not sure how anyone can stay on an app thats fighting in court for the right to generate non consensual nudes of people, including children

August recess starts next week, and Clay Fuller will be back in Northwest Georgia. Clay, make time for the people you represent. Let them hear directly from both of us and decide who has earned their vote. Leadership Matters. #GA14

The U.S. Secretary of Defense just stated that—so far—the war with Iran has cost $37.5 billion dollars. That's since February. That same amount is how much the United States spent on planetary science from FY2013 through FY2026 inclusive. Thirteen years of planetary science or five months of war.

OSSOFF: I expect tonight's speech to be equal parts pathetic and dangerous. I think we will hear from the world's most famous sore loser, a prime time presidential sour grapes address reheating, debunked conspiracy theories about an election in which he was soundly defeated.

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."

The Roberts Court’s jurisprudence on discrimination echoes the logic of the infamous Korematsu decision upholding Japanese internment—a case whose approach the Roberts Court has both condemned and imitated. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

every gardener i follow is going absolutely hogwild flexing that they eat lettuce from behind their house. i've never seen gardeners act like this in my life. this is our super bowl. this is our olympics. gold medal in shitting normally

in a lot of ways the current republican government is just the worst, extractive red state governance taken national. total hostility to public goods, total indifference to long-term investment, and a monomaniacal interest in using the state to enrich private benefactors

The news cycle has moved on since the Louisiana v. Callais decision on April 29, but we cannot. My thoughts on our continued fight for voting rights:

catching up with stuff and i’ll just say that if this report is to be believed then this campaign was more grift than actual effort to win a senate seat

What news out of Colorado, where Victor Marx’s emergence as the GOP nominee for governor manages to startle even in the Trump era.

The “Platner team” needs to go away and leave us alone. We have had enough of you.

And, folks, don’t forget who else was paying millions to Fight Agency, the Platner/Fetterman consultants. 👇 As I have shown continuously for months these Bernie alumni companies like this and Middle Seat are all raking in lots of 💵in all this. bsky.app/profile/maud...

I’m a farmer. I know what 170 acres means. Before massive data centers move into Northwest Georgia, folks deserve straight answers about our water, power, land, and who actually benefits. That’s not too much to ask. That’s leadership. Leadership Matters!!

funny how the cutting edge of the far right is just regurgitated slaveholder agitprop from 1850.

Reminder: we are war crime-ing Cuba right now because Trump and Rubio want to collapse their government. Not a major part of the media discourse but it should be.

let this be a lesson to deal with your feelings of gender anxiety and masculine inadequacy with a hobby or therapy or something and not a high stakes senate election

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

It’s a beautiful evening, the National Mall is open and people are having a wonderful time.

Elon Musk says that no one died because of his demolition of USAID, and that "Kristof is lying through his teeth." So here I invite him to join me on a visit to Africa to see for himself: www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/o...

I simply do not believe that I should be required to treat someone like this as a legitimate and respectable member of civil society

we are one john roberts heart attack away from the complete dissolution of the reconstruction amendments and instantiation of a formalized caste system

If you owe a woman $5 million for sexual assault, you also owe the country your resignation.

putin is bleeding his country dry for his own ego and megalomania

currently reading a whole bunch of petitions and editorials from black americans of the revolutionary era and it is so striking (and frankly inspiring) to see how the ink wasn't even dry on the declaration before black americans were demanding that the patriots live up to their stated ideals

The Pentagon lied about injuries inflicted on US soldiers in Iran.

Ossoff: “The election deniers, they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing to tell, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission. And you may have seen that one of those election deniers now asks to represent Georgia in the Senate.”

Exciting news: I just learned that @boltsmag.org has won a Nonprofit News Award tonight. The award is for the powerful (& distressing) story reported by @burness.bsky.social on the zealous prosecution of a community of American Samoans by the state — you may remember the article:

Just had an amazing conversation with Georgia's next Agriculture Commissioner, Katherine E. Juhan-Arnold. She has real plans for the future of Georgia agriculture, and I'm 100% with her. She'll be a great partner when I'm in Washington. We're going to do this together.

A white supremacy tax of $300 Billion - all because a Black President was able to come to a historic agreement with Iran and that made Trump jealous. The US suffers as a result. Racism is expensive…

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

KAGAN: “.. Any agreement resembling the JCPOA will be presented by opponents as proof that the entire enterprise was a costly exercise in political gamesmanship that ended where it began, or somewhere worse.” www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Khanna: "This is a Dred Scott court. They have engaged in the fastest rollback of Black political rights since Rutherford Hayes ended Reconstruction in 1877. One-third of African American seats are threatened. We are not speaking up strongly enough against a court that's rolling back civil rights"

The main difference between the Bible and To Kill a Mockingbird is that when someone calls To Kill a Mockingbird their favorite book, they’ve probably read it.

🚨If a state is making it harder for your family to vote, why reward them with your talent and your NIL money? I said what I said. You can still make it to the NFL, NBA, or anywhere else without propping up politicians attacking democracy and voting rights.

NAACP STATEMENT: “.. The NAACP will not watch the same institutions that depend on Black athletic prowess to fill their stadiums and their bank accounts remain silent while their states strip Black communities of their voice.” @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
