The people who were shocked that statues put up by the KKK in the 1920’s were removed seem to be fine with this.

This is hilarious. Even the Dutch are way ahead of us in seeing how bad things are in the United States with Donald Trump running amok and corporations capitulating to fascism.

But, then again, the Netherlands has experience with being taken over by fascists.

I can't get over how weird this photo is. I love that someone in England captioned it: "Darling, be a dear and DO click on the floor lamp."

One of my favorite moments in the history of free speech: Larry Flynt publishing a satirical Campari ad featuring Jerry Falwell Sr. as an incestuous drunk who first had sex with his mother in an outhouse. Falwell sued. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court found that satire is protected speech.

Megyn Kelly's separation from even pretending to be a journalist, instead of a mindless hack for MAGA, is now complete.

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

These 20 Churches Supported Political Candidates. Experts Say They Violated Federal Law. Churches aren’t supposed to endorse political candidates, according to IRS rules. Across the country, churches appear to be doing so anyway.

In a court filing today, the IRS upended a decades-old ban on churches endorsing political candidates.

At the same time, it's a rule that the IRS has almost never enforced.

In 2022, we spotlighted 20 churches who appeared to violate this rule for local, state and federal elections:

Mahmood Mamdani is the United States because Idi Amin decided to get hung up over who counted as African so I guess it's nice to see the American right branching out beyond eastern Europe for inspiration

Mr. Mamdani was born in Kampala, Uganda, to Mira Nair, an acclaimed film director who grew up in India and later emigrated to the United States, and Mahmood Mamdani, then a college professor at Makerere University. Both his parents are of Indian descent, but his father’s family came to East Africa more than 100 years ago, Mr. Mamdani said.

When asked if any of his family had intermarried while in East Africa, he said in the interview on Thursday, β€œThey’re all of Indian origin, from Gujarat.”

Signs that your story have gone off the rails:
*Not clear that the target actually did anything wrong, despite implications otherwise
*Your primary sources is a eugenicist
*You grant the source anonymity even tho he was previously outed
*You ask about family mating patterns while in Africa

Trump's deals with law firms are like deals 'made with a gun to the head,' lawyers say The White House said it's reached deals with nine law firms to provide about $1 billion in pro bono services. But the details of those agreements remain murky.

One afternoon in Gaza, two family tragedies: the childhoods cut short by Israeli airstrikes Relatives’ trauma over events of 23 May reflects a daily reality in Gaza: the killing and maiming of its youngest citizens At about 3pm last Friday, Dr Alaa al-Najjar, a paediatrician at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, received the charred remains of seven of her 10 children, killed in an Israeli airstrike. The bodies of two others were buried beneath the rubble. A few miles away, 11-year-old Yaqeen Hammad, known as Gaza’s youngest social media influencer, was killed after a series of heavy Israeli airstrikes hit the house where she lived with her family. She was watering flowers in a tiny patch of greenery eked out of a displacement camp when she died. Her cousin, 16-year-old Eyad, was gravely wounded. Continue reading...
