No Help and Few Options for Travelers Stranded by Mideast Conflict

One woman who called the State Department helpline looking for help said they told her to "stop ranting and raving" and hung up on her.

Another woman said they asked her how to spell Oman.

Hi folks, these days, when someone is having a health issue, it's referred to as an "opportunity," so let's go with that – I'm having one of those. It's also called a type of cancer that's β€œtreatable” not "curable." I apologize if that's a shock – it was to
me too.
The good news is, I'm not gonna go into any more detail. I'm posting this, because professionally, a few things will have to change - appearances and cons and work in general need to take back seat to treatment.
My plan is to get as well as I possibly can over the summer so that I can tour with my new movie Ernie & Emma this fall.
There are several cons this year summer that I have to cancel. Big regrets on my part. Treatment needs and professional obligations don't always go hand-in-hand.
That's about it. I'm not trying enlist sympathy-or advice-Ijust want to get ahead of this information in case false information gets out (which it will).
Fear not, I am a tough old son-of-a-bitch and I have great support, so I expect to be around a while.
As always, you're the greatest fans in the world and I hope to see you soon!
Much love,
Bruce Campbell

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

Supreme Court Says You Can’t File Tort Suits Against Postal Carriers Who Won’t Deliver Mail to Black People According to Clarence Thomas, mail that your mail carrier steals from you is really just β€œlost,” if you think about it.

You can't sue the government if postal workers accidentally drop the glassware you ordered or lose a letter from your pen pal

The Supreme Court ruled yesterday that this means you also can't sue if postal workers refuse to deliver your mail because you're Black

Newsom’s message to the Democratic Party: Be more β€˜culturally normal’ | CNN Politics California Governor Gavin Newsom sits down with CNN’s Dana Bash to talk about the future of the Democratic Party. He says the party should be β€œless prone to spending disproportionate amount of time on...

Part of the problem with Gavin Newsom is that he's a stupid asshole who listens to stupid asshole right-wing podcasts and invites those stupid asshole right-wingers on his podcast and all of this stupid asshole influence leads him to believe and say stupid asshole right-wing talking points.

Former ICE agent: My first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a warrant. I watched ICE cut classes that teach our legal system, firearms training, use of force, lawful arrests, and the limits of officers' authority

in public, the men's hockey team has been supportive of the women's team, going to games, cheering them on, saying they were inspired by the OT golden goal
must be gutting to feel that support and then get first-hand evidence that behind closed doors, when it's just The Boys, they're laughing at you

Hi! I made a Chrome extension that highlights creeps from the Epstein emails. Depending on how much news you read on your computer, enabling it might be really depressing.

danny's original tweet which reads, Today, students at my high school in Chicago held an Anti-ICE protest.

I was the only one that decided to hold a sign that said β€˜I Love ICE’.

Instead of allowing me to express my opinion, I was assaulted β€” Just for standing up for law enforcement.

What is happening to America? 

there is a 47 second video that sees multiple other kids talk smack to him and one of them just lays into him physically

a quote tweet that has transcription from the punch. the tweet reads:β€œYou’re gonna punch me?”
β€œYeah”
β€œThen you’re gonna in trouble for that”
β€œOkay”

Followed by this frame is one of the hardest things I’ve seen on the internet this week.

the frame in question is the kid winding up for a punch. it looks exactly like the pepe punching meme

Gender studies courses are shutting down across the US. The Epstein files reveal why | Joan Wallach Scott Texas A&M University is the latest school to end women’s and gender studies programs and teaching race. We know why

Eliminating gender studies courses helps to ensure that universities and other institutions will continue to protect men who benefit from the abuse of women and girls, either directly or through their connections to those who exploit girls and women for profit.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

This is incredibly cool β€” A source familiar with Bad Bunny’s performance tonight tells me that the couple in the halftime show got married for real.

They invited Bad Bunny to their wedding and in turn he invited them to get married during his performance.
