What a game. So unbelievably impressive from England. Legendary stuff from Pickford and Bellingham.

🇳🇴 Norway beats Brazil in its biggest win ever, now heading to its first quarterfinal ever. Norway hadn't made the World Cup since 1998 and this is just its fourth appearance.

Our current Supreme Court was installed for the purpose of turning the clock back on our rights as Americans, @hillaryclinton.bsky.social says. “It’s shocking when they stand up to [Trump] on anything.” Help us stand up to Trump – even when SCOTUS won't: https://bit.ly/4qskS3m

For the new Norway fans donmoynihan.substack.com/p/norway-in-...

STAY HUMBLE EH

Haaland's touch to goal rate is insane. Every time he touches the ball, it feels like he's going to score.

Incredible goal race (and Haaland sat for a game)

Texans, vote for Gina Hinojosa! She hangs out with Willie, she doesn't want to kill pregnant women and force feed Christian sharia law down your throats. It's time to push Greg right on out of the governor's mansion in Austin.

The fascist marching Trump didnt see them as a threat They weren't arrested, brutalized or pepper sprayed They work for ice

Newsom: All of this happening—this open sewage system. You talk about draining the swamp. He gave it a presidential suite with gold leaf. This is stuff I don’t even imagine exists at this scale in a year and a half, even in Putin’s Russia or Kim Jong-un’s North Korea.

Zelenskyy: Intelligence has once again received information that Russia is preparing a new large-scale strike. “This is exactly Putin’s style – right after America’s Independence Day and just ahead of the NATO summit in Ankara. Russia wants to bring even more evil and kill more people.”

A hero’s welcome for the Cabo Verde team arriving home ❤️

The Kelpies are even more magnificent close up. Situated outside Falkirk they are the world's largest equine structures. Designed by Andy Scott & sitting by the Forth & Clyde Canal they are a tribute to Scotland's industrial heritage & the working horses that powered its canals.

Thinking about this scene from the BLUES BROTHERS today for no particular reason.

I’m not going to be lectured by a degenerate rapist, pedophile, slob who is stealing from American taxpayers about the tenets or dangers of communism, especially since it’s obvious that he has the intellectual capacity of an overflowing toilet at Coachella.

HAALAND SIMPLY CANNOT BE STOPPED

NORWAY LEADS BRAZIL. HAALAND!!

Looking at the week ahead, Elias Law Group is litigating 80 voting and election cases in 40 states (plus DC). This is a lot of work for a small firm of 60+ lawyers. When we fight we can win!⚖️🗳️💪

"The democracy challenges of the present and the history of the youth advocacy for the 26th Amendment demonstrate that a Second Founding is both necessary and possible. July 5th should be America’s first day of a bold Second Founding agenda." www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-n...

More positive looking headlines!

At least he admits it: the Supreme Court’s attacks on voting rights are about rigging elections for Rs.

This is what Trump says about my resolution with @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social, @repespaillat.bsky.social, and @meng.house.gov to restore voting rights, end the filibuster, and reform the Supreme Court.

So is it now time for American Veterans to step up and “eradicate” Donald Trump, who is directing the his MAGA Cult to “eradicate” Democrats! WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH, AND ARE ASKING THE REPUBLICANS TO IMPEACH AND REMOVE TRUMP, WHO IS APPARENTLY MENTALLY DISTURBED!

🪪 Many states across the U.S. require some form of ID to vote. Strict requirements depress turnout and disproportionately harm voters of color and young voters, numerous studies have shown. But there are ways to create a more inclusive democracy: https://bit.ly/49FVtL4

That’s the kind of planning for the future I like to see…

Performative cruelty is the weak person’s attempt to appear strong.

I wrote an essay about how everyday life became politicized, how Donald Trump intensified that trend, and why it's harder to find places that feel genuinely American in the inclusive sense. If you're reflecting on what Independence Day meant this year, I hope you'll read it, and share your thoughts.

The founders were wrong about race, but right about immigration. www.cato.org/blog/founder...

America's founders lived through a period with a higher share of immigrants than at any point after in US history. In 1776, when they complained about the king obstructing immigration and naturalization laws, the foreign-born share was likely over 20% www.cato.org/blog/founder...

Belgium manager Rudi Garcia compared FIFA’s decision to lift Folarin Balogun’s one-match suspension to an April Fools joke. “I didn’t know that at the World Cup, July 5 is actually April 1,” Garcia said, framing Belgium’s opposition to the ruling as a defense of “football” and “integrity.”

Btw I am getting some passionate responses re all of this. What do you know - Bluesky is now a sports app! 😅

Warnings of a possible attack tonight. And still, I couldn’t help but share this. The National Art Museum of Ukraine posted this painting today. I fell in love. Hryhorii Diachenko Head of a Girl. Study 1910s

I don’t blame the USMNT, the players, the management. There’s a process for appeals which they no doubt followed. It’s Trump - he can’t bear anything happening that’s not about him.
