Hey, Policy Wonks! If you didn't know, Dan's first episode of Show Me State of Mind is up! sites.libsyn.com/618415/

Courage that Whiskey Pete could never drink himself into.

HASAN: “Thank you, Fox News.” Hasan Piker thanks Fox for unwittingly doing an ad for DSA as they try to scare people🙃

When Fake Fox News Continues to Purposely Lying Without Legal Penalties 🙄 Hmmm Lawsuit.

Ok DSA, where do I sign up?

new metaphor just dropped

NEW: Todd Blanche claims the DOJ won’t produce additional docs or unredact them b/c the original redactions & withholdings were appropriate & he wants to protect the privacy of victims…despite already repeatedly violating that privacy. My reply to his asinine arguments: youtu.be/f0GaVdXLrfM?...

I don't even remember this one being in the news. Local cop resigns in the midst of a sexual misconduct investigation, immediately signs up to become an ICE deputy, is arrested a year later.

I never want to hear another fucking fairness argument if it's not going to address program funding. And individual athlete wealth. And genetic advantages. And the dozens of other NON-HORMONE "advantages". If the only moral nuance you GAF about here is trans specific, you are part of the problem.

What a guy. Infinitely better than Trump. Leagues better than corporate centrist Dems. And it's admirable that he knows he's popular enough for an eventual Prez run but won't because he wasn't born here and he cares about doing THIS job. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

This is the thing that so many Americans don’t seem to grasp: private companies are in it to make a profit, and nothing else. There are so many important, necessary discoveries that industry will never look into simply because they can’t make enough money on it.

Good thing that isn’t happening with capitalism.

You know how if you're a thief you can't legally steal from another thief? We might not approve of the first thief's actions but you don't get to then steal from *them* without consequences. Their legal strategy appears to be "MooOOOoom, he did it first!" variety.com/2026/film/ne...

one fun thing about this decision from the vatican is it does technically excommunicate augustus invictus, the nazi lawyer who is very involved with his SSPX parish. suspended from the florida bar & excommunicated from the catholic church in the same year. that’s rough!

I’m a birthright citizen born to two people who were green card holders at the time, married to a naturalized immigrant, with extended family that includes refugees, asylum seekers and undocumented folks. The 4th is just a reminder to me that we’ll be American a lot longer than Donald Trump will.

👇🏽Underrated clip. Vance complains Dems aren’t working with Republicans to lower housing costs when in reality a bipartisan bill passed and Trump refused to sign it. Really sums up J.D. Vance perfectly - slick arrogance even as he gets something completely wrong.

Maybe we'll luck out and he'll die of heat stroke mid hateful ramble.

The ghosts of the Andrews Sisters weigh in on TrumpFest

ICE agents shoot off their guns wildly in the streets at a fleeing vehicle after they fail to fully block in a car in Philly while attempting and failing to make an arrest yesterday. They are totally incompetent and reckless.

What's amazing to me is that this asshole not only wants to grift us, he gets upset when we don't smile and grin at the grift. He wants to fleece you and get a thumbs up while he does it. What a disgusting narcissist.

"Every serious legal mind must inevitably face a fundamental choice: Read the Constitution and apply its words as the bedrock laws of the land, or transcend its tired text and interpret the super-secret invisible version that tells you exactly what you want to hear."

Best Twitter riposte of the day. Ted Cruz is a prolific poster of pure nitwittery, exceeded in the Senate only by Mike Lee.

The other day I noted the only way Trump would keep paying Event Strategies to put together humiliating public events is if it were a vehicle for corruption. Today, Natural Resource Dems released a report substantiating that corruption. emptywheel.net/2026/06/29/t...

INCREDIBLE SCENES ON FOX as there is LITERALLY NOT A SOUL at Trump's fair, which has now been open for 15 minutes

🤷🏼

Something tells me a new Red Scare isn't going to work on today's younglings the way it did back in the 50s and 60s, they are much more media savvy than they're given credit for. That said, with every DSA win, expect the Red Scare tactics to amplify.

this countrys fetish for punishing those we decide are unworthy of help at the expense of all of us is so completely bat shit

The first example that springs to mind is trans bathroom bounty laws, which have *already* been used as a justification by idiots to harass cis women who don't conform to the beauty standards of these inevitably Will Ferrell parody dipshits.

Hey Justice Alito? I was born in the United States. I don't owe this place shit. The idea that there is a duty of loyalty to a patch of dirt where my parents or I were born is childish nonsense. Grow the fuck up. I owe loyalty to who and what *I* decide has earned it. There's no default.

It is hard for me to feel reasonable about this. It just disgusts me that all these fucking people can manage to talk about is ROI and cost analysis and the job market. WHAT ABOUT THE FUCKING EDUCATION YOU GODDAM MONEY OBSESSED GHOULS?!?!?! www.insidehighered.com/news/tech-in...

I love Tull but Ian is such a shmuck. faroutmagazine.co.uk/the-bands-th...

Today, the SUNY University Faculty Senate Executive Committee approved this urgent call to action. Please share widely. It includes the most current and comprehensive compendium of opposition to OMB’s proposed rule attacking research for the public good we could compile. hdl.handle.net/1951/89039

Canada banned Kneecap from performing in the country - but allowed Kristi Noem to immigrate and have a cushy job in a BC mining company post her fascist run of being part of an administration threatening to annex Canada

5-4, to reiterate the most milquetoast meaning of a Constitutional amendment that was win soaked in blood, tells us we have to figure out how we are going to get to impeachment. No other remedy will do.

This should not be surprising to anyone who knows Thomas's INSANE history of porn addiction. He's a bigot with porn brain. I am very sex positive, I consume porn, sex work is work. But I'm not gonna argue against evidence that prolonged exposure to porn rewires your brain. And he is an *addict*.

To emphasize a point Snitty makes in her thread: Excluding trans kids from sports is about cutting them out of public life. The lies people pushed about "fairness" were a thin cover for anti-trans bigotry. For most athletes sports are about socialization. They're taking that away from trans kids.

MUST BE NICE

"I don't know if they were guilty or not"?!? Are we really doing this?!?

Sweet headline, dicks. Weiss isn't gonna have to work too hard to feed CNN into the wood chipper. www.cnn.com/2026/06/29/p...

So what are the odds that once Sony realizes the current gen player base won't choke down a $1k next gen unit they'll start removing games from their servers? I technically own WAY more games than would fit on my console, even with an extra 1TB SSD.

First, the White House doesn't date back to July 4, 1776, idiot. It opened on November 1, 1800. Second, the tackiest man in the United States and its president should *not* be the same person. Third, nice inspiration, fascist.

If this were just Ketanji Brown Jackson walking the halls of the Capitol, meeting with “nobody” the day before final rulings, Trump and Republicans would be going ballistic.

To quote Liz Lemon: I want to go to there. www.mensjournal.com/news/winter-...

This is the kind of story I wish more weirdos who talk about "college indoctrination" heard. Whoever we are, whatever we believe, students dictate engagement. I don't like Mumblecore movies but if a student wants to chat about them we are chatting! THEY come to us. edition.cnn.com/2026/06/28/h...

Elon is in a K-hole watching a movie that tells him his hate boner is justified and he (or someone with more balls than him) should do something about it. It is deeply beside the point and probably not constructive on my part but the idea of this chickenshit manchild clown squeeing at this is ridic.

Reminder or recommendation that @socialistdogmom.bsky.social has done a fantastic series of episodes about the Afrikaner nonsense. Such as: www.iheart.com/podcast/1119...
