In an order released by SCOTUS we learned the Court will hear a case on whether semi-automatic weapons bans are constitutional. Read here for my assessment of how bad this is for people who are already scared every time the send their kids off to school. joycevance.substack.com/p/beyond-the...

Lol. @typewriteralley.bsky.social and I drew a bigger crowd for our tour of historic traffic calming in Seattle.

Minneapolis is a shining star that reminds us of the reasons our country had a Declaration of Independence 250 years ago. Our opposition to tyranny continues. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Another U.S. citizen was reportedly investigated by federal authorities for criticizing ICE after the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it? https://www.npr.org/2026/07/01/nx-s1-5874124/dhs-tracks-ice-critic

Parked but not idle: The buses “will charge up their nearly 200-kilowatt-hour batteries overnight, when the power supply is at its cleanest & cheapest, then send energy back to the grid from 4 pm to 7 pm on days when the grid is strained. The district will earn revenue for the power it shares…”

This man makes me wish I lived in Georgia so I could vote to reelect him to the Senate. I guess I'll just have to wait to vote for Jon Ossoff @ossoff.bsky.social when, hopefully, the Dems draft him to run for President! 🇺🇸 #AwesomeOssoff2028

🚨BREAKING: In the latest blow to President Donald Trump’s anti-voting agenda, a federal court on Wednesday granted the NAACP’s request to halt the U.S. Postal Service’s (USPS) implementation of his executive order against mail voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Can everyone just step back and realize how insane it is that the US Supreme Court had to rule on the constitutionality of the US CONSTITUTION and the vote to uphold the Constitution wasn't unanimous!!!

A win! A federal court has dismissed the DOJ’s lawsuit seeking access to New Hampshire’s unredacted voter data. The ruling marks the department’s 11th legal defeat in its nationwide effort to obtain states’ private voter information.

Most Americans have never heard of the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB). But what is happening with it could have major consequences for the federal workforce and for the courts.

A massive Georgia data center drained nearly 30 million gallons of water, sparking outrage among local residents asked to conserve water during a drought. Residents of Fayetteville, Georgia, first noticed something was wrong when their home water pressure mysteriously plummeted.

You were found GUILTY and ALL Appeals FAILED. And you continue to lie. It's time to pay up.

NEW: Most Supreme Court Rulings Are Secretive Votes With Little Justification ProPublica conducted a new analysis that shows the court is deciding more consequential rulings than ever before in largely unsigned orders with little to no explanation.

We don’t have a government. We have a crime family posing as one.

This is the most corrupt presidency in history...

Chief Justice John Roberts' legacy is a far-right Supreme Court that prioritizes expanding corporate power above all else. I warned of his right-wing nature when I testified against his nomination in 2005.

Today, our friend Jay USAF Major Jason Watson read his oath to the Constitution and demanded that Congress do its job to IMPEACH this President and cabinet. He was arrested on the Capitol steps. #DOOR @defendersofourrepublic.org @removalcoalition.bsky.social @citizensimpeachment.com

Don't threaten us with a good time. 😎

Byron Allen paid CBS $15 million to lease Colbert's timeslot. Not earned. Paid upfront. CBS collects it whether anyone watches or not. 628,000 people watched Comics Unleashed where 2.69 million watched Colbert. CBS calls it a $55 million swing. Letterman calls it lying. The timeline does the rest.

Paigelynne Gonyea, the Syracuse poll worker who federal immigration agents recently confronted at her voting site as she worked an election, said in an interview with Democracy Docket that she’s exploring her legal options, including free speech violations. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Yikes

Ossoff: I don’t know if you saw the mess in Washington last week. The president was so humiliated in Hormuz, he threw his toys out of the stroller and refused to sign the affordable housing bill.

Fifa treatment of Iran. US treatment of Iran A historic sporting disgrace.

To answer everyone's question: Yes, this is bad for the suit, as water can shrink the different layers inside at different rates (face cloth, haircloth, canvas, and padding). If this happens, the damage can't be reversed. That said, I admire his commitment to wearing a suit at all times.

The Buttigiegs have experienced a nightmare that should never have happened at all. I hope whoever is responsible is found and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. substack.com/home/post/p-...

“It’s a disaster World Cup” - Medhi Taremi, Iran captain. Good for him to speak up, his body language says a lot more than his words. 😕

They can’t cheat the election if we show up in numbers too big to ignore or manipulate VOTE

I love how Iran World Cup players stay classy as American government officials and FIFA fuck them over daily. It is extremely telling. In the face of adversity they stay kind and calm.

Todd Blanche moved Ghislaine Maxwell to minimum security—the only sex offender to get that exemption. Now, a judge gave him a week to produce the Epstein files. His July confirmation hearing will be fireworks. Full story on @contrariannews.org👇 -TN

I tell people that the "medical" advice they're getting from AI is often just Reddit posts and webmd( which is an appropriate resource).But access to real medical research and studies is expensive and so they are not getting that.Same with legal. Go to your public library or uni for the good stuff.

Every artist, academic, and any content creator should join this lawsuit. AI is nothing without the data it synthesizes from.

Put him in jail.....

It's nice how we can't own anything and need to pay subscriptions to the tech gods for every single thing but they see stealing everything mankind created up until now as their right.

Good AI corporations are getting all of their pirated information from others hard work and then selling it openly for profit. Shameful.

James Talarico's acceptance speech made it clear that Texans are taking back their state with Barbara Jordon and Sam Houston as our role models.

This isn’t as much fun as a funeral.

Apple is just the most recent to jack up prices and point the finger at AI. But consumers are footing the bill for something we didn’t ask for, despite record earnings. Read more from @terrenceobrien.bsky.social:

Watching episode of ER from 2001. Dr. Chen & Dr. Carter are trying to diagnose an unconscious preschooler. Carter: “Could be measles.” Chen: “Measles? Have you ever seen measles?” Carter: “No, have you?” Chen: “Of course not, nobody’s seen measles.” So far backwards in such a short time.
