What timeline is this?! Here to be informed and trying not to lose my mind. (I want to be nice, but F*** Trump, Musk, etc., ad nauseum, ad infinitum). I know, I vent and rant too much...I'm angry right now.

I'll just go out and say it: I've never seen a (white) boy called a 13-year-old man. I've never heard the words "underaged man" at all.

I love that The Guardian provides context. I remember when more newspapers used to do this.
Texas attorney general Ken Paxton, who fled his own impeachment hearings and refused a court order to release his travel records after speaking at the rally in Washington that preceded the January 6 insurrection, has described wayward Democratic legislators as “cowards”.

Perhaps the most hypocritical offenders are the members of the Magnificent Seven. Google’s unofficial motto was once “Don’t be evil,” but now the company has joined Amazon to provide cloud computing services to Israel and its military for a persuasive $1.2bn. Albanese quotes an Israeli colonel who calls this technology “a weapon in every sense of the word”, a cloud as deadly as any poison gas.

Some advocates have accused the EPA of being captured by industry, and Donley said US pesticide laws were so weak that it was difficult for the agency to ban ingredients, even if the will exists. For example, the agency banned chlorpyrifos in 2022, but a court overturned the decision after industry sued.

Here it is: although it could be fake, I suppose. But it seems like something our new kingdom of Trumpland does regularly now.

Scary SCOTUS Day Happy Friday. There are 494 days until the midterm elections. The brain worm idiot is messing with our flu shots, a coup plotter is disbarred and a scary SCOTUS day. Adam Parkhomenko and Sam Youngman Jun 27

The attacks against Zohran Mamdani have already started, and they are really fucking gross. Trump is already on the warpath, right-wing billionaires are trying to fund write-in campaigns and the New York Times is accusing him of “anti-Israel activism.” This is the exact same shit they did to a fella named Barack Obama. The rich people are freaking out, which tells us Mamdani needs to win. More: The Guardian

From The Guardian 26Jun:
"Spanish prime minister Pedro Sanchez on Thursday said Gaza was in a “catastrophic situation of genocide” and urged the EU to immediately suspend its cooperation deal with Israel, Reuters reports."
Spanish prime minister Pedro Sanchez on Thursday said Gaza was in a “catastrophic situation of genocide” and urged the EU to immediately suspend its cooperation deal with Israel, Reuters reports. Speaking to reporters before an EU summit in Brussels, Sanchez mentioned a recent human rights report by the bloc’s diplomatic service which, he said, addressed “the catastrophic situation of genocide unfolding in Gaza”.

During his time in government—a period in which DOGE sought to dismantle large parts of the federal bureaucracy, obtained direct access to sensitive federal payment systems, and worked to join siloed systems together to enable surveillance of people in the US—Coristine appeared at the GSA, Office of Personnel Management, the US Agency for International Development, the Department of Education, and the Small Business Administration. Coristine, who has gone by the handle “Big Balls” online, is a 19-year-old high school graduate who worked at Neuralink for several

A friend in LA just texted me this. Drone flights restricted over areas of ICE activity. Gruesome thugs.

So, just more lying. Can't endorse Kamala but now... takesies backsies.
Remember how the New York Times made a big deal of saying they were done endorsing candidates and then this week they reversed that and endorsed Cuomo but in a chickenshit way? Well the NYT’s opinion editor says they were “imprecise” when they announced the no endorsements policy. If you need that translated, “imprecise” means full of shit. More: Columbia Journalism Review

As Keir Starmer considers whether Britain should support the US if Donald Trump decides to bomb Iran, the attorney general, Richard Hermer, has reportedly warned him that UK involvement could be illegal. The prime minister was an outspoken opponent of the Iraq war when he was a human rights lawyer in 2003 and will be well aware of the thorny legal issues around engagement in strikes against Iran.

Judge Sotomayor:
“Male (but not female) adolescents can receive medicines that help them look like boys, and female (but not male) adolescents can receive medicines that help them look like girls,” Sotomayor wrote. “By retreating from meaningful judicial review exactly where it matters most, the Court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims. In sadness, I dissent.” judge Sotomayor

"We" ???!!!!
“We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there - We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now. But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social. He followed up with a second post a few minutes later, writing: “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” In a post published about thirty minutes earlier, Trump said, “We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran.”

Additional footage of the arrest shows Lander telling immigration officials: “I’m not obstructing. I’m standing right here in the hallway. I asked to see the judicial warrant. “You don‘t have the authority to arrest US citizens asking for a judicial warrant,” Lander can be heard saying. The officials then pinned Lander to a wall and put him in handcuffs. It remains unclear why he was arrested.

The man, Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, 39, had apparently been shot by a man who had been part of the event’s peacekeeping team. “Our victim was not the intended target,” Brian Redd, the Salt Lake City police chief, said, “but rather an innocent bystander participating in the demonstration.”

"DEMOCRATS STOKE WW3" ... MAGA propaganda is dangerous.
On these platforms, the protests are less a news event than a justification for the authoritarian use of force. Nearly every image or video contains selectively chosen visuals of burning cars or Mexican flags unfurling in a smog of tear gas, and they’re cycled on repeat to create a sense of overwhelming chaos. They have titles such as “CIVIL WAR ALERT” and “DEMOCRATS STOKE WW3!” All of this incendiary messaging is assisted by generative-AI images of postapocalyptic, smoldering city streets—pure propaganda to fill the gap between reality and the world as the MAGA faithful wish to see it.

It shows that not only is Bluesky more than just a Twitter/X alternative, it’s just one app in a wider social ecosystem built on open technology — and that’s bigger than just building another X.

new and arguably more problematic language in its place. This bill would require that anyone seeking a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction against the federal government first post a bond that covers the costs and damages that would be sustained to the federal government, in the event it loses the case. We’re talking millions if not billions of dollars being required upfront, effectively shutting off people’s ability to sue the Trump administration.

Because, of course the Trump administration and his MAGAts are... JUST. THIS. GrOSS.
But on Tuesday, the vendor, 365 Campaign, was on the Army base anyway, and soldiers purchased clothing and items like "Make America Great Again" chain necklaces and faux credit cards labeled "White Privilege Card: Trumps Everything."
