Sexual misconduct by lawmakers is widespread — but often goes unreported New data from the nonprofit National Women’s Defense League, shared first with The 19th, comes on the heels of the resignations of two members of Congress.

Exclusive: new research from the National Women’s Defense League and shared first with The 19th, has tracked 30 allegations of workplace sexual misconduct against members of Congress made since 2006 — a number the report’s authors say is likely 3-4x higher in reality 19thnews.org/2026/04/sexu...

Rivian and Redwood announce energy storage partnership Rivian and Redwood Materials are deploying the first repurposed EV battery storage system at a U.S. auto plant, delivering 10 MWh of second-life capacity at Rivian's Normal, IL facility.

Very cool: Rivian sends old batteries to Redwood, who hooks them all up via its special sauce, and now the batteries are helping power a Rivian manufacturing plant!

Closed loop starting to come into sight ...

Actually, I’ve explained this MANY TIMES

This generation of Black ppl vote MORE than any generation since we got the right to vote

But after the 1st Black was elected, WHITE PPL began turning out in historic numbers to vote for Trump. As this graph CLEARLY shows…

The “crisis” is white people.

As morbid as it sounds, the stories of domestic violence and murder shouldn’t stop with the crime itself.

What happens to the woman’s property / assets when her husband kills her? Do they go to him?

Should women start making secret wills / directives if they are in abusive relationships ?

If you kill your wife, you don't get to be a husband anymore Some lessons from the media coverage of Dr. Cerina Fairfax and Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer's murders.

My latest.

I’ve been watching the media coverage of the murders of Dr. Cerina Fairfax and Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer.

One way media can fight back against male violence:

If you kill your wife, you don’t get to be called a “husband” any more.

You’re her killer.

I’m going to be annoyed for life by the way people convinced themselves that opposing things like racism and transphobia meant you’d been “duped” by elites.

A photo of a tray with three sections empty. One has chopped carrot in it. The other has what can only be described as a posit of brown dog vomit and an insole liner of a sneaker (or a used panty liner from the mid 1700s). The kind of meal that would have you happily tossing yourself overboard.

NEW: Growing fears of food shortages on USS Tripoli & other US ships in the Middle East.

This photo is the kind of meals now being served. It was sent by a sailor to her family.

Families are now trying to send food parcels to the ships.

I would say that #2 needs to be not "have to be ready" but "have to demand" because if there are no consequences and people just reap multiple billions of dollars in personal profit this will happen again.

The Illinois State House just passed HB 5511, a bill that will require EVERY WEBSITE and EVERY APP to implement an age verification check.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov has pushed this hard and it’s Meta’s preferred solution to avoid liability.

It is like they aren't willing to engage with the prospect, that is *competitive* authoritarianism. We don't know what, if any, democracy repairing steps will occur or if they will stick?
Also excellent list. Because undoing the embedded part is going to be what those pundits are loudest about.

You try to explain to folks, that most of the non-college towns in (east) central Illinois were sundown towns in the recent past and they disbelieve you. Natives *know* that history and the thin veneer covering it today. Like you said, same song, just a different year.

AI Use Appears to Have a "Boiling Frog" Effect on Human Cognition, New Study Warns A new study claims to offer the first causal link between AI dependency and cognitive erosion. Researchers warn of long-term implications.

NEW: A new pre-print study offers the first causal evidence that outsourcing reasoning tasks to AI can rapidly erode users' independent performance AND their will to persist despite difficulty.

"People’s persistence drops... they’re also not willing to try without AI.”

By dismantling the lie that vulnerability is weakness. Black men need space-mentorship, therapy, where they can express, heal, & unlearn. Safe spaces: dismantle toxic masculinity & embrace vulnerability. Therapy & community. Honest dialogue, no judgment. Introspection & empathy: Real men heal.

Imagine a study that found kids with ADHD have more visits to doctors than kids without ADHD — and used that finding to suggest ADHD treatment doesn't work. That's the standard of evidence the anti-trans braintrust is willing to accept.
