🚨 NEW: "Donald Trump reported more than $1.4 billion in income from his family’s crypto ventures last year, showing how he now earns most of his income from digital assets that have benefited from his policies"
Tom Bergin and Koh Gui Qing for @Reuters
In place of international cooperation, the fascists seek to substitute a perverted sort of ultra-nationalism which tells their people that they are the only people in the world who count. With this goes hatred and suspicion toward the people of all other nations.

#VivianJennaWilson on Being #ElonMusk’s Estranged Daughter, Protecting #TransYouth and Taking on the #Right Online
In Teen Vogue’s special issue cover story, the estranged 20-year-old daughter of Elon #Musk talks about the 'cartoonishly evil' #Trump administration and being a young #TransWoman today.
By Ella Yurman, Photography by Andy Jackson
March 20, 2025
Excerpt:
"Wilson’s vibrant life, full of possibility, underscores the lifesaving power of #GenderAffirming care for young people. As a child, Wilson struggled through #GenderDysphoria and the attendant mental health issues it often causes. She’s horrified by the wave of #AntiTrans legislation targeting young people like her. In the US, her peers are being demonized by the right, and are left undefended by Democrats. One of Trump’s first executive orders upon retaking office attempted to bar federal funding for health care providers that perform gender-affirming care for young people under 19; multiple federal judges have blocked the order from taking effect for now."

#Trump administration targets #Maine again, this time on #transgender policy in schools
The U.S. #DepartmentOfEducation. which Trump wants to abolish, is investigating whether dozens of Maine school districts are violating or misusing federal privacy laws and infringing on parents’ rights.
by Eric Russell, March 28, 2025
"The Trump administration is once again targeting Maine over its policies on transgender youth.
"The U.S. Department of Education – an agency the president is trying to abolish – announced Friday it has initiated an investigation into Maine’s Department of Education over allegations that school districts in the state are violating the Family Educational Rights Privacy Act (#FERPA).
"Specifically, the federal agency says school districts are allowing officials to create 'gender plans' that support a transgender student’s identity but then not making those plans available to parents.
"A similar investigation was launched in #California this week.
[...]
"Schools in Maine have been caught in a legal gray area between respecting student privacy and parents’ rights to be informed when it comes to children’s expression of gender identity while at school. Many youth live in families whose members might not be supportive of their gender identity.
"The Trump administration already has been investigating Maine for allowing #TransgenderAthletes to compete, something that is allowed under the #MaineHumanRightsAct but defies an executive order the president signed in February. This month, the administration found that Maine violated the federal law known as #TitleIX and warned that if the state didn’t make changes, it would risk referral to the U.S. Department of Justice and the potential loss of tens of millions of dollars in federal funding.
"The announcement from the U.S. Department of Education this week also warns that if any Maine district is found in violation of the federal privacy act, it could lose federal funding. It’s unclear how that will play out, though, because Trump is trying to eliminate the education department at the federal level.
"A spokesperson for the Maine Department of Education did not immediately respond Friday to questions about the investigation. A spokesperson for the Maine Attorney General’s Office declined to comment.
"Trump and his supporters have elevated transgender rights as the biggest battle in the country’s culture war and believe their messaging is a political winner, even beyond traditional party lines.
"In addition to his executive order barring transgender girls or women from competing in athletics, Trump signed another that says the federal government would only recognize two genders, male and female, a move some advocates said was designed to erase transgender individuals from existence.
"Many states, Maine included, have strong protections for transgender individuals."

Must be really nice to be somebody without a real job (politician) who can just take 3 months off the capitalist grind with ease to deal with diagnosed depression. Something almost no other American can do during a time when mental health across the nation is suffering in every corner, cause their ass would be fired in no time if they just didn't show up.
Not to shit on #TomKean (whose father I despise) for taking his mental health seriously, good for him, but it shows the complete disconnect between a politician and the true working class of this country that he had that luxury that almost no person truly working for a paycheck does even though countless people would benefit from taking a mental health break in their lives.
Apparently Goldman doesn't know why he lost his job.

