imagine telling people a year ago that the neocons of the bulwark will be the strongest allies of trans people while every liberal publication around decides to consistently and openly campaign against basic civil rights for trans people. 2025 feels like a simulation

[Enter one with a Clerk.] SMITH THE WEAVER The clerk of Chatham. He can write and read and cast accompt. JACK CADE O monstrous!

“ICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corps” is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is

Holy shit...I applied for a job with The Onion back in April and this was literally one of my 30 sports headline submissions. @davidjroth.bsky.social @robertsilverman.bsky.social

“It is this court’s opinion that apparently everyone has their own ideas about how this court should operate and is not shy about sharing their views—even when no one asks,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote theonion.com/supreme...

Drew just sent me this

A new sticker I made.

Instead of the abundance agenda they should just call themselves four freedoms democrats and do this shit again

You hear this a lot on the left but it isn't true. USAID did not "fail to tell its story to Americans," the right targeted the agency with lies and misinformation. Ultimately this narrative turns conservative attacks into even more calls for the left to reform. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/29/o...

This is the exact same reversal of blame as with Skrmetti. Trans rights activists didn’t decide to psych a case forwards to SCOTUS. Far-right politicians targets trans kids with bans and the “centrist” media pushed far-right lies and misinformation for years

There’s one obvious ironic solution to ICE’s potential hiring conundrum here

the thing I love about red states is they will send someone to DC who will go on live tv and say "The people I represent are fat lazy pieces of shit so we are making them get back to work" and then the people she is talking about cheer. They all think she is talking about everyone but them.

I know they want us numb to it but it’s still stunning that Republicans ramming through policies that are absolutely guaranteed to kill many, many people will be covered as a big win for them if they succeed.

getting jailed by the dallas county sheriff for trespassing after calling him down to the whataburger and loudly demanding he arrest the manager for not accepting my gold nuggets in exchange for a number three

@opinionhaver.bsky.social’s glonzo theory of american politics is a brilliant and audacious work of political science which explains a great deal about what’s gone wrong in this country

Wisdom of crowd: Excepting the "But her emails" plague of 2016, name a worse / more credulous / more revealing NYT headline than this one, two weeks ago. h/t @realbenisons.bsky.social

The "misinformation" in question here is that gender-affirming care reduces suicides among youth. It merely reduces depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicidal ideation. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I was just thinking how the crash out over Mamdani’s win is establishment types and institutions confronting the fact that he didn’t need them, and how those same types really neatly overlap with the one demanding we throw trans people under the bus

how about no

hi, cis folks! the GOP put the all-ages trans medicaid ban back in the budget, despite it being struck. they did it to force dems to challenge it on the floor. if you've been paying attention, you know dems need to hear you want them to actually stand up to the GOP. contact info at reps.fyi 🧵

A house divided against itself cannot stand. But it can stagger forward, drunkenly, punching itself, for a couple of centuries.

Murray: This bill polls like garbage because it is garbage. That's why it should go nowhere except a trash bin

How about we have party leaders focus on the words of a United States congressman - Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama - who’s calling Black people “inner city rats” who leach off of America’s taxpayers. Stop the focus on municipal elections and get to this. Where is the censure and condemnation?

There is no bottom to this barrel.

Opinion | The progressive left means well, but they come across as painfully out of touch with reality. Here are some prescriptions for them that I jotted down in the charter gondola on the way to the Bezos wedding.

Lo you, my lord, The net has fall’n upon me! I shall perish Under device and practice.

The purpose of asking Mamdani over and over to condemn “globalize the intifada” is to create the impression he actually said that, and he didn’t. But the smear campaign is working. Many people now think he did say that. It’s insidious, dishonest, and essentially racist.

people hate liz bruenig because she is a cruel reactionary

Man, y'all gotta read this whole piece about a rally in San Antonio yesterday. Texas Democrats — led by big names — are organizing and moving away from DC and the DNC. And they're getting wild, cheering crowds.

71 years ago today, the Chuck Jones/Bugs Bunny masterpiece, Long-Haired Hare, premiered. Leopold! Leopold! 😂
