All the "1776 - 2026" iconography makes me half wonder if those are years on a tombstone

if I were an elected representative and my constituents were coming up and saying "our daughter can't go to college unless she gets an athletic scholarship" I would be like "this is why we need universal free college" not "we'll pretend to solve this by being cruel to trans people." crazy right

Street photography often lives in small everyday moments. A café window, someone pausing inside, and a quiet scene unfolding between reflections and reality. ☕📷

I was thinking of reading some Paine this weekend but I haven't got time for the American Crisis. OH NUTS I BLEW IT WHAT I >MEANT<, WAS, I was thinking of readng the American Crisis, but I haven't got time for the ... oh, nevermind, sorry

Please please someone on the MSP feed go bring Earl Gray home and start sharing photos to the skyline

Try really hard not to not let the regime dampen you too much this July 4th; don’t let them conquer your spirits. Read The American Crisis, remember the tough times we’ve gotten through in the past. We’ve faced existential threats before.

We all make choices.

democratic presidential candidates should talk about expanding scotus the way trump talked about building the wall

I think we could say this about Taylor Swift and NYC, too

I welcome a fact check, but Spain, a nation of 50 million people, accomplished the bulk of this transition in about 6 years I believe. And that’s *without* the great new batteries.

Could all the chips fall the right way and return the Senate to the Dems' hands in 2026? Well, did you think it was unlikely that Trump would take all the swing states in 2024? www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

The justified complaints about Sony PlayStation moving away from hard copies of its games reminds me of the importance of owning your own copies, in atoms if possible. Years ago lent out my hard copy of the movie The History Of Future Folk (Hondo!), and it was never returned and it can't be bought.

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

SEIU Local 1991 is the backbone of South Florida's health care system, and I am honored to have their support in this race. As Senator, I'll fight to lower health care costs, expand coverage, and ensure our health care workers have the support they need and deserve.

Sweet. I used to love it when she was on Soledad O'Brien's CNN show and put her stupidity on regular display.

wait lol this is so much worse than I expected the explanation to be? they published the story based on two words, neither of which was Alito’s name??? that’s the most obviously fireable offense possible if it’s any other journalist alive????? www.npr.org/sections/npr...

Thank you so much for all of your happy birthday wishes. Honestly, I don’t really feel 100. I feel pretty good. I feel like I’m only 98!

This is correct. It went from a "crazy idea" that the various Law Knowers said was obviously stupid, to a nearly-there cause that can be won if Rs get to replace Sotomayor. And in the meantime, Rs who were otherwise happy w Trump on immigration have new demands to stop "birth tourism."

Why does Goldman feel the need to point out that Mamdani is from Uganda and that homosexuality is illegal there like it is some sort of “gotcha” on the mayor on Israel? Zohran was a child when he lived there.

Small actions matter. You, yourself, may not move a mountain, but your actions can contribute to building something so immense as the Great Pyramid at Giza. (Just sayin') www.wnct.com/news/mt-oliv...

I did not realize how crooked an outfit "Track AIPAC" seems to be. They appear to list J Street contributions as being part of AIPAC or functionally the same thing. Their "individual expenditures" list seems to include a lot of giving from people who are simply Jews.

Take a look at this art!

People, for the love of God, please stop treating birthright as some kind of sweeping victory. It was 5-4 on the constitutional issue. The dissent laid out a fucking ROADMAP for what Trump should do next. The court always gives Trump multiple bites at the apple WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU HAPPY ABOUT?

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

literally one day apart. goldfish would scoff at this lack of object permanence

ppl with depression get told by his party every day that theyre evil for feeling that way and bootstrap pulling and more hard work is all they need, he should have been working the sad away

This birthright ruling is why I just refuse to tolerate all the Democrat garment rending over NY voters choosing progressive candidates. They are incapable of governing in this moment. The politics of appeasement and centrism gets us to a 5-4 decision on the constitutional question.
