This. Get out of the damn way.

Thomas Long@rayosunlong.bsky.social

If you’re a democratic leader, and your main talking point is “kitchen table issues”, you’ve completely lost the plot. People are dying out here in the real world. A lot of us don’t have a kitchen table, or food to put on it. We’re LITERALLY fighting for our lives. Get real or get out of the way.

This.

I do not know what it will take to get "centrist" politicians to understand that if you chase fascist-curious voters by becoming more fascist, they'll just choose the full-on fascist instead of you.

Yet another great piece from an excellent writer.

As someone who left home in L.A. to build a life in Toronto back in 2019, Kawhi's return means a whole lot to me. On the eve of my first Canada Day as a citizen, I wrote about the player who changed the course of my life. www.theringer.com/2026/06/30/n...

Saw Supergirl again, absolutely adored it, even teared up a couple times. I don’t care about critics or whatever, when I go to a movie, I care about how it reaches me, and watching a lost girl find herself and beat the bad sex pest creepos just makes me happy. Needledrop at the end rules btw 💖🥰

Fiorello would be proud.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Great answer.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

The court has simply recreated the pre-Brown world in allowing racial discrimination across a broad number fields as long as it is “facially neutral,” gutting the Reconstruction Amendments in the process.

💯 When Biden had majorities in both chambers (with VP the Senate tie-breaker), Dems should have expanded the Court to 13 seats. (First remove the filibuster to get law through the Senate). Power to wield, not waste. Instead, he formed a commission that created a report and then he took no action.

Thank you, Fever! Pay the players.

Aliyah Boston has signed a MEGA extension! At 4-years totaling $6.3 Million through 2029, she'll account for 20% of the team's total salary cap, as a result of the new EPIC provision. She'll make $1 million this year. Per, @alexaphilippou.bsky.social and @kendra-andrews.bsky.social #WNBA

Let’s go Lexie! So glad to see the core stay together for another year 💪

Alexa Philippou@alexaphilippou.bsky.social

Lexie Hull is signing a multi-year deal to return to the Indiana Fever, I'm told. She was a popular free agent who weighed several options but opted to return to Indiana and keep their young core together.

The data is in: the NIH goalposts have shifted. What were once almost certain fundable scores have become coin flips and what used to be likely grants have become aspirational, leading to fewer awards. Another manifestation of how HHS policies have led to fewer awards and less science.

Very proud!

Roslyn Harold examined the interplay between the ERN, neuroticism, and internalizing symptoms! They found the moderating effect of ERN on the relation between trait neuroticism and ill temper symptoms is generalizable across task and quantification method! Great talk! #2025SPR

Great symposium!

kamwitko.bsky.social@kamwitko.bsky.social

Come check out the symposium exploring the use of psychophysiology to advance personalized exercise-based interventions for mental health!🏋🏽‍♀️🧘🏻‍♂️ It’s chaired by Dr. CJ Brush! #2025SPR @therealspr.bsky.social Updates to come!

Yes.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

PACER Lab at Purdue University@pacerlab.bsky.social

Molly graduated from Tufts University in 2023 with a B.S. in Biopsychology. She is interested in using EEG to investigate the heterogeneity of depression (with a specific interest in anhedonia). When not in the lab, Molly enjoys cooking and hanging with her cat Bruce.

Welcome to the lab, Reilly!

PACER Lab at Purdue University@pacerlab.bsky.social

Reilly graduated from the University at Buffalo in 2024. Broadly, his interests involve utilizing the EEG to investigate mechanisms of risk for internalizing pathologies (e.g, anxiety/depression). Outside of the lab, he enjoys hiking, watching shows, and spending time with his friends.

A real governor.

Stripping birthright citizenship from people born in this country goes against rights guaranteed in the Constitution. We must stand against unconstitutional actions and stand up for the fundamental rights granted to people in the United States of America.

The reason we fight against fascism is because of love. Love for our friends and family. Our children deserve better than this. They deserve not to live in a place where they must fear getting shot. We love them. So we have to win. And in time, we will. The axe forgets but the tree remembers.

I think that the outcome in the NY Mayoral race and the Wisconsin Supreme Court race both show that people power CAN beat the political money machine. That should give us all hope, and the motivation to work for the government we want.

Progress.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

A bill to make sure poor people stay hungry, sick, and dying so rich people can be slightly richer. Actually evil. We need to make people understand it in those terms and not something about “budgets” or “house reconciliation bills”

Ben Wikler@benwikler.bsky.social

Bringing this to Bsky bc @steverattner.bsky.social hasn't posted it yet and it's so critical. The entirety of the cuts to Medicaid and food benefits are to pay for tax cuts for people earning more than half a million a year. Call Congress: 202-224-3121

Been ages since I’ve seen a movie so vivid. Every detail, done with intent. See it in imax. Then see it again.

Sarah G. Vincent@sarahgvincentviews.bsky.social

Ryan Coogler’s Sinners (2025) redefines the vampire genre, blending action, horror, and cultural depth. Set in 1932, it explores freedom, identity & the power of music in a supernatural struggle. A must-watch & stay until theater lights are on. Full review: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/sinne...

I see many Democrats posting hollow words while going about their business as usual. That is not leadership. This is leadership.

Senator Chris Van Hollen@vanhollen.senate.gov

I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release. Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.

Let’s go.

Amanda Litman@amandalitman.bsky.social

If you’re looking at the news of Dems flipping an R+15 state senate seat & thinking huh maybe I should run in my deep red district… 1. Look up your options at runforwhat.net 2. Check out some resources at runforsomething.net/candidate-resources 3. Get the book. bookshop.org/a/100021/978...

Sickening indeed.

Rodger Sherman@rodger.bsky.social

The “I’ve never physically hurt anyone” line bothers me so much. USAID cuts are killing kids, DOGE cuts are taking away people’s jobs/health insurance, but bc he’s never punched a guy he thinks he’s OK. Sickening when politicans/elites think they’re morally separated from the death & pain they cause
