I was in eviction court today, defending a quintessential little old lady (seriously, she's so sweet and loves her cats). Anyway, a white woman was getting evicted in the case immediately after mine. She didn't get a lawyer, because she said she didn't think she needed one. (Cont)

The EU has agreed on new rules to speed up how regulators use its flagship data protection law to go after technology giants like Meta, Google, X and others.

nothing but the Nick Kurtz walkoff HR bat flip

"'If Dems bail on [the GENIUS Act], they will get 0 dollars going forward,' said Avichal Garg, a managing partner at the venture capital firm Electric Capital, which focuses on digital asset technology like cryptocurrency. 'It would be political suicide for them not to support it.'"

just incredible lmao

On the assassin of the Minnesota lawmakers, Jon Stewart said he doesn't care why the guy did it or "whether he listened to NPR or FOX News." Then floats funds for mental health and to stop illegal weapons. *Why* he did it tells you a lot! I'm tired of this refusal to accept what's happening here.

I am one of the people who will lose access to her lifesaving medications because of this bill.

This is beyond the military industrial complex - basically a pure merger of public military power and private interests breakingdefense.com/2025/06/andu...

Watch: For years the F-35 jet fighter helped the U.S. achieve both air superiority and billions in trade but President Trump’s recent rhetoric has forced some American allies to reconsider their reliance on the aircraft.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

Wow Jon Stewart. Tonight he said that although MAGATs have said they don’t want to send the US into another foreign war precisely because they actually want to start a civil war. Dude almost always nails it.

Favorite part of that sequence is the Padres pitcher who didn't even have his pants on and was on the verge of having to go out for the "fight". Baseball.

NEW: A data broker owned by major airlines sold domestic US flight data to DHS, telling the dept. not to disclose that, according to records obtained by @404media.co—copublished in partnership with @wired.com. No paywall bc FOIA @josephcox.bsky.social w/ the scoop: www.wired.com/story/airlin...

This is the real reason he’s leaving G7

There’s stupid … and then there’s Trump Stupid. That’s a whole other level of stupid.

Undoubtably still furious about the protests that’s likely what’s behind it all.

No one hates Trump’s voters more than Trump himself.

it is time to shut down the mormons like japan did to unification church and aum shinrikyo. clear your big goofy temple out, that shit aint real and you know it

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

I think “prosecute every ICE employee” is the best deal those Nazi fucks should expect to get.

Can’t wait to see it.

The armed, yellow-vested "peacekeepers" at the Utah 50501 protest in Salt Lake City opened fire into a crowd, hitting two people: A Sāmoan fashion designer with two young kids, who died. A second-generation Venezuelan immigrant and antiracist protester who was legally carrying. Cops charged HIM.

Thou shalt expel Mike Lee from the Senate and banish him from society, for he mocked and celebrated the murder of a political opponent.

really good that like 1 in 5 americans talk to this thing about their private lives like it's their therapist

They aren’t mistaken because they’ve been helping ICE. Don’t get it twisted this is their own fault.

@smith.senate.gov: "I think [Mike Lee] was sort of stunned to be coming face to face with somebody who was really calling him out on his bullshit... The way that people like Mike Lee and others on the right take advantage of the worst kind of human tragedy and political violence... is unacceptable."

fighting lower back pain while fighting fascism

saying that someone “no longer has any legal interests” because they’re dead is the sort of claim you might wanna run by a lawyer before publishing in The Atlantic

He's really mad about the birthday party and the protests

Free speech absolutism strikes again.

A powerful message to opposition leaders, dissidents, cooperators, operatives and allies in Iran, Russia, and around the globe. After you are done risking your life to help us, we will sell you out and screw you over. Because the current govt will use you and discard you.

Well, that didn't last long. DHS told staff it was reversing guidance issued last week that agents were not to conduct immigration raids at farms, hotels and restaurants. Shadow President Stephen Miller wins again. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

we're now too evil & corrupt for FIFA & the olympic council to respectably abide, which is a kinda "wow" level of gutter low

They're just arresting organizers now.

Whaaaaaat the fuck

A secret group chat reveals that Democratic strategists plan to support the pro-crypto GENIUS Act for political gain, despite acknowledging it’s a Trump corruption giveaway. www.levernews.com/dems-crypto-...

Holy crap. The US-UK trade deal is a blank sheet of paper and only Trump signed it. (Genuine screen grab).

Men like this saved our lives time and time again to see the US turn its backs on these heroes is beyond something most can describe that anyone on the right would even understand because they support a fucking draft dodging coward who pisses himself when faced with real strongmen.

reminder to all comrades to stay/get strapped it's going to get worse before we can make it better

LAPD shoves an unhoused woman to the ground so hard her skull cracks open and she’s knocked unconscious. They then carry her to the curb, prop her up and abandon her. Witnesses took her to the ER.

Likud Lurch is at it again

"The US Army today will direct commission four tech executives at the rank of Lt. Colonel" How much you wanna bet these guys insist on being addressed as Lt Colonel by, like, their kids
