NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar praised Clark’s talent but argued that the label disrespects A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart and other WNBA stars who built the league before her rise. By: Bernadette Giacomazzo #BlackskyNews www.complex.com/sports/a/ber...

Online commenter shuts down FBI agents.

My moderate view is that everyone who is responsible for the fact that 5-yr-old Camila spent 118 days alone in detention should face trial. Especially those responsible for the policies.

Okay okay okay let’s go

A ballot initiative to reverse Idaho’s strict abortion ban qualified for the ballot today. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Holy COW. Text analysis of comments on the OMB rule: overwhelming opposition, overwhelmingly not form letters. (But 9 in 10 comments supporting the rule ARE form responses, LOL) Whatever happens next, folks have stepped up.

NO. Look, as a comms professional, yes. He had to say something about his colleague. But just say this: “We’re so sorry to hear about the Senator. We thank him for his long years of service, and his family is in our thoughts.” Stop trying to personalize a bad person!

Disable autoplay and infinite scroll or risk massive fines, EU tells Meta

If the argument here is "Brad Lander is too safe as a Jew in diaspora to tell Israeli Jews how to keep safe," that sits uncomfortably with the argument that a Jewish state is necessary to keep Jews safe.

Not true. In their list of grievances, the Founding Fathers complained that King George III was blocking colonial laws that would promote immigration and make it easier for foreign settlers to become citizens.

People who are unfamiliar with the UCMJ may not realize that for an active duty major to do this in uniform, the consequence can be court martial and incarceration. All of it is prohibited, but the wearing of the uniform was an intentional choice, and a likely forfeit of both his career and freedom.

The proposed initiative would legalize abortion until fetal viability or in cases of emergency. It would also enumerate rights related to reproductive health and privacy in medical decisions. #idpol #idleg

Texas mother was turned away by two different emergency rooms when she sought treatment for a miscarriage seven weeks into her pregnancy. Even as she developed a fever, writhed in pain, and suffered massive bleeding—she was refused care. www.huffpost.com/entry/texas-...

🚨 HUGE ongoing surge of ICE arrests, with ICE directing 80% of all officers to go out into the field and round people up, aiming to hit 2,000 arrests a day; which would be more than during the Minneapolis surge. This may be why the nun in Texas got briefly picked up. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

This is cool (the first one especially)

My suspicion is that Instagram is far more responsible for the upsurge in antisemitism than Israeli war crimes in Gaza. Frankly a lot of the daily antisemitism I’ve encountered has nothing to do with Gaza, just jokes about Jews and money, Jews controlling everything, etc.

the egg price thing under biden was all fake lol

you know, when someone says something like "these are the things that need to be done to avert disaster" and your response is "you think democrats will do that?!?" all you're telling me is that you think politics is a spectator sport

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

really cannot be emphasized enough that the drafters of the birthright clause very much considered cases analogous to undocumented immigrants and *included them too*

In a sane world (an alt reality) today's dissents would sufficient to warrant Thomas, Gorsuch and Alito's impeachment and removal from office. If you defy the plain words, meaning, intent, history, precedent of a black letter constitutional injunction u are abusing your power and should be removed.

The trans sports ban are almost completely an invention of the media, conservative and mainstream. it has been years of lies, of shoddy fact checking on just completely false conservative claims, years of phony concern trolling.

Well, now I'm furious. ICE picked up A NUN ON HER WAY TO MASS!

This is also why the occasional Trump loss does not rebut the manifest fact that the Roberts six are partisan Republicans.

No matter how loudly the dumbest people shout it, criticism of the state of Israel is not, in fact, "anti-Jewish messaging"

david frum is an evil piece of shit who helped to murder hundreds of thousands of people and continues to push hate and violence everyday and every way he can. His elevation by the media as a worthwhile anti Trump voice has been incredibly cynical and morally bankrupt.

george conway lost by a bajillion votes which we can all agree is fucking hilarious

The California Public Utilities Commission estimates that PG&E bills could jump by $444 annually in 2027. By 2030, they could be spending another $840 more across the year.

The known cases of police stalking are almost certainly a vast underreporting of the overall abuse, because they largely include only cases in which the behavior was so egregious that it led to police officers being fired, arrested, or both. www.404media.co/cops-keep-ge...

An eyewitness account:

In 2022, workers at the Apple Store in Towson made history as the first to unionize their store.   Now, Apple is closing the store & the workers of IAM Local 4538 have gone to the NLRB over unfair labor practices.   Apple is worth $4.3+ TRILLION. They can afford to do better, they chose not to.

Children weren’t the target of federal food program changes, but they’re increasingly “collateral damage,” one expert said. The drop in the number of children receiving SNAP benefits is a “public health crisis” in the making, said another expert.

Ahhhhhhhhh Good I run to Bluesky for help. Weird it's happening on an actual media site. bsky.app/profile/door...

Public power is the future of the electric system. "@michaelwara.bsky.social said that because “electric power is this essential good that’s provided over a very large system,” more radical change — like turning all of PG&E into a public utility — would be better than cities leaving individually."

Here is what I like. Instead of saying "Buy her book" they are giving away free copies of my book. The first 20 people who show up get a free copy. That's because this is a library and libraries are totally 100% awesome.

This is not part of the agreement. He is making this up. Iran agrees to give up NOTHING on their nuclear program in this deal.

SCOOP: So remember Dialog, Peter Thiel's private society that doesn't have a public website and no public list of members? I (along with a number of other journalists) have just been tipped off that embedded in the code of their closed off website there IS what seems to be a list of some members.

On the contrary, I believe that raising the cap on incomes for Social Security taxes above the current ceiling of $184,500 is the best and fairest option and would likely be politically popular. It still leaves plenty of room for taxing the rich, even if it brings their effective tax rate over 50%.

Sucks that this 64 year old Rocky & Bullwinkle joke still hits now

While his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse — gleefully. Read more: www.theverge.com/tech/949259/...

Monsanto wanted its growth hormone in every glass of Canadian milk. One government scientist stood in the way and his own bosses spent 14 years trying to destroy him for it. His name was Dr. Shiv Chopra. Canadians owe him a lot. Pt 1

Reuters: US JUDGE ORDERS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO REINSTALL SIGNS, EXHIBITS IT REMOVED FROM NATIONAL PARKS DISCUSSING TOPICS LIKE SLAVERY, CLIMATE CHANGE

Since Iran's position hasn't weakened, I'm assuming that the release of the $25B and a reconstruction fund has also been agreed to. This is complete surrender. Iran is objectively far better off financially and diplomatically than they were before the war.

Nice thing to see on my way home.

"So this very much looks like a deliberate war crime. It's an attack I fear the USA will regret for a long time. It is no different than Al-Qaeda deliberately targeting civilians. If the US gets attacked in return, it will only be served what seems to be official American policy on a cold plate."

ICE's flight taking persecuted people from safety into a civil war is on its final leg to the Central African Republic, a country so dangerous the United States recommends all Americans avoid traveling there for any reason whatsoever. So much for supporting the people of Iran.
