I'm convinced Newsom isn't running for President at all. Sure, he might have a committee and use it as a slush fund, but he's running to be appointed to corporate boards and fake think tanks and stuff. Just too many examples of him going out of his way to show he's not aligned with the Dem base.

After years of championing "free speech," Texas lawmakers have enabled a dramatic rise of censorship in Texas universities, banning concepts, canceling courses and closing departments seen as "woke," and even using AI bots as censors. All in the name of freedom. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...
In other professors’ syllabi, the bot flagged the Pulitzer Prize–winning play Angels in America by Tony Kushner, essays by the Mexican American MacArthur genius grant recipient Sandra Cisneros, and materials related to a class about the Holocaust (that professor was told to drop material regarding Nazi persecution of LGBTQ people).

Putting aside the ideological slant of the new rules, the bot, like many large language models, seems to “hallucinate,” or make mistakes. The AAUP lawsuit lists texts banned for their “sex-based ecofeminist framework” and “gendered ecofeminist frameworks.” These phrases might sound persuasively like academese, but the academics behind the lawsuit had never heard of them; these concepts “do not exist,” the complaint says. Matthew Pehl, a history professor at Tech, told me that he knew several people who’d received reports from the system that were “plainly written by an AI that had hallucinated content or confused content from one class to another.”

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her. Small changes won't fix this. FLIP THE TABLE NOW

This is the price we pay for having so tolerated nationalism for so long. That the Partition isn't taught in every school as one of the great genocidal horrors of the 20th century is, in fact, part of why people are so fast and loose with fucking "population transfer" talk in so many contexts.

From the article that this letter is in response to, about SSPX Bishop Williamson whose excommunication was undone by Benedict. I’m so shocked to see misogyny included with his virulent antisemitism
Profile
Converted to Catholicism in 1971. Later joined the Society of St Pius X (SSPX) and ordained a priest by Archbishop Lefebvre in 1976. Consecrated as bishop without the Vatican's permission he was summarily excommunicated in 1988. Continued his work with SSPX in Argentina, becoming a cult figure among far-right seminarians. On Swedish TV last year he said that no Jews had died in gas chambers. He has also claimed that the US government planned 9/11 and that a Jewish conspiracy to achieve world domination is very real. He says women can be distracted by having their own ideas.

The aggressions tend to concentrate during shift changes, though there’s few protestors on the ground and most aren’t intending to engage - ICE simply decides they need to be further away than off the property line, and instead of waiting for people to move, they just mace them.

SCOOP: double fine is unionizing
ouble Fine, the Microsoft-owned studio behind Psychonauts and, more recently, experimental fare like Keeper and Kiln, is set to unionize, per a petition filed to the National Labor Relations Board. 

The petition, filed May 7, says that like other Microsoft games division studios that have unionized to date, Double Fine workers are making their unionization push in conjunction with Communications Workers of America (CWA). The union will include all “regular part-time and full-time employees”—a total of 42. 

“On May 7, the workers at Microsoft studio Double Fine Productions announced their decision to form a union with CWA to preserve and extend the studio’s commitments to creative excellence, diversity and inclusion, and worker quality of life," CWA said in a statement to Aftermath. "In tandem with requesting voluntary recognition from the company, workers have also filed an election petition with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to secure union representation. We appreciate that Microsoft has taken a neutral approach and agreed not to interfere in any way with worker’s rights to organize unions.”

The Doctors And Medical Staff From Gaza Still Held In Israel’s Prisons - PopularResistance.Org
For the last 16 months, campaigners around the world have, understandably, been highlighting the case of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the brave director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza, who kept the hospital operational for three months, from October to December 2024, when it was besieged and attacked remorselessly by Israeli forces during what was known as “the Generals’ Plan.” This was the “genocide within a genocide”, when the whole of northern Gaza was placed under a violent siege, and everyone still living there, who had failed to cooperate with previous evacuation orders — either because they were unwilling or unable to leave — was told in no uncertain terms that, if they stayed, they would be regarded as “enemy combatants” who could be summarily executed.
