this has been a humiliation for his wife, who confided in the people who then ran to the NYT and WSJ:

The Trump administration has deported 21,000 immigrants to places that the US State Department calls too dangerous for Americans to visit. The overwhelming majority of those deported had no criminal convictions, and at least 600 were children. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Outsourcing harm ... "Trump administration deported 21,000 to places US calls too dangerous to visit. The overwhelming majority of those deported had no criminal convictions, and at least 600 were children." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I promise you that if you are a white retiree whose home is worth >$1 million there is no sense in which you are the victim of redlining.

All y'all had to do was vote for the Black Asian Woman with the Jewish husband. But y'all's bigotry selfishness and pick-me-activist energy was more important than <gestures towards literally everything> Fuck alla y'all forever

I am coming to your computer (or your tablet or your phone or even your TV, I think) on June 7 for a virtual convention that needs a much better name than Couch Con, because at this moment in time, that's ... uh ... not what this is.

None of this would be happening if Kamala Harris were president. None of it. And we fucking told you so.

Oscar winner and San Francisco resident Marcia Lucas — the former wife of George Lucas who edited the original “Star Wars,” “American Graffiti” and “Taxi Driver” —  has died.

let's be clear, let's be very clear, let's be incredibly clear about something: Marcia Lucas is why you love Star Wars. She's why Star Wars worked. She's why it has heart. She's responsible for the in-media-res beginning, she's responsible for basically everything charming and unique about >

Yes. There’s so much in this book about directors divorcing their smart wives, sometimes to go after younger women. www.simonandschuster.com/books/Easy-R...

Wouldja believe film editing used to be dismissed as "women's work."

A Washington state jury found three protesters guilty of federal conspiracy charges for sitting in front of an ICE bus that was attempting to relocate prisoners last year. They face a maximum sentence of six years in prison and/or $250,000 in fines. Important reporting from @rangemedia.co:

With so many people transitioning into full service work I just wanted to say - Stand firm on your boundaries, stay safe and have an excellent whore summer 💜☀️

Meta has been blocking human rights accounts from reaching audiences in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. EFF joined ALQST and 10 other organizations in calling on Meta to restore access to accounts and provide more transparency about their practices www.alqst.org/en/post/met...

Just cut to the chase. It's gonna be Kid Rock, Niki Minaj, Lee Greenwood, and Struggle Ruffles Huckabee's daddy on sax. www.ms.now/news/artists...

A very important thing to remember.

Congress has a clear choice to make when it returns next week – side with destruction or fight for the reforms that the majority of Americans are demanding.

Jonathan once believed that Israel “had no choice but to fight in Gaza”. Today the former IDF soldier is “ashamed” of what he and his platoon did to Palestinians. www.economist.com/interactive/...

Lotta people, observing the empirical evidence, said Bovino’s a nazi. Many establishmentarians said they had “concerns” but insisted we resist “hyperbole.” Now, retired, first thing Bovino does? Speaks at a nazi confab.

Happy Pride 2026!

Preaching this morning!
