The unprecedented thing is the Republican Party nominating a career criminal for president and letting him continue to lead the party after launching the closest thing America has ever seen to a coup.
It's almost Girl Scout cookie time. If you don't have a local troop to support, can I suggest Girl Scout Troop 6000, made up entirely of girls living in homeless shelters in New York City.

Troop 6000 is a Girl Scout program specially designed to serve girls in the New York City Shelter System.

Look, I understand that global pandemics are serious and many people died and we're still at risk, but I don't want us to lose sight of the equally important fact that raccoon dogs apparently exist and look like this and I would like one.

An interview with a Guantanamo detainee tortured while DeSantis watched as a JAG officer who was supposed to ensure legal compliance.

I question the conventional wisdom that DeSantis would be better than Trump. I've yet to see any evidence he's less cruel than Trump, and every aspect of his adult life, continuing into the present, suggests he's even *more* cruel.

Former Guantanamo prisoner: Ron DeSantis watched me being tortured

Mansoor Adayfi says the brutal force-feeding methods employed on Guantanamo prisoners like him amounted to torture. He tells Richard Hall that Ron DeSantis watched it happen

The Independent

DeSantis is punishing the Hyatt Regency Miami for hosting a Drag Christmas ball back in December. He’s actually taken away its liquor license.

DeSantis is out of control, obsessed with oppressing freedom and gender identity expression and willing to abuse state power to do it.

People storming school board meetings are “concerned parents,” which implies that their motives are genuine and just, basically shielding their “concerns” from political scrutiny; but students protesting a racist speaker are always “activists,” never “concerned young people.”
It's kind of darkly funny, thinking about the right wing's greatest fear: a vaccinated, trans drag queen wearing a mask and wielding a CRT book, teaching kids about black history.

Today’s reminder that - whatever the claimed motives of the people behind this bill - this is effectively the seeking of the death penalty for Jews and all other non-Christians who, in seeking mandatory pregnancy-related health care in line with not only medical science but also the teachings of their own non-Christian religions, are exercising their First Amendment rights under the Constitution: https://www.vox.com/2022/7/3/23190408/judaism-rabbi-abortion-religion-reproductive-rights

Judaism permits abortion. What do abortion bans mean for Jewish religious freedom?

The religious right led the opposition to abortion. Other faith leaders feel differently.

Growing up, I had three sisters. One of them was a quiet child, often angry or sullen and sometimes cruel.

One day that person went away.

And then I had a brother.

He was cheerful and warm, finally comfortable in a body he'd wanted his entire life.

Conservatives want to eradicate my brother. I'm here to say that's not going to happen.
