A gunman opened fire in a crowded Orlando nightclub

Uber will be offering free rides, two per person up to $20 each, to and from select venues that are important to the LGBTQ community in 40 cities starting today. Venues include various LGBTQ community centers as well as places that hold historic value like the Stonewall Inn in New York City, which is often credited as the birthplace of the gay rights movement.

The weekend-long discounts are being rolled out in the wake of the mass shooting at Pulse, a gay nightclub, in Orlando, Fla., that left 49 dead and many others injured last weekend. But, the discounts won’t apply in Orlando, where Uber has been working instead with local and state officials to offer family members of the victims of the shooting free trips while they’re in the Orlando area.

The hactivist collective Anonymous hacked the Twitter accounts of pro-Islamic State militants, decorating them with gay pride symbols, pro-LGBT slogans and links to gay pornography in the wake of the deadly attack on an Orlando nightclub.

A hacker, who goes by the name WauchulaGhost, draped some accounts with the rainbow flag and messages like “I’m Gay and I’m Proud.” The hacker vigilante claims to have taken over 200 Twitter accounts belonging to ISIS supporters in retaliation for the group’s public praise of the mass shooting at the gay nightclub Pulse.

How will the next president respond to a national crisis?

The social media messages of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump in the aftermath of the Orlando mass shooting illustrate the differences in approach of the two presumptive presidential nominees.

A mass shooting at a nightclub in Orlando has left at least 50 dead and 53 wounded. Reliable news on the situation can be hard to come by, though, as chatter on social media quickly turns to rumor and speculation.

Here’s a list of journalists, some on the ground in Orlando, others based elsewhere in the world, who are following the various threads of the story.

Fifty people are dead and another 53 people are injured after a shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando in what now ranks as the deadliest attack on American soil since 9/11.

The suspect has been identified as a 29-year-old American-born man of Afghan descent named Omar Saddiqui Mateen. He was killed in a shootout with an Orlando police SWAT team early this morning that apparently saved 30 hostages. You can read more on the facts of the case so far here.
