BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

The Trump administration’s decision to lift #sanctions on a Putin-backed Bosnian Serb separatist leader follows a range of lobbying and advocacy and comes in advance of a Russia-led #UNSecurityCouncil meeting on Bosnia.

The propaganda spewing from Trump's departments and agencies blaming Democrats for the government shutdown is blatantly illegal. We have the Hatch Act for a reason. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-trump-regime-is-wildly-violating

Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?
A new Noem video is being played at airports trashing Democrats.

A new report from Bright Line Watch finds experts now rate the U.S. as a "mixed" or "illiberal" democracy. The rating is dragged down by Trump's attacks on institutions, a weak legislature, political violence, and partisan gerrymandering www.gelliottmorris.com/p/experts-no...

4th deadly US strike on a boat in the Caribbean.

As with the others:
-in area US military operates freely
-arrest low risk
-no legal rationale
-violates international law
-no evidence of who US hit

If really traffickers—very much an if—the move is interdiction. Would get evidence and intelligence.

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Important to keep remembering and repeating that Kimmel didn't mock Charlie Kirk or celebrate his death in the monologue. He mocked the president's lack of feeling and criticized the regime.

So this is what happens when you try to access the 2024 DOJ-funded study on political violence - they didn't like the facts, so censored them. Meanwhile, the MAGAverse falsely claim that violence in the US comes from the left.

🚨BREAKING: It seems very clear that the Administration decided not to abide by the court's order. The question now is what will the judge do. Does he proceed with contempt or something short of that to defuse.

Upping the stakes is the fact that the AG and her senior staff signed this notice.

Former #Philippines president #Duterte was arrested last week on an #InternationalCriminalCourt warrant

Among the reasons the case is notable, writes Jenny Domino, is “what it means for victims seeking justice for the killings in the Philippine ‘war on drugs.’”
