Volunteering at the food bank this morning and we had to discard 4 cases of Taylor Farms salad bowls that were donated by a local grocery chain a couple of days ago. They gave us recalled food knowing it was contaminated, and wrote it off as a donation. 🤬

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

An under-the-radar part of the Paramount/Warner Bros merger is that the merged company would be 49.5% owned by the sovereign wealth funds of Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, and Qatar. Somehow this hasn't raised the ire of those who most fear Sharia law. prospect.org/2026/07/21/a...

Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.

cool

just remember this anytime you see a weird right wing take on culture these people are just shadow boxing and they know it

happy 10th birthday to this perfect post

it's just so fucking weird how many "defenders of the west" have never even cracked the spine of a single book in the Canon

that Atlantic article is a psyop to keep you from living your best life

I've been joking with journalist friends that I went to a rural diner in Trump country and all I found were secret Democrats and a non-voter. It's true! How Schuylkill County, PA, rose up against an ICE warehouse—and decades of being treated as a "dumping ground" www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Last July, the Trump administration quietly scaled back the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network, also known as FoodNet, shrinking the required surveillance to just two pathogens. One of the pathogens they made optional for states to report: the parasite Cyclospora. (Published Nov. 2025)

In February, USA Rugby banned trans women from all levels of one of the world’s most inclusive sports. What happened next was telling. Across the country, teams refused to comply. The story of the Baltimore Ferals, who are pushing back: www.thebanner.com/sports/rugby...

Getting through airport security—a non-optional process if you are flying—is about to be subject to the profit motive. The goal will now be double-digit growth of revenues.

Nothing says “I should be taxed more“ more than using $82 million to argue that you should not, in fact, be taxed more.

Haley Stevens flew a banner over Abdul El-Sayed's Grand Rapids rally. The banner said El-Sayed should "release his PDF." The Stevens campaign edited to images to say "PFD" (personal financial disclosure), posted it online, and got caught. Millions from AIPAC and she can't afford spell check!

RAPIDAN: We “no longer assume a near-term return to freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. Instead, we expect ongoing military risks to constrain vessel transits .. well into next year ..” 👀

I took a hard look at the financial donors to ICE’s biggest supporters in Congress. These are people who want to significantly expand ICE’s power and have sponsored or co-sponsored legislation to do so. Here are the top 25 consumer brands bankrolling the biggest ICE supporters in Congress:

The death count in Trump's death camps is up again.

alcoholic trying to get sober after a relapse tells Google's "Health Coach" about it. it tells them to drink every hour and messages them to make sure they're drinking as soon as they wake up.

Not only should this be illegal but if you have ever put down a deposit a vehicle like this you should lose your drivers license, right to vote, and right to bear arms, and be ineligible to take out bank loans or credit cards.

I am very, very happy that @todseelie.bsky.social has finally written about his most-stolen, most-memed photo ever: flaminghydra.com/secrets-of-a...

Mamdani's critics in one screenshot, lol

“Two courses for the fall of 2026 were canceled outright, while several more had to alter their syllabi to comply. Professors teaching those courses told The Chronicle they weren’t provided with any rationale for why their “exception requests” were partially or fully denied.”

REMINDER: You should still be a gadfly for your lawmakers about KOSA & other Bad Internet Bills that threaten to supercharge digital censorship & surveillance and give MORE power to fascists to control information & our ability to organize online. 🔥Keep the pressure on! www.badinternetbills.com

Marco Rubio just posted this report on the US State Dept website. The Trump Admin is trying to blame Cuba for creating, and actively pushing, the ideological architecture of the modern American left (Black liberation and anti-imperialism, Antifa, anti-ICE groups and pro-Palestinian activism).

Many thanks to the Toronto Star for inadvertently showing us why we should all use the Oxford Comma. Apparently Sylvia had some, let's say, complicated hobbies:

A Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputy wrote transphobic comments in police stop reports. A review of the department's 2024 RIPA (Racial and Identity Profiling Act) data found 60 comments in reason for contact section saying cisgender doesn’t exist.

New in @jacobinmag.bsky.social: The Mamdani administration is launching an initiative to help build tenant unions.

trump has also debanked Italian citizen Francesca Alabanese for her work at the UN to condemn Israel’s genocide of Palestinians. she is on an international blacklist created for terrorists and it is also illegal for anyone to bank for her — she must live entirely economically isolated and on cash

Also while I'm on my fire season kick, put Watch Duty on your phone. It now has nationwide coverage for fires and flooding. Consider a paid membership so you can watch the aircraft fly around, which is fascinating.

it’s clearly a photo op meant to convey a sense of normalcy but the cover up is just fueling the speculation

As part of President Trump’s continued push to discredit the results of the 2020 election, his administration has considered using AI technology to scrutinize tens of thousands of ballots seized in Fulton County, Georgia, ProPublica has learned.

"We cannot depend on the government, because we see which way that’s going. When we say ‘all power in the people,’ there is power in the people.” 'Crushing Wheelchairs' provides an unflinching look into policy violence and gentrification in the Bay Area. knock-la.com/crushing-whe...

Despite widespread support from California lawmakers, a bill limiting solitary confinement was blocked by Governor Gavin Newsom. Instead, Newsom directed prison officials to implement reforms, but those reforms are now being dialed back.

The Odyssey (dir. Christopher Nolan)

Trump has ordered US CENTCOM to open "the gates of hell" upon Iran after US casualties in Jordan, US officials tell NPR. Another US official tells CBS News tonight's US attacks will be much more extensive and larger than previous nights.

it is really fucking insane how quickly young men have gotten completely hooked by every new scam and fraud

FoxNews called me a freakshow for wearing an N95 and "declaring" that evictions are violent. Good times! We are changing the narrative to uplift the tempest tost. 🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽 #HousinglsAHumanRight
