Talarico: Every bar has that guy. He’s loud, he’s obnoxious, he makes all the women in the bar feel uncomfortable. He hears you say your name to the bartender and then adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Paxton. And I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

Shhhh maybe this is our time to just leave things alone before we destroy them. “The expedition coincided with the unveiling of plans by the Trump regime to dismantle one of the world’s most important deep-sea observation systems, the Ocean Observatories Initiative.”

“When are we going to have something in the operatic world that has the same impact on the opera world that Black Panther had on the movie industry? = Black Opera Project. We're going to do 3 operas…composed by, directed by, libretto written by all African American artists.”

Congrats to Cape Verde, the most powerful 0-3-0 World Cup team of all time

Just here to say ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot Renee Good as she was driving away. Sue me.

When you’re evil, criticism can be hard to stomach www.cnn.com/2026/06/26/p...

MacKenzie Scott ‘s “cumulative giving to $26.2 billion in just five years across thousands of organizations focused on housing, DEI, disaster recovery, and many more causes.” “Scott doesn't really participate in philanthropy for the recognition, and maybe that's the point.” Typical woman.

Love it. Get it, Cape Verde!

Cape Verde advance!!!!! From the Cape Verdean Association in Bridgeport, Connecticut

Wait, WHAT??? CAN WE PLEASE INCLUDE WOMEN'S HEALTH IN RESEARCH REGULARLY? I'm so effing tired of questions I have about peri/menopause receiving a shrug.

On the anniversary of Obergefell v. Hodges, we celebrate the landmark decision legalizing marriage equality nationwide. As the Trump Administration continues its sweeping MAGA attacks on LGBTQIA+ Americans, we recommit to defending freedom, dignity and equal protection for all.

Ya know, sometimes Mike Johnson makes good points.

"The warehouses that ICE plans to hand off or sell are in Romulus, MI; Social Circle & Flowery Branch, GA; Hamburg & Tremont, PA; Salt Lake City; and Roxbury, NJ."

The Trump regime "doesn't want you to know that they are enabling housing discrimination against gay, lesbian and transgender Americans. They have quietly removed sexual orientation and gender identity from the list of protected characteristics at the Dept of Housing & Urban Development."

Hell yeah 👏🏽

thank you jd vance for helping instigate an ethnic cleansing campaign

FFS, Texas -- stop being an embarrassment.

You need a happy distraction... BEARS! 😍🐻

Should you be able -- if you're looking to donate to orgs supporting victims of the Venezuelan earthquake, look around on those org sites to see where else they are responding and pitch in a few dollars to other needs (e.g., Ebola, Sudan) or a general fund. It's easy to forget when headlines fade.

Today's Supreme Court decision to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 350,000 Haitians adds to the long history of injustices against the nation. This is how structural violence works. Social, economic, and political forces are keeping Haiti impoverished and in crisis.

It is disgusting and disrespectful how low are our state minimum wages. Anyone who has voted against a livable wage (I'm looking at you, Oklahoma, who just voted to keep $7.25/hr) should be forced to live off the current minimum wage they're supposedly fine with. No job justifies that.

ICE reports another detention death, making it the 20th of this year so far. Felix Alcorta-Rodriguez, a 63-year-old man from Mexico, died on June 19 at the Webb County Detention Center in Laredo, TX. Congress just gave ICE billions $$$ and reduced oversight.

Justice Sotomayor said the court had endorsed the regime’s decision to “slam the door shut on all who are fleeing persecution,” despite a system enacted by Congress to help people seek asylum in the US.

Judge Talwani in Boston has just entered an order, telling the administration it can’t use Trump‘s executive order to suppress the vote in the midterm election. I wrote about the EO & the legal challenges to it here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-execut...

Mamdani got the rent freeze

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Did he go on leave, or was he teleported somewhere?

Join tonight's @aclu.org call to discuss SCOTUS rulings because... ugh. ⚖️ 👉Thursday, June 25 @ 8pm EST

BREAKING: A federal judge declared unconstitutional key parts of President Trump's executive order that illegally attempted to restrict mail-in voting. The Constitution is clear: The president doesn't have the power to change election law.

BREAKING: Governor DeSantis announced that "Alligator Alcatraz" has officially shut down. Through community pushback and litigation pressure, we the people successfully closed the chapter on this facility's dark record. But as people are moved to other facilities, accountability is still needed.

Vance is right about being wrong as it no longer matters that he's wrong. He's testing the theory that there are no more consequences.

Alex, who are the stars of all my sexual nightmares?

Phang: I have standing to be able to get Todd Blanche to comply with Judge Sullivan’s order, which is now telling him that on or before July 2nd, he either has to put up or shut up. He either has to bring forth unredacted files or show cause as to why he should not or cannot do so.

BREAKING: We just won in court — again — to protect Pennsylvanians’ right to vote by mail.

My sister Maya and I were profoundly shaped by the influence of our mom, Ann Dunham. Giving Maya a preview of the Obama Presidential Center, including a new sculpture by Maya Lin dedicated to our mom’s memory, was truly special.

the level of psychic damage a Clarence Thomas concurrence inflicts on me I finished my close-read of Alito's terrible opinion in the TPS case and was like "well that's the worst thing I've ever read" then Thomas pops out like "worst thing you've ever read SO FAR, I wanted to do something WORSE"

DOJ appears to have missed its filing deadline in @katiephang.bsky.social’s lawsuit against Todd Blanche.

Blade Runner was released 44 years ago today.

Anyone not running on reforming the Supreme Court cant be the leader of anything moving forward. It's an unhinged gang of extremists unrestrained by anything or anyone.

"After five rounds of interviews, three personality evaluations, a lie-detector test, electroshock therapy, and a metaphysical ascension into the unconscious plane, we’ve decided to go with a candidate whose experience more closely aligns with the listed position."

“The court’s 6-to-3 decision on Thursday, divided along ideological lines, clears a path for the potential deportation of 350,000 Haitians and 6,100 Syrians, and it is likely to have implications for T.P.S. holders from about a dozen other countries.”

“Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, writing that the decision to put Lau on immigration parole effectively sentenced him to “immigration limbo” before he’d been convicted of any crime. “I worry that the Court has now handed the Government a massive blank check.””

bitch you can't be serious the fragility and pettiness of these people, who aren't content just to strip away people's rights they want to pretend they're Good and Just Doing Law, too, and are deeply offended when people acknowledge otherwise

Sotomayor: "Because the Court today blesses the Executive Branch’s decision to slam the door shut on all who are fleeing persecution, despite the detailed inspection and asylum system that Congress enacted and commands, I respectfully dissent."
