The NYT obituary of Lindsey Graham makes no mention of his effort to overturn the 2020 election by calling Georgia’s secretary of state to intimidate him into manufacturing votes for Trump. The Times, like all news media, is GOP propaganda erasing Republicans’ history as election deniers

"Got to. This America, man."

Many thanks to Harry Kane for stepping up, just when there was a danger that this England team might be approaching being likeable.

I guess the next time there's a mass shooting by someone motivated by the Great Replacement Theory, the New York Times can just link to this op-ed they published as an example of irresponsible platforming of gutter racists

Not exactly Chicago's White City, was it?

Question for my UK friends: if Count Binface wins the Clacton by-election, will he be able to wear his bin while attending Parliament? Or does the bin fall under some noble and ancient headwear ban in Westminster?

So ICE has thugs wearing “media” vests and masks filming protesters, something that is totally normal in a democracy www.ctinsider.com/news/article...

NEW: The brand-new logo of the Donald J Trump International Airport appears to be AI slop, featuring an eagle with garbled talons, an asymmetrical number of feathers on each wing, and more glaring irregularities futurism.com/artificial-i...

With deepest apologies to everyone, this was, sadly, the first title that came to mind. (Not only does the film suck, but the redundant word "male" is there entirely for scansion.)

One minor thing that annoys me personally about this shit is that some people romanticize a blue collar white boy aesthetic but can’t tell an actual working class backwoodser from a rich aspiring dirtbag who went to Hotchkiss

What white people think of as the most common working class: White guy who is 43 with an oversized wrench in overalls saying 'git er done' What is actually more representative: Single mother WOC doing eldercare and gig work in the gaps who ironically lacks healthcare herself

Come forward, patron saint of Bluesky!!

This one bas both an A-list actor and an A-list actress...and also features an A-list director: Michael Powell

Also: Freddie DeBoer saying "let's be adults here, please" is morbidly hilarious.

CEO Reveals How He Used AI To Build One-Person Company That's $1.3 Billion In Debt

My favourite thing about Haaland is that he spent 1.3 million ​Norwegian kroner of his football money on a rare 1594 edition of Viking chronicles - a record book sale for Norway - and then donated it to his regional library. www.reuters.com/lifestyle/ha...

People like Carville could swallow a little performative anti-Israel rhetoric in exchange for that. Which is why he was all in on excusing Platner while absolutely trashing the Dems who won the New York primaries. It's gender. And it's also racism.

I think Platner’s failure to formally withdraw from the race shows exactly what happens when someone says no to him.

Mmmmmmhmmmmm 👀👀👀👀 www.nytimes.com/2026/07/09/o...

This does need to become Minneapolis-level focus for progressives. Allowing ICE to murder people in unmarked vans then deport the witnesses is a line we have to fight with every protest tool possible.

Just an absolute sack of shit and so obviously so that I have no sympathy for anyone who defended him post-tattoo discovery, as that was the first of MANY disqualifying red flags. You’re complicit as fuck in this.

Unfortunately, a stunned Paris is how they all got into this whole mess to begin with

I must reiterate that “Nazis bad” is a good red line to have, not merely morally but also strategically

cracking up at the concept of the delco cinematic universe

As others have noted, the Platner Discourse™ really does show that Twitter is the place that's wildly out of step with reality, not this "leftist bubble"

Why is Rightwing Republican Tells Democrats What Their Party Should Do an entire fucking opinion genre? It's absurd on its face.

“we’ve said from the very beginning that this campaign was never about graham”, maybe it should have been, because then you might have done some extremely basic due diligence on him *at any point in the last several months*

This is the most predictable thing imaginable. Grim has been worse than useless for the better part of a decade. He won't go away. But serious folks should simply ignore him.

I think the Platner thing hit me so hard bc it was one of the most protracted, widespread acts of misogynist gaslighting from my own side that I've seen. We were presented with an obvious violent scumbag who was constantly lying (badly, might I add) and told we were crazy for not loving him

"Could I have made a mistake in fetishizing reactionary masculinity as a valuable and desirable trait? Was my full-throated glazing of The Man With The Nazi Tattoo an obvious and easily avoided mistake?"

Naomi Klein showing how you say "I was wrong," a skill far too rarely on display on social media.

Harper's Letter Writers? Harper's Letter Writers?

Where in the Constitution does it say that a Senator has to be alive to serve out his term? /s

Unconditional election and irresistible grace are among the aspects of orthodox Calvinism that create very unattractive social outcomes.

Schrödinger's Fascist

Trying to get my head around not only believing in a God that would damn an unbaptized infant to Hell for eternity, but would welcome into Heaven one that had a little water poured on its forehead while a few magic words were said, but also feeling that such a God deserved my devotion.

Great moments in U.S. History.

This story and this 🧵 are fascinating...and symptomatic. And I think they tell us a lot more about a story (some) people tell about the "populist left" than about the "populist left" itself.

How bizarre! The French national public radio station dedicated to music (France Musique) just played the Horst-Wessel-Lied...and they're now explaining it in great detail.

Happy Abolish a Form of Government When It Becomes Destructive of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness Day, for those who celebrate!

As an American who pays perhaps too much attention to UK politics (but is still very much an amateur observer from afar), this commitment to internal factional politics on behalf of leading politicians from both Labour's right and Labour's left dwarfs anything we have in the Democratic Party.

The ref should simply let them play until Cape Verde wins

Whether it's Ken Paxton spending 4th of July in Iceland with his mistress or James Talarico trying a vegetarian taco, both candidates have betrayed Texans.

O. M. G. Cabo Verde!

Who would have known Argentina would have so much trouble battling a remote Atlantic archipelago?

I feel irrationally proud of having actually been to Cabo Verde. Sure it was only a refueling stop on a flight from Cape Town to Atlanta and nobody got out of the plane. But that still counts, no?
