Whatever actually happened in Maine, this much is clear Immigrants aggressively chased by goons in unmarked vehicles know instinctively that if they stop a) their family will be broken forever and b) they're headed to a gulag where folks die from neglect So they panic And ICE murders them

Some good news.

It boggles my mind, that media presents Trump as a real serious official, political scientists discuss his decisions, pundits talk about his policies. Meanwhile he loudly declared to the world he made an amazing discovery that "dumb" has a "b" in it.

Reminds me of his flip on crypto: First he said "It's a scam," then he realized he was right, and if it was a scam he wanted to get in on it and be the biggest scammer of all. Now it's: How DARE Iran charge tolls in Hormuz! Wait a minute...what if *I* charged tolls in Hormuz? That'd be awesome!

The Portland Press Herald is reporting that Maine Immigrants' Rights Coalition & Presente! Maine say the person who died in the shooting is a 26-year-old Colombian man authorized to work in the U.S. & had been issued a Social Security number. www.pressherald.com/2026/07/13/s...

Authorities say ICE shot and killed a person this morning in Maine. www.wmtw.com/article/signific...

Fox News brought on Ro Khanna this morning to do a hit interview about his trip to the West Bank. Imagine hosts treating a Republican like this.

Officials are investigating a deadly shooting in Biddeford that allegedly involved ICE, according to a post made by Maine House Speaker Ryan Fecteau this morning.

And...you can't move on from a place you haven't been to yet. Feel what's there to feel. Fully feel it without trying to repress or manage it.

The World Cup’s economic impact on New York is becoming clear: Hotels saw an uptick in business but far below expectations, while sports bars have cashed in on the soccer fever that infected so many New Yorkers.

I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave. The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.

New in PN: Lindsey Graham and the rot of modern conservatism "Graham died a coward. From Gingrich to Trump, he embodied the movement-to-racket transformation of the GOP. Has America ever seen a capitulation so self-abnegating as his conversion from snarling Trump critic into swooning cheerleader?"

Boundaries can be internal #limits #Boundaries #selfcare #protectyourpeace

Nothing to see here: Just 292,150+ people warning about Trump Admin’s new federal rule to strip grant funding power away from experts, scientists and unbiased arbiters Instead granting power over federal grants to Trump appointees Enormous issue Comment deadline is today

This is the funniest possible tribute he could have posted.

I met a couple that was wealthy enough to buy apartments that were right next door to one another. They were connected by an internal door like in hotels. I think that’s cool as hell.

He’s causing havoc!!!!

MS NOW: Two Atlanta-based FBI intelligence analysts were fired last week after refusing to participate in the Trump admin's investigation of Georgia's 2020 election. The analysts told colleagues they did not believe the investigation was justified under FBI and DOJ policies.

lol once again the Knicks win may have reset our current timeline

When I visited my therapist, I told him my biggest fear. Getting a lift to work in a vehicle that breaks down in an underground road, with everyone trapped inside. Apparently, I have carpool tunnel syndrome. 🐢💨

Here's a thought: Putting solar panels over asphalt parking lots will generate a shit ton of clean, domestic energy that doesn't have to go through the strait.

Nothing better than hitting peak too hot to turn the stove on weather and now salads might kill you.

If the wealthy are "job creators", why are they spending trillions of dollars trying to eliminate as many paying jobs as possible through Al and automation?

Promised his father he wouldn't drink alcohol, smoke, or get tattoos. And is stridently opposed to sports betting...and the French far-right. Mbappé is the hero we need.

Haaland is Pure Class,not just as a Player but as a Person.Former teammates at B.Dortmund Erling Haaland has said the only thing that surprises him about the "unbelievable" Jude Bellingham is the amount of criticism he receives -- insisting the England midfielder is "one of the best in the world."

When my cat goes to the vet, the vet immediately remembers her name, age, health problems and every medication she's ever been on, but when I go to the doctor, the doctor always looks at me like I'm the first person they've seen since recovering from amnesia and goes "Uhhh...do you exercise?"

Millions of people do good in their communities every single hour and if we uplifted each example, we would drown out those who spend their time doing evil. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/11/n... - RIP to both of these men.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social turned decades of studying democracy into a nightly act of devotion, writing alone past midnight, no sponsors, no noise, just truth and care. She’s given millions a place to breathe, to understand, to feel less alone. Grateful for her light in the dark. TYSM HCR! #Pinks

Thinking about my Afro-Indigenous short film - Kinship, a dance of blood and earth #shortfilm #experimentalfilm #blacksky

Lindsey Graham's office says prelim findings from the D.C. medical examiner found Graham suffered from an aortic dissection, in which a tear occurs in the inner layer of the main artery. This was caused by arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease — when arteries became clogged and disrupt blood flow.

I was sunning by the pool when the boxes arrived. And here in my hand is my life’s work: “The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War On Democracy.” Coming 8/18. Pre-orders make a huge difference! Make a fascist sweat—pre-order today! www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

Also I think we can all agree that "The Nerd Reich" is a top-20 title in the history of books

"Graham said he complained he was feeling unwell. When urged to seek care, Graham said he would after his scheduled appearance on NBC Graham joked: 'I can't die now. I still need to do the Russia sanctions, get Iran sorted out & do Israeli-Saudi normalization' He passed away several hours later."

The big literary discourse on twitter right now is whether The Hobbit—a children’s book that won children’s lit awards and was literally written for the author’s children—is appropriate reading for children or in fact such a difficult book most adults can’t “get their head around” it.

Just saying

Spelled his name wrong.

Starting October 1, businesses will be required to make cancellations as easy as sign-ups. The rule is projected to save New Yorkers up to $162.5 million each year. If you’re stuck in a subscription trap, report it at nyc.gov/Consumers.

If it’s easy to sign up with one click, it should be just as easy to cancel with one click. That’s why New York City is becoming the first city in the nation to implement a Click-to-Cancel Rule.

Please stop posting video of that poor man being tossed by a bison. He wasn't doing anything that warranted it. He's old and badly injured.

Todd Blanche fired the DOJ pardon attorney for refusing to restore gun rights to convicted domestic abuser Mel Gibson…as a favor for a friend of Trump Then he sent US Marshals to her home to intimidate her into silence This man cannot be AG Full story @contrariannews.org 👇 -TN

“Culture of impunity” is right. The demand is to never hold public figures accountable for wrongdoing, not even verbally when they’re already beyond the reach of human accountability and won’t hear the criticisms and jokes. The legacy must be sanitized, or current elites might feel less impunity.

Best part of my first road trip in an all electric car is the enthusiastic EV small talk with other EV Dads at the charging stations

“scheduled”

Shorter Lyman Stone

Indeed. We are not forcing upon Graham the memory of him being a villain, a coward, and a malignant presence in the country; that was the legacy he chose again and again. He earned our contempt, as has everyone else on his path.

“Woke” as a slur is used by ppl who are more bothered by anti-discrimination policies than they are by discrimination. A term for those infuriated by anti-racism; but don’t mind actual racism all that much. It’s for those ppl enraged by Colin Kaepernick’s knee; but not at all by Derek Chauvin’s.

what they learned from minneapolis was not “don’t do this again” but “keep it quiet next time”

BREAKING: Lindsey Graham’s sudden death reveals everyone’s wake-up time on Sundays.

Lindsey Graham won't see you calling him a spineless ass-kisser who sold his soul to a con man, but all the other Republicans will.
