FIFA and the U.S. thought that by humiliating  Iran in the World Cup and making their logistics difficult, would turn the world against them. Instead, the amount of support they received throughout this tournament is unprecedented. They represented their country with dignity and humility. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

NYC’s outdoor pools in will open tomorrow, signaling the official start of summer! And this year, Adult Lap Swim will also return—bigger and better than any year since 2019 hellgatenyc.com/adult-lap-sw...

Russian "Z-bloggers" are saying Russia needs to accept a humiliating truce. "If we are facing a de facto civilizational catastrophe, that is, people leaving Moscow, people leaving St. Petersburg, people leaving Yekaterinburg, but this is almost equal to the great migration of peoples,

Didn't we win this war with Iran for the Epsteinth time now? 😅 @whitehouse-47.bsky.social 🖕

normally if a mayor did this with tourists locals would be like “it’s not usually like this” but honestly it kind of is lol

Yikes

Republican reaction to this mayor reminds me of Billy Budd by Herman Melville -- Claggart hating Billy mainly because everyone else on the ship loves him (and he desires him, perhaps). If you've read that book, you know what I'm talking about.

Getting rid of well-respected high ranking members of the military in order to install loyalists is what you do when you are planning to do the wrong thing and want to make sure the military complies with your orders.

The entire fuckin point of the national mall is loitering

The Iranian team were unbelievable tonight against Egypt, against all odds. Amazing, amazing, heartbreaking match. #world cup

Himes: I got a little bit more of an up-close-and-personal look at some of the damage that was done. I’ll tell you what: the Iranians hit our embassies. They hit pretty much all of our military facilities in the area.

📌Trump and his hideous regime bought in White South Africans by the boatful, and are sending Haitians into the sea. But if you really want to understand the depth of the decay in the GOP consider Amy Coney Barrett, who adopted two Haitian children aligned with Alito in the SC's revolting decision.

NEW: @opb.org and ProPublica found that water from one of Oregon’s most iconic rivers, the Deschutes, is largely given away to wealthy landowners who are turning the high desert green with lush pastures and landscaping.

Just for kicks, here’s the interview I did with D’Souza in which it quickly became obvious that he and Phillips were full of shit. Gift: wapo.st/4oWG0P2

I’m a little sad that Phillips will be remembered for teleporting to breakfast joints and not for contriving a ludicrous conspiracy theory about ballots being collected and cast illegally that became a staple of Trumpworld nonsense. But as long as he is remembered negatively, I guess I’ll survive.

Almost too funny to be bull’s-eye true. Touché-là.

Dems have to run on this hard. Do not let the RFK types try to spin what his own party just signed off on here. Actual Monsanto, the comic book villain of Adbusters days, was shielded from liability over poisoning Americans. I don't care if it's slopulism: this Supreme Court wants you dead.
