Or as @naomiaklein.bsky.social put it:

Correct. They're going to trot out a 7-2 decision that acknowledges the sky is blue and they expect that's going to make everyone forget all of this insane fuckery. The Supreme Court must be reformed, and soon.

Dude was a real one (also, kinda weird of me to use past tense here). For those unaware:

The corruption is completely out in the open

Love to catch up with my buddy, the heir to an international manufacturing conglomerate, during my meetings with foreign diplomats.

Nimitz class carrier further west than typically spotted in the Sea of Oman. Once again almost certainly the Lincoln but can't definitively say it isn't the the Bush.

I think a lot of it is folks negatively polarizing against the US so hard that they fall off the edge of the map and decide some of its long-time adversaries must therefore be good, when in many (most!) cases, despite very serious US problems, those countries did very very much worse things

These sentences are insane www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Once again, as I’ve noted multiple times before, Trump’s foreign policy isn’t really realist, or imperialist, or neoroyalist, or about spheres of influence, etc. Its sexual predation/abuse elevated the level of the state

“Gonyea was working as a poll worker Tuesday afternoon at the Central Library on Salina Street when agents called to meet with her … She said she did not want to meet them outside alone. ‘I’ve seen the news, especially in Minnesota,’ she said. ‘And I didn’t want anything to happen to me at all.’”

There’s been more elite Democrat anger at Democratic primary voters than outrage over the life imprisonment of anti-ICE protesters — including a couple whose only offense was printing zines. Look at what they choose to talk about with the media and what they ignore. It’s revealing!

A Venezuelan resident recorded himself running down the stairs of his apartment building as two powerful earthquakes struck the country. The video shows significant cracks in the stairwell.

Update: Cassidy and Rand Paul have flipped their votes on the war, helping defeat a second war resolution late Wednesday. Paul voted present; Cassidy voted with the president after getting a hastily arranged briefing at the WH.

Explaincars Drama: something, or someone, on this flight in this thread, smells so bad that the FA’s are trying to track it down, and it is so very bad, they are considering a diversion. That’s quite the smell event.

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

You can’t spent four years telling people the Republican Party is an existential threat to American democracy and has broken every law on the books, spend the following four years trying to pretend none of it happened, and expect to remain in office when the republicans come back to break more laws.

Dear musicians, Why the HELL are you not only subscribing to Spotify, but sharing links to your music there? Why are you helping this company grow, despite them throwing you under the bus every single chance they've had in the last decade? I legitimately can't wrap my head around this.

The Pentagon investigation is finished. Congress still hasn’t seen it. The families of Minab deserve answers—and so do we... hartmannreport.com/p/168-dead-c...

CNBC's website says "CNBC is the world leader in business news and real-time financial market coverage," which apparently means "sloppy anti-scientific conspiracy theories dredged up from the bowels of social media sites infested with Nazis."

Exactly 10 years since the Brexit vote, the verdict is in.

Remember when search just used to work?

Using criminal charges to scapegoat innocent people for the regime’s mistakes is about as authoritarian as it gets. www.reuters.com/world/us/peo...

Ukraine’s General Staff confirmed that Air Force units struck the Voronezh Semiconductor Devices Plant. The General Staff did not specify the type of missile used, referring only to "high-precision air-launched cruise missiles" — wording that most likely points to Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG

Brexit was a disaster for the U.K., in the same way that Trump's "Make America Great Again" has led to the global decline of the United States. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/22/o...

Reminder that DHS should be abolished, as should many of the agencies within it. HSI describes their mission as "investigations into the illegal movement of people, goods, money, contraband, weapons and sensitive technology." But they're guarding a pool so people can't see that Trump ruined it.

ICE/Geo drove into a demonstrator today.

As negotiations began in Switzerland, Trump was talking tough to Fox News and threatening to destroy Iran and kill the Iranian negotiators:

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to show up in full combat gear on a hot summer day to the pool he filled with algae because he gave a paint job to one of his cigar puffing cronies. you are ordered to stop tourists from touching the green water. good luck soldier

When sane people take over the federal government again, I really think they should tear down Trump’s gilded White House ballroom. And not simply because it’s a misguided priority, but because of what it truly represents.

"The Americans can't get the slime out of their capital's monument pool and will arrest you for touching it," sounds like the sort of lie they'd tell us in the Soviet Union so we'd stop bitching about bread lines.

Welp this post made me start watching, I'm on episode 3 already.

Took this video of a guy getting detained and a citation for putting his hand in the water an hour ago.

BBC got a crew into southern Lebanon — Israel’s “security zone.” All buildings are gone. All houses are gone. All humans are gone. The only thing that stands above the rubble is an Israeli flag. www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

“The entire National Science Foundation budget is less than what we spent in the first week of the war with Iran. The National Institutes of Health,… accounts for a fraction of 1 percent of all federal spending” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/20/o...

Truth to power. Specifically power this pathological liar should not have. All anyone needs to remember is that Vance is heavily involved in protecting Trump from what's in the Epstein files about him.

1. Demand impeachment 2. Make the case for impeachment 3. Invoke Rule IX and force votes on impeachment on a regular basis 4. Publicly lambaste anyone who defends the criminal currently destroying our nation 5. Repeat

A 22-year-old just got a $30 million investment valuing his new futures exchange at $300 million. He graduated Stanford, wrote for Thiel's Stanford Review, interned at Andreessen Horowitz. His mom? Pro-crypto Sen. Gillibrand, D-NY. Bipartisan capture in full bloom. fortune.com/2026/06/18/t...

Well can't reply to this directly so I have to use screenshot. It's people coping with the game release delays. That's all.

Zeno is reviving part of Vallecitos, essentially the only large scale hot cells in the country that were sitting unused. This is huge for them bc hot cells are necessary for assembling their radioisotope power systems #NukeSky www.ans.org/news/article...

Amazing news! Turns out nobody wants a concentration/ torture center in their neighborhood.

These declarations are made out in the open, now with automatic translation. Western politicians and commentators who pretend not to notice these grotesque declarations by *the national security minister of a state which their countries arm and fund* are complicit in them.

And while I am THOROUGHLY enjoying pointing and laughing at this administration's avoidable failures just like the rest of you, I WOULD like to see this problem solved sooner rather than later. Why? Many species of cyanobacteria are capable of producing cyanotoxins, 17/19

Clips are going viral of the new $14M paint on the Reflecting Pool peeling off just 12 days after the pool reopened.

We flew B2 bombers halfway around the world we fought for 40 days we killed their supreme leader and then we handed them $300 billion. That’s not a win that’s what happens when you give a clown a flamethrower. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...
