Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Congratulations on your re-election, Mayor Wu - the best mayor in America. You proved once more that Boston can't be bought and won't be bullied.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

As if my dental surgery on Monday wasn't already unpleasant enough, I had to listen to my dentist tell his assistant about how he's "always been the alpha male". 🤢

It's really OK to change your mind when new facts are presented. It really is.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.

shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump

Do I get an extension on my Amazon credit card payment due to Amazon web services outage preventing me from paying?

Pundits saying "no kings" doesn't make sense because Trump was duly elected are practicing bad faith ignorance of his corrupt consolidation and abuse of power. Their audiences will not see beyond this simplistic talking point, though, which is easily regurgitated in the comment section. 😐

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking? Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

Dave Matthews has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

Gonna tell my grandkids this is Butch and Sundance. #robertredford

i respect how every tribute to robert redford is at least a little bit horny

the Atlanta Braves were originally called the Boston Red Stockings, and frankly, that’s a much more brave name

Get Out And Vote for Boston Mayor Wu! @mayorwu.boston.gov

If only Democrats showed the same resolve to destroy Fox News as Republicans do PBS and NPR.

Listen up, nerds

I don't know why I keep reaching in my mind for this analogy but American political culture feels to me right now like what Moses found when he returned from Mt Sinai and everyone had said "screw it" and started worshipping the golden calf.

I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops. I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops. I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.

Sorry I wished on a cursed monkey's paw that our country would stop going to war in the Middle East, and now America is invading America.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

We really need to pass the Idaho Stop (“Lobster Roll”) in MA

You ‘run the gamut’ and ‘run the gauntlet.’ You don’t ‘run the gambit.’ gamut = entire range or series gauntlet = severe trial Gambit = Alpha-level mutant who can convert potential energy to kinetic energy

Sandwich guy? Nay, sandwich artist. #eatfresh #subway #sandwichguy

Admittedly a bonkers comparison, but regarding Newsom I'm reminded of Lincoln saying about Grant, "I cannot spare this man. He fights."

Americans love technology and absolutely hate science and that’ll always be fucking confusing to me

This is an auspicious development.

Lol there's ANOTHER Count of Monte Cristo out? Well I guess I gotta watch it to compare it with the French one.

The animating belief of QAnon was that an elite pedophile ring was being protected by the deep state and Donald Trump was the hero who was going to expose it all. Which, ironically, is exactly what is happening right now. Only Trump’s not the hero, he’s the deep state.

Pretty soon all economic and jobs data released by the federal government will be handwritten with a black Sharpie

Just listened to @marcelias.bsky.social on Tim Miller's pod and holy shit I would follow that guy into battle. What a badass. @thebulwark.com @timmiller.bsky.social

Interestingly, the Board *does have control. Powell only gets one vote See also: not understanding how the economy works

MORE: Whistleblower Aid says that one of its clients “has lawfully disclosed evidence to the DOJ’s Office of the Inspector General that corroborates the thrust of the whistleblower claims regarding Emil Bove and other senior DOJ officials actively and deliberately undermining the rule of law.”

Oh no I really hope Bill Clinton isn’t in the Epstein files, I’ll have to get rid of my Bill Clinton hat and my Bill Clinton sneakers and my Bill Clinton cologne and my Bill Clinton watch and take down my Bill Clinton flag and I’ll have to delete my Bill Clinton nft trading cards

That fucking Sharpie again!

I know nothing about comics, but I’m pretty sure—contrary to what all the critics of woke Superman say—that any character created by two Jewish children of immigrants in the ‘30s has in its fucking DNA: 1) the longing for a safe and tolerant refuge in a foreign land; and 2) a deep hatred of Nazis

"some animals are more equal than others"

36 conservation groups are urging the immediate release of Mexican gray wolf Asha, her mate, and their 5 pups— whose release was delayed without explanation. “Every wolf deserves to be wild. Let Asha continue to be a leader for her endangered species.” nywolf.org/2025/07/lett...

Did u know that when we blocked assholes instead of arguing with them Bluesky was cool and awesome and fewer people saw the assholes’ posts? now u know you are not going to convince them or make them feel bad and there’s no scoreboard You’re just smearing shit on the camera lens

I got a KBOS Bravo clearance today. #aviation #4thofjuly
