Statehood for DC is the only just response to the way this administration has treated it.

BlueSky would absolutely benefit from a vaccine to prevent whataboutism. Some of y’all are fucking exhausting with it

I'm still pissed that tomorrow's game in Philadelphia is the last one of the tournament there

Me when I woke up this morning and remembered it was a holiday and the World Cup is happening.

Trump's gift to Putin for the Fourth of July.

#USMNT 's Folarin Balogun speaking to media today for the first time since his fateful ejection vs 🇧🇦. Says he was "extremely surprised" to receive the red card, but remarkably balanced, thoughtful overall: "This is the nature of the sport, this is what makes the sport so interesting and engaging"

Going from like 5.5 playable players to a backcourt rotation of Maxey, Edgecombe, Simons, and Philon with a splash of Caleb Love is going seriously help the Sixers. That’s a ton of offensive juice at their disposal. www.libertyballers.com/76ers-free-a...

The Pharaohs strike first!

Poor Todd Blanche. 😵‍💫 He's in the unfortunate position of hiding the crimes of the Rapist in Chief. That sucks.

The justices that upheld birthright citizenship in 1898 were racist men in a racist era who still could not avoid the plain text of the Constitution. What changed between is that the GOP now sees multiracial democracy as a threat rather than an ideal or aspiration www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I…worked on this story for a decade…and…he just…he blurted it out on teevee.

Climate change is literally canceling US independence Day celebrations. The July 4 parade in Philadelphia, the birthplace of American independence, has been canceled due to extreme heat. Heat waves aren’t new - what’s new is that climate change is making them hotter and more dangerous.

Having trouble paying your grocery bill? Collect soda bottles. Worried about the credit card bill? Collect soda bottles.

It’s remarkable how efficiently and effectively Mamdani has used his bully pulpit as mayor of America’s biggest city. What he’s saying here would have been largely uncontroversial in the pre-Trump era.

Abbott Labs gave $500K to Trump's inauguration. Now the criminal investigation into whether their formula sickened and killed babies has been shut down.

The AC is out at ICE's detention facility in Newark, where it currently feels like 107 degrees. Detainees say not even the ventilation is working, and that the water is dirty. Health inspectors recently tried to inspect the facility. They were turned away. www.nj.com/politics/202...

“America, in their view, is an arena of supremacy where only a select few are allowed freedom. America, if you ask them, becomes less the more people it welcomes. America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

DEVELOPING: It does appear that DOJ and DOI might be working overtime to be able to take action against the slavery materials at the President's House in Philadelphia before July 4. Information follows ...

USMNT updates: FIFA confirms one-game suspension for Folarin Balogun. Team will be honored before the Mariners game tonight, with Pochettino expected to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. More to come …

They just closed the Trump state fair due to heat (99 degrees) and will reopen at 5 PM ET when it is 101 degrees.

underappreciated that the racist and lawless position adopted by 4 justices in the birthright citizenship case a few days ago was considered and rejected by justices in *1898* who were like oh woof that's too racist and lawless even for us ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/birth...

African, can confirm: every moment of your life has been spent during an atrocity somewhere, perpetuated or exacerbated by a larger number of countries and corporations than many care to admit.

Having lost a war with Iran, POTUS will now wage war on DC air quality.

According to cable news they have just shut down Trump's ridiculous State Fair because of the heat until later tonight. Temps aren't going to be any better then

"An intelligence official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to potential reprisal, told MS NOW that the individuals being removed by the Trump administration are officials 'who they believe are deep state.'"

Stupidest times. We live in the stupidest of times.

Mo Salah starts for Egypt today vs. Australia despite the hamstring injury.

The Deep State is a cover story created by Trumpers to prevent any accountability for his corruption and alleged criminal activity.

Yes, images are loading slowly right now! Bsky engineers are working on diagnosing and fixing the problem as we speak, but the good news is that images generally load after a few seconds—they just aren't as snappy as they should be

2/2 110DB with latest fighter pass over DC right now. 'No kings' indeed. I love airplanes (2000+ hrs as PIC), but I'd be ashamed to be in one of those cockpits right now.

I don't think any American--regardless of party, despite fondness for aviation (which I share)--would enjoy being under the nonstop low-altitude, high-speed, incredible-volume of the Caligula overflights of our nation's capital right now. It feels and sounds like being under aerial attack.

Zohran Mamdani rebukes Trumpism with pro-immigrant speech for US’s 250th birthday

Sprint qualifying result: 1. Hamilton - 1:28.376 2. Antonelli +0.011s 3. Verstappen +0.321 4. Leclerc +0.327 5. Russell +0.357 6. Norris +0.364 7. Piastri +0.396 8. Hadjar +0.459 9. Lawson +0.551 10. Lindblad +0.991 #F1 #BritishGP

I started trying to calculate the cost of this many flyovers (don’t forget rehearsals!) and it broke my brain

Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Greetings from the Great American State Fair! It’s flyover day and very hot — more like Grover day amirite? Attendance seems decent. Some people seem trapped on Ferris Wheel? Recent flyover was so low it terrified everyone.

@support.bsky.team Is there a reason that nobody can see the pictures people are posting in the app?

All celebrity weddings should have philanthropic offsets. Good job, Taylor. (Swift's a generous patron of the arts and other worthy causes all the time, actually.)

Forgive me for the sincere lib-posting, but I think it’s both. It’s the horrible Trump shit AND it’s modelos in the park with randos. I think we can love and cherish what rules about America and try to change the stuff that sucks, rather than wallow in sackcloth over it being irredeemably evil

Really unfortunate that the U.S. government doesn’t have a cabinet secretary or even an entire department dedicated to diplomacy. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/02/u...

This week's newsletter is just a lightning round of the important cases people probably missed the last two weeks because of the other *mission critical* cases. And with that, I'm off. Taking next week of to recharge and potentially never come back. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
