So people are so excited that TS&TK donated $26M. With their combined wealth over $2B, this is just around 1.2%. in real human terms, it's as if a couple making $100K, donated around $1200.

Aswad Walker argues for a white history month in @nyamnews.bsky.social I have always said, we should teach Western history. We just have to know how. amsterdamnews.com/news/2026/07...

Not the result I wanted, but still one of the most amazing games I've ever seen in in 60 years of watching games, Cape Verde, you are the best

💔Cabo Verde 💚 amazing game! Sad they didn't win.

And here we are. Almost seems like by design. Media frenzy leading some Ds to abandon a reliable candidate for a mirage of victory, and then we learn it was just a hype. And the Rs win. Ugh.

Americans are struggling while Trump is making $$$$ Unprecedented for a president. Just imagine if President Obama or Biden did this. Dems run on this rather than hide under rocks because some DSA candidates won. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

In a sane world (an alt reality) today's dissents would sufficient to warrant Thomas, Gorsuch and Alito's impeachment and removal from office. If you defy the plain words, meaning, intent, history, precedent of a black letter constitutional injunction u are abusing your power and should be removed.

The Supreme Court today addressed one of the most pressing threats to the nation today: banning this high school sophomore from playing school sports with her friends 🫡🫠🙃

I can’t bring myself to be too celebratory. This should have been a 9-0 slam dunk. My main takeaway is that there are currently 4 votes to undo a longstanding constitutional guarantee that 15 years ago seemed beyond any serious question.

Maybe a Democratic president will use these new presidential powers. Or did the SC limit them to Trump only...?

Per Bloomberga "Getty Images shares jump about 200% in premarket trading after the photography repository announced a licensing deal with OpenAI." Fake images but licensed? I can't see anything good come out of this licensing deal.

Such a loss to the humanities. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/17/b...

An interesting thread from a month ago that predicted exactly what we’re seeing in the reflecting pool now (peeling up, prolific microbial activity)

May 20th ... 🧵⬇️ Science matters

Obama: "As algorithms keep feeding us a steady stream of distraction and outrage, as only the loudest most extreme voices get attention, fanning our prejudices, appealing to our basest most tribal instincts, it's tempting to give in to cynicism and even despair, to stop trying."

🧵⬇️🥰

Obama: I am not immune to anger or doubt. But I do know this when we lose faith in each other, when we stop believing that voting matters… we open the door to the most ruthless or the most careless, or the most fearful among us who see some groups and some people as more equal than others

This is Bluey. He just came over to say hi. Wants to know what you're doing all the way up there. 12/10 valid question (IG: blueychi)

Obama: When we lose faith in each other, when we stop believing our collective voices matter, we give away our power. We open the door to those who see some people as more equal than others, who see government as a way to punish enemies. I do not believe that is the story of America that prevails

Your reminder that fairy tales are full of stepmothers because women once routinely died in childbirth, from postpartum sepsis, or from other infectious diseases and left behind housefuls of motherless children. Stable nuclear families are made possible by vaccines, antibiotics, and safe abortions.

Trump turned 80 with cage fights on the White House lawn. Pure distraction. Underneath it: Epstein files, Iran, and 35 federal judges trying to stop what I’d call the most brazen kleptocracy attempt this country has seen. This week matters. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

“I was horrified by the loss of autonomy.” International lawyer and judge Theodor Meron on issuing Netanyahu’s arrest warrant, and how daydreaming helped him to survive the Holocaust. Don’t miss this incredible conversation:

Our whole city is cheering for the Knicks tonight. So it’s only right that we bring the Knicks to the whole city. Tonight, Game 5 will be streaming on 130 LinkNYC kiosks. Let’s go Knicks.

My office is demanding the Spurs remove this policy and allow Knicks fans and anyone who can buy tickets for tonight’s game to be able to attend. Let’s go Knicks.

We just want to afford gas, groceries, housing and health care.

It’ll never not be notable to me that Republicans face no consequences for calling Dem voters “animals” or worse, while calling the worst racists in the country “deplorable” was a scandal that every democrats had to answer for
