Daniel's permissioned data proposal just dropped!! This will be a major upgrade for atproto that enables private groups & communities. Really hope this technical design resonates with people so we can keep moving fast, but please do get your comments in

Bluesky launched in February 2023 as an invite-only platform. As of June 2026, we have 45 million users. For reference, that's almost the population of Argentina. Thank you for being here with us 💙 Here’s to the next 45 million accounts.

A district that went +20 for Trump now in play for Democrats

NHC has initiated advisories on Potential Tropical Cyclone One (formerly AL90) located over southern Texas. Potential Tropical Cyclone Advisories (PTC Advisories) are issued when there is high confidence that the disturbance will develop into a storm and bring significant impacts.

The Knicks only lost one game in the last two months and it was the one Trump went to lmao

I've added a long-awaited feature: microwave imagery! Now you can see the structure of tropical cyclones from the GMI, SSMIS, and AMSR2 sensors! It's all on the satellite page, in the new microwave tab. Here's how #Jangmi looks:

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.  He embodies the broken system we’re running against. It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

The Colorado Democratic Party has formally condemned and censured Governor Jared Polis for granting clemency to Tina Peters. Polis is hereby banned from speaking or being honored at party events. 90% of CDP central committee members voted to reprimand Polis.

If VA dems actually go through with this it would be one of the most hilariously based things statewide Dems have done anywhere since the infamous Evers veto in Wisconsin a few years ago

The VA Constitution gives lawmakers unlimited latitude to set judicial retirement ages. And to make any change take effect right away, Dems can attach it to the biannual budget bill, which is still in the works.

VA's current judicial retirement age is 73—an entirely arbitrary number. Resetting it to 54 would require every justice to retire, allowing for an all-new court. Of note, VA public employees can collect partial pensions from the state's retirement system starting at age 55.

We don't ordinarily publish posts at [checks watch] 8:51 PM on a Friday night, but state constitutional law expert Quinn @yeargain.bsky.social has an outside-the-box idea for reversing the VA Supreme Court that is very much worth taking seriously: Dems can simply lower the retirement age.

Nintendo Switch 2 will price increase starting September 1st: US: $449.99 -> $499.99 Canada: $629.99 -> $679.99 Europe: €469.99 -> €499.99 Japan (May 25): ¥49,980 -> ¥59,980 (multi-language system unchanged) Switch (Japan), NSO (Japan/S. Korea) & Playing Cards (Japan) also get increases

The most important reason why Democrats should refuse to capitulate to these illegal and illegitimate acts like what just took place in Virginia is because capitulation only reinforces the belief that politics is futile, which in turn increases the probability that people will turn to violence.

Ignore the VA Supreme Court and you risk a legitimacy crisis. But capitulate and you risk telling everyone that voting no longer matters and that change will only come by taking matters into your own hands. The latter is a billion times worse than the former.

The news is out! YIMBY Action is making an official endorsement in the race for CA Governor for... 🥁 @tomsteyerhq.bsky.social! His range of housing policies set him apart. Steyer has committed to eliminating single-family zoning statewide, expanding by-right approvals and upzoning around transit.

WaPo reports Louisiana’s governor will announce on Friday that he is suspending the House primaries where people have already started voting and redraw the map; I’d expect them to go for an all-Republican map and eliminate both majority-Black districts, not just one.

U.S. GAS PRICES REACH AVERAGE $4.30/GAL, HIGHEST SINCE JULY, 2022, ACCORDING TO LIVE GASBUDDY DATA

Bill Ferguson claimed one reason he opposed redrawing Maryland's congressional map is because he thought doing so might *undermine* Black representation. If he's serious, then given what SCOTUS just did, MD now *must* redraw its map.

a double spike day I don't believe in my ~20 years I've ever seen this- $4.79, then updated to $4.99. unprecedented. what's even more wild that the market has completely gone insane is that all 3 markets are the SAME- MI/IN/OH

ANYTHING but a 60 FPS update / remaster / remake I'm so tired boss

This will be one of the most competitive and expensive Senate races because campaigning is different in Alaska. It's bigger than TX, MT, and CA combined and 82% of our communities are only reachable by plane, boat, or snow machine. I need your support: secure.actblue.com/donate/soc-m...

1/ Today, we’re excited to introduce Attie, currently as an invite-only closed beta. Attie is the first agentic social app on atproto. It’s something completely new—an experiment in making building on the protocol more accessible.

Interested in hurricanes? I want to introduce TC-ATLAS: the Tropical Cyclone Analysis Tool for Live and Archived Structure. Explore live or past storms without writing a line of code or downloading a data file, building on the capabilities of TC-RADAR: michaelfischerwx.github.io/TC-ATLAS/ind...

It's time to build, Illinois.

@grahamformaine.bsky.social blamed women for sexual assault, saying they should "take some responsibility for themselves" and "act like an adult." Here's what Maine women had to say about his words.

New York Dems are reportedly still expected to push for a constitutional amendment that would let them redraw the congressional map in 2028 to counter GOP gerrymanders. Dems could target 3-4 seats currently held by GOP. Dems must pass it both in 2026 & 2027, then win voter approval in November 2027

BREAKING: The national average price of diesel has seen its largest single day price increase ever recorded- rising 22.3c/gal today, beating the previous largest daily rise of 22.2c/gal on 3/4/22, according to GasBuddy data. The average for diesel is up 71.4c/gal vs a week ago.

According to President Zelenskyy, countries in the Middle East fired about 800 patriot missiles in just three days — more than Ukraine has had during the entire war.

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

No one has been righter on the political impact of Trump’s immigration terror campaign than Elliott. When know-it-all pundits were demanding Dems shut up about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, he pushed back with hard data and has been utterly vindicated every day since. Dems need to listen to Elliott.

CRASHOUT FOR THE AGES

That is what was relayed

Wow — New YouGov / Economist poll: 46% support abolishing ICE 43% oppose abolishing ICE This is the first time that abolishing ICE has received net positive support

JPOW literally said

Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.

The woman killed by ICE was Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old who was the mother of a 4-year old child whose father already died a few years ago. The Star Tribune talked to her mother. www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

AOC: What we saw today was a horrific act of violence. What we have seen and are now seeing is that ICE has not just become an anti-immigrant force—it is becoming an anti-civilian, paramilitary organization. People are being taken off the streets for exercising their free speech rights.

ICE OUT NOW

NEW: Second video shows ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A woman, a U.S. citizen, was killed
