Join us for Pub Night this Wednesday! Brygg at 19:00.

How far does loyalty take you? It's the defining political challenge for people living abroad. #BooksAbroad #HomeFire #GlobalWomensCaucus #DemocratsAbroad

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills: the emails from Landon Thomas has his New York Times signature block...he was employed by NY Times at the time. He was communicating directly with Epstein about Trump, and was given incriminating information about Trump. It's been in NYT's possession since 2015

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Landon Thomas Jr of the New York Times got told by Jeffrey Epstein that Trump walked into a glass door bc he was so busy staring at girls in Epstein's house and didn't print it. wild that the Times didn't consider that newsworthy.

Once a year, I think it is, the Eugene (Oregon) Emeralds play as the Exploding Whales, which is both a nice nod to funny local history and a naked gimmick to sell merch - which obviously worked on me, I couldn't buy this thing fast enough

With alt text.

me and the squad flexing our dope new petards

If I lived in the US I would’ve already bought this.

Just now: The plaintiffs who were arguing that Utah GOP's congressional map is illegal won in court. The judge orders one of the two maps submitted by the plaintiffs ('map 1') be used. The ruling, if it stands, guarantees that Democrats will pick up a congressional seat in Utah next year.

JUST IN: Katie Wilson is now ahead of Mayor Bruce Harrell in the Seattle mayoral race. Stay tuned for details on today's count.

fellas is it normal for a funding bill to waive the sovereign immunity of the united states government in the context of when senators are targets of federal investigation

Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to "help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

Any followers vote in Seattle? Please check and cure your ballot! @demsabroad.bsky.social

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

Democrats in office need to know: all of us with very few exceptions want all of you with very few exception to lose your god damn jobs because you refuse to do them.

We're already above 1,600 flights cancelled today, according to FlightAware, and we're still days away from a final vote a reopen the government. It sure seems like the flight situation will get worse before it gets better.

GOOD

Ghislane Maxwell is a person that should never be free again... this account of Epstein and Maxwell victims is truly awful www.wbur.org/onpoint/2025...

Fed up with your elected representatives? Give them a call now!

Call your reps and demand that they change their vote - this ain't over yet! @kaine.senate.gov @rosen.senate.gov @hassan.senate.gov @shaheen.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov @cortezmasto.senate.gov and Angus King.

I find it fascinating that although whales are the largest animals on the planet there's a ton of species we just don't know much about. There are 24 species of beaked whales and some have only been discovered in the last few decades.

Reading Omar El Akkad’s “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This” and thinking about ICE assaults.

Excellent information here! Remember to call your Republican reps and tell them to get their sorry asses back to work.

Data *was* siloed in the federal government for many, many good reasons.

Phew. This is the best thing I’ve read this week and is absolutely worth your time.

"CBP have been forced to later release many people they have taken in, finding out they are US citizens or have legal protection from deportation. Noem said recently no citizens had been arrested, but at least one citizen has sued the admin for arresting him twice..." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Listen to our chair @ericagibson.bsky.social and vice-chair David Morse chat with Rachel and David on #BlueVoteCafe podcast about what they’re up to right now - like their radio show US Politics, In Plain English!

Hey, I know her!

Honestly one of the worst, most disturbing paragraphs — on the basis of process, substance, and effect — I’ve read in a Supreme Court order or opinion in a very long time.

This is some of the worst legal writing I've ever read from a federal appellate court. "Biological pronouns" is, in my view, grounds for impeachment and removal of Judge Murphy.

The blue wave isn’t finished yet!

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Please do! Details about the fellowship and the link to apply can be found here: thenarwhal.ca/2026-indigen...

Guy: How many puppies does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Do you know yet? Me (in a sea of puppies): No, they haven't done it. Bring more

They can’t do this if they don’t have users! Now’s the time to delete your accounts if you haven’t already.

Yes and yet several European countries are embracing a far-right worldview that would burn these policies to the ground, so let’s be not be smug or complacent here - particularly as Mamdani‘s pro-immigration stance is radical by European standards.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

What a day to be Democrats! Members and friends of DAN gathered for pub night at Brygg. We had a great turnout and had to add chairs as more people arrived. We basked in the glow of the blue wave that swept the U.S. on Election Day, and talked about the many victories. We’re ready to keep fighting!

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

NEW: Mississippi Democrats broke the Republican Party's supermajority in the state Senate tonight for the first time since 2011. It came as Democrats flipped 2 Senate seats and 1 House seat. “Mississippi just broke the supermajority—and the people have taken back their power,” the party says.

Fantastic news for Mississippians!

Reminder to DAN members in Oslo - it's pub night at Brygg! Come by at 7pm for a celebratory pint.

I'm available all day for comments to the Norwegian press!

“I hope every woman who has ever faced an abuser like Cuomo knows she doesn’t have to be ashamed, she doesn’t have to hide. Because we will beat these monsters. New Yorkers said “no more” to Andrew Cuomo, and that is just remarkable.” indypendent.org/2025/07/we-w...
