Better Ways to Say "This Sucks" www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/tha...

Our client, Zaya Perysian, took President Trump to court to challenge his executive order that denies trans, intersex, and non-binary people accurate passports. No matter what, we'll keep fighting until this executive order is gone for good.

The Trump administration has now determined that Harvard violated federal civil rights law. They just won’t leave the university alone another chapter in their endless witch hunt to try and force Harvard to bow to Trump.

funny thing about this is i had no idea it happened until someone asked me about it on stream last night

Pertinent quote…

no one cares that this is illegal but it is illegal and seems like something that might trip the court’s “major questions” doctrine

Stop calling it Alligator Alcatraz like it’s a f***ing theme park. It’s a taxpayer-funded wildlife internment camp built with stolen FEMA funds. Ron DeSantis literally bragged they “get to shower and eat,” like he wanted a prize. They give it a cute name to minimize the cruelty.

“Alligator Alcatraz” will begin operations on Wednesday. This is your reminder that a prison without due process is a concentration camp.

Not gonna lie, I’m kind of turned on right now

AMERICAN PEOPLE: “We hate ICE!” REPUBLICANS: “OK, we are going to make ICE *much* bigger and more powerful with our new deficit spending bill. You’re welcome!”

AOC '28 would be MamdaniX100 -- all the same stuff about youth and inexperience, 'she's never run anything,' ties to socialism and (totally bogus) cries of antisemitism But like Mamdani, she'd bring in a tsunami of young voters. I'd love to see it www.salon.com/2025/06/30/w...

The immorality of this shit just boggles my mind. We are no longer the United States of America. And it’s time the Blue states start realizing that the red states mean them serious harm. The intend harm to blue states.

This is a community driven website that tracks Project 2025. You can look up everything Trump’s administration has accomplished and the status of how they’re destroying our country. www.project2025.observer

One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad is very much worth your time.

There’s something deeply wrong with a society that watches people get snatched by masked men in unmarked cars & looks the other way. Rep @kamlager-dove.house.gov, describes an alarming system of relocating detainees, making it nearly impossible for their families to find them or get legal counsel.

NEW: Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Whoa! Alligator Alcatraz is going to be complete by Tuesday and open for operation on Wednesday. Am I the only one wondering how Ron DeSantis got this together so fast? Floridians, make sure you remember this the next time a hurricane hits and you can’t get disaster relief in your state.

Karma. She's quick. Here's looking at you, Murkowski.

BREAKING Now the bill no longer qualifies for reconciliation, meaning it needs 60 votes instead of 50. In their attempt to buy Murkowski’s support, Republicans ended up sinking their own legislation. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Imagine being so fragile that inclusion feels like a threat, but authoritarianism—just another Sunday.

The 35 richest Republican members of Congress have a net worth of $2.5 billion.  They stand to gain from the GOP budget's tax cuts that disproportionately help the rich.  Meanwhile, they're cutting Medicaid and food assistance for millions of their constituents.

It’s so weird to watch Peter Thiel answer questions about his nefarious data company — he ends up quoting the Bible. It feels like such regression. Like the new dark ages. Like 10,000 years from now they will find pieces of our society and hypothesize on how we managed to have running water.

An URGENT Message from God!!!

Been saying this for years. Abolish the supreme court. Not reform it, abolish it. Lifetime appointments and a history of almost exclusively being used as a tool for radically curtailing the rights of people demonstrate it shouldnt exist.

Rest assured that here in Illinois, our LGBTQ+ community can be who they want to be. They are safe here. They are celebrated here. They are welcome here. And they are free to love who they love here. No matter the month, I'll always be an ally in the fight for equality for all.

Lennar, one of the largest U.S. homebuilders, has issued a drastic housing market warning Excess inventory, Trump tariffs, consumer confidence, inflation, interest rates, affordability contributing to the problem Anecdotally, my cousin who has a 13-year history with Lennar just got laid off

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson predicts that executive power in the United States will become completely uncontainable that our constitutional republic will cease to exist. I couldn’t agree more with her. Fuck you to everyone who voted for the US version of North Korea.

In 1994, I took a lot of heat for this speech warning that the American middle class was in danger. Watch and tell me if I was wrong. https://youtu.be/Bnd0eSuxu84?si=Iw9SwyzxCB9MXBpb

Guys I uhhhhh just fell in love with banana ball??? It’s pure fuckboy energy

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL): "Again, these inner-city rats, they live off the federal government. And that’s one reason we’re $37 trillion in debt. And it’s time we find these rats and we send them back home, that are living off the American taxpayers, that are working very hard every week”

Breaking news: The Supreme Court upheld a portion of the Affordable Care Act that requires health plans to provide free preventive care such as cancer screenings, contraception and immunizations.

A corrupt system is when you need 60 Senate votes to protect voting rights, universal healthcare, reproductive rights, climate justice, lgbtq rights, immigration justice, and a living wage—but only 51 votes to strip them all away. #BigScamBill 1/3

Remember Collins and Murkowski could have stopped this. People who lose healthcare coverage will die because of them

I feel like posting something happy. Here are four books written by people I taught as undergrads.

Guns aren’t America’s favorite tool for self-defense, they are America’s favorite tool for self-destruction.

As long as I live, I’ll never forget seeing wheelchair users zip tied for protesting…

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride. However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
