The second amendment should be for everyone, just like the first and the 4th and the 14th and all the others.

GOP Rep. Troy Nehls will celebrate July 4th with lobster tails—a delicacy most Americans can’t afford because they “don’t work as hard as I do.”

Figured this would make a good first post. #anarchism

They’re threatening to set off 850,000 fireworks over 40 minutes. The most anywhere, ever. With all the accompanying air pollution. Best case: “600 to 1,200 micrograms of PM2.5 per cubic meter in the Mall area. A worst-case scenario would see more than 2,000 micrograms per cubic meter.”

A group of Palestinian families has been pleading with the U.S. government for years to reconsider the location, claiming that the land on which the embassy is planned belongs to them, and have submitted documents supporting their claim www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

It's out! The full "Handbook on Authoritarianism in the Arab World" is available open access here: www.bloomsburycollections.com/encyclopedia...

a lot of podcasts will say that the Supreme Court sucks but we’re the only one that’s really about it

Meta selling its compute capacity...Oracle warning everybody that it might not get paid by OpenAI...going on a major business TV show tomorrow...the Summer of Smiles has begun

Microsoft this week: We're laying off half the industry. Sony: We're ending physical games. Nintendo: have u seen this splatoon weapon we call it the bloblobber

The lack of journalism on the bombing of Lebanon is proof how dystopian news publications are.

lol

By itself, this is both impeachable and cause for radical reform. The GOP Supreme Court does not even bother to explain the majority of its decisions. It's apparently too much to ask they at least barf up dishonest, unprincipled, poorly-reasoned excuses for their arbitrary exercise of power.

The knowledge of how many innocents’ deaths he is directly responsible for is clearly tormenting Musk psychologically, and I think he should be confronted with it roothlessly at every opportunity until he has a psychological break like the guy in The Tell-Tale Heart.

Bizarre story: Two journalists were removed by police from a corporate-sponsored Freedom 250 event in Brussels after they asked US Ambassador to Belgium Bill White about his threat against an American citizen/Belgian resident who had emailed Zac Brown Band urging them not to perform at the event.

I welcome a fact check, but Spain, a nation of 50 million people, accomplished the bulk of this transition in about 6 years I believe. And that’s *without* the great new batteries.

Boggles the mind that the entire world saw ICE execute defenseless people in the street and somehow there are still sitting Democrats who have a wide open flank on abolishing the agency

The way this is clearly freaking him out even though he's basically legally untouchable is very "the wicked flee when none pursueth"

I think the number one impediment to a comprehensive peace agreement snd regional stability is the country that is occupying three other countries and arbitrarily killing tens of thousands of people

NEW: Most Supreme Court Rulings Are Secretive Votes With Little Justification ProPublica conducted a new analysis that shows the court is deciding more consequential rulings than ever before in largely unsigned orders with little to no explanation.

It should also be noted that Glusenkamp Perez is one of the Dems that regularly votes for anti-trans legislation. She voted for a bill that, if enacted, would basically make it illegal to acknowledge the existence of trans people in schools (meaning trans students and trans teachers are SOL)

This is FALSE. ICE data showed DHS averaging 1,259 deportations/day through April 4. There is ZERO sign deportations rose by 154% since. Mullin also mixes up DHS's (also FALSE) claim that 70% arrested have any criminal record at all, and claims that 70% are felons. Wildly wrong.

Too cheap to meter. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

"We were going to win back moderate & Republican-leaning voters but DSA made it too hard!" Cry me a fucking river. People have already seen that making every possible compromise to widen the coalition to the right only ensures that the people on the right edge get a veto. It excites no one.

Btw in this ATF sting cops shot a teenager who was running away from them and lied that the teenager beat the cop up first. The prosecutor’s office is the same one who did a bunch of crimes in the Broadview 6 case.

i like how this manages to be a double edged insult, given that american workers assembled this plane.

One thing you can see with the reaction to birthright citizenship decision is that Great Replacement Theory is now pretty much the center of the American Right's whole project.

Just because I believe the people of Palestine should not be slaughtered doesn’t make me anti-Semitic end of story please go fuck yourself. Have a nice day

As a former professional athlete, this is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. Your kid has a less than 1% chance of getting an athletic college scholarship. You’re better off putting the money into a 529 plan.

this AM the last Prairieland 9 defendant Ines Soto was sentenced to 50 years — so he and his partner, Liz Soto, got effectively life sentences. they have 3 kids. those who took non-cooperating plea deals, Rowan Gibson and Rebecca Morgan, got 15 each. total time sentenced in this case: 530 years

By "split" we mean more than 85% of the caucus voted for Tlaib's bill

it is in fact racism

the use of “performative” as an insult here is why these people are losing their primaries. yes, voters want you to perform their anger and disgust! they want representatives to represent their symbolic interests! the idea that good representation is necessarily quiet and unobtrusive is wrong!

See that skyrocketing blue line? That’s the number of times that SCOTUS has been issuing unsigned, unexplained rulings.

This is art.

One thing that's undeniably true is that throughout all of 2023 and 2024 we were told that if we wanted better politics on Palestine we need to elect better Democrats and now that we're doing that we're being told not to do that lol

if youre too afraid to say it you shouldnt be the nominee

i want to apologize to any followers i may have inadvertently cost their once in a lifetime huge payout when i said on the day he was shot that people should be exceedingly cautious about what they post online. that was my bad. lesson about responsible social media use unlearned

There are two things I believe in when it comes to understanding the world: - the first is that more things are inevitable than we care to admit and - the second is the power of inertia is orders of magnitude stronger than we think Meta has already been dead for 3-4 years.

Hm!

The collective journalistic freakout over someone disliking a cafeteria sandwich at Oberlin or some Yale students asking their peers to be less racist at Halloween has generated far more copy and uproar than multiple universities illegally firing faculty for nonconservative speech they disliked.

"Never before in American history has there been anything like Donald J. Trump, a president who in his first year back in office has collected about $1.4 billion in new revenues from cryptocurrency businesses that directly benefited from his actions as president." www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/u...

Not a great economy alert! Wall Street Bets users think Palantir spiked today because The Onion story titled “Palantir Acquires Pentagon for $800 Billion” hit their front page. They’re guessing trading bots indexed the top post on the subreddit reddit not understanding source.

we are one john roberts heart attack away from the complete dissolution of the reconstruction amendments and instantiation of a formalized caste system

the egg price thing under biden was all fake lol

Another W for chicken fanciers from sea to shining sea. Together we can defeat big egg by decentralizing and decapitalizing our relationship with our bird friends.

"Edgar shares, "I've worked in the fields of Salinas for 20 years. Spent long hours bending my back, cutting and harvesting lettuce, cutting my hands, and pushing through pain to help put food on people’s tables." "Farmworkers are essential. We are not disposable." #WeFeedYou

This was correct in 2014, as was "Sotomayor & Kagan should immediately retire in Jan 2021," as was "Thurgood Marshall should have retired in 1978" etc. Pretending Justices were irreplaceable geniuses instead of aging partisan votes in a 9-member super-legislature has been Democrats' fatal error.

If you didn’t know, former @sciam.bsky.social owner Springer Nature sold us just three days ahead of the tally of the vote to unionize. It resulted in layoffs, including 60% of the union’s organizing committee. We’re out here to fight, to keep doing vital science journalism.
