Huge turnout tonight for a protest over ICE killing Lorenzo Salgado Araujo on Tuesday Magnolia Park, Houston. Video is from my colleague Macy Meinhardt, who is not on Bluesky but is on the scene.

Elon Musk sells child porn. It’s long past time to throw that scumbag in prison. Twitter is the child porn site, and all the politicians and journalists who are still on it support child porn. They’re pretty OK with Nazis, too. Good people.

ICE is still out there killing people.

the reason that people are being so loud about "i told you so" with platner is that it sucks shit to have to spend your entire life doing an uncredited minor in how to avoid being the victim of sexual violence and then have that expertise dismissed as you being a shrill hysterical bitch

Really big difference between coalition-builder mindset and burn-it-down stuff like this. So much of what Platner and his campaign are doing, even in finally withdrawing, will ultimately alienate a fraction of supporters from his replacement.

being in the DSA is fun because you get to spend most of your time helping people with social anxiety canvass for democratic school board candidates and then go online to see people with blue wave emojis in their bios compare you to pol pot

Racicot hoped the New York Times story would have been enough. It wasn't. She agrees with Platner politically for christ's sake www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

Racists online saw this photo, doxxed her, and found out she had a previous arrest (the charge later being dismissed). Meanwhile she is a mentally disabled working mom minding her business. If someone can put me in contact, I’m happy to offer her a housing relief stipend thurmanperryfoundation.org

Trump instinctively feels solidarity with a fellow sexual assaulter and leaps to defend him, even when doing so isn't even in his own political self-interest

sadly this also ends his career as an oysterman as he no longer needs to pretend to have a job

Half of Arizonans on food stamps have lost benefits since Republicans enacted the biggest cut in the program's history last year. Janae Wall is one of them. Her five children ask her, “Why don’t we have a bunch of food in the house like we used to?” she said.

remembering some guys today, internet edition. remember favstar?

'victims of sexual violence' aren't, like, a special interest group. think we established pretty clearly back in 2019 that that group includes damn near all women and a number of men. you sure you like those odds?

tax the rich but also make each of them walk down a runway where they get an extra tax if i think their outfit is ugly

This Platner stuff feels like a microcosm of “having good politics vs having good morals” to me

People are being murdered in Iran right now by the United States of America.

feels like this whole story should be a bigger national story.

I hate this headline. I hate it so much. Let me tell you why. It makes it sound like the AI was "cast" in a movie, except the movie is being made by the same people who made Tilly, it's all in house, I might as well announce that Dan Olson has been cast as the host of a Folding Ideas doc.

It's only Christians who do this. My Muslim clients always go out of their way to wish me joy on Jewish holidays. My atheist clients too. I've represented Hindu people, Buddhist people, Shinto people, Sikh people. The only people who ever insist that I must accept their religion are Christians.

Please do not try to convert your lawyer to Christianity. It's weird. And no, I really don't consider "saving my soul" to be payment. I'd rather do your case pro bono. Sincerely, Sheryl

Sick. Awesome. Thanks for that. Really preferred this to funding a Blade game by the Dishonored people or people at Obsidian having jobs.

My "The U.S. Attorney's Office doesn't concede any wrongdoing" t-shirt has people seeking a lot of attorneys' fees already conceded to by another statement on my shirt.

UAW delegates voted to divest the union’s reported $400,000 in Israel Bonds, making it the first major U.S. union to do so. Organizers say it’s a victory for international solidarity and a sign of the working class's growing rejection of Israel. mondoweiss.net/2026/07/uaw-... #Palestine #Israel

What we already know is horrific. Imagine how bad discovery would be if the government is willing to pay our fees (something the government doesn’t readily do) just to avoid it.

guy who wears a lot of button down shirts: listen snowflake that's just how tough guys talk! sorry you're such an HRcel! actual tough guy: this is my shih tzu Princess Fluffy she has a different sweater for every day of the week and if you look at her wrong i will beat you to death with your own leg

In honor of her death anniversary today (July 8th, Flossie Wong-Staal, a Chinese-American woman, was a part of the team who discovered HIV and she was the first to clone HIV, fully genetically mapping it, enabling HIV tests to exist & large-scale screening of donated blood. She saved countless lives

I’ve thought about this tweet so often I had to go look it up

"I spoke with my good friend Mitch McConnell today for about 20 minutes."

I don’t think people need to be “crucified” for thinking Platner changed or whatever but I do think they should engage in serious self-reflection and humility, such as not referring to themselves as being “crucified”

Not lost on me that the high profile "they were right, and i fucked up" apologies have come from women (goldberg, klein) and not from the podbros who are arguably more responsible for this bugfuck mess than anyone else other than the candidate himself.

back when i worked at petco i would always say "goodbye [dog name]!" in a sweet voice and one day i did this for a big biker lookin guy walking away with his pomeranian and he turned around and walked back very serious and stopped and (gently) grabbed that dogs paw and made her wave goodbye to me

They’ve said this about nearly everyone they’ve shot in a moving car, and they’ve lied nearly every time.

Even more infuriating for me, he was an obvious retread of Fetterman - a man I had to reluctantly canvass for after he won the primary but whom I also always got a bad vibe from. By the same people no less, insisting that I wasn't seeing what I knew was seeing

I think the Platner thing hit me so hard bc it was one of the most protracted, widespread acts of misogynist gaslighting from my own side that I've seen. We were presented with an obvious violent scumbag who was constantly lying (badly, might I add) and told we were crazy for not loving him

Belgian team celebrating their win in the locker room.

Maybe the other thing that some people will get through their THICK SKULLS is that most people who live & work in the US are WORKING CLASS. Teachers are WORKING CLASS. NURSES are WORKING CLASS. Social workers are WORKING CLASS. SO ARE STARBUCKS BARISTAS (who some seem to despise)....

the platner situation is a good reminder that when everyone with the worst political instincts in the world all line up behind one candidate that’s actually a bad sign

we need more organizers and fewer opinion havers I stg

one could make the argument that the goo goo dolls are the most springsteen-ass band to ever write 700 songs about blue collar yearning from a pretty boy in tight jeans completely dissastisfied with the totally fine place where he grew up. in this essay i will

Incredible news. Illinois Governor Pritzker has signed a law removing testosterone HRT from the PDMP program, a program other states can use to access people's prescription records across state lines. It will protect trans people in IL from places like TX. Subscribe to support our journalism.
