I want to be extremely clear on this: billionaires are killing us.

"What rights have trans people lost?" An actual reply to a poast I made on here months ago.

Pentagon hid 3 Iranian strikes that wounded dozens of US troops & damaged helicopters only confirming it after the NYT dug it up. Not only from us but also from the families. What else are they hiding from the public about casualties? #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/A_lbGSbwwRLa...

Update from FDA continues to link Taylor Farms despite false positive: “FDA’s traceback investigation and outbreak data continue to converge on shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms locations in central Mexico... there is overwhelming epidemiological data to support the voluntary recall."

Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin GRANTS the states a temporary restraining order in their challenge to the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger. It's a two-week TRO, as per the rules. The next hearing is Aug 3 in Oakland. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Earlier this year, USA Rugby banned trans women and intersex athletes from playing. Multiple women's rugby teams are fighting back and openly defying the ban by refusing to kick out their trans teammates. www.thebanner.com/sports/rugby...

it was for @us.theguardian.com … for a civil liberties reporter job! does this comport with new york state human rights law?

Obama first appointed Homan to a leadership post in 2013 and praised him. Democrats have too often helped to build the foundation for Trump's turbo-charged, murderous deportation machine.

couple things here. first, the SC will invalidate virtually all D legislation of any consequence. they will strike down national abortion rights. they will strike down any effort to hold trump or trump admin figures accountable. they will strike down gerrymandering reform. all of it. it's gone. 1

when we said “bring back shame” this is exactly what we meant none of these assholes should be allowed to buy coffee in peace

Well fuck. Bill was a friend of mine. He was a great guy.

Two people tried to enter a screening of The Odyssey without buying tickets after hiding inside a miniature model of the Trojan Horse. 😂😂😂

This is entirely over, by the way. Bellows has already dropped out. Jackson has more than enough delegates to win a majority on the first ballot with 7 counties to go. Very impressive organizing feat.

BREAKING NYT: Federal agents around the country were told in recent days that the FBI would no longer investigate confrontations with immigration agents — cases that sometimes yield evidence that could be used to prosecute DHS agents implicated in violent encounters.

Here's a leaked photo of the upcoming Lego Star Trek TOS bridge set coming in September.

🚨Chicago! #MaskUp for #WildfireSmoke + sickness prevention. “I mask to protect my health and keep each other safe!”—Courtney. 📸 @msjulieslam.bsky.social met Courtney at a mask required party organized by orgs: the Artistic Alphabet Mafia and @parallelplaychi.bsky.social Chicago.

Matt Yglesias is simply a horrible person.

“Paris has embarked on a grand transformation, planting 155k trees, adding hundreds of kms of bike lanes, pedestrianising 300 school streets and banning cars from the banks of the Seine. Parking has been turned into green space…Fewer parents fear their child being run over when they walk to school.”

Hey all, it's been a quiet couple of weeks of helping @hollowoak.bsky.social recover from prostate cancer surgery. It's been three weeks already! He's been dealing with some intense sciatica pain, but it's been much less in the way of side effects than we'd expected. www.gofundme.com/f/support-ch...

On Tuesday, a New Jersey town pulled $91M out of Citizens Bank over its business with ICE prison contractors GEO Group and CoreCivic. Yesterday, Citizens announced it was ending its relationships with GEO and CoreCivic. Money managers should DIVEST from #$GEO #$CXW www.nj.com/essex/2026/0...

culture war is evolving to a strange place. went to a craft night and the conversation went from discussing witchcraft (as though it were real) to disparaging antivaxxers within like five minutes. one woman, my new hero, blurted out "they lobotomized the wrong kennedy"

Arrested at the UK's behest so they can face justice for a bunch of serious sex crimes allegations there. apnews.com/article/tate...

Haley Stevens and AIPAC aren't even hiding the evidence. At least don't be so sloppy and reckless about it. Shame on everyone who cashed the check and decided to use their platform for this. But hey, $40 million buys a lot... maybe even a Michigan primary.

I look at *metaphorically* as Past Me, Present Me, and Future Me. Past me helps out Present me and Present me helps out Future me because everything falls apart when we start fucking ‘each other’ over.

I saw one of those "ADHD life hacks" on instagram that said if you have a hard time ordering yourself to do things, put it in the form of a question, and I've actually had great success with it! namely asking "how pissed off are you going to be tomorrow if you don't do this right now"

Given the lack of details provided by Taylor Farms thus far, Consumer Reports' food safety experts are advising folks in the 27 states implicated by the recall to discard ALL iceberg lettuce until we know more about where the parasite-linked products ended up www.consumerreports.org/health/food-...

New: Late last night, Taylor Farms quietly posted an official recall notice We now know that the parasite-linked iceberg lettuce was shipped to Walmart & food distributors in 27 (!) states It was for some reason still being sent out up until Thursday July 16 www.consumerreports.org/health/food-...

Now 16 US service members dead - that have been confirmed - in an unnecessary, illegal war that Trump started to boost his legacy.

Iran has suspended the Memorandum of Understanding, accusing the US of violations, Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said. He added: “We are busy defending our country.” Everything back to square one. Trump has nothing to show for the misery he’s inflicted on the world,

More war crimes: In its fourth strike on water infrastructure, the US has destroyed two water tanks in Sirik, Iran, completely cutting off water distribution in all villages of the Bemani district and the city of Kohstak, the Hormozgan Water and Sanitation Authority says.

We didn't previously integrate wildfire-smoke costs into the supposed cost of climate change for the US, and it turns out to be bigger than all those other costs combined. Oops! Gosh I wonder if we're underestimating anything else. Probably shoulda done something about this. Ah well.

My dad was a poet so I could never really join in when the other boys would argue about whose dad could beat up the other dads, but I was confident that my dad could make your dad feel seen in ways that would quietly devastate him.

Life is short. Write that novel. Paint that painting. Try new recipes. Learn black magic. Go into the forest at night. Summon a demon. Earn that demon's trust. Become best friends with it. Brag to everyone else about your new cool demon best friend. Knit that sweater.

I try not to overdo this bit but ... my man is begging for it. Let's go.

oh, so now it’s illegal to give racists driving directions on social media

Good. No Democrat should be taking money from AIPAC. jewishinsider.com/2026/07/aipa...

Even Nixon didn't want Americans living like this

This is deeply disingenuous and, frankly, a dereliction of journalistic integrity. A quick glance at Yum! Brand’s annual filings reveal that this is common language included every single year as an investment risk factor. The most recent filing is no different because the risk is always present.

Preliminary maximum rainfall amounts exceeding 20-25" have occurred during the last four days across parts of south-central TX, leading to catastrophic flooding in the area. Raining continues across south-central TX.
