How can we be both a country experiencing a surge of support for gay people and a nation that is so often home to such deadly massacres? After the 2016 mass shooting at Orlando’s LGBTQ Pulse Night Club, Sunday’s events shouldn’t come as a complete shock, but they are another wake-up call that queer life is not insulated from America’s current right-wing wave of hate and violence. It is all part of a wider culture war that is being fought despite the will of the majority....

I’ve used plenty of Chromebooks since the very first CR-48 model was distributed for free by Google in early 2011. In looking at this new line from Acer, I ditched my Mac for work-related tasks and utilized Google’s productivity suite of web-based apps to get this review and others done. In short, this is a very capable machine that has a few quirks compared with a more traditional laptop....

In its announcement of the suit, filed in conjunction with the Campaign Legal Center and the Mexican-American Legal Defense Fund, the ACLU described how Secretary of State John B. Scott’s office began a process to identify potential non-citizens on the state’s voter rolls. The office “identified thousands of registrants for potential removal” and sent lists to local registrars, according to the filing. The ACLU has claimed that Scott has refused to disclose the criteria for identifying the purged voters—many of whom are properly naturalized citizens, according to the ACLU....

It’s an entry on Moore’s IMDb page that many fans on Twitter have seemed to have forgotten, but it’s true.

Dozens of people on social media were reminded of Moore’s time holding the Soul Train reigns on Wednesday night, after a Twitter user shared a thread of clips from the beloved dance show, including video bits of Moore dancing down the soul train line with guests....

Sometimes, the Democratic National Committee helps Democrats. Take, for example, chairman Howard Dean’s recent remark that he’d “like the other 350 [superdelegates who haven’t committed] to say who they’re for at some point between now and the first of July so we don’t have to take this into the convention.” The blood bath has to end eventually, and July 1 is as good a deadline as any. But often the DNC isn’t so constructive....

Gase went 7-9 with Miami in his final season as coach there before being fired — and then hired — by New York. Halfway through 2019, the Jets look worse with Gase than the 4-12 last-place team from 2018. The Jets have dealt with a lot of injuries, offensively and defensively. But between veterans and youngsters, they also have some good healthy talent on the field. On paper, this team should still handle the depleted Dolphins....

His comments, made during an upcoming interview on C-SPAN’s Book TV, come as next fall’s midterm elections are still more than a year away. But, House Republicans are already beginning to position McCarthy to replace Pelosi if they can flip the House in their favor. “If Kevin McCarthy were ever to become speaker, essentially Donald Trump would be speaker,” the California Democrat said. Though Trump has maintained a relatively low profile since leaving office, likely facilitated by his bans from several social media platforms, Schiff has remained a staunch critic of the former president....

At least 1 in 7 children have experienced child abuse or neglect in the past year in the United States, and this number is likely an underestimate because many cases go unreported.

While Holland - the man-of-the-match in Adelaide’s 2-1 win - was non-committal when asked about a possible transfer after the game, coach Guillermo Amor effectively confirmed the news at his post-match press conference.
