A majority of Americans now support public school teachers *leading* students in prayer. That's what a new Pew survey found, and it should alarm anyone who cares about church-state separation. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/yikes-most...

The president is inciting again

This is a really really weird way to be thinking about people I'm sorry

A Texas judge refused to marry gay couples because of her Christian beliefs. She got a mild warning. She sued. The courts just handed her $640,000. In case you were wondering if anti-gay discrimination could be a profitable side hustle... www.friendlyatheist.com/p/texas-judg...

Give it a read, and please boost and/or donate to the Ten Four. I'm currently between homes and between phones, and investigative work like this can be difficult to find a home for in the current climate. latenfour.com/2026/06/25/l...

This is further reporting on a story I've been working for several months, and includes a whole bunch of information previously nowhere seen including that the LA DA has declined charges against at least two officers embroiled in the Mission Division gang scandal.

Pretty big story here. First on it. LAPD officers accused of discrimination and unlawful searches, according to internal disciplinary records that also identify them as participants in what California law defines as a law enforcement gang. latenfour.com/2026/06/25/l...

“The panel, known as the Rent Guidelines Board, approved the freeze on both one- and two-year leases in a 7-to-1 vote, pausing increases on more than 40 percent of all apartments across the five boroughs” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/25/n...

“Don’t call us Nazis” Stephen Miller:

Compare Alito's description of Trump's racist statements (on the left) to Justice Kagan's anthology of Trump's racist statements (on the right). These are passages from this morning's opinions in Mullin v. Doe.

UPDATE: A majority of the board voted to CUT references to "The Black Robe Regiment" from 2nd-grade lessons. Instead, they'd learn that "pastors who preached about freedom inspired America's independence" and that "some" served in the army. There is still a final vote on the curricula on Friday.

suboptimal to me that the richest man on the planet believes this

And PAGER is up. Very likely more than 1,000 dead from this earthquake and likely in the 10,000 range. Damage estimates in the $10+ billion range, 2% to 20% of Venezuela's GDP. Shit.

A UN commission of inquiry report details how Israel deliberately kills Palestinian children Chris Sidoti recounts how Israeli soldiers shot a 14yr old in the occupied West Bank, then stood around him for 45mins while he bled to death, preventing any help from getting to him.

they have absolutely nothing to base their assertions on other than their own internalized antisemitism. the jewish left is every bit as invested in jewish spiritual and cultural life as the jewish center and right. jfrej is practically the social justice programming of brooklyn's kolot chayeinu.

The Supreme Court has spent years expanding "religious freedom" for conservative Christians. But when a Rastafarian prisoner had his hair forcibly shaved in violation of federal law, SCOTUS ruled he has no meaningful remedy. Funny how that works. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/scotus-say...

Whoa. Tony Spell, the pastor who held large, maskless, super-spreader church services during COVID, was arrested again. This time, he ran across a highway to beat up one of his critics. As one does in the name of Jesus. www.wbrz.com/news/pastor-...

“It signals common cause to a core audience of hardline Christian nationalists while remaining deniable as mere Americana. It can gesture toward neo-Nazi adjacent America First politics while retaining the cover of maritime history.”

The primary season is not over yet. And already, the number of Democratic socialists in Congress is set to double. Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier, and Chris Rabb will join Bernie Sanders, Rashida Tlaib, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. And there may yet be more to come.

Decision Desk HQ projects Darializa Chevalier wins the NY US House 13 Democratic Primary #DecisionMade: 9:49 PM EDT

RESULT: Claire Valdez has won the open Democratic primary in #NY07, and so is virtually certain to head to Congress in 2027. Valdez is the second of the Zohran Mamdani-backed congressional candidates to win in tonight's major Dem primaries, after Brad Lander.

I visited Provo late last year to cover an early hearing re: cameras in the courtroom, which has been the main focus of the previous hearings, but the pre-trial is finally moving forward. Next month will be a series of evidentiary hearings in the Robinson trial, help us continue covering it.

Hey everyone! Next month in Provo, @azrww.bsky.social & I are covering the far-right media circus around the trial of the man charged with shooting Charlie Kirk. We're raising funds for travel, lodging, food & writers' pay. Check out the link below or our pinned tweet to contribute!

Pump.Fun started out as a platform where people could launch and hype their own memecoins. But as that particular boom began to fade, it announced a new feature that allows users to "pay anyone to do anything." The result is a chilling glimpse into global inequality and exploitation.

NEW: Insane screwup inside Meta. The company exposed worker keystroke data that was being used to train AI — making it potentially accessible to anyone at the company. The data included personnel and performance info, private convos, full transcriptions…imagine your coworkers seeing all of that.

Mamdani: When I am speaking about AIPAC, I’m speaking about an organization that has fought any attempt to actually deliver safety to people not just in Palestine but, frankly, throughout much of the region. And it is a status quo of immorality. It is one that I will not accept.
