If we have a #Bluewavein66days @robertgarcia.bsky.social can hold the agency accountable and there won’t be any free walks to them.

🚨 BREAKTHROUGH: After 40 years of research, Brazilian scientist Dr. Mariangela Hungria wins the World Food Prize for pioneering a $2 nitrogen-fixing bacteria treatment that replaces costly fertilizers, saves farmers $25 billion annually, and cuts 230 million tons of CO₂ emissions.

Bay Area friends: A friend found these small kittens behind a gas station and we've been trying to find them a home for almost two months. For now, they live in a small bathroom. Would you consider adopting? They are vaxxed, neutered, and incredibly affectionate. Please help!

US committing a war crime is basically the norm these days, unfortunately

More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban. Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care. “This is striking,” one doctor said. “The trend is very clear.” (Published July 2025)

There is a collection of Trump-so-dumb examples, and a bleg for more, on LGM: www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/08/bleg...

The politics of the future is a war against billionaires—and it's a war the billionaires started. Their campaign to destroy American democracy is an early phase of a sinister cult vision to tyrannize the future. My interview with @KQEDNews Political Breakdown. www.kqed.org/news/1209526...

What McRobbie says!

#Blues Susan Collins is shocked! She’s shocked! Shocked! That she voted for ICE funding to purchase Shock Gloves!

We are having a ‘debate’ about ‘woke’ ‘cancel culture’ while the right is literally hounding people to death.

According to Trump-we can’t pay for SNAP benefits to feed hungry kids Or lower the cost of housing Or help people keep their health insurance But we CAN spend billions on purposeless and unwanted steam catapults for our Navy In every way Literally Morally Metaphorically #RepublicansStarveUS

there's some Glonzo risk here but "why isn't Trump doing the thing that people would want but which is probably logistically and politically impossible" is a good line of attack to run with

Anything worthwhile will piss some people off (if Barbera Kruger didn't say this, she should have)

Right wingers: “I hate American cities, the labor movement, most of the constitutional amendments, funding public schools, funding the VA, the voting rights of women and non-white people,….” PSA: “Why is the left ceding patriotism to the right?”

"Trump tries to explain something thay was explained to him" is always a source of amusement in these bleak times.

Why are we investigating whether Tulsi was controlled by a cult AFTER she's done DNI-ing, when it was pretty clear she was controlled by a cult before she was confirmed?

The AI labs really need to improve their image. They could form some sort of political pac, maybe call it the "AIPAC." I'm sure it'd be really popular

they're deploying national guard around the reflecting pool in order to stop people from drinking its cool sweet green waters. but americans are a people of indefatigable spirit and verve

tired of the "#1 dad" nonsense. if you're a dad, stop treating it like a joke and post your actual national dad ranking. i'm # 492,018, which is actually really high up there, but more importantly it lets me enter ranked dad lobbies where i can get matched up for fistfights with dads of my caliber

Deep cut here

LLMs can be useful, once you filter out the Bullshit. But also, half of doctors are below average...

92% of Israelis believe that Iran has won the war, and that the MoU Trump signed was little more than an act of capitulation. They are also now convinced that the entire war as launched by Netanyahu was an act of foolishness. www.timesofisrael.com/poll-92-of-i...

Selleck's first time to the beach! TT: Selleck The Mustache Cat IG: mr.selleck

This puritanical pixie is working my last nerve with his shameless lies to suck-up to Donald Trump. Barack Obama not only got Iran to the negotiating table—he got a deal. And a much more favorable deal for the United States than the total capitulation Donald Trump just embarrassed himself with.

Awkward

I can't believe Dems are still not only litigating this year's finished primaries, but arguing about Hillary and Bernie!

Can’t be repeated enough👇🏽 Just so insane

Among the Jan 6ers eager to get in line for $1.8 billion in government money: a sex offender who bear-sprayed cops www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... @merylkornfield.bsky.social

Over 17,000 kids in Maryland have lost SNAP assistance due to cuts in what Trump & Republicans call their "Big, Beautiful Bill."

While it may be beautiful for the billionaires enjoying record tax cuts, kids are going hungry to save those billionaires money. Shameful. www.cbpp.org/blog/sharp-d...

Notice that Dem primary voting in TX is much more predictable based on geography than GOP primary voting. Racial demographics structure Dem primaries & Americans are geographically segregated by race, so... This is something Gall Sigler & I wrote about in the paper flagged 👇.

Go ahead and slam journalists when they deserve it. I certainly do. But also realize that New York Times journalists Declan Walsh and Arlette Bashizi willingly traveled to an Ebola ward in the Democratic Republic of Congo in order to inform the world. Many journalists are heroes. (NYT gift link)

Abjection is the core fear of what we used to call neoreaction which is the ideology of the tech right (ethical altruism is actually a liberal heresy of neoreaction or vice versa)

Ben Meiselas on Jared and Ivanka's attempt to take over an uninhabited island in Albania: It used to be a closed off military area under the old communist government. It has kind of a very creepy underground tunnel system... No wonder the Epstein class wants to build out on this island.

The message couldn't be clearer: if you're not the "right" kind of religious, you don't count. A military that serves all Americans shouldn't be in the business of deciding which beliefs are worthy of recognition.

The amount of corruption in this administration is astounding.
