📌Just in case a MAGA in your life is lecturing you about respecting Lindsey Graham and the dead. Have a good day, everybody.

So many good memes this week.

my patron saint

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

As Steve Schmidt put it, Graham was a “pilot fish”

maybe this is why billionaires as a class are fighting so hard for immortality. dying is just so proletarian and people make fun of you after

It’s like when your food is taking a long time to come out so your server brings some free bread to apologize for the wait.

[Every World Cup game] "I like this player" Rapist "What about this guy?" Dated a teenager "What about this other guy?" Homophobic "Surely this other guy..." Literally invented new racial slurs

I would like to stop sweating or coughing. Pick one. I’m not greedy at this point.

This should be illegal. I understand the need for privacy but if you are a public servant and you are unable to serve, your constituents deserve at the very least to know and to know why.

it's amazing how these nimble, fast, world-class athletes are somehow as clumsy as I, a mere pleb!

It should be a crime to conceal the death of a public official

I shared this post on FB theonion.com/all-the-feat... and a former colleague of mine pointed out that Meta glasses can be helpful for people with severe visual impairment, and fair enough. Counterpoint:

This post is important. Federal agencies are blocking local officials from accessing evidence about the fatal ICE shooting in Houston, so the Harris County District Attorney's office is asking the community to send them any evidence so they can work to hold ICE accountable.

If you were an eyewitness or have video/ photos relevant to the 6:50 a.m. fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, use the secure link below to upload your info. The Harris County District Attorney's Office will continue pursuing all investigative avenues in this case.

He has my vote

Super disingenuous framing by HuffPost. Look. I'm the king of calling Bernie and his Bernie Bros and the DSA Bros out on their anti-Black racism. This is not that. He was asking a *Black leftist*, how they address nonsense from *Black centrist* because as a white leftist, this is not his place.

Not the use of the word "detained" here to make it appear as though the settlers have some legal capacity to be doing this. If i ran up on a US Rep with a rifle and prevented them from leaving it would be, correctly, described as kidnapping; and doing so with political ends would be terrorism.

given the way the WH's DHS goons treated sitting California senator Alex Padilla, you can see how Israel would conclude its acceptable to treat US statesmen with the same impunity

political candidates should be tripping over themselves to run on this message (and we know why they aren't)

We are closing in on a sweet quarter of a million dollars raised for VoteRiders and the Southern Coalition for Social Justice in this year's @romancingthevote.com auction, and I love everyone in this bar. 💓

No no stop what you’re doing and watch this right fucking now and pray that Bonnie Tyler saw this before she died.

all shareholders suddenly explode

Crazy how People is the remaining publication that just goes for the jugular.

BREAKING NEWS: Meta rolls back controversial feature that let anyone tag public Instagram accounts and generate images using their likeness—without their knowledge or active consent. @wired.com

Get Wydenpilled.

This is what I'm talking about. Grieving widow already has house on the market.

After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.

These kinds of laws have an invisible ripple effect across the country. A good number of corporations will just change their policies instead of making a NYC-specific protocol. A lot of the consumer protections we have started in one state or big city.

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani announces click-to-cancel rule for NYC. This rule is aimed at guaranteeing New Yorkers can cancel subscriptions as easily as they sign up — and stopping corporations from trapping customers. This will save New Yorkers up to $162.5 million per year.

Meta now lets anyone use your Instagram photos in AI images without your consent. SAG-AFTRA recommends that #SagAftraMembers (and all Instagram users) opt-OUT of Meta’s new AI image generation tool, Muse Image. Take action to protect your likeness.

Just racial profiling

If I sent this picture to historic preservationist mom she would literally burst into tears

Man, nobody could build a shithouse like the WPA.
