People are right to be mad about the predictable Platner fiasco, but it's worth remembering that last year a ton of establishment Democrats supported disgraced sexual harasser Andrew Cuomo against clean-as-a-whistle Zohran. Tolerating problem men is an issue across the ideological spectrum.

PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”

Trump not knowing what’s in America’s foundational texts is very on-brand.

That’s the Esmeralda from Chile. They teach the crew about human rights on that vessel because it was used as a torture center and prison by the Pinochet regime after his 1973 coup.

If you were cool with this, you can shove that "Happy Independence Day" up your ass.

Just after the battle of Gettysburg, Lt. Frank Haskell of Wisconsin set down his memories of the fight as he had witnessed it from his perspective as a division commander’s aide de camp. I like to revisit it every year because of the way Haskell uses his words to paint a vivid picture for the reader

We need your help, Heat Miser, you’re our only hope!

It's just like MAGA, except it wants a more tolerant, egalitarian society, where everyone has healthcare and the material prerequisites of a life of dignity. I guess from the perspective of the theater critics in media, that difference is invisible.

In ‘terrible but also funny’ news, the state of Florida is currently beefing with… An Coimisiún Le Rincí Gaelacha, aka the world’s largest and oldest governing body for Irish Dance because the NA championships are being held in Orlando and CLRG refuses to ban trans girls from competing as girls

If there was ever an ad to completely defame Yale as an institution, he’s a fucking living one. Yale let this creature graduate?

Supreme Court has to be dissolved at this point. Hell the entire government needs a new constitution and structure. But that ain’t happening until things get much, much worse. Hooray.

All of these cases are basically litmus tests for any Dem nominee. Are immigrants Americans? Do trans Americans deserve human rights? Are corporations superhumans who get to spend endlessly on elections to put whoever they want into power? These are simple questions with simple answers.

Trans rights are human rights always and forever.

The left yet again just giving the game to the right. If we don’t revolt, our elected Ds are going to sell us up the river.

I speak from experience: this will not have the outcome they’re hoping for

My not-so-hot take is that what Mamdani is doing *IS* incrementalism, and the bar is so deeply in hell that a politician just doing *anything* good consistently is a total anomaly for people. And I think for now that is good and fine, because it is restoring people’s faith that better is possible.

You don’t say…🤔

Not sure who created this, but it made me laugh out loud. 😏🤭😆

Establishment Dems continue with the absolutely unhinged rhetoric. McMorrow is asked if her attacks on Hasan Piker backfired as Abdul El-Sayed is surging in the polls, and she responds by invoking a terrorist attack against a synagogue in Michigan, implying Piker is somehow implicated?

The way that the Supreme Court drops opinions that change how we live our lives while a few of them pack for billionaire-funded summer vacations & how they don't take questions from the public or televise proceedings— all that feels antithetical to the very essence of American democracy

Burn it all down.

Everybody needs to go hear Naomi Oreskes explain how Monsanto manipulated the science to obscure health concerns about Roundup — including ghost-writing papers that became touchstones in their denialism.

Chef's kiss, salute, tears, all of it

Austria v Argentina: Fascism’s Hometown v Retirement Community

Me watching everyone with their Armageddon boxes…

Schools out and I’m not needed for jury duty next week? What can I say, everything’s coming up Milhouse.

It’s not algae. The reflecting pool is green because Brother Trump has embraced the Light of Islam

Is it just me or does it look like England are almost trying to run plays? They’re definitely calling the press but they’re looking for very specific long balls off sitting very deep.

>renames it to the Department of War >names himself the Secretary of War >fights one war >loses

If you like him and his advocacy, consider supporting the Dads Foundation, which coaches men to accept their trans kids unconditionally and spread the word. www.thedadsfoundation.org

They got raked over the coals and then bent over for extra good measure. Can’t let their followers see how much he fucked up. They’re going to try and destroy and delete so much evidence of everything they did that the courts aren’t going to have the capacity to bring them to justice.

I guess one difference between Jim Crow then and Jim Crow now is that we have cool graphics to show how it's done.

Would love for Haiti to get a result tonight. Sorry Scotland.

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

A society with one trillionaire and millions of people in poverty is something to be deeply ashamed of, actually

Okay that was a pretty good goal.

Hey! Own Goal! My favorite player!

World’s first trillionaire and he’s a fucking bigoted dork. Please explain to me how any form of omnipotent, kind deity would allow this to happen. Unquantifiable amounts of suffering. Oh well 🤷🏻

I, for one, am looking for to erecting ole Faithful when the entire economy evaporates because of what happened with SpaceX. Not to mention the fuel shortages were speedrunning into…

New contract got ratified. I mentioned two colleagues that I was glad to see I wasn’t the only one who voted no. I said I couldn’t vote myself to get poorer next year. And that I think every public school teacher should strike until we’re all making 50 grand more. They were really quiet after that.

Any countries in the market for an AP Environmental Science teacher? Because…yeah…😅

Steam Bulletfest shoulda coincided with July 4th Weekend. What better exemplifies a bulletfest like America’s “birthday”?
