i will not forget the men who downplayed the earlier allegations of abuse against platner and said accepting them was just the price we had to pay to gain control of the senate. i hope they feel like fucking assholes.

Oh its OVER OVER

Why wasn’t the Nazi tattoo enough

Today, we're rescinding our endorsement of Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner and calling on him to immediately withdraw from the race. See the full statement below.

6. Even for those who aren’t affected by these cuts, the story doesn’t end here. SB 904 bars state property from being used to provide gender-affirming care, and this has immediately forced the University of Oklahoma’s health system, OU Health, to stop providing gender-affirming care to adults.

5. Another 8% of Oklahomans get their healthcare through ACA individual plans—state-subsidized plans that are also subject to SB 904’s new restrictions on GAC. Through this data, the picture becomes much clearer: gender-affirming care just got a lot more difficult to access in Oklahoma.

1. A new Oklahoma law has effectively banned gender-affirming care for many trans adults. Senate Bill 904 has forced many doctors to stop providing gender-affirming care to adults, cut insurance coverage for many trans people, and severely strained the rest of the dwindling care network.

Plans for the largest data center in the world have been abandoned. Blackstone-owned QTS has decided not to appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court, giving up on the world’s largest data center. Fierce opposition and organizing from residents of Price William County ultimately beat out Blackstone.

American right wingers have been calling everything they don't like 'communism' since they learned the word! we've got over a century of precedent on this. integration? communism. unions? communism. anti-war protests? communism. same as it ever was. I explored that a bit in an episode last summer.

"the US Embassy did not address specific questions about whether it was concerned about the optics of the US ambassador lending support to someone who had been criminally convicted for leading an occupation of Canada’s capital city, but instead suggested Lich had been accredited as a journalist." 🤡

Twitter thinks another bad Platner story is in the pipe, and Platner seems to be acting like it too

A Florida police officer met a woman on a TV set, surveilled her for weeks, stalked her, and nearly caused a head-on collision while chasing her to pull her over.

The second person that ICE "warned" about their protected speech has filed a First Amendment lawsuit. The complaint, linked in this story, does a nice job making ICE look both menacing and incompetent www.npr.org/2026/07/06/n...

I'm in Vyshneve. I'm not doing well, to be honest. Half the streets are closed and smoke is still waiting through the town. Most buildings don't have power.

Israel’s assault on Gaza could resume within the next two months, potentially before the October elections, with Channel 12 citing Israeli officials as saying that the US-led “Board of Peace” is set to conclude that Hamas violated the “ceasefire” deal by refusing to disarm.

According to the ICJ (International Court of Justice) the occupation is illegal, and so is all cooperation with or support of settlements and settlers. Therefor this so called "UK charity" is breaking international law. And by letting them do so, the UK is breaking it too. Make them accountable!

UPDATE: CNBC responds, says it only includes the disclosure of their financial relationship with Kalshi when it is "directly relevant to the story" These are examples of stories where CNBC determined it wasn't "relevant" to disclose that the company invests in Kalshi and gets paid for new customers

NEW: The ICE office that customarily probes employee misconduct is being refocused to investigate ICE critics, opening hundreds of "doxing and threat" cases and subpoenaing tech companies to unmask anonymous posters. Detention facility inspections, meanwhile, are plummeting. by @regret.bsky.social

This is an actual screenshot from the syllabus for this class. Beyond parody

data visualization is my passion.

This is the exploitative H2A guest worker program that Donald Trump and Members of Congress are seeking to expand further — undercutting every farm worker’s wages and displacing local jobs. 1/2

Our culture is dominated by billionaire narcissists in a way that I would once have struggled to believe

When the govt of a nation founded on religious liberty has been taken over by Christian Nationalists, abusing state power to impose their anti-Constitutional vision, I’d like an opposition party leader to speak the truth about history instead of adopting the Cristian Nationalists’ preferred fiction.

NEW: A first-of-its-kind ProPublica analysis found that children who entered the U.S. by themselves are being detained and removed at about three times the rate they were during the final years of the first Trump presidency.

When 18-year-old Elder Chavez was pulled over for going 15 mph over the limit, he tried to show officers docs the US govt granted him after his parents abandoned him in Honduras and he crossed the border alone. He was put in ICE detention anyway. 🧵 1/ www.propublica.org/article/unac...

New Zealand’s approval of Roundup is based on reviews shaped by Monsanto. But one has now been retracted and others are under investigation.

".. we have been seeing Israeli air strikes, drone strikes, artillery shelling, home demolitions.." Zeina Khodr reports this morning that Israel is continuing to bomb villages in southern Lebanon in order to stop people returning to their home

ADHD Women's Summit— a summit specifically for a cohort of people CATEGORICALLY KNOWN to have auditory processing issues— is *Charging A Fee*. For *Subtitles*. What in the ACTUAL FUCK.

Every "moderate" Democrat you know is a 2008 era Republican since the Overton window has shifted so much.

EXCLUSIVE: On July 4, the same day Republicans peddled lies about God and American history… …so did Chuck Schumer. I even found a Facebook post they edited…without removing the key falsehood.

The military is shooting people in the American cities they’re occupying.

The Trump administration filed 32 appeals to the Supreme Court’s emergency docket in 2025 alone, one analysis found. The Obama and George W. Bush administrations filed just eight petitions in 16 years, according to the Brennan Center for Justice.

Secrecy surrounding executions in Florida has left victims’ families, prisoners and lawyers searching for clues about the governor’s selection process. “He could be deciding who is next to die by throwing darts at a list of names,” one lawyer said. with @nytimes.com

It is insanely frustrating that Abdul El-Sayed got asked about Hasan Piker during every media appearance but Mallory McMorrow was never asked "Doesn't hiring a woman who spent years trying to silence Andrew Cuomo's victims contradict the notion that you care about women?"

A reminder that Michigan AG Dana Nessel indicted 8 students on trumped up charges for the crime of being opposed to Israeli apartheid and genocide, then she, Jake Tapper, and Dana Bash *made up* a quote from Rashida Tlaib criticizing this to call her an antisemite, and then the case got dismissed.

In May, Tony Carruthers joined a horrifying list of more than 270 people across the country who have had their executions botched. He is one of only a handful who survived. Tennessee Governor Bill Lee must grant Tony clemency to prevent him from being tortured again.

Trump did a corruption to make sure Balogun was eligible to play, but his administration is simultaneously doing everything it can to strip his citizenship. What a fucking country.

my pharmacy's screwed me out of injection supplies and ill have to get them elsewhere. won't be cheap so if anyone could pitch in it'd be really appreciated. i only have a week's worth left

Crazy to do this after early ballots already went out

Haley Stevens voted to:

Boosting Soad in Gaza once more. Any help goes a long way, they're still planning to keep surviving and want to build a better life

Tucson, not even a checkpoint: agents smash windows, drag a US citizen to the ground, falsely claim he had a gun — then assault the man filming it. Fourth Amendment, First Amendment, § 242, all violated in one stop. This is what 'law enforcement' looks like when profiling replaces probable cause.
