YES i recently did an essay on rainbow capitalism that also came to the same conclusion, based on the way the economy has tanked but companies standing by their DEI programs, and not bowing to the administration, are making more profit than ever www.tillystranstuesdays.com/2026/06/30/r...

Checked PACER in the Southern District of Florida and the Southern District of California, and I didn’t see any unsealed arrests warrants in either of their names for the past month. AP reports the arrest warrant is still under seal, which makes sense. We may not know the charges until Monday.

Republicans put ALL Americans at risk. Don't forget that while trump and his cabinet and their families have Secret Service protection.

Ditch it.

Y'all!!! Ralph Norman is not the what SC needs! @drannieandrews.com Donate here to send a real leader to the US Senate. secure.actblue.com/donate/loc_w...

The Right doesn't control culture (never has.) This is yet more proof that there are more of us. They hold power now bc of the obscene $ poured into a post-Citizens United world + the racism baked into these systems' foundations (electoral college etc) but there are still more of us + we can win.

OSSOFF on Trump Address: At a moment when his war spirals out of control, instead of focusing on the nation's needs, as always, he nurses his grievances and he forces the rest of us to help him process his shame.

Robert, fear and misdirection again? VA-01 has a low crime rate. You had no part in these bills. So, if safety is a non-partisan issue, why send out this message from your new House email with the red Commonwealth map? Scare tactics and credit-hogging are your calling cards. Anything left?

Wind energy is a highly effective, emissions-free renewable resource. During operation, turbines do not produce greenhouse gases, smog, or particulate pollution. Let’s compare

Also don't sleep on the fact that yesterday RFK Jr said “there are cyclospora outbreaks every summer,” as though case counts aren't up like 500%

NEW: Taylor Farms recalled iceberg lettuce sent to 27 states with possible cyclospora contamination. But they didn't even name the products, making it VERY tricky to recall them. And at least two hard-hit states aren't on this list. TL;DR: prepare for more www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Seems more like climate stress induced increase in human-bee contact due to limited resources rather than an actual increase in bee population numbers and health. :-(

If they can't tell us truth about McConnell then for damn sure they're not telling us how many soldiers actually died.

“Why has the climate changed since when I was a kid? And don’t tell me it’s climate change.” -actual internet posts

If you're 60, 69% of the job growth in your lifetime came under Democratic presidents. If you're 45: 75%. If you're under 28: 100%. Not a typo. The Republican column since 1998 nets out below zero. (Source: BLS)

The New Mexico attorney general’s office urged one school district to “acknowledge the facts” after a report found Indigenous and Hispanic students often receive harsher discipline than their white classmates for similar infractions.

The "second chances" people also never seem to care about the many women who lost opportunities or quit their careers entirely because of these assholes, either.

Germany here. Sad Germany. Mr. Merz loves the Heritage Foundation and Trump and fossil fuels. :(

Virtually every country in the world *except* for the US is responding to the Iran War in a rational way -- ie, trying to reduce their reliance in imported fossil fuels.

I kept getting mad that he kept saying he’s mad at himself for knowing this stuff. Own it, dude. Women appreciate a guy who can make a run to the store for us once in a while.

In 2016, San Antonio cop Matthew Luckhurst was fired after giving a homeless man a sandwich filled with feces. Last month, he became police chief in Benavides, Texas.

One of the cops who handed a naked, bleeding 14-year-old boy back to serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer was fired, reinstated, and then later served as president of the Milwaukee police union because cops love to protect and promote the absolute worst people in their profession

This is tomorrow! Just like in the odyssey my team has scandalously chosen to cast black women in it!

Google ‘Indian Boarding Schools’ and miss me with that “this is not who we are, America!” bullshit thehill.com/policy/inter...

Trump’s DOJ has gone 0-15 when it comes to cases trying to get state voter roles. Why? Because elections are run by states not the federal government. And with Trump in office and his election voter fraud lies,it should stay that way. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/A2HWII_KfSNO...

There are good uses for AI and there's this dystopian bullshit...

It has happened in my part of VA as well (for sure 2023), and I’m highly suspicious it happened with Mark Warner’s seat this year.

Irony: it’s the #VA-01 grassroots groups covering the primary who have been staying the most neutral while making it SUPER easy to learn about the candidates. Voters, it’s time to flex your power! Start here: www.wittmanwatch.com/p/your-guide... www.wittmanwatch.com/p/va01-candi...

Voters have the power to counteract the “thumb on the scale” by learning about all the candidates in a primary and making their choice based on what *they* need in a rep so long as *overwhelming numbers of them* engage in this part of the democratic process. virginiamercury.com/2026/07/15/f...

Great afternoon with Senator Warner and Congressman Vindman! Thanks to Fulton Moto for hosting. Thank you Culpeper for taking your Saturday to support your elected officials. As Vindman said today -make the election turnout “too big to rig.” 108 days. Let’s go. 👏

Pete Hegseth: "We need our warriors to embrace the Spartan mindset" U.S. Military: *suffers crushing defeat to the Persians*

Every equation to winning on a large scale means you have to work with people that may not fully agree with you. They don't seem to understand even in their Utopia idea of multiple parties, they're still going to have to form coalitions with people that don't fully agree with them.

You cannot exclude a community abd suppress their voice and say that you are progressive. That's ridiculous. Being heard and not being agreed with is different than just being totally ignored. If you aren't galvanizing and organizing in communities that aren't favorable to you, you aren't running

This seems abnormal. Definitely not okay.

TACO BELL HAS BEEN DOING THE RIGHT THING

This is the point in Sim City where you’re like well I’m fucked

This is accurate.

New: Late last night, Taylor Farms quietly posted an official recall notice We now know that the parasite-linked iceberg lettuce was shipped to Walmart & food distributors in 27 (!) states It was for some reason still being sent out up until Thursday July 16 www.consumerreports.org/health/food-...

Unhealthy air, life-threatening heat, destructive floods--all in the forecast for Washington, DC today. Yet the White House continues to ignore the alerts, cancel clean energy projects, censor climate science, and blame anyone except those truly responsible, like the oil, gas, and coal industry.

Rhodes whining like his podbro friends don’t make an entire living off pretending they were far more important to Obama’s successes. Ya know, aside from Stevens using the exact quotes & accomplishments in past races to zero negative pushback. The frothing anger re this is laughably telling.

Jonathan Swan says that when President Trump returned to office, he pressured the intelligence community to produce some kind of evidence proving that the 2020 election was stolen, and that Trump’s Thursday night address was the best they could do.

A public school basketball coach made students fill out a Christian journal... and punished them with extra laps if they didn't. He only stopped after an atheist group stepped in. This is what religious coercion looks like. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/california...

the ideas are not linked to root causes. How do you talk about Citizen United or Gerrymandering without addressing THE SUPREME COURT???? Again, this is why I say that the "ideas" people are short on actual ideas and imagination.
