This alone should be a decade-defining political scandal resulting in prison sentences.

The Kremlin has once again resurfaced the ‘Ukrainian chemical provocations’ FIMI narrative, one it has recycled countless times since 2022. Naturally, these claims have consistently failed to materialise and have never been supported by any credible evidence.

Your first reward: trying to leave the Azteca after dark.

for the first time in almost a thousand years, the universe has called upon Norway to crush the English

If you're a gay man, and you look at people who identify as queer, NB or trans, and you don't understand that their struggles are our struggles, then you're useless to any progressive moment. The arguments from this prim prisspot were bad when they were popular in the mid-'90s and they're worse now.

Don't want to speak ill of the dead, so getting this Mitch McConnell take out now. He saw Trump with complete clarity, as a danger to America, but protected him anyway. Perhaps more than anyone, he had the power to end Trumpism, but chose party over country. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/jan-6-and-...

Blatty: enemies? who could possibly hate my beloved Chicago pope?! [meanwhile] Peter Thiel: [sweating like a baked ham] the Chicago pope is in league with the gay catboy jews of the Chinese communist party and the space mutants, to elect greta Thunberg as Chicago antichrist Dan Simmons: sounds legit

I can't believe I have to say this but the point is not "corrupt World Cups are not new". It's that this specific World Cup has been a succession of "f**k yous" to various parts of the global football community, and this is the latest one. And I doubt it will be the last.

I was reminded of the passage when reading this part of @laurajedeed.bsky.social's thread on yesterday's celebration. The bipartisan effort set out to do this. Trump hijacked the effort so he could line his own pockets. bsky.app/profile/laur...

USAID saved lives. It follows almost by definition that abruptly gutting it kills people.

In other "excellent news from religious bodies", the US Presbyterian General Assembly has formally voted to start the process to (correctly) declare white Christian nationalism a theological error incompatible with the teachings of Jesus: pres-outlook.org/2026/07/pcus...

Daily Wire editor in chief Brent Scher alleging that the Trump administration, for some reason working in concert with the Southern Poverty Law Center despite pursuing criminal charges against the org, planted a white nationalist group in DC this morning.

Literally shut this entire industry down.

Shoutout to Cabo verde, the best World Cup team from a country with a population less than Wyoming

They tied the European champions. They tied Uruguay and sent Uruguay out of the tournament. This was not a one off. Cape Verde is for real

That was the greatest underdog story of the World Cup, thank you Cabo verde.

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

The right-wing attack on birthright citizenship is not just about birthright citizenship itself. As MAGA’s reaction to the Supreme Court ruling proves, it is part of their opposition to a broader ideal, that “All men are created equal.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Cast yourself as a villain.

This is how you do it. This is what we should be talking about rather than “no one’s doing anything,”

Time to Make America Grow Again

Like, even if that's her position, which... okay, sure, whatever, I guess... is it too much to ask that she not call trans girls "boys?" I know this is what @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social did in 2024, too. And it's just demeaning and disrespectful.

Many autistic adults have spoken about how traumatic they've found ABA therapy to be. What sucks is it often the only type of early intervention that's covered by insurance for autistic kids.

From @fox8live.com: A Louisiana grand jury has indicted Republican AG Liz Murrill for allegedly threatening New Orleans officials, but Gov. Jeff Landry says he'll "pardon her as fast as the law allows."

A foreign monarchy handed the President a $400 MILLION jet. Wednesday, it becomes Air Force One. Friday, it leads the July 4th flyover for America's 250th birthday. A gift from Qatar. Flying the President. On Independence Day. Let that one sink in, friend.

Two years ago, my colleagues and I were sued by Stephen Miller's America First Legal. The Hines v Stamos case — built atop a number of false allegations — was a central element of the "censorship industrial complex" myth. Today, that case was dismissed (by a Trump judge in LA). We won.

For years, I'd see people who write for big mainstream publications argue they aren't transphobic... they just had "reasonable concerns" about sports or medicine for trans teens. Why haven't any of them, who again, claim to not be anti-trans, spoken up about the other attacks on trans people?

Now that the government’s persecution of trans people has gone beyond sports and medicine for teens, where are all the people who insisted they weren’t "anti-trans" but just had some “reasonable concerns"? www.readtpa.com/p/reasonable...

I don't know about them, but I don't want to live in a world where a sore loser parent can get a girl on the opposing volleyball team hauled off for state mandated sexual abuse.

If a Supreme Court judge cannot read, understand and defend the 14th amendment, they cannot be a judge on the Supreme Court or anywhere The next democratic candidate for president must make Supreme Court reform a commitment

The lack of journalism on the bombing of Lebanon is proof how dystopian news publications are.

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.

Being American has little to do with how long your family has been in America. JD Vance disagrees, but, then, 1 in 6 immigrants have been here longer than him. www.ctinsider.com/columnist/ar...

I'm so sad. No one should be forced to remain closeted in order to meaningfully participate in the sports they love. That's what I was forced to do and no one should experience that.

if you're trans, you have to live. one day you can live to see these guys all die.

really cannot be emphasized enough that the drafters of the birthright clause very much considered cases analogous to undocumented immigrants and *included them too*

In a sane world (an alt reality) today's dissents would sufficient to warrant Thomas, Gorsuch and Alito's impeachment and removal from office. If you defy the plain words, meaning, intent, history, precedent of a black letter constitutional injunction u are abusing your power and should be removed.

SCOTUS reform won't just simply happen if Dems take Congress & the White House. A case has to be made for it—to a skeptical public, to reluctant politicians, to a hostile media. The blowback from the right will be intense and terrify a lot of weak-willed pols. The case has to be made starting *now*

In this Ohio town, it was tradition: Latin mass, biscuits at Bob Evans, and then down to the old department store to rape an acquaintance, defame her, and refuse to pay restitution. But now the woke mob wants to take that all away.

fixing the court is table stakes for any Dem running for national office, you are not a serious candidate if you can’t get on board with this and refusing to do so is disqualifying in a primary because it doesn’t matter what your policy positions are if SCOTUS will just overrule them

Appointing Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court may be the best thing Biden did in his entire term. "The Reconstruction Amendments were an anticaste, antisubordination reset for the Nation, not a mere spot treatment for the dark stain of slavery." She is the GOAT.

supreme court: here is some gruel while we grind your genitals into dust democrats: despite all the pressure against them the supreme court has once again reaffirmed the right to meals

5/ The vote on the constitutional question - the 14th Amendment - was only 5-4. Frankly, I'm shocked. So many of us underestimated how much Kavanaugh & Gorsuch care about historical evidence - and whether they even read the briefs. It has been a disastrous week for the Roberts majority's legitimacy.

people got mad at me yesterday when i said the dems were not ready to take court reform seriously. 5-4 for non-racial citizenship is not a win, it's a reprieve bsky.app/profile/schu...
