By all of their measures, Trump’s inadequacies are a bounding success.

She’s one of few democrats who don’t seem content to be complicit in turning over our country to the oligarchs in exchange for a few insider trading tips.

this is a phenomenal message!

Two months ago. [March 15]

The NAACP is urging Black athletes and fans to “withhold athletic and financial support” from public universities in states that “have moved to limit, weaken or erase Black voting representation”

1. What I found in Trump's new 113-page financial disclosure report. It doesn't look good.

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

A worthy cause!

Students complain about a white conservative guy set to give a commencement speech, the university doesn't cancel him, it gets an article in the NYT. Students complain about a brown anti-genocide guy set to give a commencement speech, he is canceled, and no one on the campus culture cares. Huh.

let’s replicate this at other institutions and also highlight the ratio of faculty to administrator positions.

If the Democrats let Republicans have this INSANELY easy W, I am going to be apoplectic. This shit polls like chlamydia. Get on the other side of it now and be loud about it.

In his latest, @jasongarcia.bsky.social explains why most everyone loses out with gerrymandered districts.

Golly this makes me want to give the SPLC money.

However, to avoid lawsuits stemming from the certainty of AI hallucination, the hologram agent will answer every question with: "the moving walkway is coming to an end, please watch your step."

The WaPo editorial board when Republicans gerrymander in Texas versus when Democrats gerrymander in Virginia.

really good piece here as AI capacity increases, its potential for use in stealing other people's labor increases right alongside it theamericanscholar.org/who-is-blake...

Just bought a blue canary for the outlet by the light switch!

Does anyone feel safer now

"Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous—whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light....Supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way....And then I see the disinfectant...by injection inside or almost a cleaning."

What idiot called it AI psychosis and not Son of Sam Altman

Good reminder that the digital devices you "own" are never truly yours.

too on the nose...

It is hard to capture what a sweeping strategic defeat the war in Iran has been for the United States. I’m going to thread here some of the posts today that try to capture those effects. Here’s the first:

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

"THEN they vote MF'er riiiiight back in"

Republican lawmakers in Florida are about to pass a bill designed to suppress turnout on on university and college campuses. The legislation (HB 991) would stop university students from using their student IDs as identification when they show up at their polling place to vote.

In addition to making it illegal for trained and compassion facilitators to discuss race in college classrooms, they are baiting young white men into hating everyone who's different than them.

These guys are going out of their way to ruin their own accomplishment. It’s amazing.

Donald Trump killed two of my constituents. He is a liar and should be ashamed of himself.

Unlike other US Olympians speaking out against the Trump regime, Team USA's men’s hockey players chose to praise the president, write @edgeofsports.bsky.social and @julesboykoff.bsky.social. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

‘We’re just one Epstein story away from Trump announcing that UFOs are real’ - Seth Meyers, 25 July 2025

when you're a size 8 but the 10 was on sale

A good example of how crazy it is that dynamic pricing is legal.

If you see people being dragged off the streets and sidewalks into vans and SUVs by heavily armed masked men this weekend in Miami, not to worry...it's just the US Government at work.

UC faculty and the @aaup.org demand the end of mandatory surveillance software use across the UC system. The future belongs to people, not to big brother! www.science.org/content/arti...

House Democrats Demand Answers About ICE Targeting of K-12 Students for Deportation Trump's “ICE is using your tax dollars to target children,” said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Nearly 2,350 kids have been brought into immigration detention since Trump-2. www.commondreams.org/news/ice-tar...

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

Van Hollen: "Those who cave in -- those like ABC who cave in -- what they do is give the bully an even bigger appetite. When they appease they bully, they put all of us at risk."

This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for. But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem

This is wonderfully promising for reducing the costs, energy consumption, and CO2 emissions associated with air conditioning! www.nrel.gov/news/detail/...

If trump needed actual medical care he’d be better off with Conan O’Brien’s doctor than Ronny Jackson

“Kirk & I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side of the continued possibility of American politics.” So it’s personal? B/c if you were a Black woman or transgender, Kirk would not imagine you having any role in the future of American politics.

A threat to authoritarianism anywhere is a threat to authoritarianism everywhere

The professor has been fired and senior administrators removed from their post. No mention of this in the New York Times, The Free Press, The Atlantic or other outlets who drove the campus speech moral panic.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

Casar: "Look, when Donald Trump said first this didn't exist, and then we found it, and now he's saying he didn't sign it -- his signature looks just like his own signature -- it's like the bank robber who who's caught with a bag full of cash and says 'I'm not the one who robbed the bank.'"

What do the clinic trials say about prayer as an effective prevention measure for communicable diseases?

I want to live in a state where the Health Department and Surgeon General aren't the biggest risks to my health and well-being.
