That’s Trump’s yearbook photo, age 17. Remarkable that he thinks he was still attending his high school military academy at age 20. 🤪

Katie Phang deserves our thanks for her increasingly successful fight to get the full Epstein files released.

Everything is like this now One of the battles of our generation will be to destroy all efforts to dismiss truth as a central ingredient for how we process the world I remember when JD Vance said he doesn’t regret lying about Haitians because ‘it started a conversation’ It’s why I hate GenAI too.

Reporter-source confidentiality is the lifeblood of investigative journalism. Whistleblowers in a position to expose abuses won’t trust journalists to protect them, and won’t come forward, if they believe reporters will be threatened with financial ruin for not outing them in court.

Tens of thousands celebrated Budapest Pride, the first since Viktor Orbán’s ousting.

I'm being a bad bluesky elder, but. I said British humour is often being mean to you and getting mad when you don't laugh along, and Thommo here, who is searching for people being insufficiently respectful to the English, helpfully proved my point. Tom, buddy, I was just bantering!

Trump’s Board of Peace plans to grant itself sweeping immunity, documents show www.theguardian.com/law/2026/jun...

some days, repeating “hope is a discipline” to myself is key to making it through. thanks always to @prisonculture.bsky.social for this insight

When the Republican National Committee (RNC) called for an army of 100,000 poll watchers in 2024 – in alignment with the Trump campaign’s prejudicial declarations of voter fraud – Norton was tapped to serve as its election integrity director. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is why we practice gratitude and share pictures of cats. The world is objectively bad right now and it would be wrong to deny that But if you can find hope for a better tomorrow, for a better today, you will be happier. You’ll make others happier. And you’ll be a better fighter.

Ossoff: "This is what happens when you send your son in law Jared to cosplay as a diplomat. Despite zero qualifications, Prince Jared was tapped to lead Middle East diplomacy. Now remember Jared's slush fund already got $2 billion from the Saudi Crown Prince ... "

To answer everyone's question: Yes, this is bad for the suit, as water can shrink the different layers inside at different rates (face cloth, haircloth, canvas, and padding). If this happens, the damage can't be reversed. That said, I admire his commitment to wearing a suit at all times.

Ossoff: "Just think, 250 years on, what the Founders would see if they visited us today. *crowd groans* But wait -- they would see that slavery had been abolished. They would see that Americans without land, and then women, and then the descendants of slaves had secured voting rights ... "

Pope Leo to Cardinals: “We must not resign ourselves to violence. Violence will not have the last word. God continues to open paths of reconciliation and peace in history. We have the responsibility to walk them with courage and to help the world recognize them.”

My new Zuri dress (just opened, not ironed) feels very appropriate for the weather. Also, they ship from the UK now!

Does Trump know how passports work?

MYTH CAN MAKE REALITY MORE INTELLIGIBLE

During #Pride and every day: LGBTIQ+ refugee rights are human rights. No exceptions, no compromises, no discrimination.

Controversial take perhaps, but I think you can install air-conditioning and shutdown data centers at the same time. maybe even steal all the air-conditioning units from the data centers and install them in public housing. Then run them off solar and battery while taxing the hyper rich to death

>100 ppm higher than when I was born, 100 ppm higher than 1976 and the big UK heatwave. Join the dots.

People also assume that the natural state of the housing market is for housing prices to just go up forever relative to inflation because that's what they've done over the last 30 years in large cities. This leads to the idea that home ownership intrinsically "builds wealth". No it doesn't.

Trump’s sham religious commission just released their report, and it’s what we all feared. They want to tear down the wall between church and state and inject extreme beliefs into the government. That's not religious freedom. It's an abuse of power that threatens the rights of every American.

Rando Mel Brooks story: A million years ago when my dad was in the movie biz, we went to the commissary at Warner Bros (Maybe 20th C Fox) & Brooks came in. Said: wonder what I’ll have for lunch? Then went to a few tables, tasting what they were eating, kibitzing all the while. Charmed everyone.
