Happy Pride Month!

A warning to anyone planning to attend a World Cup game: Do not attend a World Cup game in the United States. Even American citizens are at risk of being kidnapped, beaten, murdered, or placed in an inhumane detention facility. A football (soccer) game is not worth the risk. STAY HOME!!

I like First Ladies who weren’t escorts for Jeffrey Epstein.

The FBI found it credible enough to highlight in its own PowerPoint presentation and the DOJ still won't release notes from multiple interviews with the victim.

Republican law students looking around and thinking 'mmmmthis is gonna all be over soon and being involved could be...bad for me' seems like a good thing

Incredible. A+, 10/10, no notes

If at this point you’re not assuming Trump is personally getting a cut of everything going through the White House you just haven’t been paying attention.

That's a great point. There should be a master list of EU and US bad-take-havers.

Once again: German universities were the envy of the world before the Nazis rose to power and took an ideological wrecking ball to the entire enterprise. If you want to know how long it took for German universities to recover… they haven’t.

A legend, an icon and a trailblazer.

Susan Collins has one of the best performing stock portfolios in the Senate. That should be illegal.

In case you've asked why I call him Creole Leo

Our tech journalist gambled his family’s life savings on a hunch that A.I. could outperform a real estate agent over five frantic days. Here's how he did it.

I think about this a lot.

ah the Peace President

Because Louisiana of course

Remember: it was like pulling teeth to get Republicans to fund the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. But it took them no time at all to create a $1.8 billion Insurrection Slush Fund to pay off the legal fees of the January 6th rioters who beat cops. These are sick, corrupt people.

Have you been injured? #slushfund

This is easily the saddest time in American history. The absolute worst people are systematically destroying the country, and our system is completely failing to stop them.

1. Egg potato and cheese tacos are incredible 2. The evidence for it being a “debate” is that a Republican said something about it hoping an article like this would get written bsky.app/profile/anam...

The thing about Patel — and everyone in this admin — is that they do the *absolute worst fucking thing possible* IN EVERY SCENARIO. Like, “Patel went to Hawaii and then did a luxury snorkel trip” -somewhere- would he corrupt, but expected. Why, of all places, at a sacred site?? That takes effort

During his last term, Trump had a temporary Attorney General who once shilled for a company that made a “masculine toilet” There seems to be a theme here. One that reeks of compensation

Trump is just soooooooo easy to play.

CARTOON OF THE DAY 😕🇺🇸 (From @andertoon.bsky.social )

This shows just how the US has declined. Xi told Trump to back away from Taiwan and what is Trump’s first comment after the summit? This, he might not support an already agreed arms sale to Taiwan. He is dancing to Xi’s tune.

this truly is the thing that makes the united states exceptional, and right wingers hate it so much they want to destroy it

Why is a 76-year-old man doing all the hard work in this moment? Where are the Millennial/Gen Z artists (ahem, Taylor Swift) to shake their audiences into sobriety about what is going on? open.substack.com/pub/saltypol...

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “In an age of information and choice abundance, we assume we can find the best of everything if we look long and hard enough,” David Epstein writes. “But searching for the best is the wrong goal.”

Thank you! Also, I really been calling for this for years.

Far from demonstrating American prowess, as supporters of the war have repeatedly claimed, the conflict has revealed an America that is unreliable and incapable of finishing what it started. That is going to set off a chain reaction around the world as friends and foes adjust to America’s failure."

Robert Kagan: "Defeat in the present confrontation can neither be repaired nor ignored...The roles of China and Russia are strengthened; the role of the U.S. diminished...That is going to set off a chain reaction as friends and foes adjust to America’s failure." www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

The best argument re: Virginia decision I’ve heard. Also, even when Democrats win, we lose, because we haven’t been rigging the game like Republicans.

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

Accurate.

Your regular reminder that when David Duke ran for statewide office in the early 1990s, the MAJORITY of white Louisiana voters pulled the lever for him. This was AFTER they’d seen the pictures of Duke in a Klan outfit and a Nazi uniform.

Big thanks to Joe Rogan and @jaketapper.bsky.social for this.
