The Trump administration has scrapped all protections for a critically endangered whale species known as the Rice's whale, allowing oil and gas drilling in their natural habitat. The regulatory meeting dooming the 50 remaining Rice's whales lasted just 15 minutes.

I find it so crazy how we are letting billionaires build these data centres that are literally meant to store our personal data so they can exploit us and use our own information against us while simultaneously killing the planet. Like what in the actual fuck.

What we're seeing across the South is a coordinated assault on Black leaders, Black voices, Black voters, and Black progress. Our destinies are tied & what is taking place impacts us all. We must do everything possible to defend the rights that many marched, fought, & died for.
Justin J. Pearson@Justinjpearson

Speaker of the TN House Cameron Sexton just removed me and every Democrat — and therefore every Black elected official in the state legislature from any committee we served on. This move strips nearly 2 million Tennesseans from the representation they deserve in TN state leg.

This has been going on for 80 years, and heavily documented. The NYTimes finally scraped together enough integrity to publish something.

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opi…

A San Francisco woman went out drinking with a group of cop friends. She blacked out and woke up in a hotel room naked and drugged with four cops. The rape kit tested positive for all of their DNA but the D.A refuses to bring any charges. thebanner.com/community/crim…

So grateful Lebanese paramedics are wearing body cams. They are documenting, in real time, the war crimes they endure. No more doubting them, no more “where is the proof?” Another double-tap attack today caught on camera: as rescuers of the Civil Defence of the Islamic Health Authority inspected the site of a previously targeted building, Israeli jets struck the location again directly, injuring two paramedics.

Today marks four years since my aunt, Shireen Abu Akleh, was killed by an Israeli sniper in Jenin. An iconic journalist, and one of the most empathetic and sweetest people. This is who they killed. She loved life, but they stole hers from her.

How about we just refer to the video evidence? Here's Randy Fine subverting the American political process by voting for other members in the best interest of Israel while he thought nobody was looking. Randy Fine is a traitor to America and should face a tribunal.

SMOKING GUN: Evidence from a primary source shows Randy Fine violated the law in Florida by voting on behalf of two other members—who weren’t present, proven in an HNC12 investigation using the roll call for excused representatives, Chambliss & Casello. Full article below.

Anyone who thinks Spencer Pratt is a viable candidate for LA Mayor is among the stupidest human beings on earth. He lives rent-free in his parent's home in Santa Barbara (4 hours north of LA) because he's too broke to rebuild. The Palisades Fire happened on Trump's watch. The Trump administration withheld nearly $34 billion in requested federal disaster relief, and that lack of funding is a far greater obstacle than local permitting speed. Also thanks to Trump, there's no one to rebuild the homes. Hundreds have begun to rebuild but construction costs skyrocketed under Trump due to tarrifs and workers are all gone due to ICE deportations. The Palisades Fire was a catastrophe made 100x worse by the Trump administration to elevate a moron like Pratt to seize LA. And LA's bank account.

🚨 United Jewish Coalition, a “global coalition uniting Jewish organizations to support Israel”, has endorsed Spencer Pratt for Mayor of Los Angeles.
