tRump's strikes against Iran have destroyed the Bonji desalination plant and damaged another on Qeshm Island. Primary drinking water is now cut off for 10k-15k civilians across 20-30 drought villages. Families have no water. Targeting water infrastructure may be a war crime. How do we stop this?

"I don't live in Canada."

Right Wing Watch @rightwingwatch.bsky.social

MAGA cultist Eric Metaxas was outraged by seeing an air quality alert triggered by the Canadian wildfires that suggested people limit outdoor activity: "How dare they say that. Who has the right to tell me or you or anyone anything? It's a free country. I can do whatever I want."

AP: US has hit more bridges and apparently a tower at a key Iranian port. Iran launched new missile attacks against US-allied nations in the Middle East, including Qatar, a key mediator in the war.

The whole evening on television has been a stream of Democrats refusing this nonsense, but beyond that I’m not sure what you’d like them to do

Reigart@reigart.bsky.social

Because when you don't speak up, you normalize this. People have had it with Dems who DO NOTHING.

President Trump knows his party is on track to lose the midterms.That’s why all this noise about the 2020 election matters. If he truly believes it was rigged,then the legitimacy of his own 2024 victory is called into question. People should pay close attention. This isn’t random. Share this Vote!🇺🇸

Our democracy only works when we have a non-partisan Supreme Court we can trust. It's past time to make major reforms to the way this court operates - and what it looks like.

After reports of lavish dinners and vacations, and highly partisan appointments, no one believes that this Supreme Court serves as a check and balance on this government.

Trump's Supreme Court is only interested in giving more power to the powerful, regardless of whose rights get trampled. This whole term, they've undermined our rights - from overturning the Voting Rights Act to attacking our 2SLGBTQ+ community. 🧵:

Minnesotans, have you seen a *ton* of attack ads lately? Outside groups are using every legal loophole in the book to hide who’s funding a wave of attack ads against me. But whoever is paying for them thinks they can buy this Senate seat. They're wrong.

62 years ago, President Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law. But we can't relegate the fight for equal rights to the past; it is right here, right now. In the Senate, I'm going to fight to make sure every Minnesotan is seen, valued, and protected.

A year ago today, Republicans gutted SNAP and decimated Medicaid so billionaires could buy another private plane. We need more folks in Washington who know what it means to stretch $20 to the end of the month - because they would know better.

The Trump administration filed 32 appeals to the Supreme Court’s emergency docket in 2025 alone, one analysis found. The Obama and George W. Bush administrations filed just eight petitions in 16 years, according to the Brennan Center for Justice.

But there's this strange propensity of ~influencers~ to believe that avoiding party politics is by necessity a good thing, and that doing things like volunteering with the party, knocking doors, making phone calls, is somehow...not useful, not what's needed.

Because it needs to be said, Katie Phang is an exceptional journalist and we would be a much better country if all journalists were like her who chased after the truth to share with the people instead of chasing after clicks and views for monetary purposes.
