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.

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which was gutted last year. If Bezos can spend $500M on a yacht, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Tech billionaire Marc Andreessen is reportedly getting involved w/ DOGE. He’s also invested in the “network state” movement led by Balaji Srinivasan, which aims 2 build crypto-based countries w/in existing states via the creation of “parallel institutions” like X. Listen. 1/

The amazing thing about this saga is how the pitchers are being turned into martyrs by the Right despite the minor detail that they faced absolutely 0 consequences of note and indeed the most striking aspect of the whole thing is how the Giants org gave them total leeway to break the rules

Admission of guilt. It wasn’t a last minute decision, but discussed “for weeks.” Vitello knew about it, others too. If this isn’t sympathetic of the greater disharmony in the clubhouse and lack of leadership, I don’t know what is. In the end, this is on Vitello and Posey. 🖕 #SFGiants #HATeGate

I need y’all to remember this: Trump gets to keep Air Force One. It cost taxpayers nearly $1 billion to upgrade, and before he leaves office, ownership transfers to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation, which he himself said is “most likely going to be a hotel.”

These guys need to leave ASAP. You don’t get to play for a team, then insult the entire fan base in the name of “religion.” I hope fans boycott the team till these 4 are gone. Don’t go to games, don’t watch on tv, don’t buy/wear merch, nothing. www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant...

How did people hear of the end of slavery? The testimonies from five men and women from four different states recount how they heard and responded to the news of their freedom.

There is an entire TV show (Love on the Spectrum) devoted to people with autism dating

Quintessential Trump: In 2025, Trump axed the program to combat New World Screwworm, stating that they had "saved" $1.5 million a year. In 2026, the Trump announces a $1 billion emergency program to combat the Screwworm outbreak. $1 billion would have funded the old program for 667 years.

Journalists have a duty to tell the public that the president and his aides are seriously considering suspending habeas corpus *when it is happening* rather than saving it for a book rollout over a year later

SM council has to deal with a vacancy on the planning commission. One of the candidates is controversial. Public comment summarized:

Occam’s Razor: White House staff keep doing a Goodbye, Lenin to the president, but his memory resets every 36 hours.

NEW | The IDF struck an apartment in Dahiyeh this morning in response to Hezbollah’s recent attacks on northern Israel. Here’s what that means for a US-Iran deal to end the war: 1/9

I wish people would stop treating me like I’m stupid just because I’m neurodivergent. #ADHD

The trillionaire mark is just a milestone. Musk already had enough money to personally buy a whole company or single-handedly influence a presidential election. But we should consider what it means that one man has amassed so much wealth and power — and the speed at which he is doing so.

I've reported on Musk for around 8 years. I've co-authored a book on him. I don't think folks understand the rate of his wealth accumulation. Shortly after he helped elect Donald Trump in Nov 2024, his net worth was around $350 billion. That net worth has nearly tripled in less than two years.

Yes, exactly this. Be vocal about it. Demand better if your leaders and organizations.

When you accept that Elon Musk turned the once-Twitter into the new 8chan, the enduring presence of democratic (and Democratic) organizations on there becomes gross and delegitimizing. 8chan had normal context mixed in with the owner-approve abuse, just like X. We need to treat it the same way.

WE DON’T NEED A FUCKING TREATMENT WE HAVE A VACCINE THAT IS 97% EFFECTIVE AND COULD ERADICATE THE DISEASE IF WE DIDN’T HAVE ANTIVAX GRIFTERS LEADING US 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/w...

Will one (1) single business or tech media outlet story do a piece on how the CEO of SpaceX making a full-throated decision endorsement pf violent race riots will negatively effect their upcoming IPO? I will Venmo the author of such a piece $100, $250 if your editor rejects the pitch.

As a reader, I love libraries! I can't afford every single book that I read in a year. And I'm avoiding major retailers like Amazon/B&N when I can. So the library is great! Ebooks, audiobooks, and visits for physical copies. My Libby/Hoopla always has something borrowed at any moment.

A nugget buried in the big & impressive NYT piece on how the Trump White House had an internal freak-out over the Epstein case....If Bondi didn't use DOJ email, what did she use? I recall a time when the right (and the NYT) went ballistic over a Cabinet official's use of non-government email.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Tom Steyer just lit $216 million on fire. I think all of us can come up with better ways to spend that money here in CA. What programs or institutions would you fund that are getting the shaft in the budget?

I've been a broken record on this for three years and I'll be a broken record for as long as that fucking website exists: X is a viciously racist far-right organising platform that ONLY WORKS because a huge number of centrists, lefties and progressivs cannot stop propping it up

The guy next to him is asleep too!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@nextdoorsv.bsky.social highly recommend watching Hillsborough council meetings. They’re currently talking about a property owner who has asked for a grading permit to build a spa, “sports court”, and to redo their driveway. This is on top of building an ADU since 2023. Council is like wtf

Please open your sample ballot and look at EVERY non-partisan candidate. CALL your local DemHq and review each asking who they recommend (and why). Mark the sample ballot AND USE IT. DO THE HOMEWORK, PLEASE💙

NEW: Ukrainian forces have largely halted the Russian Spring-Summer 2026 offensive so far, and Russian forces in May 2026 have gained a presence in only a fraction of the territory they did in May 2026. (1/6) Read the Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, June 1, 2026: isw.pub/UkrWar060126

5/ The suspension of negotiations further indicates that Vahidi and his inner circle are driving Iranian decision-making and have likely gained the upper hand over proponents of a deal, particularly Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.

4/ Vahidi and his inner circle also likely calculate that the status quo will help them advance several other objectives, such as solidifying Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz and maintaining the Iranian nuclear program.

3/ The regime also likely seeks to drive a wedge between the United States and Israel by falsely blaming Israel and its operations in Lebanon for the collapse of the US-Iran talks.

2/ The Iranian regime has likely focused on the Lebanon issue, as opposed to another key sticking point in negotiations, to try to curb Israeli operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon as part of the regime’s broader objective to preserve Hezbollah.
