Yay baseball w/ fascists! Zero Opposition Party, not even close; these people are a dangerous fucking joke, the lowest bar possible. It's a room full of people who are "colleagues" with fascists, who protect their capital at all cost & do the bare minimum to gaslight enough people to get reelected.

Oops! Looks like the Arkansas National Guard deleted the video we shared yesterday where they treated a DC and Free DC flag like souvenirs of a conquering army. DC deserves dignity and respect — not insulting behavior like this from soldiers here to satisfy Trump’s disgusting and deranged desires.

“I heard this case like last week, and I thought it was a crock of shit then, and I still think it is."

This is fantastic. By siding with MAHA/MAGA authoritarianism, the ADA did a superb job of getting eyes on this editorial criticizing MAHA/MAGA leaders for destroying science 🙃

I spoke with a trio of hardcore American soccer fans who have traveled for World Cup tournaments in the past but are opting out of this competition in various ways. Call it FIFA Fatigue, fans who should be locked in for the 2026 tournament but instead are on the sidelines.

I wonder if this fucking war criminal will still have the jokes at his American Nuremberg Trial.

Brought to you by the filthy bigots who try to demonize our trans neighbors for sport and as "politics," lie constantly and egregiously about gender affirming care, and are daily trying to strip away all of our basic human rights.

A record-shattering drought has racked much of the United States. But the artificial intelligence industry is pushing ahead regardless, with the majority of planned data centers set to be built in drought-ridden locations, @theguardian.com analysis has found.

new from @tusk81.bsky.social: A year after communities were terrorized by masked mass deportation agents, U.S. citizens and immigrants are fighting for justice. "Immigrants are human beings with legal rights, and we intend to use every available legal tool to hold those responsible accountable”

I'm really not OK with this. A premiere British medical journal that has been a reference for global health researchers for decades continues to maintain a social media account on a website whose owner foments race riots and destroyed USAID, a leading global health agency. Leave X @thelancet.com

Musk functionally ran the US government for 6 months last year and managed to: increase spending, slash services, kill 100,000s, and help nurture both Ebola & Screwworms. Yet somehow no one mentions this when they talk about the company he is going to take public this week.

While we're on the subject of how @ussoccer.com presents us to the rest of the world, check out this clownery. We went to the World Cup send-off game and got these free tshirts. People actually get paid green American money to come up with this embarrassing shit.

We come into this world with the capacity for sadness as part of our human nature, but finding joy requires conscious effort and dedication and learning to find how to co-exist with sadness.

Happy hump day from the Imperial Boomerang. Just know that there will come a fucking reckoning for these frightened, ignorant, dangerous bigots riding roughshod over our basic human rights. If our electeds lack the integrity to accomplish that, the people will absolutely step up. Bet.

These researchers are protecting Appalachian biodiversity. 🦎 Virginia Tech students and faculty are surveying a rare salamander, the eastern hellbender, to better understand and protect them. Their work informs conservation decisions and highlights the biodiversity of Appalachia.

“As fascists, we don’t like black people, we don’t like immigrants, we don’t like gay people, we don’t like trans people, we don’t like democrats, we don’t like people on the right less fascist than us. Who don’t you like?” “I don’t like fascists.” “Wow, you’re so intolerant.”

"The Trump administration has thrown billions at purging non-white people from this country. Most of that has ended up in the hands of ICE, which has — in turn — thrown hundreds of millions at a number of private companies offering bespoke and/or off-the-shelf surveillance solutions."

Totally. If I were in Dem leadership, I'd invoke Congress's constitutional duty to "Guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government" and, in the same breath, explain that's why Congress must end partisan gerrymandering and strip the Court of power to interfere.

America’s 250th birthday celebration is replacing history with toxic myth | Judith Levine

Black LGBTQ+ folks navigate racism, homophobia, and transphobia in healthcare, often facing discrimination, lack of affirming providers, and barriers to access. Pride is about more than visibility, it’s about equity, safety, and care that actually affirms people for who they are.
