Hottest country in the world!

The Trump administration has directly spent $2.7 billion of taxpayer money on its crusade against wind power while pouring $1.1 billion into boosting coal, which critics say is pushing up Americans’ bills.

it was 115 in montana yesterday—actual temperature, not the heat index

this is “pete hegseth wants an all-white military”

The settlement was an “attempt to use the Court to provide some legitimacy to an agreement to confer immunity to people and entities affiliated with the President,” the judge wrote.

This is Ulyana, she was only 13. Russia killed her On July 11, during aerial bombs attack on Sumy. 💔🕯 ​Ulyana practiced track and field at the Volodymyr Golubnychy Specialized Children and Youth Sports School. She was at a bus stop when her city was hit.

If I accomplish one thing as a Bluesky account, let it be this: I want to show you the REAL joys of bookselling. The "got it for a dollar and sold it for a hundred" trope is tired, and frankly scurrilous. My two? anecdotes like that are not even on the Top 100 list of things I love about my work.

Platner is done. Time to gray rock him. Leave him in the dustbin of history and move forward to support whomever Maine chooses to unseat Susan Collins!

#AbolishICE 🖕 #ICEGestapo‼️

At Mount Rushmore, the president said that if Congress terminates the filibuster & passes the SAVE America Act, “we will not lose an election for 100 years.” Democracy depends on free, fair & competitive elections. Every voter should be concerned. We are on the record: www.lwv.org/fighting-vot...

The reason Platner has gotten roughly 10x the discussion of any of the panoply of rapists & sexual harassers in prominent positions on the right is that everyone - left, right, center, media, *everyone* - has internalized that conservatives just don't care and so there's no point talking about it.

Just talked to my old friend Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes.

Meta Glasses are like, a Cybertruck for your face.

I want to make my thoughts clear. Platner should exit the race, and exit now. robertreich.substack.com/p/platner-mu...

“He’s resting.”

Not talking to people affected by the law is a form of erasure and dehumanizing tactics. It reduces trans people to some myth, or an ideology without ideologues. When news is absent of trans voices reporting about trans people is just strawmanning us.

The grift is constant.

Bryan Stevenson joined the New York Times's Ezra Klein for a discussion about reckoning with our history as a required step towards creating an era of truth and justice in America on the nation's 250th anniversary. Watch the episode: www.nytimes.com/2026/07/03/o...

Well deserved.

Without downloading any new pics, what's it like being in a relationship with you?

“They’ve silenced her. “This is an attempt to punish someone who spoke the truth.” The "bizarre" moment @maitlis.bsky.social is forced to ask Facebook whistleblower Sarah Wynn-Williams to leave the studio.

Classic fascist move. Try to stifle dissent by use of intimidation tactics targeting anyone who dares to disagree. History will judge ICE and all Trumpian sycophants.

There’s a story like this approximately every other day now. www.cnbc.com/2026/06/29/t...

This is just so fucking crazy and wasteful. The stupid orange ass is using our tax dollars to pay energy companies to NOT produce energy.

MAJOR BREAKING: In a 5-4 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court held that states may count mail-in ballots that are postmarked on or before Election Day, even if they arrive afterward. Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh dissented.

1. Between the Trumps and Lutnicks, one or both families have ties to at least 14 companies working with the federal government on mining deals. 2. The president bought up to $5M in shares of Axon Enterprise, just two weeks before ICE sought a $220M contract only Axon could fill. trib.al/ZDZGsPc

With the Trump administration, the racism is a feature, not a bug

Imagine trying to convince Midwesterners that this is a state fair…I bet there’s not a butter cow or a fried Oreo in sight.

Trump ripped up the walkway between the West Wing and the mansion to replace it with polished African granite carved in Italy. "Paid for by me," he claimed. Except that's not true. Taxpayers paid $689,232, per documents obtained by @michaelscherer.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Stay cool Mayor. Stay cool.

Climate.us is live. Built by members of the team behind Climate.gov, this new independent nonprofit website keeps trusted climate information easy to find, easy to use, and harder to erase. #ClimateForUs #ClimateUS

Meanwhile, our current President is paying energy companies to STOP clean energy projects and he has endorsed a candidate who calls solar a scam,

MAHA!!

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme. youtu.be/0jMb0qehajA?...

Former Trump national security adviser John Bolton pleaded guilty on Friday to keeping security information from his work in his personal records—an act less egregious than what Donald Trump and Joe Biden previously got away with unscathed.

Americans’ personal savings rate has dropped to one of its lowest levels in 15 years. Household debt is at a record high. Millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, which aren't keeping up with inflation. Meanwhile, corporate profits are at a record high. The system is rigged.

Judge Brinkema ordered the Trump admin to explain itself on the $1.8B slush fund—after DOJ wouldn't even confirm in writing it was inactive We @democracydefendersaction.org filed a bipartisan amicus brief w/ Sens. Booker & Cassidy You can't spend $1.8B w/o Congress approving & the courts agree -TN

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis. Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention. So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption. 1/ Here it is - in one🧵

One of today's political prisoners. Cartoonist & zine maker Daniel Rolando Sanchez Estrada wasn't even at the ICE protest. He was accused of "moving" a box of anti-Trump zines THE NEXT DAY. A rightwing judge sentenced him to 30 years! Just for possessing zines. The darkness is descending.

It now costs more to cause climate change than to prevent it

Uh oh, we don't know if America's pride could handle losing a war to a single cell organism. #raygun #reflectingpool

Ngl, one of my favorite short stories has to be the urban-dark fantasy by @tkingfisher.com called Wooden Feathers. The story about a woodcarver, an old man, and an unsettling living wooden mannequin, this tale is creepy, emotional, and just a breath of fresh air. So check it/her out right now.

Happy birthday, Octavia Butler (1947‒2006)! In celebration, read how a HS English teacher in Albuquerque uses a history lesson from ZEP with “Kindred,” including Butler’s visions of education, resistance, and the role of history in shaping the present. 🧵 www.zinnedproject.org/news/history...

While some conservative commentators are demanding Capitol-riot-level consequences for the "saboteurs," former Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger points to a simple Google search to show the damage was completely self-inflicted. #ReflectingPool #Trump

ICE/Geo drove into a demonstrator today.

The destruction of the Reflecting Pool is a very public demonstration of Donald Trump's incompetence, but think of all the many other things he is screwing up behind closed doors.
