Parliament Bans Cousin Marriage After Years of Mass Migration Fallout. Sweden’s parliament, presently controlled by center-right, conservative majority, has taken a decisive step in confronting a controversial practice increasingly linked to migration, unanimously voting to ban cousin marriages and other close-relative unions in what many see as a long-overdue correction to decades of failed integration policies. The new law, according reports from the Swedish press, introduces a blanket prohibition on marriages between cousins, as well as a wider ban on unions between other close relatives. It is scheduled to come into force on July 1, 2026.

...after backlash over forcing operating systems to collect users’ ages — amendment proposed by the same lawmaker who wrote the original law. California lawmakers may be backing away from a controversial age-verification requirement bill that alarmed Linux and open-source developers earlier this year, after a new amendment bill proposed exempting most open-source operating systems from the state’s upcoming Digital Age Assurance Act. In practice, that would likely exempt most mainstream Linux distributions — including Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, Arch Linux, and Mint — from compliance requirements scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2027.

Tens of thousands of residents had been ordered to evacuate as the fires spread across areas including Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, and the surrounding communities, with no indication that any of the blazes were close to being contained. Newsom vowed to not rest until much-needed relief funding was funneled to the state's DEI programs.

Campaigners say code of practice warning staff not to question people’s genders ‘risks harassment’. The updated code of practice from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) states that information about sex is “sensitive” and should be treated as “special category data”. The guidance approved by Bridget Phillipson, the Education Secretary and equalities minister, was published last week after months of delays. It says trans people should not be asked what sex they are before using lavatories or changing rooms. It also warns firms it would not be “practical or appropriate” for staff to challenge individuals they suspected were using the wrong facilities.

US Facing ‘Existential Crisis’ As Fertility Rate Continues To Decline

The U.S. is currently facing a continuously worsening fertility crisis, according to analysts. While the nation’s fertility rate has been declining for decades, it dropped to a new record low in 2025. Experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation that deregulation, improving fertility care and bringing down costs related to raising children could help boost the declining birth rate. The U.S. general fertility rate was 53.1 births per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44 in 2025, down from 53.8 in 2024, according to National Center for Health Statistics data published in April.

...she 'had no idea what The Odyssey was' after being cast as Helen of Troy. Director Christopher Nolan caused a stir when he cast African actress Lupita Nyong'o in the dual roles of Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra in his upcoming adaptation of The Odyssey, but it turns out Nyong'o "had no idea" what the ancient Greek Homerian epic even was. Nyong'o attended Yale University. "I really had no idea what The Odyssey was," she told Elle Magazine in a recent interview. "I was like, 'oh, snap, I don't know the first thing about this.' So it was a crash course. I picked up the books and read them immediately. I have this film to thank for my Greek mythological education." She read The Odyssey, she revealed, and listened to the audiobook of The Iliad, read by Audra McDonald. "It is the best audiobook I have ever listened to."

UC Faculty Call for the Return to Standardized Testing After Shocking Decline in Skills. Years ago, I wrote a column denouncing the decision of the University of California system to drop standardized testing in the cause of greater racial diversity. Now, hundreds of UC mathematics faculty have called for a return to such testing after reports showing a thirtyfold increase in students with math skills below high school level. As written earlier, the University of California system was an early supporter of this disastrous move. It was heralded as a way to preserve diversity after voters in California repeatedly rejected race-based admissions and the Supreme Court appeared ready to bar such practices (commonly proven with reference to standardized test differentials among applicants).

"Ocasio-Cortez then issued a highly controversial call to action, demanding that “the North” travel to red states like Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee and Mississippi to fight what she described as political injustice."

Conservative Justices Resurrect the Comstock Act, Threatening Abortion Access Nationwide

A 19th-century law once used to police contraception, abortion and queer expression is finding new life in today’s Supreme Court battles over reproductive freedom. On May 1, the New Orleans-based Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals blocked the mailing of mifepristone, a common abortion medication. (The pill is also used in miscarriage care; has shown promise in treating fibroids, endometriosis, some cancers, depression and chronic inflammatory illnesses; and is currently being studied as a once-weekly contraceptive.) Their ruling restricted distribution and use of the medication to in-person clinic visits only, even as the number of brick-and-mortar abortion clinics has continued to shutter over the past year.
