There's a party that turned against its own candidates and officeholders when they were accused of sexual assault. There's another party that stood by Kavanaugh, Trump, RFK Jr., and Hegseth when they were so accused. Guess which one "can't go on like this."

Bahahaha 🤭😅🤣

Republicans all came out on the same day to say "I talked to Mitch McConnell" and @ronnychieng.bsky.social is calling bulls**t

Several people choked up in interviews. I noticed a pattern, tho. No one lost composure recalling the damage Trump had inflicted....No one cried over Good or Pretti.... People became emotional relating how their whole community had bravely rallied to defeat a threat to a part of their community.

For Pete's Sake, can he do nothing right? DC's Meridian Hill Park Fountain Trump promised to ‘beautify’ turns brown. I'm starting to think he's ruining things on purpose so he can blame it on Democrats.

The “Platner team” needs to go away and leave us alone. We have had enough of you.

Happy birthday RINGO STARR! Thank you for the joy you’ve given me and other Beatle fans since we first saw you on the Ed Sullivan Show all those years ago.

Americans are now so used to their president cheating and breaking rules that many of them seem genuinely not to understand why the world was rooting for Belgium.

Catnip lotion as effective as Deet at repelling mosquitoes, study finds

While scientists have long braced for climate change, the growing severity of its impacts is shocking them. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Assuming he is dropping out, which I believe is imminent, whoever replaces Platner in the Maine Senate race is going to need a fuckton of our help. We can flip that seat! We HAVE to!

This is a really moving and thoughtful interview

I'm struck by the irony of Trump going to bat for Balogun days Stephen Miller warned that birthright citizenship = civilization suicide.

people need to go to jail over this, its the only thing the democratic party should be saying right now. all of them, in unison, no matter the question or topic, needs to be saying “insider trading is against the law”

On America’s 250th anniversary, NOW celebrates freedom—not authoritarianism. We will always fight for democracy, equality, and the rights of all people. The promise of America is worth defending. @kimvillanueva.bsky.social, National NOW President

Trump is preparing to fire the leadership of the Smithsonian Institution, one of America's most prestigious scientific and historical research and education organizations. He wants in particular to censor the Smithonian's American History exhibits:

👍

This reminds me that there are more of us, than there are of them. Let's never forget how much power we have, especially now.

The GOP does not want the Democratic Governor of Kentucky, Andy Besher, to appoint a Dem (or Thomas Massie?) to fill McConnell's seat for 5 months. Rank politics. My best guess is McConnell is in a coma.

“Virginia State Sen. L. Louise Lucas, the Black woman who led Virginia’s redistricting push and was punished for it with a federal raid on her office, called it ‘God’s plan to educate them.’” Via @lebassett.bsky.social www.laura-bassett.com/p/maga-famil...

Senator Jon Ossoff is absolutely killing it.

The humanities have been so denigrated and dumped on in recent decades, who could possibly have known critical thinking skills would eventually come in handy? 🫠

FEARLESS Black Americans have been confronting hatred with dignity for generations.

I love fireworks and the Fourth of July, but this onslaught of thousands of fireworks over DC is the gaudiest display I've ever seen. Literally a product of little men who have no taste, believing the biggest and loudest of something makes it better.

The fireworks are a big incoherent mess. And it’s downright embarrassing that they’ve got exclusively white artists singing Earth, Wind & Fire, Prince and Stevie Wonder. The otherwise excellent military bands have a thankless job during Trump’s administration —having to please that taste-free oaf.

The way so many of you motherfuckers turned on this good, decent man will be a stain on your lives forever.

A coalition of anti-Trump protesters marched in DC this afternoon with a 700-foot banner carrying the Constitution’s preamble, followed by thousands of signatures calling for an end to authoritarianism and political violence.

I will uplift the good folks at Free DC who can always use more people and resources: freedcproject.org

4th of July in front of the White House in 100*F heat

Anti-Trump protesters marching towards the White House on July 4th, chanting "8647" This is what real patriots look like. 🇺🇸

“Major Jason Watson risked his career and future to stand up for what’s right. History remembers those who were willing to risk everything when silence would have been safer. This is what courage looks like.”

Born into poverty during peak Jim Crow, Ray Charles stood against the system that sought to keep him destitute. He famously fought against segregation until the state that banned him apologized & made his song their state anthem. Brother Ray loved America & made her better as a result.

We could have had it all America.

That’s it, No other reason…. “To the people asking what Obama did to make Republicans hate him, he's black and he won. That's it. There's no other reason. You can stop asking.”

"For it is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake."

🚨DC Independence Day Parade CANCELED due to extreme heat

So, folks, what we really should do is retire and move to Philadelphia and buy this 9BR, 1BA historic 1798 mansion, but only if the crazy art conveys! Just $995K for 9K sf! #FridayNightZillow www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

Me: "I want to live in a walkable city with good public transit, great food, and fun events." Me reading #FridayNightZillow: I WANT TO LIVE IN A LIGHTHOUSE

On the eve of OUR 250th, plz do better next for the next 250 America! “We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal.” Black Brown Poor LGBTQ+ Immigrants (they get the job done) Disabled Elderly All PEOPLE! It’s the beauty of our (sometimes) great nation! #Pinks

So judges orders are optional now?

Just think, 250 years on, what the founders would see if they visited us today.

I’ll bet it’s still possible for folks outside DC to have a great Fourth of July, but Trump has sapped all the fun out of what has always been the greatest holiday of the year in DC. Too bad the American voters gave him the 250th to ruin.

Hey Republicans, how about admitting that you’ve been wrong all along in denying that humans are causing climate change? And how about joining the Democrats to do something about it now?

This heat wave brought to you by ExxonMobil and Chevron.

Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent. It is every march led under the heavy sun. It is every protest held a decade before its time. It is precisely because we love this nation. Need some #July  inspiration? Listen to @mayor.nyc.gov 🇺🇸

And I’ve never understood why. What didn’t they see that the rest of us saw?
