Me opening BlueSky:

LEAVE HER ALONE

When the Pentagon announced a $620M loan last year to a startup linked to Donald Trump Jr., defense officials and the company tried to tamp down suspicions of cronyism. We found that the request came from White House adviser Peter Navarro. (Published May)

Head of the National Security Commission of the Iranian Parliament:

"but we owe incomparably more to Haiti than to them all. I regard her as the original pioneer emancipator of the 19th century” This thread serves as a reminder Haiti mattered then, and it matters now. We in the U.S. must do all we can to fight back against racism/oppression against Haitians. /21

They’re going to send a white sock to the Vatican every day for the rest of the year

The District of Columbia has settled a lawsuit by a protester who said he was detained and handcuffed for following National Guard troops around the city while playing Darth Vader’s theme song from “Star Wars.”

obviously not the first person to make this observation but the "move along, citizen" shit for regular DC residents is especially galling in context of the pardons for the rioters who broke into the fucking capitol

The Trump admin is using “catastrophic wind damage” as an excuse to log millions of acres of our national forests. This is exactly the kind of destruction we need to stop. Tell Congress to block Trump’s illegal destruction of the Forest Service!

If the Dems had any type on game plan, this would be the start of an ad, followed by all the things every day Americans have lost, followed by everything corporations and billionaires have gained and a clear message that Americans aren’t the ones being protected.

New documents revealed about the Spokane 9 case. 13 phones were hacked with cellebrite under the guise of "conspiracy charges." 12 of the 13 people were never indicted. But the govt got all their data anyway.

Pierzynski gave Leo the final out ball from Game 1 of the 2005 Series, the game he attended.

friend at a big tech co just told me that her company's chatbot and their client's chatbot have been caught in a mutual support loop for several days that has generated nearly 20k emails

okay send me best songs for a party mix my kid is graduating

Introducing invasive species to own the techbros

In his decision for SCOTUS published this morning, Justice Alito dismissed the idea that the Trump administration would halt all asylum seekers as a mere "hypothetical" not even worth considering.

BREAKING NYT: A New York City panel just voted to freeze rents for nearly one million rent-stabilized apartments — fulfilling one of Mayor Zohran Mamdani's key campaign promises and handing the mayor a major policy win six months into his tenure.

changed or he’s finally able to say what he’s actually felt all along

I wrote about the Prairieland defendants and the urgency of opposing the extreme sentences handed down on Tuesday. And they likely will not be the last.

So in america? A mfer got a 100 year sentence while every last person still alive on the epstien list is still 100% free. reason.com/2026/06/25/t...

the mayor told his own bestie to NOT PRIMARY YOUR ASS, and this is the thanks he gets?

my part of queens has always had an incredible haitian community. we have a long standing relationship w a doctor/clinic/orphanage there, it’s been decades of just abject horror for everyday people, and then the earthquake, my god. we spent weeks, months collecting up the bare necessities for folks

Solar power also continues to skyrocket in Texas, with generation up 24% compared to last year Over the last twelve months, solar has made up 11.6% of Texas' electricity, a record high!

#SpéirGorm very Irish problems

Media coverage about the revocation of TPS needs to focus on the fact that people *will* die

TikTok's latest illegal 'life hack' seems to be 'dispute credit card transactions for free stuff' and legality aside I am here to beg you: Do not do this to small businesses. It really fucks them over in ways you may not be aware of beyond stealing from them (which is, to be clear, what this is).🧵

Hey it's 4 July next week, please make plans to secure your pets and ensure they have the good drugs as needed and if you don't have a pet consider fostering one for the weekend so they are not housed next to Austin's fireworks launch site, which APA dogs currently are.

Really ugly stuff from Amy Coney Barrett here, scolding Hawaii for defending its gun control laws by citing (among many other laws) Louisiana's 1865 Black Codes, as if "find old analogous laws" is not...exactly what the Court told states to do in Bruen. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Yikes, catastrophically low turnout for Trump's "rally" last night kicking off the 250 festivities...

"While the Violence Against Women Act prohibits states from directly charging for a rape kit, they are allowed to charge for anything not directly related to the exam—like STI testing or pregnancy testing ... 86% of women with private insurance will pay out of pocket for their sexual assault care."

Kagan thinks too much of her colleagues. Very good chance that the reason the majority doesn't think this language is "racially inflected" is because they agree with it. bsky.app/profile/uhac...

Truly a wretched contortion of logic
