“What do you do in the face of evil men? In the face of evil men protected by strong men and served by weak men?” Katherine Rundell ‘The Poisoned King’ #booksky #reading #chapterbooks

Thugs.

In all the chaos, I would urge folks to remember that a lot of folks now don’t know when their next check will come. The vast majority are good people who love this nation deeply, and many of them are still working despite not knowing when they’ll be paid Have compassion.

Today marks the first day in public media’s history without federal funding. And we’re not going anywhere. Listeners like you keep our mission alive. Protect one of the last places where America comes together to hear itself. Stand with us today. Donate at this link: n.pr/46wamAj

A Black teen named Kalief Browder was falsely accused of stealing a backpack. He spent 3 years tortured at Rikers & died by suicide A wealthy white man named Tom Homan was caught by FBI accepting bribes. He was promoted to a powerful law enforcement position This is what white supremacy looks like

Exactly

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

We still want the Epstein files btw

100% absolutely true.

You live by hate, you die by hate.

Holy shit…You can’t make this up: a plane is circling Soldier Field before the Bears home opener with a banner that reads— “HEY ICE, MASKS ARE FOR CUCKS.” Also the trolling is incredible for those that told us to stop wearing masks during the pandemic.

As a bookish kid, I admired the Supreme Court for having the character to unanimously come out against segregation in the 1950s, when no other branch of our government would have had that courage. So it saddens me to see it lose its way and endorse judging people for the color of their skin today.

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Miami gave the state of Florida 60 days to clear out the immigrant detention facility called Alligator Alcatraz — handing environmentalists and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians a win.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

you’re telling me the trump administration was lenient toward someone accused of sex crimes against children? crazy

State of the Union

The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This former model, with no background in history, has been put in charge of curating what is "appropriate" at the National Museum of African American History.

Noticing a pattern here.

Women dressed in Handmaid regalia follow GOP Congressman Rep. Mike Flood NEBRASKA (R)

weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

i have been thinking a lot about how the entire concept of “the deal” is antithetical to transparency, fair play and rule of law, as larry notes. the deal is necessarily nonstandard, ad hoc and dependent on the whims of the dealmaker

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

one of the single best deals in streaming. i've been paying for PBS Passport for years. it rules

A retired U.S. soldier who worked at Gaza aid delivery sites said, “What I witnessed in Gaza, I can only describe as a dystopian, post-apocalyptic wasteland. We, the United States, are complicit. We are involved, hand in hand, in the atrocities and the genocide that is currently undergoing in Gaza.”

Let them eat cake.

BREAKING: In a First, Majority of Democratic Senators Vote to Stop Arming Israel 26 Democrats joined Bernie Sanders in his effort to end certain weapons' sales to Israel - but were blocked by 70 pro-war senators, including every Republican present. Here are the details, from Prem Thakker:

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity. There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

BREAKING: Israeli Forces Intercept Gaza Aid Flotilla and Take 20 Crew Members Captive The ‘Handala’ is the third aid flotilla ship attacked in the last year, as Israel continues to starve 2 million Palestinians. — @premthakker.bsky.social reports. READ: zeteo.com/p/breaking-i...

Think of all those pro-Israel pundits you saw on your television screens this past year trying to sociopathically justify the mass starvation of Gaza by robotically claiming Hamas steals the aid. They were all lying. Shamelessly. Even the Israeli military confirms it now.

Establishment Dems have more energy to condemn CBS for firing Colbert than for Netanyahu for committing genocide More energy to condemn Mamdani for seeking economic justice than for Cuomo’s 13 credible sexual abuse cases Establishment Dems: grow a spine & actually be an opposition party—for once

Oh I have been waiting on this one.

💩🧵There is currently an outbreak of Cyclosporiasis with 244 cases and 33 hospitalizations as of July 15, 2025. No deaths. Cases are in 26 states. The source (or sources) is under investigation. 🥗❓ What is cyclosporiasis and how do you protect yourself? 👇 www.cdc.gov/cyclosporias...

BREAKING: We just subpoenaed the Epstein files. As a survivor of sexual assault, I know the pain & trauma survivors carry. This subpoena is a massive victory for every survivor who has ever been silenced, dismissed, or harmed. Bondi must release the files immediately. We demand accountability.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Let that sink in for a sec.

Quick question. There are still almost as many troops in LA right now as there were at the end of Afghanistan. Why exactly? Also where are the mass deportations of white illegals, like from Russia?

😻😻😻

You elect a sexual predator whose closest friend was a child rapist and you doubted he was in on the action? Now you’re surprised that he doesn’t want any new evidence of his involvement to get out? Really?

I miss this guy 😔

Imagine leading FEMA and not believing in emergency management. You’d think, as a former governor, she’d know what was going on. But I guess this is what you get when the president’s cabinet is full of unqualified conspiracy theorists. The American people deserve better.

🚨NEW: When ICE raided a Californian farm yesterday, they snatched & disappeared a disabled US veteran who was in his car. They smashed his window, peppered sprayed him & dragged him to the floor. Listen to his wife & sister here, distraught. No-one will tell them where he is. (🎥 ABC 7 News)
