Sacha Baron Cohen Ali G Movie Slammed
Topic: Political Correctness

as Racist, Activists Send 37,000 Emails to Theaters. "I thought I'd play it safe and bring this guy back,” wrote Cohen about the upcoming 'Ali G: Who Iz I?' movie, which is facing rising uproar. Sacha Baron Cohen‘s outrageous Ali G character is back after 24 years — and so is the controversy. With a new movie coming in October — Ali G: Who Iz I? — some activists are calling Cohen’s dreadlocked wannabe hip-hop star a racist caricature and urging theaters to boycott the Amazon-MGM Studios film. The movie is a mockumentary where cameras follow Cohen-as-Ali G, as the character attempts to stage a career comeback

Teachers Face New 'Punch in the Gut': Deepfakes
Topic: Porn, Prostitution, and Sexual Freedom

Educators inserted into often-sexualized AI images struggle for protection, recourse. High school and middle school classrooms are colliding with one of AI's ugliest uses, but this time, it's not students being targeted. Wired reports on four educators in the US and UK who say students used AI tools to generate sexualized or otherwise compromising fake images and videos of them, then spread the content across TikTok, Snapchat, AirDrop, texts, and group chats. The teachers describe school investigations that ranged from tepid to more robust, with low-level student discipline like short suspensions or other in-school punishment, as well as a lingering sense that the images are still circulating beyond their control. "It felt like a punch to the gut," one substitute teacher in California tells the outlet of finding out about a phony pic of him circulating online that showed him in lingerie instead of his work uniform, as the original photo had depicted.

DOJ Sues Washington Over Granting In-State Tuition to Immigrant Students
Topic: Political Correctness

The U.S. Department of Justice is suing Washington over state laws that allow undocumented immigrants to access in-state tuition and other financial assistance at public universities and colleges. The lawsuit alleges Washington has for over two decades “ignored” federal laws that bar immigrants without legal status from being eligible for state postsecondary education benefits like grants and student loans. Under a landmark state law passed in 2003, undocumented students can receive “resident student” status if they have a high school diploma or equivalent, live in Washington for at least a year, and file an affidavit declaring they either have already or will apply for permanent residency.

Common App data shows domestic applicants increased 4 percent while international applicants declined 10 percent during the 2025–2026 admissions cycle.

Musk's X Loses 1st Amendment Challenge to NY's 'Stop Hiding Hate Act'
Topic: Political Correctness

Musk's X Corp., along with other social media companies operating in the state, must disclose whether and how it defines hate speech and disinformation. On Wednesday, a federal judge tossed out a lawsuit by Musk's social media company challenging New York's "Stop Hiding Hate Act." The act requires social media companies operating in the state and generating more than $100 million in annual revenue to submit two reports per year to the New York state attorney general that disclose "whether and how platforms define hate speech, disinformation, extremist or racist content, harassment, and foreign political interference."

Lawmakers Want To Stop Kids From Nicknaming Their Pokémon
Topic: Children and Family
Source: Reason
The Safer GAMING Act would silence minors in every online game by default—and violate the First Amendment. It may sound Farfetch'd, but lawmakers are advancing a bill that would stop minors from nicknaming their Pokémon online—in violation of the First Amendment. Last month, the House of Representatives passed the KIDS Act, a wide-ranging package of youth online safety bills. It includes the Safer GAMING Act, which would require interactive online video games to "limit communication between" players "under the age of 17" and "any other user."

“Given the relentless advancement in artificial intelligence models, we have some concerns about the lines these cases draw, but we are not free to redraw them ourselves.” A federal appeals court has ruled that the First Amendment protects an individual’s ability to possess AI-generated images depicting child sexual abuse material when the images do not depict a real person.

Anti-abortion leaders see Josh Hawley as possible 2028 force
Topic: Abortion
Source: The Washington Examiner
During the 2024 presidential election, former Vice President Mike Pence was the most staunchly anti-abortion candidate, pressuring other Republicans in the primary to endorse a 15-week federal abortion ban. Pence was unsuccessful in his White House bid against his former boss, President Donald Trump. Two years later, the anti-abortion movement is searching for leverage inside a Republican Party dominated by Trump, and Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) could be its answer.

Denmark, Decades-Long Forced Contraception of Greenlandic Women
Topic: Violence Against Women
Source: Associated Press
Now, Reports Investigate Whether this Constitutes Genocide. Around half of fertile women in the Arctic Island were fitted with IUDs or given hormone birth control shots. Known as the ‘spiral case,’ the revelations have rocked both Denmark and Greenland. More than 350 Greenlandic Indigenous women and girls, including some 12 years old and younger, previously came forward to investigators and reported that they were forcibly given contraception by Danish health authorities. Denmark says more than 4,000 women and girls — reportedly half the fertile women in Greenland at the time — received IUDs between the 1960s and mid-1970s.”

