People really need to get over themselves. Influencers & podcasters & Substackers don't hold a secret map to liberation.

Maybe write a letter to a political prisoner, or organize a bake sale for Sameer, instead of pointing out how flawed ____'s take is?

@SoundDobad I know this may sound petty, but I can’t stand it when people put photoshop a meth pipe in my mouth. A crack pipe doesn’t have that little bowl at the end. This is why we can’t trust AI. Please make the appropriate edit. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

"Why is June pride month?

Because of the Stonewall uprising in 1969.

Why did the Stonewall uprising have such an impact?"

[Mother Jones @MotherJones]

For the past week, anti-ICE activists have been protesting at Delaney Hall, an immigration detention facility where detainees have reportedly engaged in a hunger strike. As journalist Amanda Moore explains in a new Mother Jones video, the demonstrators have erected barricades and are attempting to stop law enforcement vehicles.

The feds have responded with force, using vast amounts of noxious pepper spray and driving demonstrators into a road full of semis and buses. "ICE agents regularly push protesters into the street, even when trucks are driving by," Moore reports. One protester "was shoved into the wheel well of a truck, which then ran over his foot."

You can watch Amanda's shocking story here, and be sure to follow her for more reporting as the situation develops.

@osucowboytc @howertonjosh @BeGreatEducate1 @Enrique73937181 @EWErickson Facts don’t matter when their whole bit is perpetual victimhood. Japan also has laws protecting children from the abusive practice of being told they’re going to hell. The only people who see these protective measures as bad are the perpetrators themselves.

Exodus 21:22–25 makes clear a fetus was considered property & it's accidental destruction only merited a fine. If you want to take the Bible on its own terms, your position becomes untenable. Your only hope is to impose the terms of your own RWA identity politics onto the Bible.

No group of men have a harder time controlling themselves than evangelical men, apparently. They have to create weird isolation chambers to keep their hands and eyes to themselves. Red flag behavior

The best recipes online come from moms who used to work in professional kitchens

[Andrea Howe / CNC @andreavhowe]

As a food blogger and content creator I constantly hear how unapproachable recipes are on social media but y’all just need to stop following the young TikTok accounts who are going for virality and just follow a bunch of middle aged moms who’ve raised kids and not lost their minds. This is what I’m pushing on my audience. Canned potatoes and tomatoes with some beef

This is the problem with cops. They'll literally hurt their own families to protect the elite.

This is really scary. Read what’s in that strategy. If you have any leftists beliefs, you are the target. It’s pure, uncut fascism, which is illegal to say under this plan.

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

Trump's counterterrorism czar expresses amazement at how little negative reporting there is about the new National Counterterrorism Strategy.

"50 articles were written...only one of them (from those putzes at Politico) was even slightly negative."

"We are moving so fast, they just can't keep up with us — which is delicious."

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

In all my years covering this stuff, I have NEVER seen Americans so explicitly labeled terrorists like they are in the newly released national counterterrorism strategy 👇

Tomorrow, @TexasMonthly will be dropping a ~12,000 word story on Paul Pressler, the alleged sexual predator who remade the Southern Baptist Convention and helped ordain the marriage between the GOP and white evangelical voters. There is *a lot* in there and I hope you'll read it.

"Left-wing violence is rising" is a big claim to make and I've yet to see a study alleging it that I thought was methodologically sound. I don't have it in me to pay for a Puck article but I would encourage people to really look close at *how* stats like that get tallied.

American pro lifers bombed a hospital

[ABC News @ABC]

Surveillance footage showed chaotic scenes at Iranian hospitals as strikes rain down on the country.

One scene captured a nurse rescuing three newborn babies at a hospital in Tehran and carrying them to safety.
