ICE is not about immigration. ICE is not about the southern border. ICE is about normalizing paramilitary force on our streets. It cannot be reformed. It cannot be retrained. ICE must be abolished.

let this be a lesson to deal with your feelings of gender anxiety and masculine inadequacy with a hobby or therapy or something and not a high stakes senate election

Germany breaks all-time high temperature record. “Germany saw its highest temperature ever recorded on June 26 at 41.3C [106F], according to preliminary weather data, as the country braces itself for the possibility of even higher temperatures over the weekend." www.straitstimes.com/world/europe...

Abdul in town tonight. This guy is an incredible speaker.

They do not want *this*, no matter how ill-defined, or possibly undefinable, *this* is. And they certainly do not want people who are super into crypto or AI or funding ICE but training them better, basically, they do not want the Dem waiter to KEEP BRINGING THEM THE SOUP, SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT 7/x

It must be nice to be wealthy, & somewhat insulated from the effects of Trump’s destruction of America. Instead of wringing your hands over this, take some time to reflect on WHY progressive candidates have swept the board in NY. Consider Starmer’s downfall here in the UK. We are tired of centrists.

The Department of Justice will take on enforcement of civil rights in education, while the Department of Health and Human Services will oversee special education, administration officials announced.

In another timeline Donald Trump could have gone down as the Bill Cosby of child molestation

This one hits hard.

Coverage from Delaney Hall in New Jersey

Oliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down! "You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock." www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

It's funny what happens when someone like good Alan here posts a thought-provoking piece like this one. It drives out the profiles that warn all of preemptive blocking for anyone who disagrees with them, and usually, they're the ones who think anyone to the left of John Kerry is Angela Davis.

Google says:

Surely they've suffered enough?

Alabama Legislature is meeting on redistricting; we are under a tornado watch, and it’s flooding in the building. These metaphors are too on the nose.

My rep, who took over $400,000 in AIPAC funds and supports building data centers, just endorsed her AIPAC sister, Haley Stevens, who's accepted over 5.4 MILLION DOLLARS. Stevens was shouted down and booed off the stage at the Dem convention in Ann Arbor three weeks. READ THE ROOM, IDIOTS

Enshittification continues! New IKEA chair cushions - GARBAGE compared to previous purchases. New wastebasket arrives damaged in packaging process. New chair joint is peeling. New ceiling fan is dropped in transit - glass globe shattered. New pack of t-shirts - garbage compared to old H&M.

The face of someone who’s devoted their life to service, science and space exploration needing to listen to some draft-dodging, out-of-shape bozo brag that he easily could’ve been an astronaut.

I think this is 100% correct.

The sad reality is most people just don’t care whether that half-assed “attempted shooting” was staged or real. Trump lies constantly about everything. He attacks anything he dislikes as “fake news.” His administration can’t be trusted on anything. Trump brought this credibility collapse on himself.

God, the "orphan crushing machine" concept remains sadly, horribly evergreen. knowyourmeme.com/memes/orphan...

Journalists Saturday: "why don't you all have empathy for journalists that were just traumatized?" Journalists Sunday: "So do you agree Democrats need to stop criticizing the President?"

Huh.

Huh.

Megayacht Nord, which I have done a cutaway of (www.hisutton.com/Russian-Olig...), is sailing out of the Strait of Hormuz.

When the secret service yelled shots, Patel & Hegseth ran to the bar.

I saw this yesterday. I love when words have multiple meanings.

Disabled veterans arrested by Capitol police protesting the war on Iran. "Not another nickel, not another dime, no more for Trump's war crimes/the cost of war is too damn high."

That’s quite an image. IDF soldier smashing the head of a statue of Christ. I wonder what the orange hate goblin’s worshippers think? Netanyahu has ‘condemned’ it, of course, but he doesn’t give a toss. That soldier will probably get a bonus for going the extra mile 🤬 news.sky.com/story/netany...

It’s time for Hegseth to go.

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”

My latest. I’ve been watching the media coverage of the murders of Dr. Cerina Fairfax and Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer. One way media can fight back against male violence: If you kill your wife, you don’t get to be called a “husband” any more. You’re her killer. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

NPR announces it has secured philanthropic gifts totaling more than $110 million -- including the largest by a living donor in NPR's history -- as a strategic investment in its future. This comes after Congress chose to eliminate federal funding for all public media. https://loom.ly/B71nWB8

Re: Platner and his use of the r-word, the word has been inching back in to popular culture Joe Rogan commented on it “being back” last year. But on the popular show “Euphoria”, main characters have used the word It’s also not uncommon to hear GenZ use it (article from ‘25)
