One takeaway from this story is that the woman took a stand & protected women from an abuser, potentially risking her political ambitions. Not any of the men. It's a woman who had the moral fortitude not to go along & support the boys' network of protecting & elevating abusive men.

"I have the right beliefs, but I have done questionable things about which I am sorry" is a fine life path for *nearly everyone on the planet,* but it is notably a disqualifying life course for *a position of power* and the fact that this wasn't obvious to a lot of people in October is concerning.

We were stopped at a traffic light yesterday behind a guy in a pickup who had a whole nude foot, with a toe ring, hanging out the driver's side window, while he was driving. If I stipulate that I was not in Florida, you should already know that there were some New Hampshire plates on that truck.

"To lose her on a morning commute at an intersection the city has explicitly documented as dangerous for years is just an unmitigated tragedy, a systemic failure." Deaths like Louisa's occur because our leaders prioritize the convenience of drivers over the safety of pedestrians and cyclists.

What's so funny is that he's portraying Platner as this righteous American who was brought down by corporate Democrats so that Collins would win, when it seems pretty damn likely Platner himself was headhunted by a trust fund brat to be a Fetterman.

Did the evil forces have a time machine?

feels like a real landmark of impunity that major corporations are making federal crimes part of the interview process

"The Democratic party is abandoning Black lawmakers in the South. I think this is the perfect time to finger-wag Wemby and Jalen Brunson! Shame on them equally!! And where is Ja Rule?? Luke Kornet and Mason Plumlee, enjoy your summer!" headass...

New: The National Science Foundation is preparing to claw back some $500 million in funds from some of its core science programs in physics, math, computer science, and engineering in order to fund a project from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.

Viewers are pointing out he put his hand on her breast before striking her in the head with the bottle. Looks like a felony sexual battery and assault.

This story is heartbreaking & enraging. The govt is going after kids "who are able to prove in family court that they had been abused, neglected or abandoned." They are targeting Black & Brown babies who deserve our protection. That's how deep their white supremacy runs, they hate our children.

Look for the helpers

Users with John Brown pfps when you say ‘By any means necessary’

He's right and this whole thread got me angrier the more I read, more I remembered. Basic human rights thrown out the door for unconditional support for Israel. Going on a love tour with a Cheney. It must be really hard to win an election while you constantly hit yourself in the junk with a hammer

This thing where members of congress keep disappearing for months with health problems and no explanation is bad, but also how would anything be different if every member of congress was in a coma right now

This is not really on-topic but I was looking for a quick rec on a cheap flashlight the other night and stumbled across r/flashlight, a 275K-member strong community of illumination enthusiasts where people were posting things like "This one is a gateway drug." It's a big, strange world out there.

People love to act like the US is neutral instead of a batshit country that does lawyering for Israel which it doesn't do for literally any other country on the planer

I first met @abdulelsayed.bsky.social through our dear friend Ady Barkan, who died of ALS while courageously crusading for Medicare for All, and there is no one who will work harder than Abdul to win that fight. (1/4)

Neo-nazi Jake Lang got his shit rocked in LA today. Knocked right out of his plate carrier lol

anyway at this point it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t want to get in a public fight about this stuff, it’s gotten big enough that she’s going to have to take it on directly or it’ll keep getting worse

Some of us thought the Pod bros were absolute garbage trash from day 1 and coincidentally we were the same people who thought Platner was garbage trash from day 1 and maybe you should all start fucking listening to us.

It is really wild how much Black causes have been completely abandoned or lowered in priority by many Dems and many people, from moderates to progressives to the left. As we enter fascism, we can’t keep our eyes off the core of how we got here. Not to mention simply not abandoning Black people.

so the War Powers Resolution is just dead letter, right? we’re on like 3 of the last 5 presidents ignoring it outright.

They're literally bunkering down. Trump won't leave peacefully or legally, folks. www.cnn.com/2026/07/10/p...

In 2024, 10 Black students were admitted to Stuyvesant, one of the best high schools in NYC. In 2025, 8 Black students were admitted. Now, for 2026, 3 Black students have been admitted. It's a travesty.

Looks like Jake Lang got a taste of Los Angeles today. This is absolutely insane.

well now I desperately want a crab pin

Unexpectedly moving declaration by Houston Mayor Whitmire embracing Lorenzo Salgado as a "Houstonian." He vowed to bring to bear Houston's resources to pursue an independent investigation. He appears stunned–like the way many people feel the first time they realize the govt lied about everything.

The quick resegregation of higher education is particularly pronounced. In 1951, in the case of McKissick v Carmichael, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals compelled the UNC Chapel Hill School of Law to admit 4 black students. In 2025, they admitted 5. law.unc.edu/wp-content/u...

so horrible this has to stop

Trump to sign order as soon as Monday to dismantle Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments www.abc4.com/news/politic...

After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.

The murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by ICE is devastating, but not surprising. This is the ICE playbook. We need to abolish ICE now and end qualified immunity so we can hold Trump’s thugs accountable.

Today, the federal government finalized a major change to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) to remove vital habitat protections for endangered species.

“One man died after he reportedly fell 30 feet and broke his neck while being pursued by agents … By all accounts, he was a glorious human being. A family man, a father, and the sole supporter of his family, working hard to give his children a chance in this grand, American land of promise.”

lmao my high school history teacher called her “fish-eyes” any time he talked about the kennedys

Hey guys meta announced a new policy where they send a killer to get you so be sure to go to settings>my account > killer> disable killer to turn that off

I will continue shouting this from the rooftop until a xAI Murderbot shoves me over the ledge: Every time you use an “AI” platform, you’re training the models to replace your labour. “AI” isn’t being developed/implemented to augment you—it’s being developed to eliminate the need to employ you.

I'm starting a rumor. He was murdered and they are replacing the carpeting and subflooring to get rid of forensic evidence. www.tmz.com/2026/07/10/m...

My mom just called to tell me that she went to a museum about the Underground Railroad, where one of the exhibits talked about the locals having horns that they would blow to warn people when the slave catchers were in town “It’s just like your whistles!”

Nothing says "intellectual diversity" quite like a mandatory law dictating forced enrollment in a bureaucratic safe space for policed thought. Ohio lawmakers want you to think freely, or else. 👀

Just a reminder this centrist freak has NEVER been right in his entire "professional" career. This was a decade ago

FYI, this is malware. If you see this, don’t do this

Really glad to have a prominent Jewish politician out there simply and forthrightly saying that Lipstadt is wrong about that.

“Black lawmakers and activists across the Deep South argue they have been abandoned by the Democratic Party to fight an existential crisis on their own. They say they’ve been let down by nearly all corners of the party.” Essential read:

Dems chasing a mythical Great White Hope and refusing to take the South seriously even when Black women like Stacey Abrams delivered proof of concept and because IT IS THE RIGHT AND JUST THING TO DO are two sides of the same problem www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

I’ll share it, because I think this rampant anti-Muslim and anti-Arab bigotry is not only accepted by a dying wing of our party but being used to win primaries (see Abdul). It’s on us to see it, shun it, and protect our coalition.
