We've been tracking nearly 200 lawsuits against the Trump administration over its attempts to leverage federal funding to impose the president's agenda.
The most startling pattern: The administration seems entirely undeterred when it loses in court.

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.
I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.
Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.
Hundreds of armed agents used flash bangs and rubber bullets to detain hundreds of people — including children and U.S. citizens — at a family horserace event as part of an immigration raid that looked more like a military operation.
We're suing to get justice.

OpenAI fired a VP who opposed their erotica rollout (and had started a company-wide peer mentorship program for women), allegedly telling her it was because she discriminated against a man 🤔 www.wsj.com/tech/ai/open...

Career communications staff at the Dept of Labor were ignored and many resigned when a 21 year old starting posting white nationalist meme. Now he is going to DHS. This is who prospers under the clicktatorship.

Ring is going all in on AI with their new Search Party tool which they introduced in a cute lil commercial about locating a dog.

My sense of Minnesota today is that there’s less tear gas and the same amount of unlawful detention, destruction of families, loss of livelihood, people in hiding.
There is less tear gas at places like Lake and Lyndale, so it’s not making news.
When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.
Hudson Valley NY. I always feel like you can layer up, but once you get down to skin, you're done. I hate the summer here in NC.
This is brilliant

Expect more silence from the Royal Society in the face of their most notorious fellow advocating for the overthrow of the democratically elected government of a country he is neither a citizen nor a resident of (yet he is a fellow of their most prestigious learned society).
News Analysis: Defiance has defined Brazil’s response to President Trump since he began trying to bully the country into dropping the charges against former President Jair Bolsonaro.
I'm starting to collect movies and books. There is the risk of losing some good works given the current environment.
Watching all these centrist pundits stress the “civility” of Charlie Kirk’s style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizens’ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.
It's a knee jerk reaction
Yep. Every time.

The Holocaust denier who has spent the last four years waging social violence against trans people and set up a BILLION POUND fund to wage lawfare against innocent people is now quoting Mein Kampf. But sure, tell me I need to widen my tent for people who disagree with me.
Footage of the Minnesota assassin Vance Luther Boelter, a life long registered republican and "Christian" nationalist incel that hated women. He's 100% MAGA.
It is extraordinary, but grimly inevitable, that the people most responsible for hobbling the UK have become the loudest & whiniest critics of the consequences of their own actions. A big part of the process lies in people like ‘Lord’ Hannan actually being *rewarded* for their ignorant delinquency.

A trans woman was ambushed by well-known anti-trans campaigners outside the ladies loo on the parliamentary estate.
And the story is <checks notes> about the trans woman, not the absolute fucking obsessive weirdos who confronted her.
Ghouls.
This is so grim.
‘Then the toilet policewoman returned and took up position in front of me. She looked a little ashamed, and she touched a now-gentler hand to my arm.
‘“It’s not me,” she said. “It’s just the way things are now.”’
Just the way things are now.

There's a new parenting style where you do the opposite of what the pediatrician recommends (co-sleeping, amber necklaces, no vaccines, etc) and I wonder what is even the point of seeing me if you have all the answers?
