The Trump shit video is basically this, but I will reiterate that if a Dem is critical of conservative voters it’s a generational scandal and when Republican pols literally post themselves shitting on their opposition virtually the entire elite politics and media class treats it as fine and normal

Wow they always go in threes: Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Ozzy Osbourne, and Chuck Mangione and absolutely no one else

Full court press to insist that CBS firing Colbert mere days after he criticized Paramount for bribing the president is just coincidence, after they paid a bribe to end a bad faith lawsuit against 60 Minutes—also coincidence—and the corrupt president crowed about it because, you got it, coincidence.

The birthday letter I wrote to Jeffrey Dahmer where I said “Jeff — love what you’re up to. In fact, I love all that stuff too. We are kindred spirits with the same hobbies, if you know what I mean!” is being taken out of context

did any body follow up on trump just completely making up a ted kaczynski story yet how about the who nominated that powell dude statement any updates yet any follow up

this came out yesterday. Times says: "We found that at key stages in the war, Netanyahu’s decisions extended the fighting in Gaza longer than even Israel’s senior military leadership deemed necessary."

theyre trying so hard lmao. italian americans do not care about this. call me when he says gandolfini was overrated or something

Everyone loves this mf he's a rockstar to the people. no wonder the Democratic Party and the NYT hate him. He's having fun and he's likeable, two things they absolutely can't relate to in any way

Stephen Miller in April: “He was not mistakenly sent to El Salvador…A DOJ lawyer who has since been relieved of duty—a saboteur, a Democrat—put into a filing, incorrectly, that this was a mistaken removal. It was not.” DOJ, yesterday: Abrego’s removal to El Salvador was a “one-off mistake.”

From The New York Times:

It's honestly disgusting seeing people blame children for dying in a natural disaster. They didn't deserve any of this. Fix your hearts.

April 11: “The phones are ringing off the hook.” July 6: “Many of these countries never even contacted us.” @atrupar.com

Beshear on Trump's bill: "It's the single worst piece of legislation I've seen in my lifetime & it is an attack on rural America. In my state alone, 200k are gonna lose their coverage... 20k healthcare workers are gonna lose their jobs & we've got up to 35 rural hospitals that may close."

Trump's immigration policies are cruel, unconstitutional, and polling underwater, so of course NYTimes leaps to Trump's rescue with a new story saying Democrats need to go along with him. I dunno maybe resist fascism and seize on your opponent's weakness? Just sayin. chart via @gelliottmorris.com

It really helps you survive as a fan if you assume any Kings deal being reported as “close” will fall apart.

Trump and Elon made massive cuts to all US weather tracking and warning systems in the spring of 2025.

Spiking the football over the deaths of children because of your guess about how their parents voted in an election is some profoundly grim shit. Examine your soul.

Black and brown people live in southern states. This shit is depressing man. Fucking Blue MAGA shit.

70-year-old Facebook refugees when they see a fresh opportunity to remind an unsuspecting person having fun that that the world is still bad

When I was there a few years ago, there was this not-quite-unspoken rule that the op-ed desk had freedom to be vocally “political” in ways that the rest of the newsroom was not. There was also an unspoken rule that certain viewpoints (not conservative) were more heavily scrutinized and disciplined.

“We’re only limiting the first amendment for bad people.” “We’re only deporting bad people.” “We’re only denying services to bad people.”

Just heard an NPR report that included the following: “Democrats claim the bill will cut Medicaid.” I’m going to grind my molars for a while.

being threatened personally by a fascist president and his secret police and bringing the thread back around to Medicaid cuts in his statement

The Trump administration is dropping charges against ms-13 gang leaders after the gang leaders agreed to use their power as gang leaders to support Nayib Bukele politically in El Salvador. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/30/u...

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent. Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

This is remarkable. New Quinnipiac poll finds support for path to legalization for most undocumented immigrants has risen to 64%. Only 31% want most of them deported. That's a 14 point net swing for legalization since Trump took office. On immigration generally, he's at 41-57!

Amazing to see a Kings GM make a draft night trade and get good value. Absolute worst case, if the pick conveys perfectly for OKC, the Kings traded #17 in 2027 for #24 in 2025. I don’t know anything about Nique (don’t love that he’s already 23), but if he can be Josh Hart lite, that’s a huge win.

AGAIN none of this has anything to do with antisemitism. AGAIN the word is warped into a meaningless tagline. AGAIN Jews being used as inhuman tools to paint political agendas over. At this point it’s cliché.

In light of last night’s NYC mayoral primary, I’m thinking once more about this essay, and what it actually takes to form, broad coalitions and big tents, and why abandoning people based on focus testing isn’t it.

The perfect Bluesky post doesn't exist--

need more photos of cuomo party now. need footage NOW

what’s funny is that if pro-cuomo centrist democrats were less myopic they might see that mamdani was running the kind of campaign that could help rebuild the party brand — accessible with an outsider persona and a focus on “kitchen table” issues.

i am simply asking the press to cover the government sending masked thugs to rip people from their crying children and shipping them to a foreign concentration camp with the same ferocity they cover a trans kid playing jv tennis in sheboygan

they can’t entirely stop progress

Since the NBA season ended last night, here's my self indulgent take on where Sports Bluesky is atm. The TLDR is that crappy Resistance accounts are working like antibodies to flush casual sports ppl off this platform and the devs should address this if they actually want sports to take off here.

So grateful for candidates like Lander and Mandani who recognize the creeping danger of American antisemitism and Islamophobia that a new regime change war will lead to.

I refuse to treat the Thunder as a legitimate champion until they prove it in the NBA Cup.

My two narratives I'm sticking to no matter what happens: OKC wins: "wow this championship has an asterisk, not a real ring in my book" Pacers win: "wow Haliburton is so overrated and isn't even needed by his team to win"

The halftime show has been everybody on zoom and a delay, except they’re sitting right next to each other

ESPN should be embarrassed by that halftime crew

The Swan, No. 24, Group IX, by Hilma af Klint, 1914, 📸 by me

as a Kings fan, the only appropriate emotional state for watching the playoffs is *conflicted*

It’s wild to see so many folks immediately saying this is an overpay because of Jalen Green. Y’all. They’ve been trying to trade that man.

If people really find this to be such an easy conclusion, then Congressional authority should be easy to get. So why don’t they insist on a vote? They know this isn’t “progressive” resistance. They want to marginalize it as such because on top of this war being ILLEGAL, it’s also deeply unpopular.

Impeach Trump for illegally bombing Iran

If you ask why Dems are less popular than Republicans despite, you know, everything, this is it

If anyone on here is based in Philly or knows the area well, we (married couple plus a toddler) would love any recs, of any kind, you have! We’ve lived all over - most recently in NC. Now in PA for the toddler to be closer to his extended family.

OH MY
