Trump is threatening to tariff Canada for smoke from fires, saying they don’t do mitigation (which is bullshit), the week a Canadian pilot died fighting fire in Colorado. Great stuff

I have a new theory. I call it the "Aquinas Line", or the position where educational attainment seems to divide Democrat led and Republican led states.

One would think that Trump's mouth flapping would generate such a massive amount of wind that it would keep the Canadian smoke out of the US.

Escorting the nine-year-old to a friend’s birthday pool party, I told him I wasn’t going to swim in part because I’m dressed for work. He told me I could just jump in like Mamdani did. This is what socialism does to our children.

This is so damn good: "That centralized capitalist is now driving out of business Western decentralized capitalists. This is why the latter have... stop the centralized capitalist from winning. But they have to do all of that while never mentioning the role their own profits play in it."

This AP investigation into David Brouillette, the ICE agent who shot Durán Guerrero in Maine is genuinely horrifying. Long history of extreme mental illness, chronic violence agst spouses and kids, PTSD and heightened violence from mil service. apnews.com/article/ice-...

Now that we know the truth about election fraud, Trump should resign and call a new presidential election.

The most anti-legal immigrant administration ever just made it illegal for international students to transfer schools or change majors or shift any "educational objective" in their 1st year and for graduate students **at any point** ever, at all. There is no legal basis for this

Massie: "I don't think the problem is that our elections aren't secure because we control the House, Senate, White House, and to some degree we control the Supreme Court. So I ask my Republican colleagues, why are you complaining about election fraud? We won all the damn elections!"

“They say their government has foolishly slashed public health resources and now they have parasites in their food supply.”

Good news. The @wnba.com is also on the official app of sports.

Electric cars are taking off quickly in Latin America— Five years ago, almost no one in Latin America bought an electric car. Today, the situation is different: electric cars now make up a meaningful and fast-growing share of new car sales.

Is it a good idea to take Georgia's senators away when the state has a history of seceding?

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social @gallego.senate.gov Protect Haitians with protected status. Let's get this done!

TPS holders have built lives, careers, and futures in our communities because their countries are unsafe to return to. A bipartisan majority in the House has already acted to protect them, now the Senate needs to pass the bill to get it done.

I met with Haitian families in Mesa to hear about the fear they're living with after the Supreme Court allowed Trump to rip away their Temporary Protected Status.

The highlighted bit here from @gelliottmorris.com underscores an argument I made in an article in @poppublicsphere.bsky.social that there are at least two fundamentally distinct kinds of partisans: identity & closeness. Closeness partisans don't self-identify, but 'feel close' to a party. See below:

In Norway, no sports scores are recorded for kids under age 11. No national tournaments for kids under age of 13. Part of “idrettsglede” (“the joy of sports”) where taking part & having fun more important than winning. Prevents destructive competitiveness, burn-out and crazy sports parents.

Honest question: Do Republican senators die in threes?

On this day 105 years ago-Jul. 11, 1921-William Howard Taft was sworn in as Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. To date, he is the only American to serve as both President of the United States (1909-13) and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (1921-30). Image: Public domain.

CALL YOUR SENATORS NOW! Support our Haitian brothers and sisters!

“Of course Ian and I are going to work for free,” Rollins told me via Zoom. “No money was ever offered or asked for. I don’t want a dollar. I’ve got the bucks. Isn’t this what you spend money on? What would you rather do? Do fentanyl or work with a Cramps catalogue?”

There's certain people who have to learn the difference between an organisation "disappearing" vs not posting on X anymore. I just watched a video of two very self-serious people who clearly spend too much time on X talking about how Bellingcat has just vanished.

A total violation of international law. Eswatini is imprisoning people from multiple countries no crime, based on no violation of law in that country, and with the direct knowledge and acquiescence of the United States.
