Oh-no-how-sad-never-mind.

Thought it would be a good time to check in on this case: Marco Rubio buddy David Rivera, who was indicted 3 years ago for attempting to broker a deal for Maduro. www.politico.com/news/2022/12...

I HATE CHRISTMAS. Fuck

there is one and only one political strategy, and that is: “hang trump like an anchor around the neck of every single elected republican and the party itself.” no ‘friends across the aisle.’ no ‘the fever will break.’ anyone not on board with that has to go. no exceptions

We’ve gone from bootlegging whiskey during prohibition to having to bootleg truth during fascism…

The president of the United States stresses me the fuck out. He is INSANE. I can’t believe y’all let him get back in the WH. FUCK. Another 3 years of this? 😤😭😡

We have a criminal regime bent on ignoring the law to avoid accountability. The illegal Epstein coverup continues. We need to build loud, motivated communities that will apply pressure. I’m committed to doing whatever I can. Join us. www.americaamerica.news

In a small town in County Cork, Ireland, a monument stands in appreciation to the American Choctaw Indian Tribe. Although impoverished, shortly after being forced to walk the Trail of Tears, the tribe somehow gathered $170 to send to Ireland for famine relief in 1847 [Historic Vids]

This is a good interview with David Suzuki. And not just because he speaks well of PM Carney. I hate to say it but he is probably right. He also talks about setting up "citizen defence forces", something some of us have talked about here. But I have different ... 1/3 www.ipolitics.ca/2025/07/02/i...

RFKjr demands a list of those beaches be released — he wants to take his grandkids there to go swimming with them.

The No Kings protest map will help you find a place to exercise your First Amendment rights this weekend. (It's also a pretty good argument against the Electoral College.) www.nokings.org

They’re arresting the wrong people. The criminals are in the White House.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

Modern autocrats don’t always wear uniforms or rule by fear. They use elections, media control and polished images. Understanding this “spin dictatorship” is key to protecting democracy, especially in the U.S, writes an expert on authoritarian regimes:

He can fuck off to mars forever and always

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

If I can be real for a moment, what frightens me most right now is that David Brooks is more upset about Trump-Musk than many, maybe most, liberal pundits and Democratic leaders are.

What an odd little idea that is absolutely going to blow up in their faces.

Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back. This is only going to get worse.

great, provocative column from larry tye on what it took to defeat the american nightmare of joe mccarthy and the ism that bears his name. along these lines, may i also point you to the 2nd season of my podcast, “ultra”: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r... www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Democrats… learn something from this

Happy Pride month! These are some photons from space as seen from my driveway. The Elephant’sTrunk Nebula in Cepheus, about 2,400 light years from Earth. #astrophotography

For four long years I was told not to call what’s coming our way fascism but here we are:

every article about politics in every mainstream publication is flat out lying to you if it does not emphasize that our government has been taken over by freaks and lunatics

when i tweeted this eight years ago IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A JOKE

I keep seeing people say Musk “failed” in his government takeover. No, he did not fail. He shut down investigations into his businesses, he garnered huge contracts, and he stole the personal data of everyone in the US. That’s not a “failure.” This motherfucker won, and won big.

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

We should have a memorial day for COVID. It is horrific that we as a society have done virtually nothing to remember the millions who have died. Rushing to forget what happened also makes it much more likely that we will continue to repeat our deadly mistakes.

"She was also Gaza’s youngest influencer, offering practical survival tips for daily life under bombardment, such as advice on how to cook with improvised methods when there was no gas. 'I try to bring a bit of joy to the other children so that they can forget the war. '”

Can you tell which one is Ukraine and which one is Gaza? This is what mass murder looks like.

So a lot of people worked on this that weren’t me including @mamafriend.bsky.social @ruemcclammyhand.bsky.social @alexwinter.com @link.spacelawshitpost.me @hebagowayed.bsky.social and a lot of other people- not to mention the hundreds of people in Gaza who entrusted me with their stories ❤️

In my worst nightmares the teenagers at DOGE take over the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and, yup, here we are.

There’s the weaponization of open science y’all. Basically ripped from @cos.io’s website. The ROI for leaders speaking up is the highest it will be now, and only decline over time as these policies take shape and grow teeth.

not that I expect much from the National Post, but it's infuriating to see widespread misinfo about park closures in BC. they are not "race-based" closures. access is temporarily limited to the rights-holding First Nations, not to all Indigenous people. this is just rage-baiting for racists.

Whatever impostor syndrome you may have once had, dispose of it fucking immediately. If these people run the country, you deserve that promotion, you can run for city council, you can start that business. If this is the baseline, shit, you can do surgery drunk in an alley and you will do less harm.

I know some of you may do this anyway, but I nonetheless urge you NOT to send items like these to the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, 601 D St. NW, Washington, DC 20530. Please do NOT do that. Thank you.

ICE dragged a mother from her home in Massachusetts—clinging to her baby—without showing a warrant or ID. When neighbors demanded proof, ICE sneered, “We don’t have to show you anything.” That’s not law enforcement. That’s state-sponsored kidnapping. This is fascism & it’s terrifying.

Something I hope everyone covers this tomorrow notes is that...the President has no authority whatsoever to make trade deals without congress. None. Not even the pretext of one.

Wow, wow, wow Declassified National Intelligence Council, Sense of the Community Memorandum: "The Maduro regime probably does not have a policy of cooperating with TDA and is not directing TDA movement to and operations in the United States." Now consider: DOJ lawyers saying opposite to courts!
