Seen this story all day today. Every headline says "27 year old Minnesota man..." I have yet to see one with the headline that the man was Somalian. The most maligned and denigrated group in Minnesota www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

The racism that Abdul El-Sayed is facing from Republicans, the press, and even some Democrats is so disgusting.

It is INSANE that Chuck Schumer hasn't put out a statement on Ilhan Omar yet

I was born into a 25 cent oyster world and by god I want to die in one again

This is how the U.S. is choosing to treat vulnerable children

I love this so much❤️ 122 new dads met their babies for the very first time yesterday when the USS Abraham Lincoln finally returned to San Diego. Families waited almost a year for this moment.

Truly incredible that this is how the media is choosing to eulogize the longest-serving Republican Speaker of the House in US history, who was a serial sexual abuser of children. For all the talk about "deep state" plots to abuse children, no one even remembers this case.

NEW: DHS agents tracked people observing ICE arrests, photographed them, ran their plates, pulled personal information, and added them to a Palantir database, according to newly unsealed court filings. w/ @regret.bsky.social

'TNF' looks at Deshaun Watson's season 🏈 📺 Al Michaels: "If you follow football, you know the story ... we don't have to go through the whole Deshaun Watson thing." Kirk Herbstreit: "When you convert on 3rd downs, you hit passes, you lead this team to victories, those boos turn into cheers."

I don’t go high when they go low. I get LOUD. Because the soul and humanity of this country are at stake. /end

context. sentiment. inferences. People seriously cannot do these things anymore. That’s why they angrily demand you spell out every joke, every reference, super duper promise you mean something only this one prescribed way. They cannot do it for themselves or tolerate the any ambiguity.

Glad about the result, but I don’t think it speaks well of us as a country that after two years of human rights violations, war crimes, naked gangster corruption, and contempt for the Constitution, he’s finally unpopular because gas got expensive.

Agree with this & I'd broaden it: as income inequality increases, the affluent class increasingly strains to free itself of public services. Those services suffer & the flywheel accelerates. Only way to stop is to say, for certain things, no: you have to use the same shit as us.

It's pretty damn impressive how much ground Mayor Mamdani has been able to cover after only nine months in office on a wide range of basic quality-of-life issues in NYC. I was reading through the numbers this morning, and they're kinda astonishing. (thread)

I watched Macklemore’s speech at the concert. He didn’t say anything remotely hateful of Jews. He criticized the Israeli government, but explicitly reached out Jews in the audience to say he loved them. That he was opposing genocide, not Jews. Outrageous that big arenas canceled him.

this is a damn good post from a U.S. Senator and I wish all of them could figure out how to talk like this

there is no presidential candidate jon ossoff unless keisha lance bottoms is elected governor of georgia. why? we can’t afford to lose that senate vote, so he would need a democratic governor to replace him with a democrat.

After 9/11, many Americans opted to drive instead of fly. But because plane travel is much safer than car travel, the shift led to a surge in crash deaths. Researchers have found that the number of lives lost (2,000+) is comparable to those killed on 9/11. www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...

There was of course a big effort to electrify buses under the Biden admin, which the Trump admin and GOP Congress killed.

Trump continues to disperse disaster recovery funds based on how states vote, which for any other president or public official, in any other time, in any other country, in any other context would be a morally horrific scandal that would dominate headlines for months.

This is bleak as hell.

"We've heard you complaining about how much a gallon of gas costs, and we've responded by making sure you'll need much more of them."

Dolly Parton's family asked that, in lieu of flowers, fans make a donation to the singer's Imagination Library. Here's what the charity does ⬇️ www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Hanging? We need to call this what it is: LYNCHING. Ten Black Americans in less than two years. Every one of these deaths deserves answers, transparency, and scrutiny. No one should look at these images and expect Black Americans to shrug this off, especially in light of our history.

I'm sure people will get mad at @humantransit.bsky.social for saying this, but he's right. Campaigning on fare-free transit shrinks the coalition of people willing to invest in public transportation. It endangers transit's survival. humantransit.org/2026/08/an-i...

There are many advocates that need to stop defending e-motos as if they're bicycles. The longer we pretend this scrutiny is unwarranted, the more damage it does to actual e-bikes, which are legitimate tools enabling people to safely and affordably ditch their cars.

Looks like I got my answer: "The presence of the [per-minute] fee nudged cyclists toward several unsafe behaviours." "The policy recommendation is to avoid such strategies in favour of less time-pressuring schemes." doi.org/10.1016/j.tr...

While Mike Collins has spent his entire time in Congress shitposting and creating memes on X, Ossoff has been working hard every day for his constituents - whether they are Democrats or Republicans.

CHARLAMAGNE THE GOD: If Jesus came back today, which political party do you think would be most uncomfortable for him? TALARICO: I think both political parties would be deeply uncomfortable. Jesus is far more radical than any political party. And when I say 'radical,' I don't mean extreme.

New: We found 50 cops who misused Flock cameras and other license-plate readers for personal purposes, often to spy on their girlfriends or ex-wives. He "watched every single move I made. ... Who do you turn the chief of police in to?" wapo.st/3S6rTuo

I will never, EVER have sympathy or anything but contempt for the financial situation of someone that sends their kids to private school. I'm sure someone will get mad at me in the menchies about this, IDC.

This kind of deranged thinking is ubiquitous in the US, across demographics and political parties.

I can fault Mayor Wu for many things. Courage isn’t one of them. Her showing up took guts, and she said the right things. Let’s hold her, and all our officials, to what is said in times like these when the right path is obvious. 12/?

We can't go numb to this. We can't let this become normal.

The NYT obituary of Lindsey Graham makes no mention of his effort to overturn the 2020 election by calling Georgia’s secretary of state to intimidate him into manufacturing votes for Trump. The Times, like all news media, is GOP propaganda erasing Republicans’ history as election deniers
