But have you considered, “we can’t give Ukraine what it needs because we might need all this stuff in case we have to turn around and fight a hypothetical war we made up in our heads?”

the last gasp of the democratic party will be a 104-year-old nancy pelosi endorsing a 93-year-old chuck schumer's bid for superminority senate leader

I guess I find it strange when people say that trans activism doesn't focus enough on material issues when 99% of the real life trans activism I see is very much about housing, jobs, healthcare access, the justice system, and basic safety.

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

“oh noooo my emotional support southern plantation”

Mood.

Chess analysis: By disconcertingly eating his own rook and two queen side pawns, Trump is opening up the board and affording himself various attacking and defensive plans during a congested middle game.

BREAKING: Iran launches new missile barrage at Israel. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/xgr18s

Whenever Trump goes on about how all the immigrants are dangerous criminals and we have to get them out of the country Just remember that he pardoned this guy

Nothing against the community who are largely good people but furries saying this stuff always makes it so much funnier

HANG UP YOUR WAR SCYTHE, TODAY YOU WILL BATTLE THE THOUGHTS THAT WOULD STEAL OUR JOY. AND YOU WILL WIN.

"a MoVeMeNt ThAt CoUlD GrAppLe mOrE HoNeStLy WiTh ScIeNtIfIc UNcErTaInTy" Motherfuckers, we ARE scientists, and we are being actively censored by the state and pushed out of scientific enterprise in this country. Who's failing to grapple honestly with science? With reality? Pardon mon français 💕

okay and here is my ‘sounds like a shitpost but it’s genuine’ UK heatwave tip: if there is a Saxon or Norman church near you, and it’s open, go sit in it. not gothic, they have too many windows, get you some thick stone walls with some high up tiny windows. they stay cold. and you can just sit there

The media must stop using this photo of Adriana Smith from her first pregnancy. She was much further along in this photo than she was when declared brain dead. She was only 9 weeks when she died. This photo choice seems to be an attempt to make the medical experiment more “palatable”

Bravo!! NAACP The way I see it. He is no President "Waste of Time" "Won't give a platform to fascism"

Character!

This is a moment to oppose war and show there is a clear difference between the parties — but @schumer.senate.gov & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social are nowhere to be found. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/o...

Remember when SCOTUS's recently weakened NEPA? This is the opposite of that.

Gee. The same thing many of us have been saying for years keeps proving true. Age verification tech doesn't work. Yes, vendors insist it works fine. But they're trying to sell. And governments (and some activists) keep falling for it.

listen, what's a bigger threat to the Jewish people: a presidential administration where the median staffer thinks Jews created skin cancer to publish those of Aryan blood, or a mayor who wants cooling stations during the summer

Congress better wake up quickly, before it's consigned to constitutional irrelevance.

I repeat myself about the guy who just shut the capital to hold a damn parade on his birthday

This makes sense when you remember both Clyburn and Cuomo partnered with Republicans in their state after the last census to consolidate their own power to the loss of multiple safe democratic congressional districts

“No Americans have ever applied… pick peaches in brutally hot Texas summers… if it weren’t for them there would be no peaches…” 🍑

“The patriotism of some prominent conservatives often seems to require rewriting history to prove their love of America…” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Talk to any scientist or logistics officers involved in the T&E parts of the 1980’s SDI program and you’ll find out why the whole concept of “Golden Dome” is technologically “pie in the sky” even now after 40 years.

The global aid sector is quite literally on the brink of death right now and the human fallout globally is already obscene and will keep getting much, much worse. People in the U.S. need to be far more aware of this - and angry - than they currently are.

Good morning

The through-line of every policy, electoral, and organizational choice made by the leaders of the Democratic Party is that no one else gets to be leaders of the Democratic Party

you'd think that when you're in the group "sanctuary" as a derogatory term you might question whether you're on the right side of history! these cities are *protecting* people? oh they're providing *refuge* ??? oh horror, oh woe!

I don’t understand how a 67 year old man from a political dynasty is going to do anything differently for the Democratic party’s future than the rest of them already in power.

“Every promise Kennedy made to Senator Cassidy has been broken.” @gregggonsalves.bsky.social is spot on as always

Fear of retirement is not a useful substitute for a political philosophy.

Out of 84 people rounded up, only 2 had criminal records, in case you’re still too dumb to see what’s really going on. abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...

Those who keep saying “I just want to have a nuanced discuss about USAID”…. USAID has already been taken out back and shot. What nuanced discussion do you want to have about an agency that is *already dead*, and whose death is currently causing immense global suffering?

Trump: We need fewer holidays! Also Trump: Why didn’t anybody come to my birthday racism parade?

Oh he’s getting ready to TACO

Making up guys to be mildly bewildered by. Guy sitting on his city stoop, drinking beers, with a huge boombox blasting the original Broadway cast recording of Cats

Keep on masking, friends. You do NOT want to get the "razor blade throat" Nimbus #COVID variant, which is also whimsically described as "swallowing broken glass". Vaccines are good but they do NOT prevent you from getting COVID; they just make it less awful if you do get it.

Commentary: We turned the Wellstone tragedy into something good. We can do it again.

I mean you wanna know what would show China the limits of its power? Defeating Russia, for example.

If we did socialism (they would not do this willingly) we could make all housing public, cap rents at five percent of income and make housing a human right. Just an idea.

I cannot truly explain how it feels to have previously been a contributing writer to a paper that has now dedicated itself to destroying my community. I want to say it's weird, or scary. But it's more than that. It's radically destabilizing. My past and present selves don't recognize each other.

If you’re under 30, you weren’t even born the last time Andrew Cuomo lived here. This is your city. Vote like it.

Lots of folks have been asking me if you can take a version of my shark field research skills course if you're a student at another institution, or if you can just take it as an interested non-student. The answer is now...yes! We will be offering an open enrollment version this fall. Stay tuned!
