Let’s remember a hero:

quaker here. do i now have a right to have my children opt out of seeing any school books that relate to war?

Zohran Mamdani’s plan to tax the rich is a 2% tax on income over $1 million. If you make $1.1 million, you’d pay an extra $2,000. Watching working class conservatives and politicians completely meltdown about this is wild.

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

WEIRD.

So, these people are white supremacists of a very specific, American kind. The idea that the right to govern belongs only to a select, racially defined group was *the* political theory of the antebellum and redeemed south. Ask who is being replaced and why that’s a problem, you’ll see it.

It's a lovely idea but primary the fuck out of them just to be sure

Great first episode. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

this dude is fragile lol

Self dunk hall of fame

The key to understanding his brain mush is that *he will never admit being wrong.* Ever. It governs his entire worldview.

Jeez I wonder how he won in America’s most populous melting pot 🤔

It’s like @johnrogers.bsky.social says: if you constantly label everything you don’t like socialism, and you suck, eventually the youth will just embrace socialism.

Who could have guessed these things would be popular

It already has a name: Global warming. apple.news/A2AvBO2v3TMS...

If you're a member of the Democratic gerontocracy, the chances of you catching a primary challenger just went up 1000%.

I'm going to be honest here, I think AI is going to do so much damage to the usable internet that even after it's inevitably crashes out, it's going to take years to disentangle from every space it's polluted, like digital asbestos it's gonna be time consuming effort and likely expensive venture.

Just finished @mikeduncan.bsky.social History of the Martian Revolution. 29 half-hour audio episodes of a fictional retrospective on the future history of Earth and Mars, full of fascinating characters, flawed decisions, important morals. Incredible work, overall.

Tomorrow is a very good day to impeach a president and his entire cabinet. Today would be good too, but tomorrow will work for me.

Writing (and all art) is so often seen as a talent instead of what it truly is: a skill. If you aren’t willing to do the work, don’t be surprised when you don’t reap the rewards (fulfillment, a career, a few scant dollars). If you’re outsourcing the process to a machine, you’re already COOKED.

Republicans lie. That’s how.

Even though they’re in the minority, Congressional Democrats have a lot of tools they can use here. In addition to showing up at detention centers etc, Dems can grind the Senate to a halt, push impeachment articles against Noem in the House, and more. Flood the zone.

Y’all I am just so f*cking tired of these tech weirdos and their obsession with eugenics and spreading their sperm everywhere

He’s so mad that another child is pointing out his failings lol

THIS JUST HAPPENED: Brad Lander walked through the fire, got burned, and came back with a fucking gasoline can. ICE arrested him — now he’s escorting migrants right past them, again. Most politicians wouldn’t show up. He showed out.

Tony Gilroy once said in an interview that ANDOR was the most important work of his life and I feel like this was the reason. Via @anamariecox.bsky.social: newrepublic.com/article/1967...

The most insane thing in this is he offhandedly says workers don’t want paid days off lol. An easily debunked lie.

If I was a reporter I'd ask him to identify two other holidays that should not be days off of work when they predictably deny that this has anything to do with the substance of Juneteenth

This week, WIRED has been helping readers (that’s you!) learn how to win a fight, from Tesla Takedown to out-trolling trolls. We also put together a zine that collects some of the most helpful tidbits in a handy format you can print, fold, and share. Download here: www.wired.com/story/downlo...

AOC played ball and did everything Pelosi told her and was rewarded by being passed over for a 75-year-old who died four months later. There have now been four House votes this year where Dems lost by the margin of members who died in office. No one has more right to say this than her

Beyond excited to announce All One Song: A Neil Young Podcast from @aquariumdrunkard.com Transmissions. @tylerwilcox.bsky.social hosts guests like Steve Gunn Chris Forsyth, & more. Coming June 25 in partnership with @talkhouse.bsky.social. aquariumdrunkard.com/2025/06/18/a...

what is it called when people who aren't cops and don't have a warrant drag you away, because I don't think "arrest" is the word

The term is “stochastic terrorism”

can’t believe this still needs to be said, but: stop following altNPS. none of them work for the NPS and they exist to do Qanon numbers station crap and sell merch. it’s annoying for a lot of us that are actually NPS. thanks

Ross told me he enlisted in the Marines when he was 17 because he loves his country and to help his parents get a path to citizenship. protesting directly in front of Marines deployed by President Trump he told me "it makes me feel sad... a lot of Marines, they’re all Hispanic."
