Americans even contemplating doing anything celebratory today: You owe help to high school, undergrad, and master’s students in & from Gaza so they can continue their educations, which you and I have robbed from them.

Happy birthday America! The United States was started 250 years ago today, but it was not finished 250 years ago today. Our story is incomplete. Our Constitution is based on ideas from the French enlightenment. But we added racism to their ideas, and corrupted it. We're still fixing that mistake.

this is, once again, why I prefer to refer to them as the “framers” rather than the “founders” they built a framework that is supposed to be adaptable to a changing society, that doesn’t mean they should be venerated like saints

AI can make stupid people feel smart. None of are immune. That includes you. (Stupid people = stupid in a domain. People are multi-dimensional and IQ is bullshit.)

I was trying to make this case to folks the other night. What a gift to see every team with a diasporic rooting section.

hell yeah brother

We're constantly told that women can never compete with men and yet Kelsey Pfendler is about to set the record for the fastest solo row from California to Hawaii, beating the men's record by a full week. What an incredible feat of athleticism, endurance, and grit.

It seems like someone is trying to send a message.

The Left(s) should get onboard with a massive expansion of public libraries across the country over the next 25 years. This is an affirmative project.

I think Zohran has increased my expectations of politicians. No more of this lesser of two evils stuff.

Holy shit. This is Fox reporting on the “Trump family: biggest grift of all time.” For once, they accidentally wandered into the truth.

Incredible

Don't want to speak ill of the dead, so getting this Mitch McConnell take out now. He saw Trump with complete clarity, as a danger to America, but protected him anyway. Perhaps more than anyone, he had the power to end Trumpism, but chose party over country. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/jan-6-and-...

NEW: CNN just talked about heat related ailments wt Trump’s state fair: 44 patients, 11 transported - 7 of those on advanced life support

If people read Black abolitionists and Black feminists more carefully and with the rigor that afford to white male theorists, then lots more things be might be clearer to them.

Of course Mr. Barghouti will run if the presidential elections are ever held, and he will of course win. But the pertinent questions are whether or not it will be held and whether or not the West will care if he wins. It is entirely possible he becomes president and nobody demands his release.

4 MONTHS FROM TODAY are the Midterm Elections. Make sure you & everyone you know are registered to VOTE. VOTE for Dems to take back the House & Senate. VOTE to hold the most corrupt individual ever to occupy the WH accountable! VOTE to let our country to begin to heal. 🇺🇸 On 11/3/26: VOTE BLUE 🌊

"Should Democrats turn down money from AI companies?" Democrats should turn down money from ALL companies.

Why don't our schools get the funding they need? Because there's not a lobby for public schools. Kids don't have a corporate PAC. We must be willing to take on the political system that always puts corporations over people.

The AC is out at ICE's detention facility in Newark, where it currently feels like 107 degrees. Detainees say not even the ventilation is working, and that the water is dirty. Health inspectors recently tried to inspect the facility. They were turned away. www.nj.com/politics/202...

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

We gotta imprison each of these shithead AI ceo's in a different data center like the minotaur

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 USA! USA! Why don't Black people in the US call 911, part 9 million. You never know when one of these officers is going to show up, to make something out of nothing. Creating a dangerous situation for no reason. 1 in every ~200 of these unnecessary confrontations, US cops kill someone.🤷🏿‍♂️

14-year old girl arrested for speaking out against Data Centers in her community

Both things are true: 1) White Dems hold Black politicians to a much higher standard than White politicians. 2) Hakeem Jeffries was slow to see this moment, is in opposition to the Democratic Socialist movement, and will not lead the type of change at the pace that DemSoc voters are looking for.

I really don't understand why the US is hosting the world cup

El-Sayed: "There's no room I've been to where somebody doesn't come up & say, 'I voted for Trump & I'm voting for you.' That might break some minds in NY or DC, but here in MI people understand we're struggling & they say, 'I want America first. I thought that's what that guy was gonna give me.'"

Elon had this community note removed as of this morning

lol i swear to god this is an actual commercial that just ran on fox news

That’s the difference.

Some people just want a boot on their neck, I don't know what to tell you

Do white USians wonder how it feels like for non-white people to live in a country where the President is a full on racist white supremacist? Like where he announces every single day that you are inferior, unintelligent, and need to be eliminated from the country?

Today is the one thousandth day of the genocide in Occupied Palestine.

Hi, friends. The last 6 years have been a blast, but I just don't like being on The Internet anymore. I'm leaving DevRel, and I wrote a little bit about why. Look after yourselves, and each other. Love, Salma

🚨 HUGE ongoing surge of ICE arrests, with ICE directing 80% of all officers to go out into the field and round people up, aiming to hit 2,000 arrests a day; which would be more than during the Minneapolis surge. This may be why the nun in Texas got briefly picked up. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

Abdul El-Sayed "Now the question about a right to exist is interesting because nobody's ever asked me whether or not I believe Palestine has a right to exist. Israel exists. The question is whether or not we want a politics where our money is sent over to Israel to do genocide and apartheid..."

Trump: "How a Jewish person can vote for a Democrat is beyond me. I've been the best president in the history of Israel."

Read this thread, sit with it, and check out the store. I have gotten awesome pins, an IV zipper hoodie, and compression socks from it. You also want fun colorful accessibility aids, don't you? bibipins.com

Tech and startup bros are so disgusting!

I like my chances against Mike Rogers😊