#Sotomayor: 'Facts do not matter' to Supreme Court after it upholds #TransAthleteBan
Story by Sebastian Murdock
June 30, 2026
"Supreme Court Justice #SoniaSotomayor gave a blistering dissent after the #conservative-majority court ruled Tuesday to uphold a ban on #TransgenderAthletes playing on female school sports teams.
"Justice #BrettKavanaugh wrote the ruling that upheld that Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause allows bans on transgender girls’ and women’s participation in female school sports to stand.
"All three liberal justices ― Sotomayor, #ElanaKagan and #KetanjiBrownJackson — dissented in part. While they dissented from the majority’s finding on the Equal Protection Clause, they agreed with the court’s conservatives on #TitleIX.
"In her dissent, Sotomayor discussed the 'immense' benefits of playing sports.
“ 'The majority’s opinion ends by reciting the many wonderful ways in which playing sports can be valuable to young people,' Sotomayor said from the bench. 'It can help build resilience, tenacity, leadership, and discipline. It can lead to life-long friendships, community, and a sense of belonging. It can bring joy and the thrill of victory, along with all the lessons one learns from experiencing defeat. The benefits are immense.'
"With Tuesday’s ruling, trans student athletes will now be excluded even when the facts show they do not have an '
'inherent athletic advantage,' she said."

New from Eden Shamy: Democrats once again insisted, at their annual convention, that 2026 would be their best shot at flipping #Texas in decades.

The 250th anniversary of the #US Declaration of Independence has been celebrated in many American embassies too.
Except that these were not Congress-approved events.
As it often happens in the #Trump administration, they were organized by a private company called Freedom 250.
A few days before the event, the American ambassador to Belgium threatened a Belgian citizen after they urged the American band Zac Brown Band not to perform at the event.
Two journalists from the European Correspondent invited to the event in Brussels tried to question the US ambassador about his threat towards a EU citizen and about the funding of the event.
20 minutes later, they were escorted out by 8 police officers who confiscated their IDs and questioned them about the political leaning of their news outlet.
https://europeancorrespondent.com/en/r/the-us-ambassador-had-belgian-police-stop-our-reporting
For context, Bill White, the US ambassador to Belgium, has already sparked controversy for insulting Belgian politicians and threatening a socialist MP with a travel ban to the US.
The reason for the threat was an investigation into three Orthodox Jewish men practicing circumcision without a valid medical license, and White accused those behind the investigation of being antisemitic.
During the Nazi era, these were some of the countries that shut down their German embassies:
When fascism takes over, it is a duty to contain it, isolate it and prevent it from seeping as an exported good into the fabric of a democracy - even through embassies.
Bill White is an ambassador of a fascist regime and he abides to the same principles (threats, insults, intimidation, plutocracy, contempt towards freedom of speech and legitimate criticism) espoused by all fascist regimes.
Therefore, he is not welcome in Europe, and it’s time for European countries to start considering shutting down their American embassies.
When the man Trump seated on the bench warns you the brakes are gone, the question is no longer whether the car is speeding. It is who it hits.
How is the warning coming from his own appointee, and we're meant to call it routine?

It’s not a “blow to #trump ” that he can’t unilaterally end a mandate of an amendment to the constitution. It’s absolute fucking obvious he can’t. The window of expectation, has shifted so far to “we make the rules now” that “actually, water is wet” is seen as a win to rationally minded people.

How flammable is it?
You'd like to hope that US' Birthright Citizenship would have had the complete support of the country's Supreme Court, but actually while the Court did knock back the Tangerine Tyrant's attempt to nullify the US Constitution's 14th Amendment by arguing it was misinterpreted to give birthright citizenship, it was defeated by a six to three decision...with Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch & Samuel Alito, were supportive of Trump's move.
A strange day in the States, for sure.

The court has struck down campaign spending limits, rejecting federal restrictions on coordinated spending between political parties and their candidates.

Interesting historical perspective on the US Supreme Court:
"... for the first 100 years of the nation, members of the Court were actively and openly involved in partisan politics. Justices penned newspaper articles and pamphlets, wrote or consulted on congressional legislation, campaigned for friends, and even ran for political office themselves while on the bench. Some were candidates for local or state office, but the presidency was often the most coveted prize; more than a third of sitting Supreme Court justices were presidential candidates in the nation’s first century ..."

Interview: Elon Musk, Marc Andreessen, et al say:
"I'll just spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy the government outright... I can then have the government reward me with billions of dollars of contracts".
If the SEC, FTC or anyone else "is investigating my companies... I can just tell them to knock it off, & they'll do it."
20 years ago, Musk couldn't do that. But then SCOTUS said "we'll allow it."

Catholic Nun Explains Pro-Life In A Way That Will Stun Many (Especially Republican Lawmakers)
Thursday, July 30, 2015
"I do not believe that just because you're opposed to abortion, that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed. And why would I think that you don't? Because you don't want any tax money to go there. That's not pro-life. That's pro-birth. We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of pro-life is."
