Blessing your timeline: Obama getting a huge ovation at Clippers game. This how you welcome a president:
Come clean about WHAT
Lâetat, câest moi.
1.2 million Americans died from Covid-19. Most of them would have lived had they followed simple public safety steps, like wearing masks and securing vaccinations after they were available. www.newsweek.com/covid-death-...

Oh believe me I know. Iâve been trying to get through to the âyouâll love the tax breaksâ crowd.
Yeah well he didnât build that career in finance by accident.
Thereâs a persistent myth that new solar farms donât really help tackle climate change because panels are âmade with coalâ and ânever pay backâ their carbon debt. This is simply false. - UN: solar ~8x cleaner than gas, ~19x than coal per kWh - panels repay CO2 in 4 months; save 57x over life
And who is bringing the fireworks?
The British watched their empire deteriorate and fade into insignificance and frankly, they didnât look all that uncomfortable. Weâll be fine.
What a coincidence! I am one of the worldâs foremost experts on nuclear physics.
Yes but do we have to live through it?

1300 at an ER so the vet could show me an xray of my cat, full of farts.
A car-nerd friend is working on a short visual aid on how to identify unmarked ICE vehicles. She's hoping to find some volunteers who can translate it into other languages... Especially: -Kiche -Mandarin -Vietnamese -Yoruba -Igbo -Arabic -Hindi She has Spanish covered already.

Letâs not be ageist. God willing, we will be old one day ourselves. I think itâs more likely that these skills just worked in a world that had rules. And that world has passed him by.
Are they really the best then? Or they just vain and cowardlyâŠ
The party that wins is the one who gets to move the Overton window. We need to build support on the ground to win elections.
In 25 years, every business school in the country will be doing case studies about how a long defunct company known as âGoogleâ once had an unbeatable lock on online information retrieval and then started doing shit like this.
Back when we had rickets?
âDo betterâ didnât either.
'A NSFW ban won't negatively affect me, I don't draw or post porn!' You sure? Here's how it went down when tumblr did it:
A whole lot of journalists and Democratic politicians believed it was bad to object to sending people to CECOT, because that would strengthen Trump by reminding Americans how much they want an immigration crackdown, and they kept saying so even after the polls showed it was wrong. Why?
Might as well pull cutlery out of his pocket at a pizza place.
I made a promise to the women of Illinois â as governor, I will ensure your medical decisions will be your own. Now, we continue fulfilling that promise. Public colleges will now provide contraception and medication abortion at on-campus pharmacies and student health centers.

All to protect Andreessenâs investment.
According to Haaretz it was 2 5 million, over 1/4 of the population!
HARD SAME.
The first people sent to Dachau, before they targeted the Jewish population, were political opponents. Thousands of them.
This is what he truly believes. It's Ukraine's fault for refusing to immediately surrender. Think of it this way: He sees Russia as the man and Ukraine as the woman.
We warned them. Once you start arguing against free speech, the right wing gets ready to use it against us. They are better at this than we are. This is why all speech has to be protected. The slippery slope is not a fallacy in this case.

Link? Iâm desperate for more context.
Well this is alarming.
you've gotta be fucking kidding me
Is he not aware of the tens of thousands of vacant rent controlled apartments that landlords are just sitting on? Because thatâs a problem he could offer to fix, you know, if he was into that sort of thing.
Good lord thatâs cringey
Both of those items are expensive unless you grow them.
Itâs going to be way cheaper than that because itâs going to be all lies to rig the elections.
HOW
Trump now asserts the right to veto all corporate CEO appointments in the US, today demanding the immediate ouster of the CEO of Intel, apparently because his ethnicity is offensive.

