This thread keeps getting longer, but the potential consequences of SMRs run longer than the human mind can comprehend... www.theguardian.com/business/202...

“We’re bringing God back into our classrooms...” We thought this was about teaching "history"? Turns out it’s about pushing religion on a captive audience of public school students. We’re shocked.

“When the president..orders military action against foreign countries absent an emergency scenario..that's..usurpation of Congress's authority..These violations resulted in the deaths of 13 service members..For this, the president and vice president must be impeached” Active Duty Major Jason Watson

Today, our friend Jay USAF Major Jason Watson read his oath to the Constitution and demanded that Congress do its job to IMPEACH this President and cabinet. He was arrested on the Capitol steps. #DOOR @defendersofourrepublic.org @removalcoalition.bsky.social @citizensimpeachment.com

He's always struggled with numbers and math....

“The way people mount a CCTV camera on a wall, they mounted one on us,” Lalita, 32-year-old garment worker, told The Guardian. “We found it funny at first, because of how we all looked with that headgear.” The Fun ended. Now she asks, “Who is going to pay us when we are replaced by robots?” #AI

CNN montage of Trump attacking others claiming they have profited from being in office.

the “innovation” building is spaceX, truth social, TikTok, a random motorcycle designer, and the parent and trademark office

lol the DHS booth is a fake bag scanner and an ai generated activity sheet

Water fountains disappeared from the Longleaf Trace in June as the board that governs it grew concerned about how homeless people were using its facilities. Runners and bikers who use the 44-mile trail fear the decision could have dire consequences in Mississippi's summer heat. buff.ly/pBXSvrI

This administration blocked some Haitians from taking their citizenship oaths after they’d been approved for naturalization!

Kyiv residents are already in the metro 🙏🏻

He could strangle a teenager on camera and they would say he “defied a long-held tradition of presidents not doing that”

We knew this would happen. They came for the media. CBS is fully captured. All the corporate destroyers are in the boycott guide: www.ms.now/news/60-minu...

Fireworks are horrible for Vets, pets, and wildlife, and at this scale, anyone who needs to breathe air. They could have had an incredible drone display, but the old coot is obsessed with blowing things up.

As the United States celebrates a historical milestone, somehow we have managed to empower the absolute worst person possible to lead us, writes @djrothkopf.bsky.social.

Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

What's happening with old people in Congress is really EGREGIOUS. The public is being kept in the dark: people.com/mitch-mcconn...?

America at 250 is heading into rough weather

After his DOJ backed Roundup-maker Bayer in a landmark SCOTUS case limiting lawsuits against the company, Trump's EPA is now giving the greenlight for even more toxic pesticides and forever chemicals to be used on crops. How the hell is this Making America Healthy Again?

Most Americans believe the country has moved away from its founding principles as the nation prepares for its big 250th anniversary, a new PBS News/NPR/Marist poll finds.

Todd Blanche's deadline to put up or shut up is tomorrow. It's true! @katiephang.bsky.social is a bad ass. Setting precedent and taking names. Check out our conversation about her case here. Never any paywalls. Ever. www.muellershewrote.com/p/a-major-wi...

This is disgusting as usual. More of the same partisan political speeches to active duty troops following the standard practice of Trump, Vance and Hegseth to violate a fundamental principle of the Republic. It’s also gross that more Republican vets don’t call this out. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Jon Ossoff just gave a rally speech that's tailor-made to go viral. An island. A "Flamingo Revolution." Two billion in Gulf money. And a vow to put people under oath after the midterms. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

The move, which had been telegraphed by the administration for several months, nonetheless represented a stark reversal for President Donald Trump, who negotiated and signed the USMCA deal in 2018 after he pulled out of NAFTA. on.nbcboston.com/2XBX38p

Elon now claims he was saving lives by ending USAID because this guy said so

President appears with the cast of Magic Mike's All-Male Revue, promising to torture attendees with his extra long speech during an emergency heat warning.

