Another victory out of NH. We don't win everything, but pressuring a MAGA governor to do the right thing on any trans rights is a success.

830 wildfires burning across Canada right now. And you know what’s going to make it worse in the future? More oil pipelines. This is why our voice and our vote matters.

the "who won the 2020 election" question is the world's easiest litmus test to determine if a Trump appointee is going to be a hack, because every single one of them can't answer the question and every single one of them is, inevitably, a hack every Dem should vote no on all of them

Trump said on Wednesday morning that ICE should continue making vehicle stops, appearing to contradict his own administration’s suspension of the stops following federal officers fatally shooting two men within a week. Clearly, while Trump's still in office, ICE isn't changing anytime soon.

China invented the public competitive exam to bypass accusations of nepotism and cheating in public jobs in the 7th century almost immediately it too became a central node of nepotism and cheating, this just is what we always do

Two Minnesota solar farms seeded native wildflowers under their panels, and 5 years of counting revealed native bees had multiplied twentyfold, then crossed the fence to pollinate the neighbour's soybeans

Excellent piece. He was the perfect Twitter candidate and it was interesting to see who brought that energy here to Bluesky. Really set down some markers dividing the "I'm glad I don't need to be on Twitter" crowd vs the "I wish this place was new Twitter" crowd

we know you’re still his lawyer, he knows you’re still his lawyer, and republicans will vote to confirm you anyway because they don’t believe in rule of law except insofar as the ruler makes the laws

With 22 confirmed deaths since January 1st, more people have died in ICE custody in the first 6.5 months of 2026 than in the 3 full calendar years from Jan 2022 to Dec 2024 (21).

ICE facility for who now

Q: Will this change on vehicle stops lower the rate of deportations? HOMAN: No. No. I'm sick and tired of reading about how the administration has lost their guts with mass deportation. Do you know that ICE last month arrested more aliens than any month in the history of the agency?

This is amazing news. I still think we should brand everybody who ever worked there with a cattle iron but it’s gone.

Ossoff and Warnock should sue Trump on Thursday at 10pm. Bury him in discovery.

Of course they did, because it's a horrible freaking idea that we already tried and rejected once.

This is I believe the third incident where ICE has gone to arrest people, they flee, and someone is hit by a car or other vehicle and dies. In this case, ICE officers went to question some people at a gas station, they panicked, and one of them ran into the road and was hit by a truck.

More than $80 million owed to Carroll is still in dispute in a different case.

POCAN: I think the problem is you're talking to rich people. Maybe this will help. Who pays tariffs? LOEFFLER: 80% of tariffs are paid by foreign countries POCAN: Okay. That would be like me saying I have long flowing red hair. It's complete BS. Small businesses pay tariffs.

I know plenty of lovely Indianans, but I’m just popping in to say at the KKK’s peak in the 1920s, Indiana had the highest membership, ~30% of all white Protestant men statewide. With few Jews or Black people, they focused on hatred of anti-Catholic immigrants — people like Bovino’s granddad!

In Houston, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo’s eldest son told Prism, “A person’s legal status should not determine the right to live.” On July 7, ICE agents in an unmarked car chased & stopped the 52-year-old father of three before fatally shooting him in the abdomen, Uyiosa Elegon reports.

Do you ever think about how the Soviet Union dried up a whole sea

OPINION: "American police shoot and injure or kill approximately 130 people each year who were perceived by officers as using a vehicle in a threatening way. Such shootings account for more than 7% of all people struck by police gunfire," John Shjarback writes.

The whole thing with the last two ICE murders where the person they killed was not the person they were looking for? Well guess what, *that* person also shouldn't be murdered by ICE either.

This is precisely the issue - trans participation in sports - that @mattyglesias.bsky.social says we should moderate on. Gotta endorse genital inspections if you wanna win those swing states!

Ideally I don’t think politicians need to be emphasizing how masculine or feminine they are. This obsession with asserting traditional gender roles is a very clear conservative agenda and it’s a bunch of made up bullshit anyways

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

A question for every American: How many innocent people does ICE have to kill in cold blood, before you are outraged enough to get out on the street and say "NO, ENOUGH!"? One is too many for us. It could be you, your family member, or a neighbor next.

Reminder: Susan Collins voted for more ICE funding.

AOC: I said this a couple of weeks ago: I would not be surprised if, when ICE funding started up again, we would start to see more civilian deaths at the hands of ICE. And that’s exactly what has happened. We didn’t see things like this happening with the same degree when we froze ICE funding.

ALL EYES ON ICE

Trump doesn’t force people to do bad things. All he did was show people they could get away with being horrible if they really wanted to, and a lot of powerful people decided they didn’t need to pretend anymore. Especially those in influential positions who could push back but did not.

Any vote for a republican is a vote for war and destruction

Don't be this guy

He's very good at going "Your concern trolling is orthogonal to the responsibilities of my role"

There's an OMB rule change that would require political oversight of scientific grants, and could pull any that don't "reflect presidential priorities" Another country has tried this before! It was the USSR and it was called Lysenkoism. By @thsaey.bsky.social www.sciencenews.org/article/omb-...

Shenna Bellows joins Troy Jackson and Nirav Shah in naming the Gaza genocide a genocide and pledging no weapons aid for Israel—something that's becoming a necessary prerequisite for Democratic candidates

ICE agents must be tried for the murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo.

"It’s not a real convention. The RNC hasn’t written any rules for this. It’s just this grifter free-for-all.” Vip seats are going for $250,000. No platform. No candidate.

They’re trying to deport the men who witnessed the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. newrepublic.com/article/2129...

The reason Trump screamed “RIGGED!” about the 2020 election was so that he could cheat and rig the 2024 election as much as he wanted. Because if anyone says the word ‘rigged’ now, even if it is, you sound like him. This is an old Nazi tactic.

Nanobubblers are water-purification machines meant to fight algae. Encased in black fencing and powered by generators, they were considered an eyesore. Before the UFC fight, the Park Service asked Greenwater Services to remove them. The algae moved in. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/26/u...

Meta’s AI data-center in Cheyenne, Wyoming, has been caught infecting the town’s water supply with deadly bacteria. Officials say wastewater from Meta’s AI data-center flooded the town’s pipes with the bacterium Cupriavidus gilardii, and they found the company violated industrial waste regulations.
