We spoke to the relatives of three immigrants transferred to Guantanamo, who said they’ve been left in the dark about their loved ones.
“To me it’s the desperation, the frustration that I know nothing of him. It’s a terrible anguish. I don’t sleep.”
An Oklahoma family was forced to abandon their home after it filled with slick, black goo, reaching gas concentrations at explosive levels.
Despite ample evidence of oil and gas pollution, state regulators say they cannot help.

NEW: Stories about pardons are often told as stories about presidential power — who had access, who persuaded a president to intervene. But what drew reporter Jeremy Kohler to this story was the people on the other side of that act of grace.

I miss my dad! I'm currently sitting in the corner at the airport crying my eyes out and hoping that nobody thinks I'm crazy. I wasn't even originally scheduled to work today & thought picking up a shift might keep my mind off Father's Day but that was dumb. If you love your dad, please let him know today! Happy Father's Day! 😭 #family #grief #holidays
Texas Overhauls Anti-Abortion Program That Spent Tens of Millions of Taxpayer Dollars With Little Oversight
—
After a ProPublica and CBS News investigation revealed that Texas’ funding pipeline for anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers is riddled with waste, nonprofits in the program must now provide a detailed accounting of their expenses.
N.Y. Gov. Kathy Hochul is expected to sign a bill that bans anonymous complaints to the state child abuse hotline. The law would still maintain the confidentiality of callers.
The change comes in the wake of a 2023 ProPublica investigation that showed how the hotline had been weaponized by people endlessly calling in baseless allegations against exes or rivals.

"I was talking to my close #family, and we're as neurodiverse as hell. And I was talking to, I think it was probably my grandson, and also my daughter. We were talking about how apparently neurotypical people favor vertical/ hierarchical social arrangements. They feel more comfortable if there are people above them and people below them, and they know where they are.
#Neurodiverse people tend to favor more #horizontal social arrangements.
So I was thinking about this, and I came up with what I think is a brilliant solution: that we should #medicate the #neurotypical. [Douglas: "Exactly!!"] Because it's them causing all the problems, you know."

The Broken Gramophone and the Stolen Land
The story of a broken gramophone and a piece of stolen land. A personal account of my family's legacy, caught between fascist violence and the calculated greed of those who wore the banner of anti-fascism for personal gain.

Rated Bilal: A New Breed of Hero 4/10
This was really disappointing. There are definitely moments of brilliant direction, stunning character design, and impressive uses of the score and soundtrack, but the script needed a lot more polish. For the entire film there wasn't a single character that I felt I could latch on to and it made this viewing a slog. (I actually fell asleep during the first 40 minutes on my first viewing.) This movie is easily half an hour longer than it needs to be and I still don't have a clear understanding of why--not everything that was included needed to be and the film's plot turns feel as though they are pilfering pretty unabashedly from THE PRINCE OF EGYPT. I really like films in this genre, especially when animated, so this, while not awful, was definitely a letdown.

Rated Backrooms 7/10
Say what you will about atmospheric horror but this film has a perspective on trauma (and healing) and the ways the mind is a maze of infinitely inexact replicas of The Real. I appreciated the directing, the sound editing and mixing, and the performances. I thought the plot was a bit thin and unfocused at times but I also had to dip out of the theater for snacks for a bit, so I may have missed some crucial details. What I did see does at least make me want to give it another try to put together all the pieces in a coherent way, which is saying something since so many offerings in media these days--movies, but also books and video games--are made for the lowest common denominator consumer. Very eager to see what this director does next.