ABSOLUTE SCENES!

This is FALSE. ICE data showed DHS averaging 1,259 deportations/day through April 4. There is ZERO sign deportations rose by 154% since. Mullin also mixes up DHS's (also FALSE) claim that 70% arrested have any criminal record at all, and claims that 70% are felons. Wildly wrong.

Mine shipped off today! Hurrah!

A thread of lovely moments, whimsy, and quiet observation. *if you have no sense of humor, you may be quite puzzled about apparent British goings on.

They may not have won but player for player DR Congo was just magnificent today.

LIVE: 💥Two people have climbed to the top of the Empire State Building antenna. They are holding a banner that reads: “When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace” 💥It also seems that there was just a proposal on top of the Empire State Building.💕

If u want to know what the Tech Bros envision for the future, here is the kind of material they read: (1) The Sovereign Individual (preface by Peter Thiel); (2) The Network State: How to Start a New Country by Balaji Srinivasan blurbed by Marc Andreessen); (3) Patchwork by Curtis Yarvin/ Moldbug 1/

Victor Willis, the lead singer of the 1970’s disco group Village People and co-writer of “Y.M.C.A” and “Macho Man,” has died at 74

NEW: Most Supreme Court Rulings Are Secretive Votes With Little Justification ProPublica conducted a new analysis that shows the court is deciding more consequential rulings than ever before in largely unsigned orders with little to no explanation.

Many may feel that forecasts just aren't as accurate, and some know it because of their work outdoors. When you're missing high/low predictions by 10°f and precipitation forecasts are now only accurate within a few hours of the event, it becomes dangerous and expensive for everyone.

Parked but not idle: The buses “will charge up their nearly 200-kilowatt-hour batteries overnight, when the power supply is at its cleanest & cheapest, then send energy back to the grid from 4 pm to 7 pm on days when the grid is strained. The district will earn revenue for the power it shares…”

Holy shit! This tour of the White House trail of destruction is painful to watch. Trump isn’t renovating anything. He’s taking a wrecking ball to history & sending us the bill. Based on what we’ve seen so far, this is going to be a shoddy build that will need to be redone sooner rather than later.

I’ve been promoting the role of early Black Americans paving the the road to birthright citizenship for more than 20 years; today it mattered more than most. It’s been an honor to support the teams at the ACLU and the LDF Fund along with their clients in this work. hub.jhu.edu/2026/06/30/s...

Thanks, SCOTUS!

🚨BREAKING: If you thought the right wing would accept our mail-in voting victory on Monday in SCOTUS, you were wrong. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This thread. I'm convinced that the trumpian "Great American State Fair" was just an excuse for him to help himself to the America 250 budget. Because this isn't an 80 million dollar fair, not counting sponsorships and State fees for their sad, sad booths.

On Birthright Citizenship: “The Reconstruction Amendments were an anticaste, antisubordination reset for the Nation, not a mere spot treatment for the dark stain of slavery.” -Justice Ketanji Brown 💅💕

So the fix for Ogles would be to only allow post-menopausal women to visit the US? Or is he aiming for more of an "It's Raining Men" vibe? On the topic, I wonder what all the South African "refugees" think about his plan.

🚨The Anti-Women GOP “…Emily Jordan called Planned Parenthood a ‘terrorist organization,’… …she was telling us exactly how she sees the people who provide birth control…and STD testing… She confirmed…to a local reporter: ‘I did say that.‘ Not walked back. Owned.” www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

People minding their business and going about their daily lives shouldn't need Congress members to intervene in their kidnapping and imprisonment. Or rather, Congress should treat everyone as if they were Holy, and shut down the abomination that is ICE/CBP.

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

*nodding solemnly with full comprehension* yes, I see. there’s a special kind of kid who can’t play sports or go to the bathroom

This is one of the most on-target statements I've read lately.
