They've monetized and incentivized committing crimes against humanity. It's a scandal on par with Pete Rose betting on baseball, if Pete Rose were undersecretary of defense, and baseball was murdering civilians with bombs.

"At least three casualties have been reported in an active shooter incident at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis. Authorities say gunfire was also heard near Beach Hall. Students and staff remain under lockdown as the search for the suspect continues. " #Annapolis

DNC Spox: “This afternoon, there was a bomb threat to DNC HQ that was determined to not be credible by the U.S. Capitol Police. Out of an abundance of caution, Capitol Police is conducting an interior sweep of the building."

This was so genius. Good to see someone bringing “wholesome” back to politics.

One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.

Will you be able to get a COVID-19 vaccine? The answer may depend on your age, insurance coverage, health and finding a pharmacist who will provide the shot. The process has become muddled this year thanks to new federal guidance on who can get the shots. bit.ly/4gjRt73

This is America. It doesn’t have to be. We could actually fix it. We just have to love our neighbors more than we do our guns. As wild as it sounds, it really is that simple.

Kids were shot dead in church today in Minnesota but people will not get as worked up about it as a Cracker Barrel logo change.

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung: “I look forward to your meeting with the chairman Kim Jong-un and construction of a Trump Tower in North Korea and playing golf at that place.”

Ratings have always been the justification. They’d have zero justification if everyone stopped freaking watching them. Facts. #TURNOFFFOXNEWS Also #ABANDONTWITTER Literally one and the same hashtags. Tuhmaytoe/tuhmahtoe Stop enabling fascists by supporting their platforms.

Florida bans the Diary of Anne Frank. A literary classic that serves as a cautionary tale about the rise of fascism and the importance of documenting atrocities as they’re occurring. We all must document this time in history. Keep copies. Write everything down. Make sure that the truth will out.

Jesus Christ. We're living in a fascist nation, y'all. Please adjust all your settings accordingly and get with the groups in your local are that are fighting it.

With legal challenges to this law pending, we cannot justify building the expensive required infrastructure. For now, we have made the difficult decision to block access in Mississippi. To learn more, read our blog post:

September 3, China is doing their military parade thing.

AFP News Agency@en.afp.com

🇨🇳 VIDEO: Chinese troops swelter through rehearsal for major military parade Rows of neatly dressed soldiers march in unison at a training ground in a humid Beijing ahead of a massive parade that China says will see the Asian giant unveil new domestically produced military hardware.

The cicadas are absolutely maddening. For the last few years we have been warned that “this given summer” was going to be awful, and yet it kinda really wasn’t. But my god the last few weeks have been pure hell — MAKE IT STOP.

Fascism might show up and remind civilization what an asshole he is every once in awhile, but he *always* gets kicked tf out and blacklisted by Historians. There will *never* be a seat at the table for Autocracy or any of his brethren.

For the love of all that is humane, someone… roll this back. Don’t let this become the monstrosity it is gravitating toward. Please.

ACLU@aclu.org

NEW: West Virginia, Ohio, and South Carolina are deploying hundreds of their National Guard troops to DC in an escalation of President Trump's federal takeover of our capital. Trump is engaging in political theater to expand his power and sow fear in our communities, but we won't be intimidated.

Alien: Earth episode one brings a big, big, big Alien (1979) meets Battlestar Galactica (2004) vibe. Easily, best television premiere I’ve seen in decades.

Alien: Earth!!!! This easily has the potential to become the best television series ever produced. The pilot is absolutely phenomenal. Watch this right tf now.

Alien: Earth’s first two episodes debut in a little over 30 minutes. Hopefully we’re getting something fantastic.

WIRED@wired.com

“Alien: Earth” creator Noah Hawley tells WIRED he imagined the planet’s future based on his fears as a parent about the present, from dystopian capitalism to the “moral horror” of growing up. “Alien: Earth” premieres August 12 on Hulu and FX.

Demand the Epstein Files be made public NOW.

Denise Wheeler@denisedwheeler.bsky.social

Epstein had the most dirt on Trump of everyone alive. The kind of dirt that gets a person knocked off. With Epstein now out of the way, it's Ghislaine Maxwell that holds that card. In case anyone is still wondering why she is flitting around, outside the prison like a summer intern.
