Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

Every decision these bastards make is so deliberately anti Indigenous It makes a wound in all of us I mourn for every saguaro. I mourn for Grandmother Tree. For beings that take centuries to stand where they are and are deliberately destroyed to sate hatred www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2...

America cannot have a multiracial, multicultural democracy if the United States Supreme Court is allowed to continue to exist in its current form

#BREAKING: In non-Missouri emergency docket news, #SCOTUS *grants* the Trump administration's request for a stay in the SAVE case, allowing DHS to have access to certain Social Security information. The three Democratic appointees dissent.

A modest proposal. The current people building the future are fucking it up. We want some better people to build the future. Perhaps even a future not built by pedophiles and oligarchs and fans of autocracy.

Here's what I think about when I think back on 9/11. The attack happened on the watch of a Republican president who had been warned, repeatedly & explicitly, that an attack was coming. He dismissed those warnings.

The “Party of Lincoln” is now the “Party of Hitler Had Some Good Ideas.”

Trump: “Wow! The Populist Party in Germany just had a really big night. They finally got tired of the absolutely horrible Immigration rules and regulations which have hurt Germany so badly. THEY ARE ON THE RISE, and not going to take it anymore! MGGA!!! President DJT”

94yr old JOHN WILLIAMS delivered a surprise performance of ‘The Imperial March” from Star Wars in front of 13,000 people at the Hollywood Bowl on Friday night. He is the soundtrack to our lives.

Great example of a targeted attack using a BGP hijack to obtain a valid TLS certificate. Also shows how limited RPKI is against a determined attacker. They simply spoofed the AS path so the hijack looked RPKI-valid. Nice write-up by @eldomador.bsky.social www.kentik.com/blog/latest-...

Chris Wright: "The world has been in this crazy view that demand for oil is going to peak by the end of the decade. Nonsense. A billion people live lives like you & I, 7 billion aspire to. We need massively more growth in global oil production, nat gas production, & coal in the coming decades."

So funny watching the media try to write 2000's era Grand Theft Auto Outrage articles now that the whole country is a casino run by murderers.

Well you gotta hand it to him. Trump’s got a prettier Groom of the Stool than Henry the Eighth and though he’s loaded up with heirs she can also provide all the non reproductive services of Anne Boleyn. Just an example of how Trump’s maximized government efficiency.

Abolishing ICE is now the official position of the Democratic Party

Dante Atkins@danteatkins.bsky.social

Here are things that happened at the DNC today: 1) Resolution calling to abolish ICE unanimously adopted 2) Brand-new early state calendar that reflects the full diversity of the Democratic base 3) Rejection of insider efforts to ban RCV from being used in presidential primaries Great results here

These gloves don't cause neuromuscular incapacitation the way that a taser does. In fact, they only work when applied directly to bare skin. These aren't made for apprehending anyone. These have one and only one use: causing extreme pain to already-restrained captives. In plain language: torture.

Carl T. Bergstrom@carlbergstrom.com

Zero surprise that these are explicitly designed to cause pain without leaving a mark, not to incapacitate. Yes, we're spending $20M to buy ICE agents torture devices.

Abolish ICE

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

Great. Just one more thing to worry about.

The Oort Cloud isn't that close, but it's significantly too close for comfort to know that a binary star system clipped it (well within Sol’s tidal radius) around 70 kyr ago. 🧪 Link: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/2041-8205/800/1/L17​

I saw yesterday that some right-wing outlets were running stories about me, which I’m used to. But this time I’m going to say something about it, because these were framed to imply that I was aligned with their own transphobia. ⬇️

This change was made to CDC.gov 2 days ago (7/22/2026). RFK Jr. made good on his goal to promote his long-debunked 'belief' that there's a causal link between vaccines and autism.
