In New Mexico, the state arrests, prosecutes, and does not pardon people who attempt to overthrow elections. In Colorado, they do things a little differently www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

On this Canada day, we remember our two great building styles: Haunted Hotel with the mean ghosts, or Matrix Fight Scene Gigastructure

I don’t want this point to be lost in the discourse. Going digital-only means inequity for people who cannot afford internet or constantly purchasing new games. Libraries provide opportunities for people to experience games they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford, and that will be lost.

the jury questionnaire asks my sexual orientation. Both "bisexual" and "pansexual" are options. I almost chose bisexual, which is how I usually identify, but then I remembered that tiktok that said the difference between bi and pan is that pansexual people ALSO care deeply about Pluto being a planet

This one showed up in my feed earlier. Reposting someone effectively saying that to identify as a democratic socialist is to be an anti-semite is...not great.

Like, on a basic level. Even the steel-man version of Platner is a fucking moron. The Strawman version of El-Syed is, what, that he calls himself doctor despite not practicing medicine (though he has an MD and public health PHD)?

ah ah ah, only one of them is an Arab

The blue tea party started the moment they passed the Laken Riley Act. You'd have had to have been a moron to maintain high trust for the party after that. That charismatic candidates can scoop up that dissatisfaction and push it towards technocratic ends is excellent news!

The idea that campaigning to win low social trust voters implies low social trust policy should be dead and buried by now

I disagreed with Gov. Polis's decision but thought he was sincere in believing it was the right one. Firing the clemency board members reveals a smallness to Polis that I didn't think he had. I'm deeply disappointed and am glad he's leaving office soon.

If you aid the insurrectionists, you’ll be held accountable as an insurrectionist.

I'm seeing some people wondering how people can be cheering for the USMNT in the World Cup when the current regime is doing so many terrible things and all I have to say to that is, "The President is not America and America is not the President."

I will only root against us when it's another American team. Fuck the euros

This is where it feels like playacting at what historians do. There is no world in which a historian writing a book on these people would read 2/3 of the primary collection and then give up because it was a lot, especially if they had funding to support that work. We read till our eyeballs bleed!

might be my only realistic chance of ever getting a W-2 again lol

I have never seen so many people on my timeline shout USA USA unironically so something super cool must have just happened in soccer or It Happened.

Microsoft: “We couldn’t make our subscription service work so now we have to lay off everyone.” Sony: “No more discs, you can’t own your games anymore.” Nintendo: “We’ll keep using cartridges and making good games to put on them.”

It has a deep verisimilitude to real life, where serial killer rapists are also despised and frequently end up in jail

Soulsbourne fans: The writing in Elden Ring is so deep. Its nuanced take on morality and power is a rich and intellectually fulfilling feast for the mind. Elden Ring: The Loathsome Dung Eater is in jail because he’s a serial killer who rapes people in the butt so hard they can’t go to heaven.

Excommunicado! Excommunicado!

It used to be a relatively bipartisan topic, but one only fueled by policy wonks nobody cared about.

That's the America I want.

Truly staggering. If this doesn't prove that our Constitution needs complete rewrite then I don't know what does. Even if laws address this, they can be UNMADE unless the Constitution changes. "We can't change the Constitution in this political climate?" This did not bother our founding fathers

Fascism. This is fascism. I have also confirmed at least two instances where critics of Donald Trump have been questioned by the FBI about why they obtained their license to carry. The Constitution isn't being attacked. That's too quaint. It's been totally invalidated

I want this, I really do

Critical support

Remember that establishment Democrats hate you and think your hatred for genocide and their complicity in it is merely "performative politics" or about "style."

"Gender is dress-up and we can humour the freaks who want to be different, but sex is an INHERENT UNCHANGEABLE BIOLOGICAL TRUTH" and its consequences. Many cis people fully believe themselves to be allies of trans people when they espouse this view, even as it denies us dignity and humanity.

This is what the moderates got us.

Real.

All girls are going to be harassed and pedo/predator coaches are going to demand to “see for themselves”. “Wrong” haircut, phenotype, etc. will be enough. And Black girls will get it the worst.

I think it’s far better for us that it was this close. Now no one can pretend this is a settled issue. The danger is very clear, and anyone who tries to claim the right will just give up is someone we don’t have to listen to.

Seeing this in STRONG evidence in Montana.

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.

“Tonight has shown that the son of a single mom who grew up working at McDonald's and filling out food stamp and Medicaid forms can go on to become an economist in the US Army Corps of Engineers, serve in the Colorado legislature, and now become the nominee for Congress”

They're hiding the body

I got really angry at him last year re the first CR thing: not so much for the vote itself as the bullshit where he said Senate was behind the House & next DAY underbussed them. Then that interview where he explained after Trump's gone he'll get his normal across the aisle buds back. Then book tour

So Texas’ new Bible curriculum specifically pairs a Biblical reading about G-d punishing the ancient Jews for sinning by letting them be conquered and destroying their entire society with readings about the Holocaust? That’s…a choice.

“Chapter three of the Book of Lamentations, reflects on the destruction of the First Temple and interprets it as divine punishment for the Israelites’ sins. Segal said he was puzzled by its inclusion. More concerning, he said, the text appears alongside Holocaust literature.”

Also a Big Yikes for reactionary centrist pundits (yes, that one in particular, but also others) with the bad habit of treating poll numbers as some sort of immutable assessment of values rather than messy metrics of temporary and easily moved attitudes of a generally mid-to-low info electorate.

100%

“Every guy my age has a crippling gambling addiction and still lives with his mother at 35 thafuq they gonna offer me? I’ve been saving on a down payment for a house.”

here's my scotustake: you need a plan to both break this court specifically, and also a plan to arrive at a new and functional court system, *and also* to recognize that political contestation never ends but that's no excuse for doing nothing

snake inventor who doesnt know when to stop with the artificial limbs so shes going centipede mode

i introduced a man and a woman last night who are going to go on a date tonight, i met a cute boy at julius and then introduced him by insta to a friend i think he’d get on well with. look at my cupid ass, saving romance one couple at a time

You don't need a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. The problem isn't the Constitution, it's the Supreme Court. With a majority that had integrity, it's overturned outright. The current majority would just ignore any amendment, the way they've ignored the ones on voting rights.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SOMEONE GOT CITIZENSHIP THROUGH BEING BORN IN AMERICA AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY LIFE IS RUINED EVERYTHING HAS BEEN DESTROYED CIVILIZATION HAS FALLEN HELP HELP HELPPPPPPPPPPP
