Just a reminder that patriotism isn't holding a bible and wrapping yourself in the flag while you violate the Constitution and plunder the country. Happy 4th of July, stay cool and safe!!

We uncovered how he hijacked America 250 – watch to see how. youtu.be/-ydXJ3HhXy0?...

McMaster made this statement in '23, but it bears reposting. BTW, at the time, a McMaster spokesman shot back that “If South Carolina Democrat partisans can no longer bear light-hearted jokes made at their expense, then maybe they should focus their energy on winning and not whining,”

Idk I don’t think any of us should celebrate that Supreme Court was one vote away from taking away a constitutional right…

Justice Jackson: "Justice Thomas's telling elides the entire point of the Second Founding: The Reconstruction Amendments were an anticaste, antisubordination reset for the Nation, not a mere spot treatment for the dark stain of slavery."

Started going through family photos I'd never seen, including COLOR slides. Came upon this charming little beach bum, ca. 1961. All our photo albums from before the 70s were B&W, so it's kind of weird to see us in living color. Brothers in the background. Mildew damage creates the alien spots.

As with some other things, i suspect if we have another dem president we will discover that the court did not so much transfer power to the executive as to themselves, ie they will find novel bullshit reasons to block a dem president the same way the find novel bullshit reasons to enable trump

god this is perfect for how to deal with administrators at universities

This ain't sophisticated jargon-filled mealy-mouthed poli-sci, but it's a pithier, clearer, and memorable statement of our political culture than I've seen in ages.

And make no mistake, when the Klan was ranting about unassimilable immigrants in the 1920s, they were very much talking about Italians whom they attacked as Catholic pawns of the pope, as a "criminal race" whose members were all tied to the mafia, and as a non-white threat to white women.

From the mountains, to the prairies, to the reflecting pool, green with scum. . .

Two pages. The same story. SNAP cuts: American children are losing food assistance and going hungry. USAID gutted: Children overseas are dying after humanitarian aid was cut. History won’t remember the excuses. It’ll remember who let children suffer. #RepublicansStarveChildren

iran has closed the reflecting pool.

Yup.

If people think the midterms or the next presidential election are going to redeem us, they have another thing coming.

I'm just saying, my husband could have done a better job on this reflecting pool reno with a toolbox, three trips to Home Depot, and a couple of YouTube tutorials.

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

NOOOOO! Don't give me hope that there may be a chance at pushing back against ALL THIS!

Trump Administration Backs Off Plan to End Ocean Monitoring The reversal comes after the Senate passed a bipartisan bill on Wednesday to block the removal of deep-sea monitoring instruments. By @maxinejoselow.bsky.social

Say hello to my great spangled fritillary!

On this day in 1980, Golf legend, Jack Nicklaus wins his 4th US Open and 17th majors title.

There isn't enough focus on the people who could stop this shit.

I'm learning, slowly, but still fall for it more than I'd like to admit.

I’ve never used this Onion headline before — but until today, I’ve never had such a compelling reason to do so

Tonight I learned that someone whose opinion on specific aspects of my rickets history book I was really worried about read the book and liked it. Whew!

Outraged? Youbetcha!! Reposting? Of course you are and you probably should. But in doing so (as I am right now) you're doing the devil's work. The entire purpose of half of this theater is to collect liberal tears.

🚨BREAKING: DONALD TRUMP HAS FALLEN ASLEEP AT HIS 80TH BIRTHDAY UFC FREEDOM 250 EVENT.

Republicans: we know he fucked kids but we don't want to hear about it cuz we hate [fave racial slur here] more than pedos

Yes this! But only if it’s made clear how much of MAGA politics is driven by the imperative to pwn the libs and collect their tears.

A drunk South Philly guy would've shimmied up there and crowbarred it off in like 10 minutes

How did we get here? "That's some window, that Overton Window. It's the best there is."

I mean, look at this pathetic shit. Jesus Christ, have some self-respect.

the cars don't drive themselves and we're still nowhere near Mars, but you can't question Elon Musk's ability to deliver screwworms and racial violence

In my forthcoming book, the introduction is called "Pioneers of Medicine," and the epilogue is called, Pioneers of Medicine, Revisited." The pioneer rhetoric in the West, I argue, is very important to deconstruct.

Thanks, @historydeptbc.bsky.social ! Couldn’t have done it without y’all!

Happy to see my ol' school buddy from USF and Brandeis, Jack Davis, celebrating the Everglades!

After the conference my sweetie and me went to Niagara Falls and Lockport.

literally every technology i use in my day to day is worse than it was 10 years ago
