BREAKING: Federal judge finds that Trump's IRS suit was improper because Trump controlled both sides of the litigation. Judge Kathleen Williams also sanctions Trump's lawyers, issues monetary sanctions, and harshly criticizes DOJ's "untenable" conduct. More to come at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

Torontonians: U of T's school of urban research is crowdsourcing a short two-question survey where all you need to do is draw what you consider the borders of your neighborhood on a map carte.utoronto.ca/neighbourhoo...

Timeline cleanse: You're watching Mei & Kira, two sea otters (Enhydra lutris) at the Toba Aquarium in Japan, help clean the pool area after playtime. The reward is an ice treat. Enrichment activities like this promote mental wellness. Let's talk about the SUCCESS of sea otter conservation.

talking about gay and black people's history as "degeneracy" is right out of the white supremacist playbook and the mainstream media REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS because theyre too busy typing up their gossipy "scoops" from the admin

who else is low-key celebrating by dipping their fries in mayo today

BREAKING: US to withdraw from the International Court of Poetic Justice.

NEW: US Ambassador Pete Hoekstra hosted over a dozen far-right activists and right-wing media personalities at his ‘Fourth of July’ party in Ottawa this weekend The US Embassy says Freedom Convoy leader Tamara Lich, who was convicted on criminal charges last year, was accredited as a journalist

F#ck Jared Kushner and Ivanka Much Respect and Good Thoughts to the Albania People! p.s. Albanians you are 100% correct - this is the MOST corrupt GOV in the World

In the well-over 100,000 documents written by founders included in the Founders Online database from the National Archives, no one uses the phrase "God's noble experiment." No one.

Trump celebrating Balogun’s eligibility to play for Team USA when his administration would strip Balogun’s citizenship tomorrow if he didn’t play world class soccer is really a chef’s kiss.

Solid opinion piece from Lloyd Axworthy, former Canadian MP and Foreign Affairs Minister, and former Chair of the World Refugee and Migration Council

Screw 2026! I’m happy remembering the summer of 1976, when my college roommate and I hitchhiked (most of the way) across the US and back. This atlas came in handy!

I would kill or die for Larry

Israel is telling Canada what we can display in our museums. It's no wonder they hate a museum dedicated to human rights. We should send a letter to the Israeli embassy telling them that any Canadians serving in the IDF kill squads will be investigated for war crimes if they return to Canada.

Happy Canada Day, the bar is so low. 😑

These guys are giving credit to the Supreme Court, which only affirmed this by a 5-4 decision. They should be excoriating the justices who voted against this.

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.

Justice Sotomayor read her dissent from the bench. It reads in part: "Today, this Court undoes centuries of political practice and concludes that all three branches of Government have been acting in open defiance of the Constitution all this time. Its conclusion is wrong."

These people are performing for grass.

Mayor Mamdani took the mayor's Inaugural Swim in east Harlem this morning to open the city's pool season. (Look out for sea hags, Zohran!) Naturally, he wore his swimsuit.

Everyone should prepare themselves for the Supreme Court to rule against birthright citizenship. I’ve seen a lot of people on here say “SCOTUS couldn’t possibly rule that way” about other cases and then the Six Injustices go right ahead and rule that way.

Whatever America has done with the Overton Window, it’s not to code.

The ICE agent who killed Renee Good is named Jonathan Ross, and he should be indicted. www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

Excellent piece by @justinling.ca (see 2nd post in 🧵 for gift link if needed)

look upon my emoluments ye mighty and despair

We could start by getting rid of all the Scientology and Scientology-adjacent cultists in Trump’s orbit.

This is an example of why “Epstein Class” is a phrase that gets side-eye from the Jewish community.

Good piece, including the reference to Netanyahu as Trump’s “brother-in-harms”.

"blue-haired city-dwelling Green-adjacent trans-lovers" is probably too long to be a good band name, but it's at least campaign t-shirt worthy

New: DOJ has rejected a US judge’s invitation for Acting AG Todd Blanche and other top officials to submit a statement under penalty of perjury that a $1.8 billion fund for what the Trump admin described as victims of political “weaponization” will not happen www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Important!! Groups, including Amnesty International, launch Canadian constitutional challenge of Canada’s “safe third country” agreement vis-à-vis the US.

This is embarrassing. It doesn't take a PhD in international relations to understand that the war with Iran was a tremendously costly setback in international security. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

Attn: @cycletoronto.bsky.social

This is not part of the agreement. He is making this up. Iran agrees to give up NOTHING on their nuclear program in this deal.

Spider-Noir. That is all.

Memories of Rob Ford at the Pride flag raising he attended the one time

Whatever happened to the pilot that got shot down over Iran in an obviously FUBAR attempt to get the nuclear materials Trump now claims are ‘no big deal’ you know the guy that walked across a desert and climbed a mountain w/a broken leg?

Some excellent news out of Germany!

“…the fact of the matter is, those stop signs are there to regulate speed, not right of way; two-way stops actually do a better job of that. And bikes have a hard time beating the speed limit”. Bravo @lloydalter.bsky.social!

Gotta wonder whether this is not ALSO retaliation over the Kennedy Center.

The woman who won the lawsuit to protect the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is U.S. Representative Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio). PLEASE give credit where it's due. #BlackExcellence #KennedyCenter

please watch this for your own mental health

Almost stayed home because of that crazy squall…but I persevered. So excited to see this on the big screen and to be in John Sayles’ presence.

What say you, @evansolomon.bsky.social? “With respect, this public consultation looks like a sham. It appears to ignore all the guidelines that the Government is supposed to follow. It makes me think that the airport approval is a foregone conclusion.” #canpoli #Toronto

Ken Paxton's impeachment defense lawyer just endorsed James Talarico. Dan Cogdell says his former client "has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas."

“…my disappointment in Doug Ford is well founded. I don't think he's a good premier. My disappointment in Olivia Chow is well founded, because I don't think she's a good mayor. My disappointment in the federal Liberal caucus in Toronto is heartbreaking…”Same, Greg Sorbara, same.
