Russian hacking of the 2016 election went deeper than breaking into the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign — the Russians also hacked their way into getting information about election-related hardware and software shortly before voting began. The Intercept published a top-secret National Security Agency document that shows exactly how the Russians did their dirty work in targeting election hardware and software. At the heart of the hack is a giant Microsoft security hole that has been around since before 2000 and still hasn’t been closed. And likely never will.

The death of former chancellor Helmut Kohl marks the definitive end of the post-war period in German politics.
During the coming weeks, the Supreme Court will hand down its decision in Trinity Lutheran of Columbia, Inc. v. Comer. The state of Missouri has a program reimbursing nonprofits that pave their playgrounds with recycled tires, and the case arose after the state in 2012 denied reimbursement to the Trinity Lutheran Church. Missouri’s justification was that its Blaine Amendment prohibits the state from funding religious entities. Trinity Lutheran sued, arguing that this discrimination against religiously-affiliated organizations is unconstitutional. Although the rubberized foundation of the case may seem trivial, the stakes are high. Not merely for Trinity Lutheran but for all Americans, the question is whether the Supreme Court will overcome its longstanding indifference to the layers of religious prejudice in the Blaine Amendments.

This School District Partners With LGBT Advocacy Group to Impose Transgender Policy
One LGBT advocacy group exercises significant influence on the school board and superintendent of a New Jersey school district, some parents say. Freshmen football players, changing in their high school locker room at the beginning of the school year, were startled to encounter a girl who said she identifies as a boy. The father of one of the players wrote to the school’s principal and athletic director to express concern about the “young lady” and the “comfort” of the boys, most of whom were 14 at the time and “wondering what was going on.”

Today in Native History: Natives Participate in Poor People’s Campaign; Protest BIA
On June 20, 1968, Natives protested outside the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington, D.C., at the end of the Poor People’s Campaign, an effort that had been organized by Martin Luther King, Jr., to demand economic justice for people living in poverty. The campaign, which came about a month after King’s assassination, pulled together poor people of all ethnicities in an act of civil disobedience focused on jobs and income. In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson declared a War on Poverty, but four years later, roughly one-fifth of all Americans still lived below the poverty line.
Pride Month Photos: 40 Years of Native Pride with Felipe Rose of the Village People
Felipe Rose says he can hardly believe it’s been forty years since he first was dancing at a nightclub in New York’s Greenwich Village and was approached to create the most iconic disco band ever known in American Pop culture, The Village People. Felipe Rose (Taino and Lakota) has long brought entertainment to the world, and after 40 years with the Village People, over 100 million albums sold, and performances in every continent in the world, Rose says he now feels “better than ever.” “We are always so happy to be here among such amazing people. There is so much great energy here during the Hampton Roads Pride celebration and Pride month. It is such a great place to end up after literally touring all over the world these past few months,” said Rose.

Of course we should deal with people who struggle with that sin pastorally, just like we do people who struggle with alcoholism, adultery, drug abuse, or any other passion that is especially difficult to overcome. But if we fail to communicate what sin is, it is impossible for those whom we have confused to overcome sins that they do not recognize to be such.

Capitalism Should Be Our Weapon of Choice in Cuba
Rand Paul: Embargoes don't work. Let capitalism and socialism duke it out.
Engagement or embargo? That is the question not just in Cuba but also in places like Iran, Russia, and China. Should we trade, or should we withhold our trade in hopes of changing the behavior of other nations? Which will have more impact?
