Thousands outside Terminal 1 at the Minneapolis airport now.

What a crazy crazy game in Pittsburgh. The pressure on kickers is so profound and real. The swing between success and failure can be soul crushing. Loop will feel this for a long time, and he bailed out Baldwin, who failed in his own right. Wild.

They are running the government according to the logic of right-wing grievance media. I cannot emphasize that enough. The point is to create content, and they don't see an actual difference between dunking on Sabrina Carpenter, passing legislation, and bombing other countries.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

The Iowa wave to the kids at the Children’s Hospital at the end of the 1st quarter is one of the great traditions in college sports ❤️

AOC: All in the name of Charlie Kirk, Trump and the FCC are now cynically threatening to shut down ABC and any outlets who give air time to the administration's political critics. This is a disgusting attack on the American people and the very first amendment rights that define us as a country.

Sold the Disney stock today

You have to wonder when they start targeting podcasters, pressuring platforms like Apple, Spotify, even Substack, to cancel the programming and accounts of those who speak ill of pretty much anything that the architects of Project 2025 oppose. It can happen here, and soon.

So, Charlie Kirk was not a purveyor of hate, intolerance and disinformation and was instead a paragon of open debate and free speech, which is why anyone who says anything bad about the fellow needs to be identified and targeted so they'll shut up and maybe lose their jobs. Cool. Just checking.

Citizens United, Donald Trump, and social media has really fucked this country up.

The United States could have great things like this. But we like to spend our money on kidnapping people and trafficking them to concentration camps instead. #Priorities

“Nobody’s talking about Rockbridge, and that’s exactly how they want it.” Ashley on the Private Club for Billionaires where Vance, Thiel, etc. map out the right-wing takeover 🇺🇸

Not ironically they discovered it wasn’t a statue but Brady himself.

"The idea of Gutfeld calling someone else an asshole angered the gods so much that Gutfeld! went black. A few minutes later, the feed was re-established and all that remained was an ass print on Gutfeld’s chair. Fox cut to a commercial for reverse mortgages." www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

We seem to live in a daily hellscape where the question is always, what’s going to happen next. And there’s seemingly no retribution for the bad guys, who are pulling all the levers.

Yes, I flipped off a bigot harassing toddlers at a drag queen story hour. No, I won't apologize for it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXd7...

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

Spending taxpayer money on a foreign war because Israel told him to do it so they'd let him build Trump Gaza Golf has literally nothing to do with America and everything to do with Trump enriching himself personally.

Bernie Sanders did in fact find out about the attack on Iran during his speech in Tulsa. This is that gut wrenching moment when he stopped his speech and announced Trump’s post then informed the audience that we are now at war with Iran. Sanders made clear it’s unconstitutional.

@shawnkopelakis.bsky.social Hey Shawn! Long time! Happy and surprised to find you here. Hope we can catch up. Your former freelance employee B. Smith

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Let's be clear what is going on: After Elon correctly confirmed that the Big Ugly Bill would put a bigger hole in the deficit, Stephen Miller incited a panic he wants to use to pass the bill as a promise to impose martial law on Dem cities and states. www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/08/t...

Some very good posts in here, and also one by me. I recommend subscribing to @flaminghydra.com if good posts are something you are into.

Just listened to @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social and whoo boy… this corrupt administration is systematically building the perfect setting for the perfect crime

I love pointing out that most people on the planet have an above average number of legs. Makes people sit and think about how averages work.

Driving through old town Pasadena today during the protest. Good people doing great things! #handsoff

The best sign of the day, by far.

Corgis are Welsh, so they have tons of experience protesting. Not big fans of monarchies or fascism.

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and I had to drive my parents 200 miles to a Social Security office, but at least I know that immigrants are getting sent to torture prisons in El Salvador.

Largest # of votes with Trump: Shaheen: 42 Fetterman: 39 (but *24* absences) Hassan: 39 Rosen: 39 Gallego: 38 (but *8* absences) Hickenlooper: 38 Slotkin: 36 Cortez Masto: 35 Warner: 33 Kelly: 31 Peters: 31 Bennet: 30 King: 30 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Incredibly disappointed at the 10 cowardly Dems who voted to pass the GOP funding bill. I’ll be changing my affiliation to Independent. They won’t get a cent from me.

Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities. They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.

At some point, people need to start doing the right thing not because there will be some reward for doing so, but simply because it’s the right thing to do

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

Read these back to back and you will absolutely understand where we are in this moment: defector.com/welcome-home open.substack.com/pub/howthing...

RIP Bob Uecker. What a legendary part of the Milwaukee Brewers history. He will be missed.

His Very Best (1924-2024) open.substack.com/pub/oldgoats... I’ve been thinking lately about Jimmy Carter, and, despite some missteps, he may be the greatest American president since Roosevelt in regards to the inherent good he had attempted to invest on behalf of the American people.

Also, courage is contagious. I continue to stand against American fascism in the hope that others will take heart, too.

Bummer about Ricky Henderson passing. So many icons drifting into the mist. You start to understand the importance of really settling into the moments, and subsume each sensation. You can’t take this shit for granted, anymore.

Sorry but those are some ugly ass Viking unis, man. Facts.

A rough week for Wisconsin sports, major college and pro. Packers lost, Bucks lost tonight, Badgers and Marquette both lost their first of the season. At least tomorrow is a guaranteed win for one team.
