Amid rising bills, more Marylanders had utilities shut off last year than in 2024

Having to have a job is giving me a headache tbh

Now he polluting the fucking SOLAR SYSTEM?!??!?

Never let anyone tell you that your voice doesn't matter. @alt-text.bsky.social

Elon Musk's xAI has installed more than double the number of gas turbines than it has publicly acknowledged to power its Colossus 2 data center project, without federal permits, and the pollution is hitting predominantly Black neighborhoods the hardest reut.rs/4bIghEm

Right-wing media outlet the Daily Wire is reporting that in the aftermath of two shootings in a week, ICE has issued orders to its agents to halt all vehicle stops. /the Daily Wire's problem with this is that it would mean lower arrest numbers, which, tough. www.dailywire.com/news/exclusi...

Thousands of Americans are getting sick from a foodborne parasite, and federal regulators have still not publicly identified the source. So what's been happening in the federal government over the past year that might be a factor in this outbreak? 🧵⬇️

Mainers are not happy with Collins. Demonstrators in Biddeford protesting ICE’s killing of a Colombian workman this morning swarmed her office

"Now, a new report lays bare the scale of the use of these crowd control weapons during anti-immigration demonstrations across the US, including hundreds of incidents that resulted in lasting and traumatic injuries." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

A protest group called The Secret Handshake placed a giant gold “Iran war participation trophy” for President Trump on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

*one of these was National Guard, not a fed. Apologies for losing track of all the categories of unaccountable men in uniform executing people.

I have said many times, TERFism is largely an attempt to protect and enshrine in law the ways in which cis women have traditionally been allowed access to the power to abuse and prey on their perceived inferiors. Children, queers, the disabled, etc.

What

Data centers have been allowed to eminent domain American homes.

U.S. Sen. Tim Sheehy, who previously ran a company that provides aircraft for fighting wildfires, has proposed ending Forest Service inspections of those aircraft. One of the company’s aircraft failed an inspection because of a crack in its wing. (Published June)

most murders are committed by someone the victim knows - a partner, neighbor etc. but in cases where there is no relationship between murderer & victim? the killer is a cop about a third of the time. if you are killed by a stranger, there is a 1 in 3 chance that stranger is a cop.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

With two people dead in Memphis in four days and one the same week in Houston, that's four people federal agents have shot and killed over just nine days. July 5: Tyrin Johnson July 7: Lorenzo Salgado Araujo July 8: Alfonso Ivy July 13: name not released yet

No hell too hot. www.sunjournal.com/2026/07/13/i...

ABOLISHING ICE IS NOT ENOUGH. Today ICE killed Joan Sebastian Guerrero in Maine. He was 26. He was a husband and father. His daughter and wife were with him. He was not the person ICE was looking for. And yet again, ICE is trying to lie about what happened. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Once again it would have been good for everyone to have grown up learning comprehensive and detailed mafia history in schools

The concept of what a "senator" is has changed quite a bit in the 21st century. Sometimes a senator doesn't have to be a man who is alive. A senator can be 10 dads. Just 10 dads, with no kids. Or let's say you're dead and have a sister. That's a senator.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a new antibiotic, known as manikomycin, that may be a bulwark in the fight against drug-resistant superbugs. By attacking the ribosome in a never-before-seen way, manikomycin can EVADE the existing mechanisms pathogens have developed to resist antibiotics.

Step right up and see the international human rights organisation that will only speak up so long as the people dismantling human rights don't have any objections!

this is where your money goes when you buy harry potter stuff. rowling isn’t shy about it. amnesty wrote an even-handed report that laid out what anti-rights groups do; rowling uses her billions & clout to suppress it. when you give rowling money; she spends it on stealing people’s human rights.

i assume carhartt is stealth-funding all these campaigns where guys need to prove their constructed stereotypical masculine bona fides instead of being an authentic human being with a personality. this is mark zuckerberg behavior and normal people like it just as much as when he does it

Remember how it was revealed that Maryland Governor Wes Moore is in Peter Thiel's murder club And he said "no I'm not" and all the local reporters just... bought it

Graphic design è la mia passione ayyyyy

republicans are busy rediscovering the germ theory of disease, while nyc is basically rediscovering the idea of Community

Wow. CNN won't vouch for Jennings claiming he spoke to McConnell for 20 minutes. "As a CNN Political Commentator, Scott Jennings is not a full-time employee or journalist for the network..His account of a personal conversation with Sen McConnell reflects his experience and is not CNN reporting."

Mamdani wants to make it easier for consumers to cancel gym memberships and magazine subscriptions…so, just like Trump’s authoritarian overreach.

Every single senator has killed more people than any random guy from your city doing 25 to life, they just get to do it in a way we have all agreed makes it not real for some reason. We're governed by serial killers!! www.welcometohellworld.com/the-rube-gol...

I too have had colleagues who were sociopaths and I PROMISE I won’t be a hypocrite when I hear they’ve croaked; I plan to celebrate them like I’m celebrating Lindsey.

the fact that our elites cannot, ever, just call a thing what it is will be the death of this society. he was a vicious, antisocial scumbag. his crimes are literally legion. if the opposition can't vocalize that what good are they? and werent they trying to jail this loser? grow a pair

Okay, at this point I'm starting to think there's some teleporting vigilante just working their way through a list.

You could get mad about dead senator discourse *or* you could enjoy this video of sea lions who have retaken an island with a decommissioned lighthouse off the coast of Oregon and now use the staircase as a giant slide.

My longstanding policy preference has been to torture zero souls, for zero days. My colleague Satan preferred to torture all souls, for eternity. I appreciated his willingness to negotiate, which led to the historic Torture One Million Souls act of 2014 and the Torture A Bunch More Souls act of 2018

Deeply saddened to learn of the loss of my dear friend Satan, the Prince of Lies. Though we often disagreed about matters such as the appropriate role of torture in the afterlife, I will most remember how his quick wit and affable nature made our weekly golf outings a ritual. He will be missed.

counterpoint: the dead should make it harder for me to speak ill of them

Lindsey Graham was one of the worst. Decisions he made, the policies he supported, the rhetoric he spewed helped degrade American democracy and hurt regular people. Graham dedicated his life to serving the rich and powerful and preserving social hierarchies.

Man nothing I can say about Graham could be meaner than than the praise heaped on him by this monster

“Advance national security interests” certainly is four words in a row

How about when he threw an angry tantrum in defense of a SCOTUS nominee credibly accused of rape? Did you all have a good collegial chuckle over that?

Netanyahu tells Fox Lindsey Graham would fight to give more bombs and money to Israel than they even needed

He not only championed but demanded and commissioned the murders of millions of people but he was always willing to engage in a performative philosophical circle jerk in a DC steakhouse full of fucking ghouls about it, what a mensch.

i will say lindsey graham being asked by a reporter how mitch mcconnell is doing, answering “i don’t know, i’m going to check right now” and then dying is hilarious

Can't wait to find out which highly volatile, obviously insane suburban alcoholic will succeed Principled Statesman Lindsey Graham in tge Senate and cast exactly the same votes.
