The US Supreme Court rules that there is no law and there is no constitution

Fuck that stolen illegitimate court.

I think the Democratic establishment severely underestimates the extent to which the younger half of the electorate would cheerfully send Bill Clinton to Gitmo ourselves

A fake robot has more of a heart than all Republicans.

J.K. Rowling is a menace to society whose anti-trans rhetoric is violent and encourages offline violence. Her telling people to take pictures of suspected trans women in bathrooms and disseminate them is sexual harassment. And it puts everyone in the women’s bathroom in danger.

As a leftist, it certainly feels like the Democratic establishment has thrown their back into taking out the left in a way they haven’t with Trump. Sad!

I love that she went beast mode on him

Children from Gaza with cancer are finally making it to Jordan for long-promised treatment. But a plan to allow as many as 2,000 patients out of the war-torn enclave has slowed.

Good God

Our country needs to be stopped

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

Pietra Tordin starts, Pietra Tordin scores #BAONPDX 🌹

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Not that law matters, but this is an impeachable offense so if the Dems wanna do...something...ANYthing...

Jeffries doesn’t call Trump’s act of war illegal or unconstitutional. The leadership of the Democratic Party is worse than useless.

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war. If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

somebody should draw up articles of impeachment over this immediately. I don’t think it’ll happen because we’re too worried about a rally-round-the-flag effect that won’t happen and it’d be a coalition splitter for that reason. but it should

Zohran is on subway takes tomorrow Just a PSA, for all the cool kids out there

Approaching a priest and seeking absolution in the bathroom cuz you feel bad about doing a fascism is wild

Kickstarter UPDATE! You can now choose to support the publication of a poem, story, review or artwork as an add-on, so you don't have to choose whether to get a cool signed book or support a piece of work. You also don't have to stick to supporting just one!

My sentiments today

Yesterday, Donald Trump said that the U.S. has "too many non-working holidays." Our so-called "pro-worker president" thinks that workers should have fewer days off. Meanwhile, he's spending a huge chunk of his presidency (and taxpayer dollars) on the golf course. Hello?

SCOTUS just sided with polluters—again. 115 million people live in areas with dangerously high smog levels, yet this ruling weakens EPA’s ability to stop smog from crossing state lines.This will make Americans sicker. I will keep fighting for public health over corporate wealth.

He's not going to ask for permission and Congress and the Senate won't do anything.

Saying Cuomo (67 year old sex pest) is the future of the national Democratic Party really means national party leadership are intent on driving us off a cliff. This really is the time for our own tea party moment.

The Star Wars available to the public to stream is not the same film that was shown in 1977. But in the U.K., audiences had a rare chance to see it.

There is a very simple reason New York Democrats shouldn't vote for Andrew Cuomo: he is actually a Republican. When given a chance to help Republicans maintain control of his state, he took it. He actively works to keep Democrats from achieving their goals and takes money from Trump supporters.

Between January and May of this year, 5.3% to 5.5% of American workers were holding multiple jobs — the highest level since the Great Recession, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

HAPPY JUNETEENTH (AND PRIDETEENTH) WE LOVE OUR BLACKNESS AND YOURS. KEEP SHOWING UP, KEEP FIGHTING, YOU DESERVE TO BE IN THIS SPACE ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

Many disabled folks rely on powered devices to keep them alive. The extreme heat of summer often causes power outages, which kills disabled people. This is a downstream devastation of climate change - and why climate justice is so important. It’s the marginalized who will suffer the most.

"Peace president."

happy juneteenth, from

As mainstream journalists conform to old standards of “objectivity,” or worse, bend the knee to Donald Trump — @johnjharwood.bsky.social argues that it is the duty of a reporter to call the president what he is: bad. Read the full column: zeteo.com/p/trump-is-o...

trans kids deserve to live

Hey Chuck, this decision rips health care away from Americans

Fuck Chuck Schumer. This is a direct ripping away of rights from transgender people. Our lives are not a distraction.

The Senate reconciliation bill retains the trans healthcare Medicaid/CHIP ban. Call your Senators, we still have a good shot at killing this provision. Hundreds of thousands of people rely on this care.

Kinda wild that we all get to pay taxes to fund a civil war against us

You almost have to appreciate just how beautifully this illustrates the gerontocratic nature of American politics: the Ancient Umbrella is imbued with more experience simply because it existed longer.

BREAKING: Gaza’s civil defence agency says Israeli troops shot and killed at least 20 hungry Palestinians and wounded hundreds of others while they waited for food at a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid site. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/oq5i6c

I love the defiance by the younger gen!!!

FT 2-0 Portland Thorns #BAONPDX They've now beaten NJ/NY Gotham FC, Orlando Pride, and Washington Spirit at home. They remain unbeaten at Providence Park. Player of the Match? Jessie Fleming. Attacking & Defensive MASTERCLASS. Go ahead and enjoy the day folks, GO CELEBRATE!

Three points separate places 5 through 11, with 4 teams on 15 points. If you're team is one of those teams, you're allowed to go through the 5 stages, but remember, every team gets a month to figure it out before the back half. I think I like the league this way a little better.

Pietra Tordin. MY GOODNESS. THE CHIP. 82' 2-0 Portland Thorns. CHILLS. #BAONPDX

THIS JUST IN: today’s attendance - 21,268. The most we’ve had in Providence Park this season prior to today, 17,776. WOW! #BAONPDX

Pietra Tordin plays and good things happen! #BAONPDX 🌹
