Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California.

Why isn't Pam Bondi releasing the Epstein Files?

Over 80% of Americans want them released. Its the only thing that a majority of this country agrees on.

Supreme Court seems skeptical about state bans on 'conversion therapy' for LBGTQ+ kids A majority of Supreme Court justices seem to be leaning in favor of a Christian counselor who is challenging bans on LGBTQ+ “conversion therapy” for kids as a violation of her First Amendment rights.

“States can’t ban conversion therapy but they can ban gender-affirming care. They can’t regulate ‘crisis pregnancy centers’ but they can ban abortion. This is required by the Constitution. If you say we’re just doing politics you’re responsible for political violence.”
—The U.S. Supreme Court

I wonder if any journalists have bothered talking to landlords of people who've been abducted by ICE.

Like there are reddit posts of landlords openly planning on using ICE to evict their tenants for them, etc.

Tell Taylor Swift to stop taking her private jet on 15 minute trips

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Yup

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

This is the USA right now

very cool that if you are working on behalf of right-wing culture warriors, you no longer need standing to have your claim adjudicated by the supreme court

The OR repubs are fucking terrible. Who's stoking political violence?

We are rapidly losing our professors, doctors and scientists.

Somehow part of the United States thinks this is a good thing.

i’ll never get over how some people pointed out trump was going to do project 2025 and then eventually the media asked trump if he was going to do project 2025 and he said “never heard of it” and the media decided he surely couldn’t be lying about that one

INBOX: The Chicago News Guild joined others in suing ICE for attacking journalists at the Broadview facility.

“Our members have a right, protected by the First Amendment, to do their jobs and report the news. They should not be targeted, injured or arrested for doing their jobs.”

FR!!

💔😔 I'm so sorry.

ICE trying to make cops not respond to legit 911 calls or just to make it more difficult by spreading them thin?

We got a second temporary restraining order last night, pausing the president’s attempts to deploy National Guard to Oregon. The president keeps trying to find workarounds.

We look forward to having a hearing on the merits of the case.
