I wonder what he would say about Disneyland Paris which is installing “82,000 modules over 20 hectares of parking space to produce 36 gigawatt hours annually, equivalent to the needs of a city of 17,400 residents”. Business act when nudged. Even the biggest. www.pveurope.eu/installation...

Ten years ago we’d only just got marriage equality and organisations and councils were only just starting to visibly show support and now the visibility is everywhere and marriage equality is under threat

ten years there wasn’t a pride flag on every college and there weren’t ppl visibly flipping and playing with white tie dress code gender expectations at an oxford ball and now there are and it’s so cool and also JKR and Musk have made it their personal open season

a thing about being queer that I can’t really articulate right now is the gutwrenching feeling of progress pride flags everywhere and going to a centuries old formal event that now has loads of visible queerness going on. and at the same time billionaires are trying and succeeding to roll it back

Organizers for the North Carolina booth at Trump's partisan event, the Great American State Fair, had to remove an image of a Confederate flag displayed in the state's pavilion on the National Mall. The state didn't put it up. At least one sponsor has pulled out.

Seems the real problem centrist democrats are facing right now is the people are being very clear that they want leaders who will solve their biggest problems, and centrist democrats really don't want to solve their biggest problems and hate the people for wanting that. It's a real pickle for them.

Someone accuses you of being a Nazi and you refute them by going all out Nazi.

This email is not a threat. It's moral condemnation. It's political hyperbole. It's exactly in line with what the Supreme Court said was protected by the First Amendment in Watts v. United States: www.fire.org/supreme-cour...

Here is the "WARNING NOTICE" federal agents hand-delivered. "YOU MAY BE IN VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW" It's the second of these notices I am aware of. If you've received one, please get in touch: fire.org/alarm

After federal agents shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, a New Yorker sent ICE's director an email in January comparing him to a Nazi. This week, DHS agents stalked him across New York. His home. A hotel. They gave his wife a letter warning of criminal prosecution. www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

lmao wtf

can’t tell yall enough what a breakthrough it was for me to learn from this interview that most people just want to feel like they’re being obeyed they rarely follow up on whether you actually obey them

This is great BUT the really pivotal Budapest Pride was last year, when Orbán tried to ban it but 100,000 showed up, defying the cops—an early indication that he could be defeated at the polls. www.pbs.org/newshour/wor...

A serious and still-escalating wildfire outbreak is now underway across interior West, and has today expanded beyond NV & UT into western CO & AZ/NM. Extreme fire behavior and rapid spread is widespread; adverse conditions expected for 7+ days. #UTwx #COwx #AZwx #NMwx [Thread]

Well it’s been a while, Bluesky. Just here to say that there are so many large wildfires occurring in the Great Basin/SW region, and are all going nuclear. Incredible to watch on satellite imagery.

This, not polar bears, is what climate crisis means. Cascading infrastructure breakdowns. Can't get around coz roads have buckled; power plants shut down coz rivers are too hot & shallow Never forget that the "economy" is a wholly owned subsidiary of nature phenomenalworld.org/analysis/glo...

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

Another round into Bahrain late last night US time. Two rounds in total. Expecting another US strike action possibly later today. Images show damage to a residential building in Bahrain’s Muharraq area following an Iranian attack. Bahraini authorities confirmed no fatalities were reported.

Comparison between views of the East Wing bunker/ballroom construction site taken from the Washington Monument in March, May, and on June 24 appear to show above-ground construction—including a new East Wing Colonnade—in violation of judge Richard J. Leon's order halting construction above ground.

U.S. District Judge halted the aboveground construction of Trump’s ballroom holding the Constitution reserves the authority over federal property to Congress. He must get permission from Congress. The judge made the point that Donald Trump is not the “owner” of the White House.

Over $103M in federal contracts and grants for 250th anniversary celebrtions have gone to politicized entities under the control of Trump officials and allies.

There's way too much talk among Democrats right now that the 2028 nominee can't be black and can't be gay and can't be Jewish and can't be a woman. We are not good at this kind of "casting" crap and it usually bites us in the ass. We need to pick the right candidate, not the right type of candidate.

The 15 most racist democrats you've ever seen are joining forces to recreate the Republican party from first principles

Well, this feels bleak
