I can't even manage this level of verbal eloquence on a good day, I aspire to the kind of chill who can make such a clear case while being carried away by the police.

What an image

It’s not just mental health. My VA dental appointment took over a year to schedule. And my MRI was done incorrectly and had to be re-done, postponing my surgery for a year. Stop. Voting. For. Republicans.

If anyone at the @startribune.com would like to recruit a historian to write an op-ed about how the grandparents and great-grandparents of Tom Emmer's constituents were hated by the Tom Emmers of their era, I'm sure you could find a couple hundred volunteers.

By contrast, Rachel Dawson was fired after a shoddy, inconclusive investigation for allegedly saying things I am certain she did not say. “Accountability" means resigning. www.chronicle.com/article/anat...

"Acker said he wanted to be accountable, and fellow regents thanked him for showing students what that looks like." That would be a defensible statement had he not denied the allegations until he could deny them any longer. bridgemi.com/talent-educa...

During his confirmation hearing, Blanche will have to answer for refusing to rescind the slush fund in writing, the order to release the Epstein files in the lawsuit brought by @katiephang.bsky.social, the Prarieland sentences, the MN 15, the Broadview Six, trump tax immunity, and so much more.

Blade Runner was released 44 years ago today.

Just to be 100% clear, when I say that you should not be talking to the police, I mean specifically that you should say, “I’m invoking my fifth amendment right to remain silent.”

Just horrifying: University of Central Florida has closed several branches and services and apparently laid people off today, effective TODAY.

You will never convince me they did that accidentally. They were trying to do this. Abolish ICE. And prosecute Jonathan Ross, who murdered Renee Good.

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

HOLY COW. I just can't even with Alito. How does that man look himself in the mirror?

Make sure you read that salary range: $200,000-$450,000! Iowa is already cutting teaching & library positions.

Alito authoring opinion saying fixing a racial gerrymander is also racist and then musing, 2 hours later, during oral argument about Trump's racist effort to end humanitarian protections against deportation for Haitians, about how he doesn't like dividing up people by race I loathe this man so much

a big flag that says “SHAME” on it but just to fly when the Supreme Court issues rulings

"Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. said the federal law at issue prohibited courts from second-guessing an administration’s determination, in this case to strip the protections." Lower courts said "decisions had been preordained and not based on meaningful analysis" GIFT ARTICLE

My concern is that even if a judge orders this asshole to mail our ballots, that trump will ignore the court and sabotage mail ballots anyhow. He’s got a judge on the 3rd circuit who told DoJ lawyers to tell the courts to fuck off, and he’s deploying more election deniers to the bench.

'For the Sotos, this “material support” included owning a “printing press” used to print anarchist zines and being part of a leftist book club, the federal government argued. The couple had already left the scene by the time guns were drawn.' Agents interrogated Sotos' children 30, 50 yrs in prison

'Accenture is trying to figure out how to stop non-technical workers from blowing through companies’ AI token budget on trivial tasks like converting PDFs to presentation slides, according to leaked audio obtained by 404 Media' www.404media.co/the-tokenpoc...

READ THE BOOK. Seriously, I loved it so much I got it as a gift for at least three people. Had to special order it because the bookstore ran out.

BREAKING — Judge in Coe vs. Blanche provisionally certifies plaintiffs as a class and grants temporary restraining order against DOJ accessing private medical records of trans youth treated at NYU Langone

I like seeing demanding Trump personally pay things back because seizing all assets of Trump, his family, his organization, is a key part of fixing this country.

Outrageous. Even pressed, Byrne refuses to say: Biden won the popular vote Biden won the Electoral College People attacked the Capitol. He says Congress declared Biden president "I'm here to talk about questions of law, not fact" Blumenthal: "Questions of fact are absolutely to the point" VOTE NO

@ndiscenza1.bsky.social 😂

And I'm thinking of @sonjadrimmer.bsky.social! I dismissed something quickly as fake instead of looking it up when it was in fact real. And it matters, given that the same administration is arresting people for causing damage that those people didn't cause.

I ignored images of black SUVs driving through the Reflecting Pool because I assumed they were fake. Found out from my brother that I was wrong: www.snopes.com/fact-check/t...

I'm trying to laugh instead of crying, but it's really hard

"Under these proposals, multiple HASS disciplines, including History, English, Modern Languages and Politics, will be subject to an approximately 25% reduction in staffing."

apparently the bassist for the Oregon Symphony wore a shark costume for their performance of the Jaws score, you love to see it www.reddit.com/r/Portland/c...

Fentrice Driskell says the handover of USF SM to New College "reeks of grift." "so much waste here, and it is incredibly frustrating to watch the governor try to bend the higher education system towards his political will. New College is a vanity project…." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Found the original this is hilarious. www.instagram.com/vjaybombs?ig...

THANK YOU. "Part of the difference, furthermore, is that reporters love to give Democrats advice and scold them when they don’t take it, while they treat Republicans more like a weather pattern they have no way to influence." (Jamelle Bouie says this often, and he's right too.)

“I carry with me a photo of a Muslim child who, during my visit to Lebanon, was standing there holding a sign that said ‘Welcome, Pope Leo,’ and in this latest phase of the war, he was killed. “As a Church, I say again: as a pastor, I cannot be in favor of war.” — Pope Leo XIV

The president is so out of it he didn't even notice that speaker is a pink frog

Holy chevrons! The *original travel stargate* from all three seasons of Stargate is up for auction! It's at $46k right now. If I had the money…or a super rich friend? Anyone? Kree? Comtraya? entertainment.ha.com/itm/movie-tv...

I'm resharing again to encourage you to comment if you haven't on proposed rules for grants. Mark Peifer's thread links to an article and explains why you should care. Elizabeth Ginexi's piece has good details about commenting on the proposal (write your OWN comments!). Comments open until JULY 13

Why this framing? Trump is lying or delusional. You know it's not true, so don't start as if it is.

The whole university should be a "center for intellectual freedom"! If your Board of Regents has already bought into this nonsense that you can run alternative-reality "centers" w/i an 800-year-old institution, you've already lost the right to call yourself a university.

States that fight win. States that cave sell us out

If Vandals are destroying the Reflecting Pool, then it stands to reason that the East Wing of the White House was sacked by Ostrogoths.

Pretty sure the answer is that the correlation has long been demonstrated in studies, just not in the NYT

It's a Muppet World, and we just live in it

"We have the argument. We have the evidence — in every graded paper, in every study, and in the plain fact that the most advanced technology humans have ever built has just made our discipline more necessary, not less. What we have lacked is the confidence to make the case in daylight.…"
