Another U.S. citizen was reportedly investigated by federal authorities for criticizing ICE after the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it? https://www.npr.org/2026/07/01/nx-s1-5874124/dhs-tracks-ice-critic

Albania, citizens are gathering outside Police Station No. 1 in Tirana, demanding the release of 6 protesters detained during demonstrations outside Parliament. As the "Flamingo Revolution" rolls into its fourth week, each arrest only seems to be drawing more people into the streets, not fewer.

The thing you need to understand is that there are 2 (TWO) different method for amending the constitution 1) The process laid out in the constititon itself (conventions, or 2/3's of both houses followed by 3/4 of states ratifying) OR 2) find five votes on the Supreme Court.

I’m not going to hail Barrett and Roberts for allowing us to count our votes. It’s a huge win for democracy, but it shouldn’t have even been a question. That we were one vote away from disenfranchising votes is all the more reason to expand the court in 2029.

need to start thinking now about a full package of judicial reforms: new justices, new circuits, new district courts, ethics reforms, docket reforms, and transparency reforms.

That cartoon I posted was altered, so I deleted it. This is the original. I’d still post it it. Still legit!

alito 100% thinks that the “blue shift” in vote counting represents a dynamic change in the outcome. to borrow from @kalimurray.bsky.social this is not a smart man

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

101 former judges have asked New York disciplinary authorities to investigate Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, alleging ethics violations tied to his conduct at DOJ. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Mamdani: "We continue to be proud of being a sanctuary city. We continue to be ready to stand up for our immigrant neighbors ... ICE is a rogue agency that should be abolished"

I'm old enough to remember @hillaryclinton.bsky.social's "3am phone call" ad during the 2008 presidential primary season

exactly the right response

"60 Minions" by Andrew Winters.

I’m so upset. It happened today. ICE came to my hometown and took several people as they were waiting for the courthouse to open. Not even our mayor has any information about where they are being detained.

crazy that under the precedent set by callais, a lily-white congressional delegation formed by "partisan" gerrymandering in a plurality black state passes constitutional muster, while any majority-minority district is constitutionally suspect

We're all mocking the sweaty "Talarico is transgender" stuff from the right but it's notable that the actual campaign seems laser-focused on "Paxton is one of the most corrupt politicians in world history" They're just not going to play this stupid game. Good.

Springsteen. Moments ago. Washington DC #nokings

Every American should be disgusted by this.

Of the 8 state voter file cases DOJ has lost, 4 were before judges appointed by Donald Trump.

I can't believe the people of this country are allowing him to get away with this nonsense.

Bruce Springsteen has no fucks to give. 👏

Nothing makes someone look guiltier than forcing the Justice Department to promise never to investigate your taxes or prosecute you for anything they might find

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

Yep, nothing like admitting you’re a criminal.

“Trumpflation. U.S. inflation jumps to 3.8% as energy costs surge from Iran war” — Political artwork by and opinion of Michael de Adder.

I think a US president stating intent to murder American citizens is an impeachable offense but what do I know

america's reactionaries would love nothing more to nullify the reconstruction amendments and render them a dead letter of the constitution. this was as true in 1873 as it is today.

Pro-European, center-right Péter Magyar has been sworn in as Hungary's prime minister. The EU flag was raised on the parliament building in Budapest for the first time since Viktor Orbán's authoritarian government removed it in 2014.

Truly, we should all be so lucky. He was a model to me in life, and now, in death. And he lives on -- I see him in my sons' eyes, in their intelligence, their curiosity, their tender, sweet natures. Goodbye, Dad. I will miss you.

At this point, solving climate change is cheaper than not solving it -- not only on some grand 50 year time horizon, but tomorrow, today, immediately. Soving climate change *is* affordability. Maybe Dems should tell voters about that.

The Washington Post is just so profoundly embarrassing now

We The People want this changed.

yes. change the statute on which this decision turned and redistrict according to the legitimacy conferred by the people of the state

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

Tech friends, this is not business as usual techpolicy.press/tech-policy-...

The reporter who asked this question is a veteran journalist, Rachel Scott. She is also a Black American. Trump called her question stupid and twice seemed to imply she was comfortable with dirt. Just naked misogyny and racism

30 percent of Americans are against [squints at notes] the Pope urging peace

This is the scene at the Tennessee Capitol as we get closer to a final vote.

Trump tore down nearly half the White House, without approval, then told you this ballroom would not cost any taxpayer money. Now, Republicans are requesting $1 Billion of your money for security features related to it. #ballroominflation https://bit.ly/4tdZaAg

“Sunlight has to travel 93 million miles to reach the Earth, but none of those miles go through the Strait of Hormuz,” says @billmckibben.bsky.social. “That makes it a very appealing alternative, especially now that it’s cheaper than burning coal and gas and oil.”

I defy anyone to explain this on neutral legal principles.

“You know we’re in a war,” President Trump said yesterday, as a White House letter to Congress asserted that the War Powers Act doesn’t apply because there’s no war. Utter contempt. Congress is cool with it. Because the GOP majority also has contempt for the law, Constitution, country, and people.

Not a great sign that President Trump’s judicial nominees seem incapable of stating that President Trump is ineligible to run for a third term.
