ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

Happy Hump Day from North Cascades National Park

THE US HAVING A WHITES-ONLY REFUGEE POLICY SHOULD BE A MUCH BIGGER STORY

Trump is preparing to fire the leadership of the Smithsonian Institution, one of America's most prestigious scientific and historical research and education organizations. He wants in particular to censor the Smithonian's American History exhibits:

First time at Rooster Rock! Thanks @lycdoan.bsky.social for showing me around and taking fabulous pics!

I hope Mexico beats England today as revenge for Mexico week on the Great British Bake-off

BIRTHDAY suit kinda day

How I strive to be:

Birthright citizenship is going to be the new Roe v Wade in the sense that Democrats need to win more elections than they lose in perpetuity to protect it, because Republicans are not making the mistake of appointing another Justice who will uphold it, ever

Fireworks at 1AM. Sweet Jesus. My sympathies to all pet owners in the DMV tonight

God bless 🙏🏼 Does Trump even speak to an empty crowd now?

One can hope those thunderstorms pop up in DC right around 8:45/9

Hour 6 (of 8) on a plane today. AMA I guess

Maybe I should root for Morocco to go all the way now

the Douglass Commonwealth is not without natural defenses

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow. Happy 250, America!

Thank God I escaped today. Also hope they understand that hydrating today is woke and gay

Just about to leave here

A happy fcf to all yall

For anyone who (falsely, cluelessly) thinks the media isn't heavily biased towards MAGA/Trump and against Democrats... bluevirginia.us/2026/07/thur... h/t @ziogas.bsky.social

Legitimately worried someone is going to die of heatstroke. On Saturday the “feels like” temp is forecast at 98 degrees for 6PM.

it’s july 1

I keep seeing people thinking this is a bluesky problem. If you're seeing this it thinks you're in a state or country with age verification laws. This is what every social media site will do if KOSA and the KIDS Act succeeds. Running to another socmed won't fix it, we have to fight the source.

Here’s Why Weather Forecasts Have Seemed So Inaccurate Lately. Meteorologists simply aren't able to gather as much data as they used to, and you're suffering for it. gizmodo.com/heres-why-we...

After 6 months of regular gym time and altering my diet a little bit (more protein and slightly less carbs, slight calorie deficit), I'm down 20 lbs, gained a few pounds of muscle mass, lost 6.5% in body fat. These are both after pics, just one of them is in my cute new Teamm8 undies

I am stunned that the constitutional question was so close. I thought it would be 6–3 or 7–2. It is profoundly disturbing that four justices would allow either the president or Congress to rewrite the plain text of the 14th Amendment. This is obviously a good outcome, but the margin is alarming.

The supermajority's decision in NRSC allows wealthy donors to circumvent limits on contributions to individual candidates by donating much larger sums to political parties, which can now spend the money in direct coordination with specific candidates. An open invitation for quid pro quo corruption.

Please don't threaten me with a good time!!!

There's literally twice as many folks on the other side of the stage watching the World Cup 😅

As usual the Supreme Court thinks Trump can fire whoever it wants except for the ppl who help control the value of money and broader economic conditions

The Supreme Court's first opinion is Watson v. RNC. By a 5–4 vote, the Supreme Court UPHOLDS state laws that allow the counting of mail ballots that are sent by Election Day but arrive shortly thereafter. Roberts and Barrett join the liberals. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

I don't know how Pixar keeps doing it but Toy Story 5 was so good.

As a long time Shirley Temple fan I do love the drink's resurgence lately

Was panicking that I needed to renew my passport before my birthday a week from now and it turns out...the expiration date is in October

Here's the thing: throughout history, America has been held hostage by white racists who'd rather see nobody, including themselves, have nice things than to see Black and Brown people be treated as human beings

Apparently someone's right to carry a gun at all times, even if you don't know if they can even safely operate one, supersedes your right to have a safe and fun free home 🙃

Sad for Bores but happy for Lander, Valdez, and hopefully also Chavelier

Mother Nature allowed good weather for the gays as a treat this Pride weekend but then brutally made sure we knew it was a swamp today

I'd like to shout out prison litigators, who perform the vital yet thankless task of protecting constitutional rights behind bars. They are in the trenches fighting to secure basic decency and safety for a deeply vulnerable population whom most would rather ignore. It's courageous and heroic work.

Belated Happy Pride from DC

My dad's not in this bc he's not white but this is fascinating

My question is: Do we have a mayor in DC currently, or did she just leave town after the primary? A City Council? How do you allow this?

Fuck this shit and the fucking fucks trying to fucking do this. www.cbsnews.com/news/denatur...

Costco sold out of rotisserie chicken and an hour still left before it closes. How am I going to get swol on a budget now!? 🥲

I dug into why there were lines outside D.C. polling places on Tuesday night that delayed the reporting of results for almost three hours. Come for the nerdy details, stay for the finger-pointing from city officials. In @notus.com: www.notus.org/metro/dc-ele...

The National Park Service is closing Dupont Circle for DC Pride weekend because Republicans hate joy #FreeDC www.nps.gov/nama/learn/m...

JLG's lead is so impressive you can't even see the commie corridor as the lead reaches into Cap Hill and many long time middle income Black neighborhoods in Wards 4, 5, and 8

UPDATE: A D.C. Board of Elections spokesperson tells me there are still lines at eight voting centers in D.C., so results won't be released until those are cleared.

Imagine if reporters asked questions as hard as the hosts of The View
