If this is the case, then there looks like a route for the US and Iran to climb down, at least for now. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Maybe Pete Hegseth accidentally added the Ayatollah to the iran pc small group on Signal

Tech companies only have five ideas: robot slave (actually just human slaves), hallucinatory counter-reality, untaxable money, The Everything App, and Clippy

California is considering Senate Bill 627, the "No Secret Police Act," which would prohibit most law enforcement officers from covering their faces during official duties SB805 No Vigilantes Act

I blame carbrain for a lot - perhaps too much - and one is that people have absolutely no sense of geography and scale when they imagine invading countries and regime change. Similarly how people can imagine a small protest on one block in Los Angeles means "Los Angeles is burning"

just worth pointing out that Theo Von is 45 years old and too old to be drafted and lives out his midlife crisis by pretending to be in his 20s with help from the media that is also filled with men experiencing midlife crisis

Before the B-2 stealth bombers had even turned from home, Trump and his allies were hailing the Iran bombing raid a total victory But rather than citing his own intelligence community or military advisers, Trump turned to an anonymous Twitter account www.wired.com/story/donald...

Less Turning Point USA, more Love Island USA

ah yes, babies. that famous alternative to feeling burned out and overextended.

the demographic most likely to be sent to war or have their sons sent to war elected another war president

I want to thank @eringloriaryan.bsky.social for giving me a chance to talk about my friend Melissa Hortman on Hysteria Pod. After everything that's happened, we need good people to step up for our neighbors, our community, for justice. That’s Melissa’s legacy. open.spotify.com/episode/5gkj...

This is all very funny but it also demonstrates a real fucking bleak turn for health and wellness stuff where it’s moved from “here are things you can do to make yourself healthier” to “if you do not do these things and get the expected results you are defective” which is basically govt policy now

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

MAGA's bad plastic surgery is offensive to Los Angeles culture

A friend's (green card holding) nanny had ICE Agents come to her HOME this week, at 6 am. Said they were looking for information about previous tenants, but used that as pretext for entering their home and questioning her and her husband.

I’m on @crooked.com’s What A Day with Erin Ryan @eringloriaryan.bsky.social talking SCOTUS upholding TN’s ban on gender affirming care for minors: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

no matter your politics it’s disrespectful to joke about someone’s health. don’t say kristi noem died from getting her ass stuck in a wooden barrel and floated off a waterfall and her head hit every tree branch on the way down and an eagle flew by and grabbed her hat. don’t say stuff like that

"Fueling liberal outrage."

Bro, you gotta block that guy, not because he sucks, but because he’s only here to get you to say stuff to him that will get you in legal trouble.

Whoever media trained Senator Markwayne Mullen should have told him that letting his mouth flap open like that when he's between words makes him look like a dumb hick.

Trump talks about war with Iran like it's the next week's episode of The Celebrity Apprentice. "Who will get fired? Arsenio Hall? Bret Michaels? The Ayatollah? Better stay tuned to find out!"

*waving my hand by my ear, cupping it, leaning toward the flatline*

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

Ever since Tim McVeigh, US leaders have pretended all this right-wing domestic terrorism is made up of “lone wolves." They’re not. They’re foot soldiers. Violence like the Minnesota shooting is what Trump wants—he wants an opposition too scared to stop him. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-s-no...

thinking again about this 2018 cover

Illinois has enshrined protections to meet this very moment. In a time of increasing overreach and hateful rhetoric, it's more important than ever to reaffirm our commitment to the rights and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community. You have a home here always.

The less people hear about the Republican budget bill, the more likely they are to support it. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Just like how it’s not sex discrimination, it’s just deciding whether a procedure is allowed based on the sex of the patient.

Fun fact about ICE: starting salary for most ICE agents is between 27-35K, on up to about 55K for more senior staff. With some bonus, locality, and overtime pay. They're doing this for less than what full-time bloggers were getting paid in the 2010's.

ICE is the new American gestapo. No one is safe.

When you’re not a fan of culture that promotes rants and performative emotion

"Of the nearly 700 posts Lee authored on Twitter, 47 of them came between the hours of 3am and 6am eastern standard time." Read the whole thing for our full analysis of his tweets (!) and more. The latest Press Pass from @cheetah.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/mike-lee-t...

NYC: if you can get to Federal Plaza near the Brooklyn Bridge/City Hall subway stops, come support Brad Lander, the latest Dem politician to be manhandled/detained by ICE for no legal reason. Zohran Mamdani is there in support of his fellow mayoral candidate. NYT's darling Cuomo nowhere in sight.
