Hardwick Hall's new sculpture trail highlights the hidden histories of the estate, through handcrafted stone sculptures & new online interpretation. It's been a real labour of love as Dave, Stonemason at Hardwick, designed & sculpted most of the artwork himself. Find out more here: buff.ly/ylkPiKy

Hegseth Orders Navy to Strip Name of Gay Rights Icon Harvey Milk from Ship Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the Navy to take the rare step of renaming a ship, one that bears the name of a gay rights icon, documents and sources show.

Just an extra little bit of "Fuck You" from the MAGAts, intentionally timed for pride month.

Trump is threatening to impose tariffs on two American companies | CNN Business President Donald Trump is using his love of tariffs to threaten high-profile American companies.

Trump keeps using Mafia-like threats to get firms "not to publicly attribute price hikes to tariffs." When Mattel's CEO talked of this, he responded: β€œWe’ll put a 100% tariff on his toys, and he won’t sell one toy in the United States... I wouldn’t want to have him as an executive too long.”

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care In 2023, a Mexican girl, 4, was allowed U.S. entry for lifesaving medical care. She and her parents, who live in Bakersfield, have been told they must leave.

Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:

MEMORANDUM OPINION
In our constitutional order, few stars are as fixed as the principle that no official "can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics. W. Va. State Bd. of Educ. v. Barnette, 319 U.S. 624, 642 (1943). And in our constitutional order, few actors are as central to fixing that star as lawyers.

makes no bones about why it chose its target: it picked Jenner because of the causes Jenner
champions, the clients Jenner represents, and a lawyer Jenner once employed. Going after law firms in this way is doubly violative of the Constitution. Most obviously, retaliating against firms for the views embodied in their legal workβ€” and thereby seeking to muzzle them going forward-violates the First Amendment's central command that government may not "use the
power of the State to punish or suppress disfavored expression." Nat'l Rifle Ass'n of Am. v.
Vullo, 602 U.S. 175, 188 (2024). More subtle but perhaps more pernicious is the message the order sends to the lawyers whose unalloyed advocacy protects against governmental viewpoint

becoming government-imposed orthodoxy. This order, like the others, seeks to chill legal representation the administration doesn't like, thereby insulating the Executive Branch from the
judicial check fundamental to the separation of powers. It thus violates the Constitution and the
Court will enjoin its operation in full.

Conclusion
Jenner raises many more claims of unconstitutionality. These present interesting, difficult, and potentially meritorious questions about the scope of presidential power and more.
What has been said here of the First Amendment (and in passing of the Fifth and Sixth),
however, is sufficient to declare Executive Order 14246 unlawful and enjoin its operation,
eliminating the need to explore those other questions. So the Court need not break new ground:

Executive Order 14246 violates settled First Amendment law and its operation must be enjoined in full. Jenner's motion for summary judgment is granted; the defendants' motion is denied. A

This epitomizes one of the biggest problems with the "new right," which is that many of them cannot distinguish between "cancel culture" and "having standards."

You simply do not have to praise someone for saying "Heil Hitler." That's not intellectual bravery. It's depravity.

This is how it works. They claim you are <bad thing>, ship you out of the country before anyone can react and then claim they can't bring you back.

And they're not even shying away from wanting to do it to US citizens. No due process. Just gone. If you think they won't target us, you are mistaken.
