It's not a fun read, but it's an important read. DHS is out of control and must be stopped. Falsehoods continue to be presented as facts. Trump doesn't know what's going on because he doesn't read. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/june-1-2025 (h/t @hcrichardson.bsky.social )

This may save millions of lives--except in the US, where ignorant kook Robert Kennedy Jr will probably ban it because of some ridiculous, totally made-up reason.

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was deliberately murdered for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

More than a century after the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the most horrific episodes of racial violence in U.S. history, the city’s mayor announced a $105 million reparations package on Sunday. It is the first large-scale plan committing funds to address the impact of the atrocity.

The fact that the Supreme Court on the shadow docket effectively overruled Humphrey’s Executor despite repeatedly reassuring us in prior opinions that it was doing so such thing tells you everything you need to know about Dobbs’ assurances that Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell are safe.

Castor: They told Heidy Sánchez, ‘Come in early—we want to check on your status.’ And she did the right thing… And at that ICE meeting, they took her. They took her away from her child. This is a breastfeeding mother. They flew her to another detention center in Miami, and then onto a plane to Cuba.

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Noticing this across the board with various agencies, and remembering my days in Iraq. Those police and soldiers who wore masks were considered cowards and suspects in extrajudicial action. Cant help but believe those doing it now in the US are complicit in crimes.
