A picture of a recently passed, beloved pet is fine, if depressing. Filming your dog as they are being put to sleep? That's grossly indecent. Both to your poor dog, being exploited for likes at this juncture. And for all of us folk whose hearts you just broke. Not everything is content.

What is a fake job?

The White House said the fired members will be “replaced” but any new appointments by Trump will need to be approved by the Senate.

Quelle su-fucking-prise

A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

Logger and former president of the Maine senate Troy Jackson has announced he's entering the race for the U.S. Senate

Unfortunately, a stunned Paris is how they all got into this whole mess to begin with

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

Congratulations to all the men now mansplaining ancient Egyptian pyramid construction to me, an Egyptologist who has excavated pyramids and works on a pyramid site and has surveyed the pyramid fields. Truly, you are doing the Lord's work. Go cry to your mummies.

what a fucking asshole

yeah with a ouija board

If roughing up a girlfriend and locking her in a room was a virile, authentic a rejection of “smoothgroined” “HR lady” politics, but a rape is too far, then what’s at stake is not a principled rejection of violence against women but a cynical assessment of how much violence a man can get away with.

I know there is, um, other stuff happening right now, but HHS under RFK Jr. has postponed yet another meeting of the US Preventive Services Task Force, while also failing to provide public access to nominees' application materials as promised in a Federal Register notice

continue to think that planter’s support with the lib/left male pundit class was not *in spite of* his various transgressions, but because of them, a frankly pathetic attempt to reassert dem masculinity through a man whose violent career they believed represented working class authenticity

What kills me about this guy is that it was such an easy call right at the outset, and yet here we fucking are

let this be a lesson to deal with your feelings of gender anxiety and masculine inadequacy with a hobby or therapy or something and not a high stakes senate election

It's not too late to weigh in on the proposed OMB rule, which would put ALL federal grant making in the hands of political commissars. www.defendpublichealth.org/campaign/cri...

There's a part in the book "Careless People" where the author beats Zuck at Settlers of Catan, and he is absolutely wrecked by it. Someone pulls her aside to explain everyone else has been letting him win for years. I think about this a lot re: why tech bros think everyone will love AI chatbots.

Spot the difference

Just after the battle of Gettysburg, Lt. Frank Haskell of Wisconsin set down his memories of the fight as he had witnessed it from his perspective as a division commander’s aide de camp. I like to revisit it every year because of the way Haskell uses his words to paint a vivid picture for the reader

NEW: This is too much. The DOJ accidentally emailed copies of Volume II of Jack Smith's final report to the lawyers representing a woman they charged with obstruction of justice for emailing Volume II of Jack Smith's final report. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/doj-accide...

Lol

For years, Democrats have staved off a sea change, exploiting fears that only moderates can win outside deep blue areas and promising that despite their moderation, those candidates will deliver. But the Trump Era exposed both false narratives.

💖Help us welcome Ditto & Dove! 💖We got an alert that these two little sisters were spotted at the county dump & we were there quicker than a cat to a cardboard box! They've been in a foster home for socialization & now they've come out of their shells & are ready for adoption!

I don’t want this point to be lost in the discourse. Going digital-only means inequity for people who cannot afford internet or constantly purchasing new games. Libraries provide opportunities for people to experience games they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford, and that will be lost.

i kinda love this answer, it’s very illuminating. it’s not about female athletes at all, it’s about the fragile egos of delusional psychopathic parents who want returns on their perceived investments

Iconic line from @stevevladeck.bsky.social here in response to Will Baude’s SCOTUS boosterism www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/o...

Today, the Epstein survivors launched their website. They put a lot of time and effort into putting their stories together for the general public. They deserve our support. Please check it out if you have the mental capacity, and please share widely. ❤️

If anyone is feeling generous, I'm on disability, so anything to get closer to this goal is a real lifesaver. gofund.me/d7a91f9bf

John Hinckley Jr. in 1981

This is bone-chilling. A conservative hedge fund manager wants to require little girls to pass genital inspections for their “safety.” And it’s only for girls’ sports. There’s a clear link between transphobia and child sexual abuse.

I do not think there is sufficient appreciation for how catastrophic yesterday’s decision in Slaughter is for this country. As Justice Sotomayor said in her dissent and she intoned from the bench yesterday, “today the majority reshapes our Govt.”

I hate when these accounts post “breaking news” with zero citation. It’s a plague.

The SCOTUS decisions yesterday was another step towards a totalitarian regime being the head of the US. Yes, it's that serious. Any "subordinate" can be fired by the President. That basically means ANYBODY.

absolutely vital to win the senate this november. need to basically blockade judicial confirmations for the next two years.

This country was one person's vote away this morning from putting any birthright citizen in danger of being deported tomorrow. We are so much closer to the abyss than we think. Man oh man.

europeans preferring to kill chronically ill people instead of installing air conditioning in fucking hospitals is straight up eugenics.

Sotomayor: "The Court gives the President a power unknown even to the English Crown against which the Founders revolted, elevating him above his once-coequal branches by transforming a duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed into a license to act in defiance of those very laws."

Tomorrow at SCOTUS is gonna be like: a. Trans athletes get screwed b. Another campaign finance law is gutted c. Birthright citizenship is upheld ... and we're all supposed to focus on (c) and forget about all the atrocious decisions that preceded it. Let's not, please!

A president is sworn in and nominates five new FTC members. The Senate confirms them. The FTC then blocks a merger, consistent with federal law but annoying the president’s corporate allies. The president then fires the FTC members who voted against the merger. This is fine, according to SCOTUS.

Slaughter is an earthquake: SCOTUS has overturned a 90-year-old precedent that facilitated much of modern governance by granting many agencies meaningful independence from the president. Now SCOTUS crushes that independence ... for seemingly every agency except the Federal Reserve.

the claim of fraud is simply the claim that americans who vote for democrats are not legitimate members of the political community and their votes shouldn't count.

The Slaughter case, overturning precedent, returns us to a spoils system where a president can “clean house” every four years, destroying our professional, independent civil service.

The Supreme Court must be reformed or dismantled at this point. It's a rogue body filled with 6 right wing extremists who want to replace democracy with a white Christian King. If a politician doesn't support Court reform then they arent the leaders for this moment. Step aside.

the revealed view of this SCOTUS is that the framers got things mixed up when they wrote the constitution and that actually, the president is the central figure of the national government and congress exists as a junior partner that really ought not get in his way

That’s a wrap!

The Supreme Court's first opinion is Watson v. RNC. By a 5–4 vote, the Supreme Court UPHOLDS state laws that allow the counting of mail ballots that are sent by Election Day but arrive shortly thereafter. Roberts and Barrett join the liberals. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
