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...

"Suspending habeas corpus was one of two radical ideas Mr. Miller had been pushing that alarmed Mr. Scharf. The other was invoking the Insurrection Act to deploy the military to enforce the law on American streets as protests grew against deportation sweeps." GiftLink www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

HALAL FOOD: Delicious, or Economic Warfare?

I know it's probably hopeless, but I'm fecking BEGGING American media to NOT minimize the #Belfast racist riots that targeted minority businesses and homes #Belfast as "unrest", "protests" that got a bit "disorderly" or any such bullshit. This literal whitewashing is dangerous & irresponsible.

Across the country, resistance to tech harms are now the cultural zeitgeist. As organized in this work, we see it as critical to expand our demands beyond "privacy" towards lives lived with dignity. https://truthout.org/articles/resistance-to-flock-cameras-and-police-surveillance-is-exploding/

For 20 years, the Tonawanda Seneca Nation has resisted industrial development next to Big Woods, a site of cultural and practical significance. Now the Nation and the Allies of the Tonawanda Seneca Nation are organizing against a proposed data center.

The FBI raided and arrested eight people Wednesday morning in connection with their alleged pro-Palestine advocacy at the University of Michigan

Really good piece "Tech is hellbent on replacing us these days, hellbent on replacing our jobs, replacing our art, replacing our livelihoods, reducing us to servitude and blind consumption. But it can’t quite pull this off—any time it tries, the results are either soulless or weirdly off..."

INVESTIGATION: 🚨 A Polymarket exec used a personal PayPal account to pay major political influencers like Riley Gaines and Brian Krassenstein, who then hyped how "accurate" Polymarket is at predicting outcomes. We uncovered $350,000+ flowing to influencers this way www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

This is not only a huge privacy and safety issue but I really need more reporting about how "requires government issued ID" is also essentially a tax because those IDs ain't free.

Trump may already be deporting newborn Americans while the Supreme Court dawdles on birthright citizenship: pregnant teenagers in immigration detention having been giving birth to U.S. citizens but those girls and their babies are now missing ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/birth...

“The future being built is one in which the camera is no longer just a camera, the phone is no longer just a phone, and glasses are no longer just glasses. They are portals into identity systems. They make the face a query and turn public presence into searchable data.” 💀

The directive from Bari Weiss to make the protesters killed by ICE look “more violent” came after Scott Pelley voluntarily had already gone to great pains to make them look violent in the first place:

NEW YORK (AP) — A New Jersey police sergeant has been charged with stealing $10,000 worth of cameras and other equipment from a photojournalist who had been injured covering tense protests outside a Newark immigration jail.

The AI industry’s primary super PAC has been secretly running an X account pretending to be an anti AI doomer that posted about killing AI executives and destroying data centers.

RIP Marjane Satrapi (1969-2026)

Last night, the Supreme Court ruled that the VRA cannot protect even against *intentionally* discriminatory voting policies When we say there is no federal statute remaining the enforce the 15th Amendment, this is what we mean

This is exactly the approach we need to take on "Teen Takeovers." The responses outlined here would actually make the city better for teens instead of the current approach of giving CPD more overtime money to make everyone miserable

SCOOP: I got exclusive internal documents from the white supremacist group Patriot Front, showing the group is in 49 states and has grown fast. The docs outline strict rules on propaganda and show the group’s expansion into racist “active clubs”: www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Chloe Cole receives $2k/month as a "senior fellow" with Do No Harm. She gets paid $5k/month per speaking engagement. She makes $200k/year doing this. It's insane just how much money is flowing through the anti-trans ecosystem. www.erininthemorning.com/p/chloe-cole...

I want to uplift the "white supremacist" part because we're all in this fight together. Do No Harm, at its founding, was a lobbying group concerned with ensuring there were fewer Black doctors in America and too much being done to prevent Black patients from having worse health outcomes.

Member states and the European Parliament have struck a deal on the Return Regulation to build deportation camps (aka return hubs) in faraway countries. It’s a turning point for migration policy. The EU migration enters uncharted territory.
