i almost can’t read this it makes me so angry. delusional grifters with purity fetishes and eugenic worldviews have brought pain, suffering and death to children www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/u...

Robert Kagan, of all people, is making the point that James Madison repeatedly made over thirty years: uncontrolled presidential war powers are the direct path to dictatorship.

Just a reminder going forward... (cartoon from 2003)

the amount of contempt vance has for everyone he's talking to — such that he'll say obvious nonsense as if he's fooling you — is genuinely remarkable

This was not a full-page ad I was expecting to see in the Sunday NYTimes today

They paved paradise, Put up a parking lot. Paradise said: That hurt, but let me tell you about geologic time

The hardest rule of Beltway journalism is that Republican public officials have no agency and bear no responsibility for choices fully within their discretion

Anyway, congrats to all the outlets that did this, nailed it

Brief, barely coherent, full of lies…another signature Trump speech.

What cocktail goes with the end of the world?

Request to replace all instances of "This is not who we are" with "This is not who we want to be."

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

Oh, Jeffrey Dahmer Vance has thoughts?

I expect to see them all on the front lines when Trump gets us into war in Iran, yes?

Another reason I want Cuomo to lose is to shut down the comeback aspirations of his fellow shitheels

The article frames Skrmetti as a poor strategic gamble by activists. In reality, Tennessee passed a categorical ban applicable solely to transgender adolescents which was framed in sex-based terms. The choices were (a) challenge it or (b) concede defeat in advance and abandon trans teens nationwide.

This framing is beneath contempt. The Christian right and MAGA launched an unprecedented assault on the civil rights of a tiny minority and successfully weaponized the pseudoliberal establishment - led by the NYT - to provide it with a medical controversy pretext that doesn’t actually exist.

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

What are some good orgs for trans youth that could use some donations on this awful day? Reply below.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

Woocoodanode?

Dear @kaine.senate.gov I am the wallet inspector. Please hand me yours to make sure it's genuine.

I'm glad we're getting to the point where they've admitted that "anti woke" is pro segregation and pro institutionalized racism.

lol yeah we're really missing out when guys like this don't want to post here

As a translation for the non-Morms out there when DesNews says you're making Utah look bad, they're saying you're not being a good i̶n̶ g̶r̶o̶u̶p̶ member

How do we know they aren’t the cRiMiNaL iMmIgRaNtS who are terrorizing good law-abiding Americans?

Aww, how fun, the SV execs get to play army. What a joke of a country.

The thing with Mike Lee is the two possibilities are either he’s too dumb to know how dangerous a politician joking about an assassination is or he really wants to encourage more.

Imagine if the headline were, "Trump refuses to show most basic decency" or "Trump continues to ratchet up tensions in wake of assassination" rather than "we hang on Trump's every word."

Someone dear to our family suffered a stroke today. Thanks to fast medical intervention and state of the art treatment, he is stable with a good prognosis for recovery. Medical research saves lives. And medical research requires investment. Don’t stop demanding our gov’t restores this funding.

Beautiful but heartbreaking statement. Please read only if you feel up to it. It’s so sad but incredibly sweet and (in its way, though written with tremendous grief) very life affirming.

Saturday was a moving, upbeat, strengthening and inspiring day in SLC. More than 15,000 defenders of democracy between the U of U and Pioneer Park event. Hate came too, yet we shall overcome with our courage, caring and love: bsky.app/profile/oddl...

Once again, the Washington Post feels the need add "many critics say" to something that is obvious and true.

Don’t be unnecessarily wasteful and throw away perfectly good working appliances, but if you’re in the market for a new electric pressure cooker I use a Breville Fast-Slow Pro and I love it with every fiber of my being

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

They hate science and academia but still want to claim their legitimacy
