That they are more afraid of -or, at least, are more willing to push back against - the slightly left than the far-right tells you all you need to know about the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board's opinion.

Diana Abu Daraz and her 1-year-old daughter, Siwar, were killed in an Israeli strike on the Mawasi "safe zone" in Khan Younis. Survivors say the Israeli army didn't wait after giving them notice of the strike, dropping bombs on the tent city. mondoweiss.net/2026/06/a-mo...

Okay this was a bummer but the traditional 253rd anniversary gift is tribunals!

When a celebrity says "I stay out of politics" all they mean is "I don't want my career to suffer due to my associations."

This is going to be Act I, Scene 1 of a LOT of MFA students’ terrible first plays.

Expell this fucker

September my cousin got Covid for the very first time, Now he's doing horse-paste, It's June.

Ask your evangelical acquaintances why God didn't want America to celebrate today.

”The starter home your American kids can’t afford was turned into an Airbnb.”

Getting word from @goad.bsky.social that the gates will reopen at 9:45. But no one here knows that. Maybe that's what the LRAD was shouting It's given up, btw. There's no reasoning with these soaked maniacs

If the left even thought about blocking traffic to this extent the entire town would smell like tear gas and the NYT would already have written two op-eds about this Not Being The Right Way Instead, ambulances are creeping through at like 2mph, sirens blaring, as everyone gets soaked

You've seen pictures of the empty fairground, which was real. But this is July 4th, and the fairgrounds were packed Raindrops are starting. The security people are trying to clear the roads. The National Guardsmen are badly outnumbered by disgruntled revelers We are set up for the funniest thing

Hi hello I was going to do a full thread on the Great American State Fair later but it seems I'm starting early: why in the fuck are PragerU, Patriot Academy, and other far right groups the ENTIRETY of the Department of Education booth

Oh Canada (disappointingly)

It's literally hotter than Haiti in Canada.

I have such an expertly curated algorithm that I'm seeing posts from Mexican street food restaurants in the US and this is how they're advertising the game tomorrow night. "Good vibes"

100 years ago.

Once again, eat a bag of dicks Originalism.

Her argument is basically that Nazis didn't think they were evil, which is very true but also a very banal, boring, and dull thing to state. We Know This. It also doesn't mean they weren't. And neither were the cases she's mentioning.

Kristi Noem spent $1 billion of taxpayer dollars buying warehouses to jail immigrants without any required reviews or input from local officials. After months of outrage and legal fights, ICE now plans to sell or give away most of them. The Surprise megawarehouse should be next.

Holy CRAP!

ICE celebrating “Freedom 250” by taking shackled immigrants from our nation’s capital to concentration camps in the South.

Speaking of things I love anout America...

“I love America more than any other country in the world and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.” - James Baldwin

See, the plan is, you put 1,000 foreign women who all got pregnant at the same time on a hospital ship, and you do that 1,000 times, and then you wait 18 years, and then you move all the babies to Wyoming, and you win a House seat.
