Cop could’ve chosen not to arrest this 9-month pregnant woman for ‘trespassing’ on roof of her own building. DAs could’ve chosen not to prosecute the bullshit case. Judge could’ve dismissed the case. Sickening display of cruelty in the name of ‘safety.’ What a farce.

Jesus fucking christ. They made a woman appear for a criminal court arraignment even though she was 9 months pregnant and she gave birth while handcuffed to a bench *inside the courtroom*

Can I just say how freaking mind-blowing it remains to me that this argument is *not* being made by Canada's so-called 'left.' What is even the point of the left if it co-signs state-killing service of disabled? Has no class analysis on MAID? nationalpost.com/news/canada/so…

This is the English version of Jon Mitchell's FOIA investigation into the drop of an 18kg bag from a USMC helicopter over Okinawa. "The bag contained pyrotechnic flares - and, one year later, it still has not been found." okinawatimes.co.jp/articles/-/183… via @theokinawatimes

Chicago's federal court adopted a new rule this month that could help the public better understand how often grand juries reject cases brought by prosecutors. The chief judge says it may be one of the first of its kind. NEW from @Suntimes: chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2026/05/…

Looks like another US ICBM test launch scheduled for this week. @Marco_Langbroek has the plot. Comes after Russia’s ICBM flight test last week (events not directly linked).

Navigational Warnings have appeared that point to an unarmed #Minuteman-III #ICBM test-launch from Vandenberg targetting the Ronald Reagan Test range in Kwajalein, May 20-21. Simple ballistic trajectory does not fit well this time @planet4589 @nukestrat @wslafoy @Etienne_Marcuz

NEW: Seattle Police gave Elon Musk's Starlink 100k in grant money to support their internet needs during the FIFA World Cup. Now advocates are calling on the cops to cut all ties with the right-wing billionaire. theburnerseattle.com/post/elon-musk…

Those modernization programs are “immoral on many levels,” Archbishop Wester said, beginning with the simple reality that “if these weapons that they’re modernizing were ever used, it would be the end of civilization as we know it.” americamagazine.org/politics-socie…

Apparently, Russia managed a successful test-launch of its much-delayed new ICBM, Sarmat (RS-28, SS-29). A Russian MOD video allegedly shows the launch: t.me/bbbreaking/229… (h/t to @krakek1 for first post). Check back tomorrow for our new Russian Nuclear Notebook.

A Portland mother was falsely charged with theft. Misidentified because she and the suspect are both Black. She waited months for a public defender. 1,280 people in her county were waiting too. They lost jobs. Lost housing. Lost custody of their children. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/a…

WA Gov. Bob Ferguson violated state ethics laws last year by letting his former aide Mike Webb ride on a state plane, a state board said Friday. The trip — which occurred months after Webb resigned amid concerns about his workplace conduct — was first reported by Axios. #waleg
