After the case went to trial, the same judge struck it down, citing its violation of the First Amendment as the reason. Happy Pride!

This is so horrible! The swan was the village’s mascot and they have a tradition of raisin swans for over 100 years.

CNN: Federal prosecutors have obtained an audio recording of a summer 2021 meeting in which former President Donald Trump acknowledges he held onto a classified Pentagon document about a potential attack on Iran, multiple sources told CNN, undercutting his argument that he declassified everything. The recording indicates Trump understood he retained classified material after leaving the White House, according to multiple sources familiar with the investigation. On the recording, Trump’s comments suggest he would like to share the information but he’s aware of limitations on his ability post-presidency to declassify records, two of the sources said. CNN has not listened to the recording, but multiple sources described it. One source said the relevant portion on the Iran document is about two minutes long, and another source said the discussion is a small part of a much longer meeting. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/05/31/politics/trump-tape-classified-document-iran-milley/index.html

Congratulations to Edgars Rinkēvičs, who was elected President in Latvia today. A long-serving foreign minister in the Latvian government, Rinkēvičs is a strong supporter of the EU and NATO, as well as a solid ally to Ukraine as it defends itself from the Russian invasion. In 2014, he announced that he is "proudly gay," but keeps his personal life private. While other nations have had openly gay Prime Ministers and politicians serving in government, Latvia is the first nation to have an openly gay person serving in the role of President. Although the presidency is a largely symbolic role in Latvia, Rinkēvičs' election is still a big achievement for the LGBT+ community, especially if one considers that within this generation, Latvia was occupied by the Soviet Union and part of the Eastern Bloc. Since its independence in 1991, Latvia has been making great strides in abandoning its Soviet past and joining the Western world. Congratulations to Edgars Rinkēvičs and to Latvia!

Newly published research has found a possible connection between animal meat consumption and aggression towards intimate partners. The study was published in the Journal of Family Violence on April 29, 2023. Researchers surveyed 245 undergraduate students via an anonymous format. Participants had a mean age of 19.26. Just over half (52.7 percent) were white, with slightly more being female (56.7 percent). Study authors collected data on respondents’ animal product intake, depressive symptoms, lifetime “use” of intimate partner aggression, and degree of speciesism. Speciesism is a term used to describe the belief that humans are superior to other animals. Researchers measured this by asking participants to rank how much they agreed with statements like, “Humans have the right to use animals however they want to.” Researchers discovered that those with a higher consumption of animal parts were both more physically and psychologically aggressive towards their partners. High animal product consumption was also linked to greater speciesism. Similarly, those who appeared more speciesist were also more likely to report use of violence in relationships. “Results from this study were generally consistent with hypotheses; greater consumption of animal flesh was associated with both physical and psychological intimate partner aggression both at the bivariate level and when controlling for other associated correlates including depressive symptoms and speciesism,” researchers wrote in their report. They later note: “Results suggest that eating non-human animals may not only be associated with greater risk for negative physical and mental health issues, but also engaging in harmful behaviors towards others including intimate relationship partners.” It’s not the first time researchers have sought to better understand speciesism in humans, and the psychological repercussions of it. In 2019, researchers discovered that higher speciesism was associated with other oppressive views relating to racism, homophobia, and sexism. Based on this – and separate research that found people with more speciesist views tended to look down on low-status groups – study authors of the just-published report concluded that the link between aggressive behaviour and speciesism “should not be surprising.” They also theorized that “hypermasculineattitudes” may play a role in both increased speciesism and relationship aggression. Additionally, aggressive behavior may be further exacerbated by hormones in animal flesh, researchers noted. This includes adrenaline and cortisol, which can spike during the slaughter process due to animals’ extreme stress and fear. https://plantbasednews.org/culture/ethics/animal-consumption-aggression-relationships/

Bud Light sales suffered their worst week ever, falling 25.7% — endangering its status as the world’s No. 1 beer brand, according to the latest data provided to The Post on Tuesday.
