If they weren’t stuck in their Nazi echo chamber on Twitter, and were in the real world like on Bluesky with normal people who have real jobs and families, they would have seen this coming. The political snd media elite must face a big reckoning and ask why they’re so out of touch with real America.

Tonight I'm texting Nancy Pelosi and asking HER for $5

never forget that mamdani’s campaign started to surge after calling tom homan a bitch to his face

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

The results tonight are a reminder that doomerism isn’t productive. Mamdani kept his eyes on the prize, ran a reasonably tight and principled campaign, and never gave into the weird idea that Cuomo was some kind of force of nature

Congrats! Trump’s (illegal) air strikes on Iran energized and empowered the most hardline, nationalistic, anti-western, and belligerent folks in Iran.

yes, the supreme court ruling is bad. yes, they offered not a word of explanation. and, it does not indicate where the Court will land on substantive ruling, only that for *now* the Government can rendition/expel non-citizens to any country of the US's choosing where they would face torture.

A party that actually wanted to mobilize young and disillusioned voters would be studying Zohran Mamdani’s campaign like the Bible

SCOTUS now says this is totally fine and cool

25 year old Parnia Abbasi was an English teacher and a poet who had climbed Iran’s highest peak, Mount Damavand. This is a photo of her at the mountain. US-supported Israel killed her and her parents in a bombing of Tehran's residential neighborhoods. Save Iranian women from US-Israeli rescue.

"Do you want America to be at war with Iran?" No: 85% Yes: 5% YouGov / June 22, 2025

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Oh my godddssss

Viewer tips: If you're looking for Iran news on mainstream TV, BBC right now is SO much better than any of the US outlets. Dramatic, and should be studied in journalism world.

I can’t fucking believe we’re doing this.

Sen. Chris Murphy: "I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States."

Andreessen Horowitz being the lead investor on the funding round for a startup building products that help you cheat in interviews is a major sign of how the pretense is over. Changing the world for the better was a nice trope but it’s all about making money for investors, whatever it takes.

If you’re arrested you should be able to examine the technology used to identify you, especially if there’s a history of inaccuracies. We argue just that in our latest amicus brief.

A while back when I discussed plastic pollution in my newsletter Talking Climate, I said the most important way we can cut it is not by recycling (only 8% is actually recycled) but rather by advocating for plastic bans where we live. And now, guess what - there’s peer-reviewed evidence this works!

Man who’s never worked an honest day in his life says Americans have too many paid holidays

All the worst people coming out of their ivory towers to tell us that more bloodshed is good actually

I need y'all to understand what the NYT, Dem donors, and centrists are doing here. They're pushing the narrative that trans people went too far and we deserve what is happening to us. It's pure victim blaming and it's not done yet, there's a Confessore piece in the works with the same framing.

it is evident that the networks learned not a god damn thing from Iraq other than “that was awesome, let’s do it again”

a nation on edge holds its breath as the former host of celebrity apprentice huddles with his advisors, the wrestlemania ceo and the former co-host of fox & friends weekends

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

Well, that didn't last long. DHS told staff it was reversing guidance issued last week that agents were not to conduct immigration raids at farms, hotels and restaurants. Shadow President Stephen Miller wins again. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

The accused assassin allegedly used data brokers to track down the Democratic lawmakers he murdered. Congress doesn't need any more proof that selling data to anyone with a credit card is deadly. Every American's safety is at risk until Congress cracks down on data brokers.

I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played. CINEMATIC

it is hard to find better examples of the danger of not throwing fascists in jail when you have the chance than Netanyahu and Trump

Interesting. Polls are showing American voters don’t like the idea of being under military occupation by a wildly angry game show host for no reason www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Diplomatic cable also emphasizes the IDF's remark that the strikes are part of a "planned war" rather than than a "limited option"

rightwingers freaking out about 6 or 7 burning driverless waymo cars is the perfect illustration that conservatives view human life worth less than property

We feed you. They hunt us.

"Were treated like dogs. Theyre making us lay on the floor. Were here to help Waymo" Its ok grandpa. The war ended 40 years ago. Go to sleep

Four LAPD officers on horseback surround a man laying on the ground, trample him, and beat him with their polycarbonate "saber" batons.
