Coming out of hibernation to share a new podcast episode! "Centering What it's Really About" - an interview with Dr. Della Mosley about holistic wellness in STEM and the ebbs and flows of culture change work sustainablenano.simplecast.com/episodes/ep-...

Vile: Mike Johnson just said GOP might try to undo birthright citizenship with legislation, which is unconstitutional. I've noticed a pattern: He and Vance are using sleazy new language to sell this as a trivial reform. The threat is very much alive. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2127...

Trump is using the government’s power to take ownership in private companies. It’s what Putin did. Trump is the closest we’ve ever come to communism.

There's a part in the book "Careless People" where the author beats Zuck at Settlers of Catan, and he is absolutely wrecked by it. Someone pulls her aside to explain everyone else has been letting him win for years. I think about this a lot re: why tech bros think everyone will love AI chatbots.

This alone should be a decade-defining political scandal resulting in prison sentences.

Happy "tRUMP Must Pay E. Jean Carroll $5.8 Million Dollars" Tuesday to all those who celebrate justice! 💰 👍 #Sexual-Assaulter-In-Chief

Looking at the week ahead, Elias Law Group is litigating 80 voting and election cases in 40 states (plus DC). This is a lot of work for a small firm of 60+ lawyers. When we fight we can win!⚖️🗳️💪

There's a perverse symbolism in the legacy of White racism sheltering under the bowers of all African Americans have done for this country while patiently waiting for the chance to go back to insisting we are a drain upon their society and that they never needed us at all.

I'm old enough to remember when prominent evangelical leaders in this country claimed hurricanes are God's punishment for homosexuality, and Republican lawmakers declined to condemn those claims. I wonder what the National Mall being struck with a thunderstorm tonight means in their view.

We used to call this stupidity. There were smart people and stupid people and we let the smart people do the things they were good at and the stupid people were taken care of and didn't need to worry about what the smart people were doing. But now we let the stupid people think they're smart.

My latest: I don’t respect America at 250. The only thing I can think of is how America is still a young, spoiled brat of a nation that no one is able to discipline. Foreign writers have been commenting on the US's developmental problems for centuries. karenattiah.substack.com/p/america-ne...

would love to see a hostile audit of Freedom 250. hell, would love to see hostile audits of everything even tangentially related to trump. this will produce endless material. you could conceivably bring the administration to an effective halt!

URGENT need for an ASL volunteer needed to attend the same panels as one of our Deaf attendees, to assist with understanding. You'll receive double hours, as it's interrupting your con. Willing volunteers should report to the DEIA table. #cvg2026

"In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."

Nothing quite captures the spirit of America 250 like promising a century of single party rule if only one party can change election laws.

Excellent, thoughtful thread - read it all!

I like that we got top billing #cvg2026

Codifying the obvious: Presbyterian Church (USA) declares White Christian Nationalism is incompatible with the teachings of Jesus. Let's see other Christian denominations follow suit. pres-outlook.org/2026/07/pcus...

Great source of sciency stuff! #CVG2026

Great to be back at @convergencecon.bsky.social dealers’ room! Come by for all your science-y book needs

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

The Democratic Socialists want your children to be fed healthy nourishing food and receive the best possible medical care, and to do that they intend to raise taxes on a handful of corrupt and squalid pedophiliac monsters who have stolen 1000x more money than anyone can spend—well not in MY America.

"Send the Mexicans home, make the blacks work." The "philosopher" of the tech-fascist movement

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

I'll say this until I'm dead. The whole conservative project has been about the conversion of public spaces to private ones, ones where groups can be excluded all in the name of individual choice. And if you hear the phrase "tragedy of the commons," you know who you're talking to.

How does a president's net worth nearly triple in a single term? Trump's newest disclosure answers that plainly: bribes, tributes, and self-dealing, woven so tightly that each scandal fades before the next lands. That's not an accident. It's the design, and we can start dismantling it.

NEW: I thought I had missed something major in my reporting. Turns out I had stumbled into an AI-fueled feedback loop that involved a real LLC’s fictional website and a search engine that’s thrusting unreliable answers on users. By @justinelliott.bsky.social

🚨BREAKING: In the latest blow to President Donald Trump’s anti-voting agenda, a federal court on Wednesday granted the NAACP’s request to halt the U.S. Postal Service’s (USPS) implementation of his executive order against mail voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

On Damnatio Memoriae and de-Trumpification. (Gift link) Been waiting for this one to go up. Please read and share.

Basically the Supreme Court is 5-4 on whether America is white man's country

This birthright ruling is why I just refuse to tolerate all the Democrat garment rending over NY voters choosing progressive candidates. They are incapable of governing in this moment. The politics of appeasement and centrism gets us to a 5-4 decision on the constitutional question.

🎯

Old enough to recognize this as a data center

Final #SCOTUS ruling is birthright citizenship. For a 6-3 majority (Thomas, Alito & Gorsuch, dissenting), Chief Justice Roberts *strikes down* President Trump's executive order purporting to limit which individuals born in the United States would automatically be US citizens; preserves status quo:

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court REJECTS Department of Justice lawsuit to gain access to the state's unredacted copy of its statewide voter registration list. DOJ is now 0-11 in these cases. Elias Law Group is undefeated. It may be time to invoke the mercy rule. www.democracydocket.com/cases/new-ha...

It’s weird to be clearly living through exactly what was warned about with global warming and still have the concept treated as a future event or hypothetical.

There's no sugar-coating Slaughter. It's an enormously important ruling (far more important than the other three decisions #SCOTUS handed down today). It's a huge win for Trump/the executive. And it's going to have massive ramifications for the functioning of the government long after Trump is gone.

🚨VICTORY: Supreme Court holds that federal Election Day statutes do not prevent Mississippi from counting absentee ballots postmarked by Election Day but received afterwards A huge victory for our clients and the Elias Law Group team. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"Free speech - use it or lose it." Indeed!

KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.

Elias Law Group is currently litigating 80 voting and election cases in 41 states (plus DC). 4 in SCOTUS. 20 in Federal Courts of Appeal. 5 in State Appeals/Supreme Courts. When we fight we win!

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

Seems the real problem centrist democrats are facing right now is the people are being very clear that they want leaders who will solve their biggest problems, and centrist democrats really don't want to solve their biggest problems and hate the people for wanting that. It's a real pickle for them.

Kinda weird when people come to a revelation about needing to win elections after losing a couple primary contests to the left and not when the courts and both houses of Congress and the Presidency are controlled by the other party

Happy Caturday.

Coming from the most corrupt Administration in American history, this is an honor I'll treasure forever.

The entire fuckin point of the national mall is loitering

Looks like there might have been more people at the Wedge cat tour...
