Mother is mothering. Madonna’s Met Gala look is inspired by Leonora Carrington, an artist who ghosted the patriarchy and painted worlds where women run everything.

And now we’re at the journalists arrested for reporting the news stage
Attorney for my colleague and friend Don Lemon has released a statement saying Don was arrested by federal agents in LA last night. This is outrageous and cannot stand. The First Amendment is under attack in America!

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security is deeply concerned by a dangerous and accelerating pattern within the United States government in which rhetoric and symbolism associated with Nazi ideology and white supremacist extremism is increasingly given political legitimacy. Entire government agencies, especially the Department of Homeland Security, as well as senior officials and other influential actors now regularly tolerate and even echo language and imagery historically rooted in Nazism and genocidal movements, eroding democratic norms and cultivating an environment that actively drives extremist mobilization and politically driven violence. The Lemkin Institute recognizes that the Trump Administration is unlikely to engage in any actions that would begin to limit and contain the growing power and violence of extremist groups because the Administration is, apparently, in the hands of people sympathetic to those groups. We remind President Trump, his advisors, and the foot soldiers of genocide in ICE and CBP that totalitarian supremacist projects never end well for the perpetrators. We call upon U.S. government officials and U.S. political representatives who do not wish to be complicit in fascism and genocide to take immediate measures to identify, address and dismantle Nazi and white supremacist ideology within the U.S. government, with the long-term goal of transforming the nation towards a more just, positive, and sustainable social order. We salute the Americans who are courageously showing up to protest the rapid radicalization of the U.S. state towards totalitarianism and genocide. All protest in the U.S. today is also genocide prevention work. Humanity will one day recognize the value and the heroism of people standing up and risking their lives every day.

If the identities of your police are allowed to be secret then you have secret police
Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem accuses CBS host of "doxxing" for simply asking a question about ICE agent Jonathan Ross. NOEM: Don't say his name. For heaven's sake, we shouldn't have people continue to dox law enforcement. CBS: His name is published — NOEM: I know, but that doesn't mean it should continue to be said.

The Trump administration is shutting down the National LGBTQ youth suicide lifeline on July 17th.
Community note
The national suicide hotline is removing the "press 3" program that would link to the Trevor Project. The Trevor Project and suicide hotline are still accessible on their respective numbers. If you need LGBTQ specific resources you can call 1-866-488-7386 thetrevorproject.org/blog/trump-adm…
