I am not a climate scientist but when I was a kid the number of times we couldn’t go outside because of Canadian wildfire smoke was zero times

jesus be a fence

ICE’s Camp East Montana is a hellhole. It’s been open less than a year and three people have died there, including the first-ever homicide in ICE detention (allegedly at the hands of guards). Both DHS and Congressional watchdogs have documented extensive problems. Shut it down!

This guy represents a Harris+22 district

We're a week away from Pete Hegseth announcing an official Pentagon policy on circumcisions.

Just a woman wearing a kf94 mask in her own home because window AC's don't bring in outside air so the CO2 levels were getting concerning, but the outside air is poison even with the air filters running at full blast so to get the CO2 levels low enough I have to wear a mask.

I remember someone made the joke that him and Martin Freeman were the "Tolkien hires"

still not sure what their explanation is for not answering this question

Wild stuff; the Trump admin appears to be getting ready to claim that Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, shot and killed by ICE on his way to work, had multiple baggies of meth just sitting in plain view on the DASHBOARD for anyone to see. I know the truth is sometimes stranger than fiction, but COME ON.

“There have now been 53 deaths in ICE custody since Trump was inaugurated, 33 deaths in fiscal year 2026 alone.” My God…

ICE has killed another person, this time by depriving him of life-sustaining medication for a known medical condition. Jesus Manuel Arenas-Silva was detained on Thursday. He was dead by Monday. Per @detentionwatchnetwork.org:

He died at Irwin, the detention center made notorious by allegations of unwanted gynecological procedures, and that Biden had shut down. Trump reopened it. Now it’s the site of yet another death in ICE detention following claims of medical neglect.

Ninety percent of the 71 detainees contacted in the concentration camp on Fort Bliss say they were beaten by guards are witnessed beatings, in addition to inedible meals and lack of access to medication or lawyers.

We don't talk about 🎶Hormuz🎶 no no no we dont talk about 🎶 Hormuz🎶🫠🙃🙃🙃

Mine too - masses in the neck and lungs. A pneumonia that couldn’t be resolved because of the mass finally took her. Also many strokes over 10 years each causing more disability. And she started smoking at the advice of her doctor, ‘to keep the weight off’ during pregnancy. So yeah.

If there were truly a “deep state” linked to Epstein, surely the VP would have access to such information and could release corroborating evidence. One of the key frameworks of our day is that everyone, no matter how powerful, still thinks they are being beaten down by a powerful shadowy “them.”

Huh. I had no idea real journalism meant timidly saying "okay" to power. 🤔 Interesting. I guess that's why Tapper gets the big bucks.

I had to persuade the social team that Bluesky was the right audience for this. Don't let me down.

Booker: Okay, but this is the thing that really bothers me. He’s telling me, “I am concerned about Ghislaine Maxwell’s safety” But I am not even going to meet with the victims to get them the justice they deserve. It is so disqualifying for this man to have sat there today and said that to me.

Also — sorry! Worded poorly! "Majority" of (Yea's vs. Neighs) voted in favor of cutting aid to Israel. Totals of Democrats: 103 in favor 98 against 10 "present" 4 not voting

Here are all 98 Democrats who voted *against* the amendment to cut military aid to Israel. As well, the 10 Democrats who voted "present":

This is a disgusting thing to publish in the wake of Louisa Gag's death. Yes, safety education is important for bicyclists. But Louisa is dead because of unsafe infrastructure and because of dangerous blind spots on trucks. Why does this piece not even mention steps the trucking industry could take?

They want to get rid of movie reviews now 😭😭😭

Trump claimed during the 2024 campaign that he wanted to leave abortion to the states. His pick for Attorney General, and his former personal lawyer, just said a nationwide abortion ban is on the table

The thing about basing the political culture of your movement around baseless conspiracy theories is that you run the risk that your followers will fall for conspiracy theories about YOU.

The CDC is so underfunded now that it's like: "Just remove the three outer layers of lettuce, so you don't consume any feces, then wash each interior leaf individually, so you remove any hidden feces. Good luck!"

The president who's been widely accused of sexual assault is calling military strikes on civilians "love taps" and "bitch slaps," but please remember that gender studies is a useless field these days.

The guy in the black suit by the way is Chris Rufo, the racist anti-trans activist who the New York Times has been carrying water for for years. (I actually ended a friendship over my ex-friend's support for Rufo's shit. Guy worked on the Obama campaign!)

It's true. Trans rights means one semiconductor factory per trans person.

This is America.

Happy 65th birthday, Forest Whitaker.

If the head of US intelligence isn't able to say who won the election in 2020, then maybe he shouldn't be head of US intelligence.

This DOJ is just organized crime now. This whole administration is a disgrace and California will fight back. #electionshaveconsequences

I admit I don't follow this world too much -- I pay attention to the main fascists not the pseudo intellectual fascists. But here's Curtis Yarvin, who JD Vance is reportedly a "disciple" of, arguing for the institution of slavery. He tries to dress it up in bullshit, but its slavery.

The Trump administration replaced panels about the brutality of slavery at the Philadelphia President’s House memorial while the public slept overnight

I’ve been traveling and over the past 2 weeks I’ve experienced 115 degree heat in DC, 3 feet of flooding in New Orleans from an ordinary summer storm, and now I’m in Massachusetts and have to turn the lights on to see at 11:30 AM because the sun is almost totally obscured by wildfire smoke.

A Turkish high criminal court has officially requested that Interpol track and arrest Israeli occupation PM Netanyahu and dozens of officials. The charges: war crimes and crimes against humanity over the military attack on the "Global Resilience Flotilla" bound for Gaza in October 2025. Now do Trump

Dr Assal Rad— "These are the headlines that should be in Western media."

AOC: This is an inhaler pump. Can you guess what the great innovation was that made it worth preventing this from going generic? It’s this little plastic piece right here. That was a major part of the new patent they filed to extend exclusivity and prevent this life-saving drug from going generic.

What would stop the Israelis from kidnapping and raping her? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Ro Khana was held for over an hour by armed, Israeli settlers on the West Bank. The IDF arrived and sided with the settlers over a U.S. Congressman. They were only let go when the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem intervened. AOC confirms she supports an arms emdargo on Israel. She may go to W. Bank.

New meme just dropped

“ISRAEL CONDEMNED THE MOVE, CALLING IT "HIGHLY ANTISEMITIC." - at this point, who cares what the state of Israel thinks? They have murdered more journalists than in any war post WW2, Gaza has the most amputees in the world. THEY HAVE TARGETED BABIES FFS!

Energy Secretary Chris Wright: "Gov. Hochul has it exactly backwards. Data centers are the greatest tool we have right now to stop the rise of electricity prices."

That’s called war crimes
