Air Pollution From Industrial Facilities Is Far Worse Than Estimated. Trump Halted Efforts to Fix It. www.propublica.org/article/epa-... @lisalsong.bsky.social reveals how big polluters are allowed to estimate their emissions using methods even the EPA conceded are often unreliable.

For decades, some big polluters were allowed to estimate their emissions using methods the government knew were often unreliable. The EPA was taking more steps to fix that under Biden. Guess what happened next. New from @lisalsong.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/epa-...

Zohran Mamdani is attempting to build a more positive relationship with the NYPD. But his previous remarks that they are racist, anti-queer, and a threat to public safety remain as true as ever. www.leftvoice.org/cops-are-not...

The Speaker of Israel’s Parliament declared the Doha airstrike a “message for the entire Middle East,” posting footage to emphasize a major escalation in Israel’s regional aggression amid broad international condemnation.

UPDATE — *Another* boat on the Sumud Flotilla has been hit in a suspected drone attack, according to organizers. Comes after one of its boats, the Family, was attacked yesterday in Tunisian waters. The flotilla is seeking to break the Israeli siege of Gaza and aid Palestinians.

The UN has declared famine in Gaza. It is the first officially recognized famine in the history of the Middle East. A human-made crime, not a natural tragedy. Israel is deliberately starving Gaza before the eyes of the world. This isn’t war. It’s calculated extermination. #GazaGenocide

NEW: Leaders of a small Arizona city ramped up affordable housing & services like soup kitchens for homeless people. In response, a former mayor got angry & tried to recall them. But they survived the recalls this month. Bolts reports on what's happening—& the warring responses to homelessness:

“Stringer noted that real police officers do not wear ski masks.” I think I see a problem…

I wrote about how Trump's threat to end mail-in voting is just his latest attack on disabled people, some of whom find voting by mail to be much more accessible, at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The Trump administration's decision to abandon lawsuits challenging civil rights violations in carceral facilities leaves incarcerated people vulnerable to more abuse. The Department of Justice has a responsibility to defend the rights of incarcerated people.

Severe COVID-19 induces long-lasting epigenetic reprogramming in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) and monocytes. These changes persist for up to a year and include altered chromatin accessibility and transcriptional programs. www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

It's pretty clear by now that the mass shooting in Manhattan a week ago today was not some random act. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/nfl-shooti...

Let's be clear about what's happening: the Republican Party is trying to rig the mid-term elections, so voters can't decide who we want in power. Texas Governor Greg Abbott is threatening to arrest every opposition party state legislator. They're trying to make the US a one party dictatorship.

Everything he said is wrong. The NIH is a boon to states economically. It did not, in any respect, cause the pandemic. This is lab leak bullshit. And the final claim is just an open admission they’re imposing rightist ideology on science. It’s a war on science this administration is waging.

Poll after poll shows broad agreement on issues like taxation of the rich, healthcare, and even COVID mitigation (when that was still a thing our government did). Yet the opinion sections at the WSJ, NYT, WaPo, etc. overrepresent minority perspectives of powerful interests. It’s just propaganda.

Shit, we can't get MEDICAL PERSONNEL to mask AT MEDICAL FACILITIES, nor THE PATIENTS. Clinics and hospitals at the minimum should be mask-required (also measles), but noooOOOooo.

I knew we were cooked as a society when everyone just sorta decided they were sick of dealing with Covid and everyone just decided to pretend like it wasn't a thing anymore.

it’s absurd that NYT forced him to delete these skeets, which … convey the factual information that Zohran Mamdani is, in fact, a man of South Asian descent who was born and raised in Africa, and that the pseudonymous source of the hacked material is a white supremacist eugenicist.

for the past few years every time i publish an article i get a ton of harassment from the far-right that attempts to discredit my reporting and attack the outlet that published me. every time except this time, that is. it’s been crickets from them, in fact.

NEW: Several members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices have been spreading anti-vaccine content on X in the days after the panel’s meeting. Last month, Kennedy fired all 17 ACIP members and replaced them with 7 of his allies. www.importantcontext.news/p/cdc-vaccin...

'here’s the thing: the Supreme Court’s sudden concern about nationwide injunctions rings hollow when you look at the actual data.' - @mmasnick.bsky.social calling BS, after noting 'MAGA/GOP world was more than happy to use such nationwide injunctions against Biden' www.techdirt.com/2025/06/30/t...

Massive amounts of money get wasted in politics and many people don't even know what happens to their money after donating. So here's how I've spent my campaign's resources over the last three months:

Trump's approval rating is the lowest it has ever been this term, as Americans disapprove of his airstrikes on Iran, his approach to immigration, tariffs and the flop that was his military birthday parade.

Missouri adopted a law that ends St. Louis’ ability to run its own police, transferring control to the GOP-run state government. The law also requires St. Louis to commit 25% of its budget to policing. boltsmag.org/missour...

Measles might not kill a ton of people but the measles vaccine has literally never killed anyone when administered properly. What a joke our FDA director is.

🚨BREAKING: Trump announces U.S. forces have carried out a full-scale bombing of three Iranian nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. “All planes are safely on their way home,” he wrote, claiming a “full payload of BOMBS” was dropped on the primary target—Fordow.

More police rioting: Police charge and overrun a barricade that is not even being held by anyone, randomly shooting rounds into protestors as fireworks are shot into the area. Video is at 2x speed, so it's not quite this fast.

“It’s taking off pretty quickly,” said Professor Catherine Bennett, warning that “if you’re exposed, you’re more likely to catch it.” She added, “We might be in for a bigger winter wave,” and COVID deaths were 5x higher than flu—"So COVID-19 is still to be taken seriously"

Meta faces Democratic probe into plans to power a giant data center with gas

This one is largely on Democrats. They could easily make Stephen Miller the face of the administration — emphasizing how out of control Trump is and how far right the actual policies are, prompting the media to follow their lead — but they’re largely giving him a pass. It’s bizarre.
