Pete Hegseth Renaming Harvey Milk Navy Ship Sparks Fury From Veterans Group https://twp.ai/4in0Hc

There’s something unsettling about the 2019 Catholic college grad wearing her beatified smile and crucifix as she launches into noxious sprays demonising minorities, slandering institutions of law and learning while claiming these are “American values”. All those markers of purity and all that bile

CNN: Bill called abomination MSNBC: Bill called abomination Fox: Autopen

There’s probably not an open bar. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

NATO really needs to think long and hard. If they want America as a partner any more

If you have any infectious disease, you should isolate. What's a mild inconvenience to you could be lethal to someone you come in contact with if you continue out and about as normal. This idea that you should "soldier on" while ill is irresponsible & dangerous. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

He is disgusting.

Remember when this pic of Elián González was a national scandal instead of a daily occurrence?

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

It’s on record.

MURRAY: Will you allocate the $220m for literacy programs that Congress appropriated? McMAHON: We're looking at the unallocated dollars to determine which of those programs we can best spend on MURRAY: Those funds were appropriated. It looks to me like the dept is illegally impounding funding

This country is run by anti-science, conspiracy-addled zealots whose insane actions are going to kill untold numbers of people—without even counting all the deaths that would've been prevented if they hadn't stopped research on vaccines for everything from cancer to HIV.

Nice to see a smart woman put down a self-important and not terribly bright member of the Senate. The bully did not weather the exchange well.

The media initially portraying this as a spat between two neighbors instead of a married couple enduring terrifying ongoing harassment over their love and inherent traits should shame multiple outlets.

Oh, you don’t feel comfortable going to your gay son’s wedding? How sad for you. Parents, if that’s you—suck it up and show up for your kid. You’ll survive. Their day isn’t about you.

"Between this and the recent decision by the Environment Minister to allow for the expansion of the North West Shelf gas export plant, we've got to wonder what it is this Labor government really cares about." @emmashortis.bsky.social #auspol

Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back. This is only going to get worse.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

In one awful decision, Albanese has revealed his do-nothing plan It didn’t take long for us to discover what a triumphantly re-elected Labor government would be like. Disappointing. Thread .. 🧵 #auspol www.smh.com.au/business/the...

Those 175 people should not take pride in electing Wilson. So no repercussion for him in tirning at the recount either.

OMG! Watching an episode of The Handmaid’s Tale, and Aunt Lidia said to a handmaid, “You look like the wreck of the Hesperus “. My Grandma used to say that to me if my hair was messy! 😳

An inspiring story: U Mich president withdraws his signature on a letter defending academic freedom because he wants to leave and get paid to join Ron DeSantis's war on higher education, and then doesn't get the Florida job because he supports vaccination www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/06/haha...

The thing to remember about Andrew Cuomo's breakfast order is that he resigned the governorship in disgrace after being credibly accused of sexually harassing at least 11 women with unwanted groping, kissing and sexual comments

The perfect bird feeder doesn't exi--

Because the CURRENT president is unfit and setting the country on fire while this guy is going on and on about this old, dying man.

It was never about deporting violent criminals. If that were true, where are the examples? Trump would be shouting the victims’ names from the rooftops. What we’re actually seeing are heartbreaking videos of families torn apart by masked men who look more like white supremacists than ICE agents.

youtube.com/shorts/IFq4Q... Tim Snyder is an expert on fascism. He left his teaching position at Y ale to move to Canada. Remind me when was the US great? 47 regime is doubling down on keeping its people ignorant and dumb, It makes them easier to control and lie to. Happening as their leader golfs!

Are we great yet?

Checking up on the news about Adriana Smith. Nothing seems to have changed. In the name of so-called pro life legislation, a dead woman’s family is tortured and is being driven into horrendous debt. Their intense mourning continues indefinitely “under His eye”. www.msn.com/en-au/health...

whether or not you're on board with the benefits of AI, you should be worried about its impact on crucial existing web resources like Wikipedia and scientific journals. People using these tools are killing the things that make them possible. www.nature.com/artic...

This video appears to show a group of men outside a Melbourne shopping centre (Northland). I think they’re chanting “white man fight back” or “white pride”. Oh & holding a super offensive sign. Will any news outlets or local MPs or cops will interrogate or nah? Looks frighteningly like Neo Nazis

"It was just wanton wreckage." — Rachel Maddow, on what the world's richest Nazi, Elon Musk, did to the government and the lives of federal workers with his DOGE dumbfuckery

#auspol be wild saying Albo's government has a huge mandate to do things they didn't take to the election then in the same breath saying Labor should watch their back because their primary isn't high and they only got in as people's second or third choice.

SA Police has launched a Commissioner's Inquiry after a man became unresponsive while being arrested last week in Adelaide's east.

All aboard the 2025 Pride Train 🌈

“Finally concedes” makes it seem like she was being unnecessarily stubborn, instead of simply waiting for the results of the recount given the handful of votes affecting the outcome. So glad she will run again. youtu.be/-KtXO5Wes6U?...
