I do think it's very, very funny when they try this from the angle of "look I KNOW it's NORMALLY against the law but this was an EMERGENCY" just very hard to get me on board with your frenzied sense of urgency when you're protesting something that happened when Lyndon B. Johnson was President

Well fuck. Also: this is what the House considered most important?

Tired of ICE mercenaries terrorizing your community? Afraid that they're going to murder yet another person—perhaps one of your neighbors? Find out where they sleep. Go there and make sure they cannot sleep. It's easy enough. Here's how people did it in Minnesota: crimethinc.com/noisedemos

"Rules and regulations bind the actions of the government machinery. The rules cause friction in the gears that get things done. … However, those rules are there for good reason. After all, hiring your buddy in a no-bid contract is how you get a reflecting pool full of algae."

it’s hard to explain how much shit like this has radicalized people. like i’m a white middle-aged broad who’s always been liberal but i’ve gone full-on “abolish ICE/reform scotus/the next dem candidate must commit to mass prosecutions” and you will not sway me from that position.

An unfathomable clean air act violation. I worked in this exact field for years, including in oil and gas, and i still can't get over how wanton and obvious this crime is. Just stunning

Spending the morning arguing with day job AI agent, which is just... on a real tear of making shit up this morning. I have given up and gone straight to our CRM to do everything manually. What terrifies me is that these things are running rampant in companies and NO ONE IS CHECKING THE WORK.

In Washington state, a proposed bill threatens to force all girls, but not boys, to undergo invasive, medically unnecessary genital inspections or hormone tests to play sports with their friends. Policies that seek to exclude transgender youth end up putting all youth at risk.

The insults we give are often reflections of our own insecurities. We call others what we fear we might be. 99.99999% of the time, when a man wants to hurt a woman's feelings, he tries to convince her that she's dumb and unfuckable.

I tried. I really tried. For over a decade I patiently explained how actually the science shows trans women likely don't have an unfair advantage. i was civil about it. no one believed me. it was all "penis = strong" slop. transphobia-slop. now they're coming for all women's education protections.

most murders are committed by someone the victim knows - a partner, neighbor etc. but in cases where there is no relationship between murderer & victim? the killer is a cop about a third of the time. if you are killed by a stranger, there is a 1 in 3 chance that stranger is a cop.

Authorities say ICE shot and killed a person this morning in Maine. www.wmtw.com/article/signific...

I would be terrible! (Restauranteur, physician, and Google pm). Except for the one who is retired, i would be great at that

Very good point

I’ll give you a nickel if you can guess who Fain/UAW backed in 2024

I do honestly believe that it will eventually come out that many GOP have been seriously blackmailed and threatened over the past decade.

wait Lindsey Graham just died?! what the fuck?! may he be remembered accurately: as an awful warmonger who deliberately chose to empower the worst people in the world despite knowing better

“I’ve never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure” - often misattributed to Twain.

foo, both of the teams I wanted to lose, didn't

"They just want to turn it off." A fascinating story of the librarians who have started teaching classes showing people how to remove AI "features" from their phones and apps. www.bangordailynews.com/2026/07/02/m...

yay!

Verify your age: I first knew Rita Moreno from her role on "The Electric Company"

Not sure when I last shared this one, but who cares, I know some of you need to hear it, treat your ears, feed your brain, raise morale: youtu.be/wEBlaMOmKV4?...

i think I want Switzerland to win, if only to punish Argentina for knocking Cabo Verde out of the tournament

Norway pay their female international players the same amount as their male players and have done since 2017.

holy cow

ugh, another 30 minutes in that heat!

I played soccer for about ten years; it will never not freak me out when I see someone play the ball back and in towards the goal. At the level I played that was such a risky move.

never stop pressuring the keeper!

#uspoli I have heard nothing about this, this is terrible.

Trump Confirms: Accepting a Flying Bribery Palace Made Him Less Safe emptywheel.net/2026/07/11/t...

Reminder: Memphis is still “under full-blown occupation” by ICE. Task force members have reportedly killed at least two people in four days.

Development that degrades or destroys a species’ habitat is no longer considered “harm” to their survival or recovery.

I don't think you have to be a parasite expert to understand that commercially distributed salad that is safe to eat raw is a wonder of modern food distribution which requires a functional enough government for testing and outbreak management.

It was the Dunning of tymes. It was the Kruger of tymes.

I feel the same way about genAI fanfic. If someone thought it was a respectable way to "produce content" (ugh) for fandom, they'd tag it. But no. They want the credit/accolades for WRITING, and they don't want people to filter out their work bc they feel entitled to readers.

$7m may seem like a lot but it doesn't go that far in ... Iowa?

SCOTUS has gone so far in trying to protect article II powers that they've given POTUS a free hand to encroach on article I powers.

There wasn't anything out there talking through the deals the Trump admin says it's offering on self-deportation, the policy reality, and the legal risks. That's a problem, since a _lot_ of people are likely considering the option. So I wrote it. documentedny.com/2026/07/10/t...

"We must restore federal civilian employment outside defense and security toward pre-sequestration benchmarks… The costs of underfunding the government, and of starving American state capacity, as well as the benefits of restoring that capacity, are immense." www.liberalcurrents.com/how-to-rebui...

there are men on the left who will see right wing men as their allies above left wing women because in their eyes the former confirms masculinity and the latter conveys weakness

There's a revolution happening in urban transportation across the world. It's not EVs, not even autonomous EVs. It's got nothing to do with AI. No tech mogul is getting rich off it. Instead, the revolution is centered on an older, simpler technology: bicycles.

Promising, if achievable

Every time, there's a swell of, "Why didn't she come forward for us to scream at her earlier in the process?" She's watched people like you scream at people like her her entire fucking life.

If it had been revealed that Biden’s cabinet secretaries were fighting like children over who got to waste taxpayer dollars, the tone of this article would be very different.

What the actual fuck
