When trans folks point out the cowardice of institutions complying with anti-trans bigotry, we're often hit with "but what do you expect them to do?" Well, this. Say "no." Refuse. Defy. Grow a goddamn spine.

Just a reminder that the guy they put in charge in Minnesota is now speaking at white supremacist conferences in Europe.

Local plumbers two steps ahead of every university administrator in america 👏

I love this quote from Ben Tarnoff, co-author of "Muskism"

i have never seen someone as clearly vacant behind the eyes as tuberville. there is nothing going on in there. if the electrons are firing they are moving through molasses

Trump's big document release tonight, supposedly meant to prove China stole the 2020 election, includes this classified intel graphic making clear that Russia was the only country trying to meddle in American voting systems.

Insider Trading as a Service.

No, this really really really is rape

"WE NEED TO KEEP USING TRAFFIC STOPS PRETEXTUALLY!"

1. Trump is delusional 2. He just legitimized Iran’s plans to charge fees for passage through the Strait.

Honestly, how can someone write shit like this? “The U.S. military said late Sunday that it had struck dozens of military targets in Iran, extending a pattern of attacks by the two sides as their cease-fire continued to unravel.” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/07...

No statement from Mitch McConnell on the sudden passing of his senate colleague? So much for decorum

“We have to show that we are tough on immigration, serious about deficits and that we aren’t left wing extremists on lgbtq, race, and crime issues” No we fucking don’t. Bill Clinton’s Democratic Party is dead. And we are better off for it. It was maybe the right thing for 1992 but that is the past

I'm happy that #MLB has brought in the ABS system, but the way they've done it is nonsense. I don't want "more gamesmanship" and teams figuring out "the right time" to use their challenges. I just want the right calls to be made consistently. Is that too much to ask?

My wife says I remind her of James Bond. I’m not good at following orders, I’m emotionally dead, and she’d like to see the role go to Idris Elba.

I wish I could sing it to you… Early Chicago is still great! #AT40

After the story about Peyton Tolle eating 5 doughnuts during last night's travel delay, he's now officially my favorite #redsox lefty since Bill Lee.

What white people think of as the most common working class: White guy who is 43 with an oversized wrench in overalls saying 'git er done' What is actually more representative: Single mother WOC doing eldercare and gig work in the gaps who ironically lacks healthcare herself

This alone should be a decade-defining political scandal resulting in prison sentences.

She was a fine companion, and loved riding in the convertible with the wind blowing through her floof. Today I gave Kanga the last kindness I could and let her go. 4/

Kanga came into my life on June 29, 2013. She left this afternoon. It was serendipity. Beverly Delaney knew I'd been without a dog for a while, and there was a litter of puppies that had been surrendered in a neglect case in New Hampshire to Samoyed rescue. 1/

Trump has lost control of this war and his flailing in Ankara shows just how completely adrift he really is. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

It's almost time for the final kindness for my old dog, and I'm in the hell of wondering if it's too soon or becoming too late.

For 129 years, WI politics has largely been a two-party affair. Today, only NY and CT still allow fusion voting, a system that lets multiple parties nominate the same candidate and gives voters more ways to express their political preferences. @kyjones25.bsky.social

In the well-over 100,000 documents written by founders included in the Founders Online database from the National Archives, no one uses the phrase "God's noble experiment." No one.

They've apparently gone from boomer rock (including "Suspicious Minds" -- odd choice, but hey) to "Ave Maria" and now something else operatic that I don't recognize (and I'll bet there aren't a dozen people in the crowd there that do, either). This is...some leadup to Trump.

Just saying. Three of the first five presidents of died on the 4th of July. Adams, Jefferson, and 5 yrs later, Monroe.

Ad Rock: you can disagree with the current All: POPE MCA: but if you push his buttons then you’re a All: DOPE Mike D: ordain yourself a bishop and you’re All: SCHISMATIC Ad Rock: excommunication is All: AUTOMATIC

The image here borrows its title from Grant's 1868 presidential campaign slogan, "Let us have peace." Here's what Frederick Douglass had to say about that sentiment.

There's so much that needs to be done. And this is what they come up with. These goddamn wankers.

Qualified immunity is a Calvinball nonsense doctrine, woven ex nihilo by the US Supreme Court Its sole purpose is to protect government officials from the consequences of their own bad decisions, when they violate the rights of the citizenry It has no basis in any law passed by Congress 1/

No matter how much you hate these people, I promise you do not hate them enough Guillotines are the moderate solution

It's true, but so are Mel Blanc, Mel Tormè, Mel Blount and Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes.

Even the roughest of seasons can be saved by a Sarah Langs wheeeeeeeeeee! against your arch rival

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.

I am once again saying that the people who do this are evil but the facts that cops are a loaded gun any random person on the internet can pick up and fire is a far bigger problem

Mamdani announces $15M for trans healthcare, includes launching a call/text resource support line. Notes city Law Dept filed an amicus brief against subpoenas for medical records. Hospitals suspended care to trans youth following a Trump EO. This seems to try working around that, doesn’t mention it

9 years ago, NBC gave this woman $20 million a year to host a morning talk show and be one of the top faces of its news division.

when AI companies go bankrupt

what’s happening tonight in NY is how we win the infrastructure is there, you don’t have to build it from scratch, it’s called the Democratic Party you just need to go and wrest the controls from the people who aren’t serious about doing what needs to be done, and as tonight shows, that’s doable

Can I request Ruby Don’t take your love to town instead? #AT40

Yacht ahoy! #AT40

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump are re-segregating the American military by race and sex Secret Vetting and Blocked Promotions: Inside Hegseth’s War on Diversity www.nytimes.com/2026/06/19/u...

O say can you see By the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed At the algae’s last greening

Here at the Reflecting Pool where a big chunk ofTrump's blue paint-apoxie has peeled off the bottom of the pool and is bobbling in the water.

Police have "mistaken" these things for guns: - phones - soda cans - keys - nothing at all - the sound of acorns falling Police have said these are "threatening them: - sleeping - running/driving away from them - laying on the ground with your hands up - twitching in pain from them beating you

Cops are great. (Acknowledgment to @gregdoucette.bsky.social)

The richest man in the world did this, not for any reason, just for the fun of it.
