This an official Vatican photograph of Leo at Lampedusa, Italy - one of the world’s heaviest migrant sites - where he went this morning to pray for migrants who died at sea. This is after turning down the offer to come to the United States.

It's been fun watching I Love New York guys Adams and Cuomo scamper the fuck away to be full-time pieces of shit, proving everything everyone ever said about them 100% completely correct and making everyone who ever supported them look like the unprincipled jackasses they are

Just learned that diners were designed and named after the dining car on trains and this never occurred to me despite some of them literally being train cars and being named “this is a pretend train you are eating in”

Also in this piece: A response to JD Vance's recent indictment of creedal nationalism, which got a lot of attention but gets some basic things really wrong: newrepublic.com/article/2121...

I’m gonna be real with you all, I think that anyone who thinks America’s a shithole that isn’t worth saving isn’t worth listening to. The idea of a purifying revolution-to-come is a fantasy, a terminating piece of cope that keeps you from believing it’s worth putting in the work now.

I actually don’t care what the founding fathers would say about the present and I don’t think you should either

lol Threads banned the new Infowars. Silenced for TRUTH. Everybody go yell at them.

Congrats to this raggedy bitch on his post gubernatorial career with Fox www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures. Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025." In ONE year. The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.

In the think tank and nonprofit world, there's a lot of talk about "mainstreaming' white nationalist rhetoric without fully elaborating on how it happened. A lot of it, as this piece does a good job of showing, comes down to how the younger generation—particular men—have moved the Overton window.

Donald Trump is losing young right-wingers — many of whom see him as insufficiently radical. We've seen this before, of course. The so-called "alt-right" turned on Trump in his first term for somewhat similar reasons. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

See also more widely:"we're a massive software company. We've been a software company for 40 years. That's why we're firing all our developers. We're going to be so stinking rich"

i did a triple take at this line. the university of michigan apparently jeopardized a grad student's status and got him detained by ICE for almost a month on this basis, which i can only convey to non-academic folks as "absolute horse shit"

Had to dig up a hard copy for this one.

the thing about conservatives is that they see "inspecting your child's genitals to prevent trans people from participating in society" as win-win

The term "biological sex" was adopted widely only in the last decade as a reaction to mainstream acceptance of trans people. It was rarely if ever used before that. By any metric, from legislative usage to search query usage, it's plainly evident this is a novel term only made popular by the right.

the egg price thing under biden was all fake lol

You would think “your mom using AI to make it look like you were given a birthday party” is the most pathetic thing you’d ever see but then you remember he runs this account himself

Boggles the mind that the entire world saw ICE execute defenseless people in the street and somehow there are still sitting Democrats who have a wide open flank on abolishing the agency

Count on a Texas paper to recognize what this means. tldr the New International Readers Version is a dumbed down adaptation of the NIV. It is intentionally as un-literary as possible for the sake of "clarity", specifically written for a religious purpose rather than the needs of an English class

Yes, it's what you think. Nobody bought the crypto on the market, it was sold directly to entities like UAE Sovereign Wealth ($500m), Alt5 Sigma ($1.5B, after which the company essentially collapsed and it's about to be delisted), and "Whale 0x0249," an unknown person who funneled $80 million.

Not only is it a skill issue but "You need to work within the system and within the Party" is what the people freaking out about this have explicitly been telling critics to do for decades. I guess they didn't mean it, didn't think anyone would try, or were confident it couldn't work.

That Thomas was able to refer to scholarship made up out of whole cloth by Wurman, Barnett, and a few others points to a stark failure in the construction of the legal academy; there’s no real peer review of which to speak, and the tenure system limits consequences for bad faith arguments.

It‘s just insane to me that a sitting president has made MORE THAN A BILLION DOLLARS peddling fucking fairy dust with no intrinsic value beyond his stature and power AS president, and it’s not treated as the biggest corruption scandal in American history.

This is why Democrats across the spectrum have been foolish to declare victory - this needs to be understood as an ongoing assault, barely survived this time, and plans need to be made to push it back for good.

i think Jessica is right, which is why it is your duty to bully jd vance, and all these other freaks just like him, as the swirlie-receiving megadorks that they are

remember when a bunch of software companies made a big deal about "returning to the office," citing worsening quality of work? and then none of their products got any better? and then some of them started to vibe code everything? and their products got even worse??

2 more thoughts on birthright: 1. The movement to overturn Roe and Humphrey's Executor was built over decades. It took an enormous amount of effort to manufacture that sense of scholarly viability (see: Teles, Hollis-Brusky). The right got 5-4 on birthright with a sloppy last-minute scramble

The real headline from the birthright‑citizenship case isn’t the outcome. It’s that four Supreme Court justices signaled they believe a president can effectively rewrite the Constitution through executive order.

We're now at day 28 of setting a new record daily global sea-surface temperature.

celebrating the supreme court and promoting the fiction that they are standing up against Trump is an insane rhetorical stance for someone in Schumer's position. The Supreme Court Gang of Six is the leading vanguard of the plot to enslave our country, you don't have to hand it to them.

two things. first, always an irony that alito recapitulates the exact same arguments made against his immigrant forbearers. second, if this is all the 14th amendment did it would not have repudiated dred scott

The Birthright citizenship ruling should be a wake up call to any Dem who is still on the fence about court reform. We are essentially one seat change away from the Court undoing Reconstruction by fiat.

"A view that a judge said was borderline sanctionable got four votes" is not the own Wurman thinks it is, nor is it owning the person he believes.

Chris Johnson is my age, this is crazy

“First, I want people to know that I’m still me,” said Johnson, who answered questions using a speech-generating device triggered by his eyes. “ALS has changed what my body can do, but it hasn’t changed who I am.”

The NBA took the all-star game away from Charlotte over it! It was wild.

one thing i find funny is that the founding generation would likely have been very enthusiastic about, say, muslim immigrants and intensely skeptical of all the catholics

The ban is heinous for what it does to transgender athletes. But if you think cisgender girls and young women won’t be caught up in the fallout, too, you are woefully ignorant

*nodding solemnly with full comprehension* yes, I see. there’s a special kind of kid who can’t play sports or go to the bathroom

Basically the Supreme Court is 5-4 on whether America is white man's country

This country was one person's vote away this morning from putting any birthright citizen in danger of being deported tomorrow. We are so much closer to the abyss than we think. Man oh man.

they should make a social media for all the people i like and none of the people i dont like

We’re all the left branch of this comic

As global leaders look to tech advances to solve climate change, one leading idea involves capturing carbon pollution from the air and burying it underground forever. But while this concept may sound practical, there is no conceivable way it can work. Here's why 👇 w/ @drilledmedia.bsky.social
