live the kind of life that has MUSEUMS posting nicely about you lmao

Summer 2015. Several lifetimes ago. A different America. Lindsey Graham, running for president, says this about Joe Biden. The same summer he said Trump would “kill” the GOP with his hateful comments. Several lifetimes ago. A different America.

This Christian pastor made it safely from one city to another, but he’s still blaming the crew because ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “A straight man’s appearance seems to be an increasingly important expression of his masculinity,” Kate Manne writes in a guest essay. “I suggest the male gaze, long trained on women, is turning on straight men too.”

I made a website that lets you cut out old magazines from the internet archive (or any PDFs you own) and make collage art out of them: ✂️ clipart.studio

Lyman stone is a christofascist freak and it is insane that people pay attention to any of the nonsense he says

NY Tmes exec editor Joe Kahn said in 2024 that the issue of democracy's survival was not a top priority in his newsroom's coverage. Now Trump is sending federal agents to NYT reporters' homes to deliver subpoenas over coverage he doesn't like. I wonder if democracy is a priority for Joe now.

An absolutely fascinating reframing of my recent Image series SLEEP (now collected in hardcover and TPB) that names and weighs the various moral philosophies at play in both the protagonist's and the townsfolk's actions. A very cool analysis of something I only meant to be a ripping yarn!

The victim's brother said that ICE agent approached from the passenger side of the car, stuck his hand in through the window, and opened fire. He says that ICE officers kept shooting even as the car had come to a stop and was put into park.

THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD #197, written by Alan Brennert with art by Joe Staton and George Freeman (cover by Jim Aparo!), has to be one of my fav Batman stories ever. Packed with heart, wonderful character moments, and cutting right to the core of so many characters - particularly Batman and Catwoman.

Graham Platner just posted a video claiming he "intends to withdraw" and that he's "suspending" his campaign. I think he's lying. I think this is strategy. It's Nixonian. Let me explain. (thread)

You want this!

Predictable and completely infuriating. ICE appears to have concocted the same story as in the murder of Renee good— that victim “weaponized his vehicle” & ir was self-defense.The victim had been in the country 35 years raised three sons never a criminal violation. share.google/dVxYFTgjJ24p...

mmigration judges have issued more than 10,000 removal and voluntary departure orders each month for immigrant minors who either migrated alone or with relatives, according to a ProPublica analysis.

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

Bravo to these judges, who are traveling around the country to educate the public about the importance of the rule of law!

The US no longer has a refugee program. There are many nouns to accurately describe a whites-only visa, but ‘refugee program’ is not one of them. Congress created and sustained our refugee program with bipartisan support over generations. Now Congress allows one person to simply terminate it.

Some thoughts on different communicative goals we pursue when blaming the dead. blog.apaonline.org/2026/07/02/w...

What about them dirty communists, you say?

This is really absurd given how frankly weirdly explicit the statute is that the Kennedy Center is meant to honor JFK and absolutely nobody else.

I think the Platner thing hit me so hard bc it was one of the most protracted, widespread acts of misogynist gaslighting from my own side that I've seen. We were presented with an obvious violent scumbag who was constantly lying (badly, might I add) and told we were crazy for not loving him

He says exactly the same things about a lot of Americans.

It’s getting trite but if this were Biden the NYT would have a full spread about his unfitness for office

Most unis, including mine, have left it up to the professors to deal with this stuff on their own, including us having to reinvent the way we teach and measure learning wholesale.

not me googling "section sign" for the millionth time because it's easier to cut and paste from the wikipedia page devoted to the section sign than it is to navigate Word's insert symbol menu in search of § ...

I was deeply frustrated by the multiple news outlets portraying the slim 5-4 SCOTUS vote in Trump v Barbara as a "win" and the Court as "independent." No, it was a reprieve with more anti-constitutional and anti-democratic machinations to come. This piece captures the looming threat.

“Trump believes the country, and all its people, and all its money, and all its law enforcement, exist to make sure he wins...We are living under the dictatorship of the absolutely smallest man alive. That makes all of us smaller as well.” 🎯🎯 By @nberlat.bsky.social in @atrupar.com’s PN:

This should be great! I know Reed from his book “Slugfest” The battle between DC and Marvel. This one is worth supporting too! Check out E. Nelson Bridwell: First Fan by Reed Tucker on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/ree...

"Just get to the right result." Stop with all the "originalism" articles and debates. It's a fig leaf, post hoc justification for the desired result. Focus should be on the political science attitudinal model reflecting the shit ton of research on how ideology correlates with legal outcomes.

The Republican Party is a big tent, consisting of people who are pedophiles and people who protect them.

Nothing to do with these two, but it reminds me that "dating" is a frustratingly vague term that could describe any level of engagement (short of being engaged).

If there was any doubt that Gov Jared Polis’ legacy is freeing Tina Peters, the NYT reports Polis just fired the clemency board members who revealed he overruled their unanimous wishes www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

Both Dems & Republicans have developed a conception of the Presidency as the locus of all political action It is a lot to ask for the 2028 democratic nominee to run on nuking the imperial presidency, as I called for several months ago in @liberalcurrents.com, but that is the Reconstruction we need

🚨BREAKING: In the latest blow to President Donald Trump’s anti-voting agenda, a federal court on Wednesday granted the NAACP’s request to halt the U.S. Postal Service’s (USPS) implementation of his executive order against mail voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

But deaths caused by citizens are just fine? Understood, Markwayne.

every time I see Miller do one of these tv hits I think, excellent job sir, please go on tv as the face of this administration as much as is humanly possible

The National Endowment for the Arts stage has a solo performer up there right now. He is playing an audience of one. He just urged her to follow him on Instagram. I have seen larger audiences at 8am academic panels. I feel bad for the guy.

Q: Are there any downsides to this new technology? A: Let’s recall that the printing press had its naysayers, and yet global history since 1500 has been characterized by uninterrupted progress and universal human betterment.
