Sports betting is far more toxic to sports and to our society than the handful of trans women who compete, but nobody seems to make this into a culture war issue.

“A Busy, Busy Day at the Airport” By Ruben Bolling Genius. Click in.

Lyft driver picked me up from UNC, turned out he was a medicinal chemistry post-doc in a building near mine, until his grant got cut last month. Worked on novel antivirals.

This feels auspicious

“What’s most painful isn’t just the attacks – it’s the shrug. “Not long ago, we were told to ‘believe all victims.’ But today, Jewish victims are asked to justify their pain. As if the firebomb wasn’t about us – we just happened to be standing in the way.” www.usatoday.com/story/life/h...

🚨 Trump’s Bedminster golf club flagged for 18 health violations in latest inspection—earned lowest grade in county (32/100) Among the violations: 🤢 Expired milk 🤢 Raw meat stored above cheese 🤢 A hand-washing station without soap me, for @forbes.com

The thing about Whiskey Pete's implementation of what are supposed to be anti-DEI measures is he has targeted people who were historical figures W/O DEI. I can assure you that Harriet Tubman did not rely on DEI measures to achieve what she did. So did Harvey Milk. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Friendly reminder when you see media report numbers and events quoting this: - “Gaza Ministry of Health” = Hamas - “Gaza health officials” = Hamas - “Gaza authorities” = Hamas - “Gaza officials” = Hamas - “Local authorities” = Hamas - “Health authorities” = Hamas

These ships honor giants of American history — people like Marylanders Thurgood Marshall and Harriet Tubman, who helped forge a stronger, more powerful nation and made us a global example of freedom in action. This is repulsive.

On Friday afternoon in Normandy, France, an elderly rabbi was attacked by three drunk men. They isolated him, shouted insults, and punched him in the stomach. Simply for wearing a kippa. How many more Jews must be spat on, beaten, set on fire, or shot before it’s enough?

We were *this close* to mass murder. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Happy pride month ❤️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Our current system of justice operates in two stages. 1) Attorneys present evidence to a jury in front of judge, where the facts of the case are considered thoroughly. 2) Our president decides if he can potentially make money off the situation and sets criminals free accordingly

Seriously if immigrants were truly a threat, the people detaining them would be heroes

Here’s that Intifada you’ve been wanting. Hope it’s worth it.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "The Christians in Congress should be feeding the hungry, but they're cutting food stamps. They should be healing the sick, but they are cutting Medicaid. They should be standing up to the billionaire class, but instead they're cutting their taxes."

From the governor of Colorado

Hamas did the crime, then persuaded credulous western media to fix blame on Israel for its own action

He illegally closed investigations into his businesses, illegally fired regulators, illegally had the state dept pressure countries into allowing starlink, and illegally got huge new no-bid govt contracts. Why are we talking about this like he took some time off to renovate his kitchen?

I wish a journalist would interview these ICE employees, okay if they stay anonymous, just to learn what they think they are doing and why they think they are doing it

Sometimes I’m annoyed that the Dems can’t come up with anything to beat the people running on “vote for me I’ll kill you”

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Department of Homeland Security officers invading a congressman's offices and arresting a staffer who tried to stop them is very, very bad. gothamist.com/news/homelan...

A writing on the wall of a cafe in Kharkiv. Our current life is in those four lines written by Vitalii Lisovytskyy: "Put on your warmest pants, Or your feet will get cold in the shelter. I have loved you long before the war, And I'll say that on Victory Day."
