I just got a frantic call from Allison Statham. She's the mother of Haley Oliveaux, the girl Chris Duncan was wrongly convicted of killing.

She says the police are now at her door and demanding a DNA sample. They're threatening to arrest her.

One side of this war has an elected legislature but it doesn't really have any power compared to the supreme leader and the council of guardian jurists, and the other is Iran.

I read today in an article in The Daily Beast that some military leaders have privately begun referring to Pete Hegseth with the nickname "No Tab Pete" and I nearly spit my drink out.

I then realized that everyone should have the knowledge to appreciate this ruthless nickname.

There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.
The situation in Haiti is terrifying. On Sunday, 150 gunmen swept down on a town to kill, rape, loot, and burn. 22 people were executed in a churchyard. 52 were taken hostage.

Stephen Miller mockingly says Haiti is safe and ICE just sent its second deportation flight this month; with kids on board.

Twelve years ago, jagoffs pretended to care about "ethics in video game journalism" and other jagoffs pretended to believe them. It worked so they didn't stop.

We're tired of this game now, right? It's boring. It's insulting. From now on we go "lol no fuck off."
Today let's all, as a species, agree to stop pretending to believe that right-wing trolls and fascists are arguing in good faith.

This will fix at least 50% of all problems immediately.

Thank you!

Jonathan Ross is the man who shot and killed Renee Good.
Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why?

They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

Not going to lie, since his campaign office drama a few months ago I really haven't understood. Everything people seem to like? The stuff he says now. The bad stuff? Pretty much all his actions. He only has a personal voting record, not one like a state senator where we can scrutinize.
