The world's most advanced AI models are exhibiting troubling new behaviors - lying, scheming, and even threatening their creators to achieve their goals. u.afp.com/SxDw

BREAKING: if the Supreme Court wants a class action to hold Trump's birthright citizenship unconstitutional nationwide, we will give them one! We @democracydefendersaction.org just filed with our wonderful partners @aclu.org, NAACP LDF, LULAC & more assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...

Orban banned it, so even more people turned out

U.S. District Judge William Young rules Trump cancelling NIH grants illegal. Says it was "palpably clear" that racial & #LGBTQ discrimination motivated Trump's cuts

Jim Obergefell, plaintiff in the landmark Supreme Court case that legalized gay marriage in all 50 states, reflects on the decision 10 years later and the LGBTQ community's current civil rights fight.

“I have no doubt that, if judges must allow the Executive to act unlawfully in some circumstances, as the Court concludes today, executive lawlessness will flourish..." @pemalevy.bsky.social unpacks KBJ's dire warning to the nation following today's Supreme Court rulings:

I am gay. I exist regardless of your " religious beliefs". 26 million Americans do not require the approval of your religion to exist. The Supreme Court is not supreme enough to negate my existence or rights. Nor the rights of all children to have an education based in truth.

The weaponization of denaturalization - literally stripping people of American citizenship - is a big step further down the slippery slope of ethnic cleansing.

At a time when Planned Parenthood faces unprecedented threats to its very survival, the Supreme Court added another one today. The court ruled that if states decide to unilaterally cut off Medicaid funding to a healthcare provider—in this case Planned Parenthood—patients cannot sue to stop them.

The Roberts Court, in one fell swoop, has: 1) Allowed states to defund Planned Parenthood even for non-abortion care so to... 2) Rip away people's right to choose their care provider under Medicaid while... 3) Advancing a neoconfederate understanding of our civil rights laws. This can't go on.

"Answer the question, Mr. Vought ... I don't want to hear about the Biden administration. You're here on behalf of the Trump administration" -- Jon Ossoff *was not* putting up with Russ Vought's bullshit

Murray to Vought: This should be a yes or no. What I hear is all kind of word salad to make sure you are letting us know that you intend to do things that are outside the intent of the law.

US Judge Rules AI Training on Books Not Copyright Violation — A US federal judge sided with AI firm Anthropic, ruling that training AI models on published books without authors' permission is not a copyright infringement. This landmark decision may influence the future of AI development…

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

Gotta love a library that promotes banned books! Thank you, Cleveland Heights library

Sounds like Fordo is damaged but has not been destroyed. Israeli officials "also said it appeared Iran had moved equipment, including uranium, from the site." www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/w...

It's always projection. Truth is, the Trump team failed to negotiate properly.

Pete Hegseth is on my television at 8:00 on a Sunday morning. Our country is in the hands of bumbling but lethal idiots. Difficult days. " We give glory to God" says Hegseth. No God sees this administration and it's hateful agenda as glorious.

Wow. I cannot imagine a documentary that would be of greater interest to me. The timing is... insanely right. Premiere is 6/27/2025 at 9pm ET www.pbs.org/wnet/america... via Maddow

Sen. Alex Padilla slammed Trump’s immigration tactics in an op-ed, calling them a scapegoat for his political failures. He warned the National Guard deployment to L.A. is a “warning shot” threatening civil liberties. www.rawstory.com/trump-267240...

⚡️'If we don't help Ukraine further, we should start learning Russian,' EU diplomacy chief says. Top EU diplomat Kaja Kallas cited a sharp increase in Russia's military spending, noting that Moscow is now allocating more money to defense than the EU combined.

Duckworth to Hegseth: "You are blowing through money like my fellow cadets and I did in our first liberty after basic camp. Luckily I didn't end up with a questionable tattoo ... you're just an unqualified yes man who can't tell the president how to keep Americans safe."

Truly the worst human. Trump says he won’t call Minnesota Gov. Walz after lawmaker shootings because it would ‘waste time’ apnews.com/article/trum...

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”