The International Criminal Court Is a Woke NGO. Shut It Down.
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: American Greatness
The Trump administration’s recent declaration of war on the International Criminal Court (ICC) is a welcome advancement toward the rule of law. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s critique of the ICC is on target and should be shared by anyone who has monitored the activities of this court over the years. The ICC is fruit of the poisonous tree. The “court” is a creature of both the European Union—by way of conception or adoption and funding—and of unaccountable (and largely EU-funded) international and national non-governmental organizations, which, amongst other things, vet judicial candidates for the ICC bench.

The jury still deliberates a woman who brutally murdered her three young children. Was it postpartum depression or psychosis? Was Lindsay Clancy in her right mind (hence, no psychosis) because she actually sent her husband out on an errand before she strangled her three kids? There have been women who have defended Clancy-rushing to her defense for ending the lives of her children prematurely. “Justice for Lindsay!” they proclaimed, donned in various shades of pink.

Why Democrats cannot break free from the far left’s transgender demands
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: FOX News
Make no mistake, Democrats are on the wrong side of the transgender debate given public opinion. Simply put, the DSA’s strong opposition to legislation banning biological males from competing in women’s sports has come to define where the national Democratic Party stands, much to its detriment. And while this problem did not suddenly become an issue – Democrats had been trending this way for years before the 2024 election – it is only getting worse and will continue to do so.Put another way, the far left’s and DSA’s veto over Democratic policy puts the entire party on the wrong side of another key issue. And unfortunately, all signs point to this problem continuing to be a drag on Democratic support in the midterms and into the 2028 presidential election.

Britain doesn’t have a grooming gang problem. It has a mafia problem
Topic: Political Correctness

The grooming gangs are just the tip of the iceberg: Britain has a mafia problem. This is the clear inference from The Network Map, a report due to be published this week. The report details the level of interconnection between key individuals in purportedly localised grooming gangs, collating over 1,000 convicted perpetrators, regional gangs, extended families, establishments, and “notable individuals” including councillors and police officers. What is likely to emerge is a network of affiliation both across gangs and with other forms of crime in Britain and beyond.

N.J. school district, Calif. defend secret gender transitions. California has bicoastal company in its efforts to drastically reinterpret a Supreme Court precedent that reinstated a permanent injunction against the Golden State's so-called gender secrecy policies in public schools, with the majority citing a century of parental rights precedents that it said lower courts were ignoring. Moms for Liberty is suing a New York City suburb on behalf of unnamed members with children there, seeking to force New Jersey's Chathams School District to notify and give parents veto power over their children's "asserted 'gender transition'" and "social transition-related accommodations," arguing a trio of related policies violate the Mirabelli precedent.

Nihilists, Man: WPATH Goes the Full Lebowski
Topic: Political Correctness

The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) has made a serious turnaround in its public position on pediatric sex changes. For years, it established itself as the pre-eminent scientific voice on transgender transition therapies, and claimed that it had the standing to define the standard of care in that medical 'discipline.' The American medical establishment relied on WPATH as legal and political cover for pediatric sex change operations and chemical treatments. Now that it faces action from the Federal Trade Commission for fraud, however, WPATH suddenly wants to wrap itself in the First Amendment. All of those claims about a scientific basis for chemical and surgical sex changes on children? That was just their opinion, man!

Did You Know That a Trans Man Has Already Played in the WNBA?
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: Hot Air
It's fascinating to me that none of this has come up in all the discussion about the WNBA's fight over the eligibility of Royce White and Enes Freedom, although it does likely explain why the commissioner and her team of advisors were stymied when they tried to define the word "woman" in order to exclude these two former men from eligibility to play. By its own standards, they have already allowed a man to play, and by their own standards the issue does not appear to be testosterone levels. And if the definition of male or female is simply self-identification, their claim that these two beautiful females are not women is based entirely on mind-reading, since they both claim to identify as women. [Ed: this would have significant legal implications for banning another biological male who claims to be a woman.]

Matt Kendrick, CEO of Good Good Golf, told Front Office Sports that the company had “removed people responsible for the ad” following widespread backlash over the advertisement. The video featured Good Good Golf co-founder Garrett Clark knocking influencer Alexis Mietwoski to the ground as she attempted to grab a golf driver. Clark then said, “Do not touch my driver.” The ad immediately drew backlash for its depiction of a man hitting a woman.
