I’m totally cool with trump, his family, and all his cabinet members flying on that plane
Trump spent upwards of a billion dollars on retrofitting his Qatar gift into Airforce 1. Now, it's considered unsafe. Just a bigger version of the failed reflecting pool renovation. And it's all our money he's wasting. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/09/u...

Replying to @elienyc.bsky.social
With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.
6-3 on this? WTF?
Final #SCOTUS ruling is birthright citizenship. For a 6-3 majority (Thomas, Alito & Gorsuch, dissenting), Chief Justice Roberts *strikes down* President Trump's executive order purporting to limit which individuals born in the United States would automatically be US citizens; preserves status quo:
BREAKING: SCOTUS says please overlook the fact that we've decimated the VRA and are about to have several more completely banana-pants terrible decisions...
#BREAKING: #SCOTUS *denies* certiorari in one of the two E. Jean Carroll cases ("Carroll II," to the folks who follow closely). That presumably clears the way for Carroll to collect the $5 million judgment (the $83.3 million judgment in Carroll I remains under appeal):

Read Benjamin "Champagne" Song's statement. His (and his co-defendants') treatment at the hands of this government is meant to terrify and suppress resistance. So share his words widely.
please read this statement written by Benjamin "Champagne" Song and share as far and wide as you can: https://prairielanddefendants.com/defendant-writings/statement-by-benjamin-champagne-song/
Super interested in hearing from all those folks who insisted the tarp was just for safety and anyone saying otherwise was trafficking lies and rumors…
The Kennedy Center says it pulled President Trump’s name from the building front earlier this month after a judge’s order. But the result remains hidden by tarps, prompting questions and speculation. nyti.ms/4vZ0qsG

“If we are going to do a third Reconstruction we need politicians who conceive of themselves as working on behalf of a constituency, rather than would-be-saviors…And, like the people of Minnesota, we need to do the work to be that constituency…” www.liberalcurrents.com/aoc-for-pres...

There is no world in which this is okay. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney. 🧵

I asked my publisher to put the 1000 Words book on sale and they said yes! It's 3.99 all during 1000 Words of Summer. You can get it anywhere you buy ebooks but I like @bookshop.org the best. bookshop.org/p/books/1000...
