Americans, please don’t worry about your child coming home from school a different sex. Worry about your child not coming home from school because they were shot to death.

Read this please.

Multiple things are true here. This is a fascist, authoritarian administration. It has not yet fully consolidated power. Some of its efforts to do so have been frustrated. Trump is a doddering, confused egomaniac who started an unpopular war that's costing everyday people a lot of money.

BAIER: The president says 'SI.' Are you into SI or AI? BEZOS: I do like SI, because 'artificial' is not a very flattering thing. Like, nobody wants an artificial sweetener, artificial flavoring.

we've reached a new milestone- the U.S. average diesel price has hit $6.301/gal while gasoline is up to $4.355/gal. I expect both of these to jump noticably over the next 48 hours. diesel could hit $6.60/gal in a few days, surpassing the inflation-adjusted peak seen in 2022.

If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this. Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how. Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:

Fascists are bad for everyone... including other fascists.

Milo Yiannopoulos, the prominent right-wing agitator and early supporter of President Trump, was arrested by ICE officers at the New Orleans airport on Friday, the Trump administration said. nyti.ms/4d64q3C

Riley Gaines is the ultimate "Everyone Gets a Trophy" athlete. She went off the rails because race officials decided that the athlete she tied for 5th place got the 5th place trophy, and she got the 6th place trophy. I swam competitively as a child and if you finished below 3rd, you got nothing.

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social

Anyway, the thing to remember about Riley Gaines is that competing against a trans swimmer was the best thing that ever happened to her. If she'd just finished fifth on her own, she'd have been immediately forgotten forever. But *tying* for fifth because of a trans competitor? CHA-CHING, baby!

21st century America is a multiracial democracy whose commerce, culture and cuisine reflect the influence of immigrants from every country on earth. The only people seemingly unable to assimilate into this society are white Republicans.

Tom Emmer: "Minnesotans are so afraid that you're gonna call us a racist, you're gonna call us an Islamophobe. You know what? I'm done being even the least bit careful. Somalis don't assimilate. And if they don't assimilate, then they should go the hell back to where they came from."

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), known as the “Iran nuclear deal,” was finalized on Tuesday, July 14th, 2015. All 109 pages of that agreement were made available to the public on that same day.

Jokes aside, as you’re reading this, think about how many bogus cases have been brought forward under this administration. Then ask yourself how many of them might have had this exact same behavior in the grand jury process. This is bigger than our case, and the administration knows that.

He's not against Jewish people and he won't let the anti-Semites he hires if elected work around Jews. Well, ok then....

State Rep. Scott Bottoms, a GOP candidate for Colorado Governor, says some of Colorado’s leading Democrats will soon be arrested and tried for treason.

Helluva election platform.

"As prices soar for gas and groceries and everything in between, we in the Republican Party have listened to ordinary Americans. We will be providing them what they need and what they demand -- a tacky gilded ballroom where the president can do his little jerk-off dance to the Village People 'YMCA'"

i'm not a religious person. And I don't care if anyone else is or is not.

Hunter Walker@hunterw.bsky.social

If anyone's interested, I am a (culturally and ethnically) Jewish person who sometimes prays a bit. I also am trying to practice zen Buddhism. I meditated today but I also just bought some pernil, which is against both religions. I try my best out here.

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

Not to get technical but the bombers were trying to bomb right wingers who were protesting Mamdani., they were not trying to bomb Mamdani's house. Yes, its an ourobouros of violent idiocy.

REPORTER: Yesterday you told us Israel was going to strike Iran and that's why we needed to get involved. But today the president said Iran-- RUBIO: No. Were you there yesterday? REPORTER: Yes. I asked the question

Looking at the 2024 crime figures, it's absolutely insane how Trump, tech billionaires, and centrist pundits fooled everyone into thinking Biden had turned the U.S. into some Hobbesian hellscape. 50-year lows for violent crime, armed robbery, property crime. Second-lowest homicide rate.

These guys seemed very proud for a few seconds after they finished executing someone for no reason. So let's make them famous.

There was NO NEED for those guard members to be in DC. This person died in a Trump propaganda operation.

I keep hearing about how Dems are the party of "identity politics" and yet it's Republicans who always reach to identity for everything. God forbid we talk about guns. There have been 452 mass shootings this year; this shooting doesn't even make the list because fewer than 4 people were shot.
