Stop. This is an abomination. Do not humanize a sociopath. Texts of regrets to his roomies? Give me an entire fucking break here

we need to stop decrying right-wing physical violence while dismissing hate speech & disinformation as "opinions." the words and ideas are foundational to action. there should be no space for hate and no tolerance for lies.

Israel kills aid-seekers in Gaza and issues new expulsion orders - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-kills-aid-seekers-gaza-issues-expulsion-orders

I hereby propose we call the migrant exception for farmers and restaurant owners the Kid Rock Privilege. It'd be a good way to convey how Trump is fucking over small business owners while helping rich people like Kid Rock. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/u...

"ICE is funded to hold an average capacity of 41,500 people, but more than 50,000 are in detention, according to the agency’s latest figures. The administration has indicated a need for at least 100,000 beds."

🇺🇸🇮🇷❗️Trump vetoed an Israeli plan to assassinate Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei in recent days, - Reuters

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 Netanyahu said Iran has tried twice to assassinate Trump. “He is their #1 enemy. He never took the path that others took, which was to try to bargain with them weakly, essentially giving them the ability to enrich uranium, which meant the path to a nuclear bomb, laced with billions of dollars."

When cruelty is seen as patriotic, compassion is seen as treasonous.

This is super cool from the NWSL team Angel City FC, which is based in LA. They distributed these tshirts at last night’s game.

Christianity in America is a broken religion who gave us a wannabe fascist dictator and two political assassinations yesterday. So if you are sitting in a pew today, what are you doing to fix it?

According to the latest WaPo/Schar School poll, Trump’s handling of deportations has 37% approval, 52% disapproval. And Quinnipiac has it at 40% approval, 56% disapproval. But @facethenation.bsky.social insists “public approval is so high on deportation.”

Elon. LA. Israel/Iran. Makes you wonder how many more distractions before WW3 kicks off.

The owner of Twitter sends out 100 right wing propaganda tweets every single day and the algorithm is set up so that every single person on Twitter has to see every single one of these tweets. Now here’s another piece about Blue Sky’s ideological diversity problem.

🚨🔴⚪️ Arsenal mantain their confidence, optimism to get Myles Lewis-Skelly new deal done as talks are already at advanced stages. #AFC not worried at all by recent links with clubs as he’s fully expected to stay.

omg thank you Fox News 😭

The biggest problems with the club world cup are the fascism and its artifice. Beyond that, the ones that might actually affect things for FIFA are if nobody is actually going to go, like to embarrassing levels and obviously not making the money (in addition to broadcast ratio currently fictional)

BRENNAN: The public approval is so high of deportation PADILLA: It depends how you ask the question. If you ask the same people, 'Do you think we should maintain due process in the US?' the answer is overwhelmingly yes

Breaking news: A former senior Syrian security official told the FBI that American journalist Austin Tice was killed in 2013 on the orders of then-Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, an account that has not been corroborated by the U.S.

When Paris Saint-Germain won the Champions League, the narrative shifted. They had earned European success by stepping back from the splurges on superstars, by spending less and by being smarter. But PSG are still spending. 𝗔 𝗹𝗼𝘁. They're just doing it differently. ✍️ @cweatherspoon.bsky.social

Sunday Read: Momentum is growing for a single transfer portal window in football, and an official recommendation could come as soon as this week. When would it be? January or April? A majority favor January. More: www.nytimes.com/athletic/642...

Because the American media is owned by rich right leaning fascists.

It's pretty obvious that a lot of US mainstream media either doesn't recognise authoritarianism or doesn't want to call it out. Either way, it's an excellent way to destroy trust in your institution.

Cautionary tale: The last time the Iranian military establishment suffered a “decapitation” comparable to the last few days was when the Khomeini regime purged the Shah’s generals. 1/7

🚨🇦🇷 Alejandro Garnacho’s priority is to stay in Premier League while he’s set to leave Man United this summer. Despite Bayer Leverkusen interest and Ten Hag’s appreciation, the deal looks complicated and Premier League is the player’s first choice.

Republican warmongers all over the airwaves this morning.

Padilla on Noem: "How does the cabinet secretary not know the senator from California when she steps foot into Los Angeles? She came through the Senate for confirmation."

Karen Bass: "There is no comparison [with the 1992 riots]. And unfortunately that is what is being pushed, as though the city is in chaos, there's civil unrest everywhere. For most Angelenos, they're like, 'What city are they describing?' They are definitely not describing Los Angeles."
