More to the poin, he promo doubt about climate change despite the fact his companI’d own scientists had been saying it was real for decade.

This is a great example of the journalistic rule to report what people do or say, not what they might feel. I don't know if Exxon CEO Lee Raymond "doubted climate change," and neither does Bloomberg. All we know is that he *promoted doubt" about climate change. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

$250 million wasted in one night. hink about the enormous opportunity costs of Trump's war of choice.

FFS. Trump wanted a market rally so he waved his dick around so he could say that they were so impressed that they agreed to his demands. Wait and see. #realityshowpresidency

My 6th grader in an SPS school told me they use MagicSchool in their ELA class, including to grade assignments. That is *completely* unacceptable.

it never stops working

Hurler’s Olympics have nothing on Trump’s World Cup!

UPDATE: Now it’s Ivory Coast supporters caught up in Trump & Stephen Miller’s racist World Cup dragnet. ⚽️ 🇨🇮 www.thesun.co.uk/sport/393789...

So, more an air fryer than a Stargate. I stand correcte!

"We hear little of these other incidents because their white perpetrators do not fit the narrative — or the political business model — of the populist right." - terrific column by @robertshrimsley.bsky.social:

October 26, 1998—two weeks after Matthew Shepard (the young man pictured) was murdered in a brutal anti-gay hate crime.

Court rules up is not dow!

I never thought that I would write my dissertation on a thing in 2003 and then be asked to re-establish that thing in 2026, but here we are. (the Lyceum)

Just a reminder that when an invasion of US ground troops in Iran were discussed in the press this March, Iran's foreign minister said: "We're waiting for them. We want them to invade. We've been preparing for this for 40 years and they have no idea what's waiting for them."

Trump is NEVER talked out of anythin!

Fukuyama: We have reached the end of history. History: It's 2026, and an official branch of the Ukrainian armed forces is tweeting about how drone striking Andrew Tate while he's clout farming with the Russian military would be fun, but is sadly a war crime. Get bent old man.

Hi. As the CEO of a 501c3 and 501c4…this is garbage. 501c3’s can’t endorse or oppose CANDIDATES (which Trump is NOT) and cannot influence legislation as a SUBSTANTIAL PART of it’s activities. The Heritage Foundation is a 501c3…do what you want with that info. diabetes.org/newsroom/pre...

Moreover Dolan’s public meltdown today suggests he knows he fucked up.

I agree with this 100%. It’s unforgivable to screw up your home court advantage. Tonight is a blowout, but game 3 was definitely a winnable game.

This book taught me everything that I 🇨🇦 needed to know about #Trump @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

While Scott Jennings gets prime time appearances on CNN to push MAGA narratives, the network’s resident fact checker hasn’t been seen on the air in three months. The timing is curious. what’s going on? The story in @status.news www.status.news/p/daniel-dal...

Change is good! L🤣L!

- Great cooling effect in summer. - Reduction of speeding because the street seems tighter. - Cleaner air. - In winter the leaves drop and let the sun through. Truly a wonderful thing to add to a street.

John Wick meets Conclave in THE POPE'S HITMAN by @jmberger.com, a fast-paced international thriller about a priest with a deadly secret who must stop a plot to kill the Pope on Christmas Eve. #ewgc #libraryreads Coming soon to NetGalley!

Anyone who argues that Democrats should move to the right on their most popular political issue either has no understanding of abortion politics, or is anti-abortion themselves. In the case of yesterday's NYT op-ed—it appears to be both jessica.substack.com/p/new-york-t...

I guffawed

Queers have it better today than we had things 20/30/40+ years ago, but we have it much worse than what we had only 5 years ago. Older queers are correct in saying young queers have a much easier time than we did. Younger queers are correct in saying they have it worse now than when they were kids.

Can we actually fix climate change? And if so -- how? This week, I handed Talking Climate over to climate scientist and Project Drawdown executive director @globalecoguy.bsky.social. His message is simple: yes, we can.

Built-in campaign ad.

These announcers love Wemby so much, it’s like he’s a Republican and they’re the NYT “no intent there”

Social Security’s trust fund is due to run low on money beginning in 2032. The government ACKNOWLEDGED THAT TRUMP’S IMMIGRATION POLICIES & TAX CUTS contribute to the insolvency. Who knew that deporting millions of immigrants would hurt SS? Really, who knew? Almost everyone!

Your regular reminder that this clearly-it's-a-war is neither approved by Congress nor the UN Security Council & it is an egregious violation of the US Constitution, international law, & our signed, ratified treaty commitments, & if we were a serious country, we would care about these things.

2/2 ‼️As we've said, by Trump's behavior — polls don't matter — he knows behind the scenes, on multiple levels, they plan to ensure Rs do not lose power by stealing midterms: - using USPS - obtaining, "cleaning" voter rolls - gerrymandering - they know courts are slow - readying shock troops.

‼️ 1/2 @marcelias.bsky.social of @democracydocket.com: "Trump and his administration are quietly building a national list of approved voters — and if your name isn't on it, you may not be able to vote by mail in 2026." See full description & timestamps after the jump... 📺 youtu.be/8QfU1JHeMBs?...

Graham Readfern points out that when scientists revised their WORST-case scenario for climate change, most media mischaracterized the move, as did many politicians around the planet. But they failed to note the BEST-case scenario is now out of the question, too. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Did they have to go through 22 of them to find one willing to claim he's healthy?

Everybody knows that Republicans vote earlier and lead in the mornings and then Dems catch up later if they are inspired to do so. Republicans will always claim the fact that Dems catch up is evidence of something fishy. No, it's only fishy if *Republicans* "catch up", like in 2004.

It seriously bothers me that so many journalists who cover space related subjects refuse to hold Elon Musk to account for his racism, bigotry, and calls to violence. I’ve lost respect for some genuinely talented and knowledgeable people who pretend not to see what’s happening.

Holy crap. People organized and actually won something in Cambridge! The field stays grass. This is an issue that doesn’t affect me personally except insofar as there are broader environmental concerns about artificial turf, but I’m just so glad to see regular people organize and win something.

I’m not going to say Cambridge might as well be governed by DOGE bros but I’m going to think it real loud.

Congress could also limit the Court’s jurisdiction to overturn acts of Congress (like the VRA) to a unanimous vote, which should also be required for shadow docket action

😂

Well. Platner is way more likely to block SCOTUS noms from trump than Collins is.

Congress passed the 15th Amendment in 1869. Congress passed the Voting Rights Act in 1965. Congress amended the VRA in 1982 to say “no, we really mean it” after the Supreme Court limited its scope. John Roberts & co. have gutted all of that and would do so again. They have left us no other choice
