Pointing out the unmet obligation for public safety and justice in Indian Country is a little over $3 billion…

YOU PASS LAWS TO FORCE KIDS OFF THE INTERNET AND THEN CREATE TASK FORCES TO PUNISH THEM FOR GOING OUTSIDE, WHERE THE FUCK ARE CHILDREN ALLOWED TO EXIST???

this is “pete hegseth wants an all-white military”

I was going to go to the Field Museum this afternoon but I have a sleeping baby in my arms and this is probably better than that.

every dead senator gets a thoughtful obituary lauding their “courage” and then if you look it up the courage was filibustering the Give Medicine to Cancer Kids act

Hi. We're in the Age of Diarrhea. I'm a global health expert on helping children survive diarrhea. Here's what to do if you might have picked up cyclospora. 🧵 1. Call your primary care if possible. 2. Take oral rehydration therapy, which isn't just drinking fluids. 1/

In life, you have a choice to live it in such a way that people do not celebrate your death.

Grievance: when restaurants have a special sauce and they don’t tell you what’s in it. The poor servers having to explain what atomic whammy sauce is with every table.

In a Chicago hotel room bed holding my napping baby. I love this so much.

There's an OMB rule change that would require political oversight of scientific grants, and could pull any that don't "reflect presidential priorities" Another country has tried this before! It was the USSR and it was called Lysenkoism. By @thsaey.bsky.social www.sciencenews.org/article/omb-...

Monday is the deadline for public comment! The Heritage Foundation has been mobilizing its members to leave comments in favor of the rule change, so every unique comment matters (don’t use a form letter or copy/paste—similar comments are batched and treated as one).

I’ve done ICEWatch in the city and I’m doing ICEWatch now in the ‘burbs and in my experience, the approach is very different. ICEWatch in the ‘burbs is like investigating the Rapture. You spend a lot of time investigating abandoned cars…

along with the huge corruption investigations, democrats need to do a million little things like this AND THEN BRAG ABOUT IT

I do understand why it matters, I guess, but the thing is I don’t give more of a fuck if ICE murdered the wrong person than I do if they murdered the right one, and I think relying on the distinction as a messaging strategy is deeply misguided

You could definitely give these people a Trojan Horse and they’d be like “wow a big horse thank you” www.nytimes.com/2026/07/09/u...

“Officials say agents believed a passenger resembled one suspect …” They continue to make it clear: anyone non-white is being hunted down.

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

Oh there are even more words. Sigh.

That was a lot of words to get to the announcement.

Real idea: As part of the effort to get DC and PR statehood, next Dem president should invent about State Weeks. Each of the 52 states gets its own celebration week every year. A random July week is Montana week. Tourism bonanzas. Televised lottery every year for week placement. We ain't above this.

My baby puts themself to bed now. I put them in the bassinet and they fall asleep for 11 hours. One the one hand, I’m happy they feel secure enough to go to sleep. On the other, why do they have to grow up so fast.

There's a part in the book "Careless People" where the author beats Zuck at Settlers of Catan, and he is absolutely wrecked by it. Someone pulls her aside to explain everyone else has been letting him win for years. I think about this a lot re: why tech bros think everyone will love AI chatbots.

Man got Chotiner’d without even agreeing to an interview. Astounding

I can't believe we still have to remind people of these things but: most rape victims don't file police reports. (You're reading one right now.) Shock, denial, need to appease the rapist, nominally friendly behavior toward the rapist, etc. are all common reactions

It’s 3 am. Do you know where your president is?

wait was he actually ON BOARD the fucking plane for the flyover?!

Mamdani: "Those who led through exclusion & isolation have tried to win power & enrich themselves by turning us against one another ... today, too many of our leaders do not believe in a vision of this nation as an asylum for the persecuted, but rather as one that persecutes those seeking asylum"

Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

An annual reminder that knowing your own capacity is itself a life skill

Baby and I went for a walk to get breakfast before it got “too” hot. We left around d 9:15 when it was around 85-88 degrees. This is what it was like when we got back. Tomorrow will be even hotter. Humidity is over 60%. DC Is so dangerous right now. Please stay hydrated and inside if possible.

The National Congress of American Indians quietly withdrew from the partnership in July 2025 after what NCAI leadership described as fundamental disagreements over representation and historical narrative. By: Brianna Tucker #BlackskyNews #Indigisky www.huffpost.com/entry/native...

I have a six month old and the means to get us out of the beltway, including the dogs. I am so sad for people who can’t leave the city and angry that ego is creating a legitimate health crisis.

"The Park Service, in a separate document, similarly said that people should ‘wear an n95 mask when outdoors’ and ‘remain indoors as much as possible during and after the show.’” The guidance is to remain indoors ... during the fireworks. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Responses to this post show people don't realize this: Almost all of Gen Z is old enough to vote. All of Gen Z were too young to vote when the Tea Party took over the GOP. Their entire lives, they've watched Republicans fight Democrats on EVERYTHING, while Democrats always try to be bipartisan.

Honestly people romanticize kids playing outdoors a lot Yes it's better than sitting on tiktok all day but you can't just set them free w/o actual places to go or shit to do and then act shocked when they start dropping chunks of concrete off of an overpass

When people talk about taking kids' devices away w/o addressing how they have fuck all else to do, I think about the insane shit all the bored suburban kids I knew got up to before cell phones You can't just take their phones away or they're gonna get into making homemade napalm & burn a field down

if I were an elected representative and my constituents were coming up and saying "our daughter can't go to college unless she gets an athletic scholarship" I would be like "this is why we need universal free college" not "we'll pretend to solve this by being cruel to trans people." crazy right

Literally the Supreme Court upheld sodomy bans in 1986 and said homosexuality was worse than rape and nobody even talks about it

I don’t know, maybe we should watch this happen to another 500 female led movies to be sure.

One thing that I’ve learned in my study of backlash politics from Reconstruction through the Civil Rights Movement is that backlashers are a persistent bunch. The undoing of Reconstruction took several decades, and post-WWII backlashers looked back on that patient counterrevolution as a model.

Omg Ali Velshi is so cruel pointing out that Kiros wasn’t even born when DeGette was first elected to office. I am dead. Haha.

Idk these guys own a flooring company in Vegas but they look like they break legs on the side. They were ready to fight.

Justice Jackson: "the ultimate irony is that for all the talk about the detestable Dred Scott decision, the Government and the principal dissent propose a return to its core tenet. Their bottom line is that, for certain people, being born on American soil will not suffice to confer citizenship."

I cannot emphasize how much a certain type of man absolutely hates, with his heart of hearts, the fact that women merely exist and will always infer the worst possible reason for anything we do regardless of facts.

i love not gambling. every day i wake up and just don't gamble at all. any money i have at the beginning of the day i either keep or exchange for goods or services. if somebody says "hey do you want to get into some gambling" i say "hell no, brother. do i look like an idiot to you" it's fantastic

My baby’s thighs are gloriously chonky and they make me so happy.

There was an internal debate with my team on the mail ballot case on what word to use. We went with “notes” We cannot applaud,congratulate, or celebrate a court doing the basic work of supporting democracy and the Constitution by slim margins. Word choice matters.

This is why the effort to paint what we were seeing from Border Patrol and ICE as the result of bad training and/or militia infiltration was and remains counterproductive. blockclubchicago.org/2026/06/30/w...
