60 years ago today, the signing of the Voting Rights Act ensured representation for every community in the nation. Trump is attempting to violate that law now to roll back our progress. This isn't just about Texas – this is about America. I'm proud to stand for our democracy.

Kayla Haas posted on X (formerly Twitter) on June 16, 2025. She discusses the current information environment, noting that officials are vague, the media is surging ahead, narratives are splintering, OSINT is spreading, news cycles are chasing virality, anonymous sources are running amok, and public sentiment is stirring. She states that the information environment is setting emotional conditions. She advises readers not to panic but to pay attention, and when messaging gets muddy, to read slower rather than shout louder. In a subsequent post, she urges readers to stay steady, protect their attention, and take care of each other.

from "this week in stupid," my wrap-up of the dumbest fucking shit that happened. Margie Greene loses a battle of wits with an AI, Donny cons crypto dipshits out of millions, and more. please read the whole thing here: bit.ly/4mrrEVf thanks! (and as always, there's a longer excerpt in the alt text)

all of us should have seen this coming a mile away. you know all those bros who ponied up anywhere from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars in order to get to hang with Dear Leader at his Big Crypto Corruption Dinner?

they got played. they were promised they would get to hobnob with The Great Dealmaker himself — and they came home with bupkis. none of that shit happened.

here’s how Donny ‘thanked’ them for their six- to seven-figure ‘investment’ into his fake money. look at this plateful of what in the actual fuck. this is the meal the crypto bros got served at Donny’s Virginia golf motel.

“It was the worst food I’ve ever had at a Trump golf course,” Nicholas Pinto, a business influencer who poured around $300,000 into Trump’s coin, told Wired of the entree, a surf-and-turf dish that included halibut and filet mignon. Speaking to Fortune, he criticized the latter as a “Walmart steak.” Pictures of the plates suggested that the dinner was barely up to airline standards.

so sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy your three-hundred-thousand dollar meatwad, bro. maybe write Dear Leader a strongly-worded letter.

here are two dudes who liked the food, but were totally bummed out when Dear Leader showed up, mumbled a few words into a microphone, and then got the fuck out of there.

NEW: Two attendees of Trump’s crypto VIP reception and dinner last night shared that while the food was good, they were disappointed by the lack of meaningful interaction with the president. They had hoped for more access and perhaps even a Q&A session for the top wallet holders, but instead, the speech was essentially a reiteration of the U.S.’s goal to become the global leader in crypto. “He just gave a few remarks and left,” one said.

so, Donny flimflammed a bunch of crypto assholes out of millions of dollars and gave them nothing in return. that might actually be a public service. I’m conflicted.

Legal challenges to President Trump’s El Salvador deportations have focused on due process, writes @conor64.bsky.social. Less attention has been paid to another constitutional protection: the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on “cruel and unusual punishment.”

Deporting illegal immigrants is lawful. Imprisoning them in El Salvador makes a mockery of the Eighth Amendment.

I know this seems small, but a non-black politician even being willing to name black people in this political climate is surprising. A cis candidate willing to name trans people is big too. Because when fascist politicians encounter pushback, they do not stop, but dial their actions back.

Autogenocide is the engineered & coerced self-destruction: of bodies, minds, ecosystems, and futures. This graphic shows how systems create environments of daily fear, anxiety, and desperation - through toxic systems that deny care, weaponize poverty, and normalize mass death.

Exactly! One aspect of Malignant Narcissism is Sadism. People don’t fathom how deeply Trump's driven by it. In normal folk those impulses are offset by caring emotion. Trump has none. He takes glee from others' suffering. Shutdowns, cuts, El Salvador deportations, markets tanking - it's fun for him.