Lemme just say if President Bernie Sanders had unilaterally imposed, by executive fiat, hundreds of billions of new taxes, personally browbeat executives about job cuts and investments and then fired the head of BLS, the Chamber of Commerce and the business orgs would not be sitting idly by.
Commentary: Something unusual is happening in U.S. immigration courts. Government lawyers are refusing to give their names during public hearings. This secrecy violates a fundamental principle that has protected Americans for centuries: open courts ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/07/25/i...
âAfter years watching Hungary suffocate under the weight of its democratic collapse, I came to understand that the real danger of a strongman isnât his tactics; itâs how others, especially those with power, justify their acquiescence.â (gift article) www.nytimes.com/2025/07/23/o...
Well. So. Whoâs gonna tell theâŠsorry, just checking my notesâŠdirector of he OMB, that fiscal management isnât the Fedâs job itâsâŠchecking againâŠhis. The gaslighting will continue until forever, I guess
So, as I suspected, the police response to the shootings of Democratic elected officials in Minnesota was actually a complete disaster www.startribune.com/new-details-...
Yeah to lead means you do not follow. Stop chasing polls, stand up for whatâs right, and the people will come to you.
NEW bombshell allegations from the Texas Legislature today. The author of Texasâ abortion âtrigger banâ has been accused by a former exotic dancer of paying for abortions. He has denied the claims and threatened to sue the outlet that ran them. More: thebarbedwire.com/2025/07/25/t...
A model MAGA Republican.
We said release the files not the accomplices, idiot.
âOn the whole, voters disapprove of the presidentâs handling of the economy, inflation, tariffs and foreign policy. And yet in each case, the new WSJ poll found, voters nonetheless say they trust Republicans rather than Democrats to handle those same issues in Congress.â www.wsj.com/politics/ele...
POLITICO compiled a list of all the Washington Post staffers who have left in the past eight months. Itâs at least a hundred names, many of them among the biggest names in journalism. This is the fastest erosion of a major outlet ever.
Yeah, a no-win situation. Biden was doing the best he could. It was clear he would lose either way with a strong position for either camp.
No I mean I knew a lot of democrats who felt alienated and afraid of liberals when they saw them attack Israel. I saw a lot of people suddenly say they felt like they needed to vote for Trump. If the numbers on the progressive side donât cancel out those voters Biden loses the election either way.
âOh no, not Bill Clintonâ I say as I ready the trebuchet I specifically built to launch Bill Clinton into an active volcano.
Cool this guy just tried to make it illegal to have a mental health episode.
Maybe but then I got the right meds and it turned off like a switch. Apparently that now makes me an enemy if the state. What a fun time to be alive.
Were there enough people who wanted that available to vote to make up the difference?
Please remember that they also want to ban SSRIs. This is a police & prison state trying to manufacture more imprisoned labor.
Does this also mean they can just kidnap anyone with a mental health diagnosis?
Full Nazi.
NJ?
Wait is this anyone with a mental health diagnosis at all?
Oh 100%. I just think heâd be doing this even if those people didnât exist.
Personally, I think itâs that Trump has a drunk-uncle level of understanding of how the economy works and he just thinks low interest rates are always good. He thinks this is just yet another person preventing him from getting what he wants.
Because they are completely confident there will never be any consequences.
Sheâs confused. And so am I. This is nuts! My wife just said this is straight out of The Handmaidâs Tale. Anyone know more about this?
BBC NEWS / AFP / BBC NEWS / REUTERS JOINT STATEMENT: âWe are desperately concerned for our journalists in Gaza, who are increasingly unable to feed themselves and their families. "They are now facing the same dire circumstances as those they are covering. "
19. Gonna get political for just a second to tell you no amount of philanthropy will make up for SNAP cuts. I work at a food pantry. Weâre fucked.
Weâre going full Nazi. Itâs very distracting.
Are bialys a joke to you?
............Payment processors shouldn't be the morality police.

The inflation was already being brought under control by that point, the rage and humiliation was still there. Sound familiar?
I was in Germany in September and I had a casual conversation with a 90 year old man in a hotel. He was bitter about the hypocrisy of âour friends the Americans bombing us in WWIIâ. Not even a hint of concern for the 17 million people they killed. It was chilling.
We have been warned about this moment for all our lives. Now it's here. What will you do about it?
Can we sue all the major papers for journalistic malpractice? A decade of this nightmare and NOW THEY FIND THIS?
Not just free, but showing up everywhere in your house like U2 tracks.
Thanks for the clarification!
Whatâs the distinction?
Tuberville on ICE and Border Patrol: "If they're shot at, they need to shoot back. We need to take advantage of what's going on right now and make sure we take our streets back. That's the voters for the Democratic Party, these people that are breaking all these laws all over the country."
That is also true, some time in the last 10-15 years we went from a consensus that the Holocaust was bad, and Nazis were bad to: âIt was so long ago.â âIt has nothing to do with me.â âAmerica is a hypocritical nation.â And⊠âHitler had some good points, fascism is sexy and exciting.â
Itâs really simple. German-American here. Our TV, our history books, they all show us the end of the war when the Nazis are obvious and weâre heroically winning the war. We are never shown the beginning when the republic falls and everything is really confusing.
When I was a kid my relatives would send Pelikan and Faber Castell from Germany as gifts. Thanks for the memory!
Itâs the former. This is their endgame scenario.
via @keithedwards.bsky.social In a deeply unsettling unearthed 2006 audio recording, Donald Trump says he has no âage limitâ for sleeping with young girls. He claims heâd stop at â12 year olds.â
Yeah, I love Florida, the land not the people. I may never see it again.
The perfect gig alert: The Guardian is hiring a reporter to cover not just media but media and power. Should I apply? đ Media and Power Reporter workforus.theguardian.com/jobs/796
True but Iâm also enjoying it. Every day my grandparents experience in 1930s Germany comes a little more into focus. The fall of democracy and rise of fascism needs to be explained better in schools. You know, how confusing it is to live through it.
This from the man who wants to ban trans women from participating in women's sports on the grounds that women need to be protected in locker rooms.
How could we possibly lose the secrets of Roman concrete or the Antikythera device in the span of a generation? Well, itâs our turn to find the fuck out, because all the rich assholes with eight brain cells have a fun new hobby called âpulling on tapestry threads just to feel something!â
Agree.
We have a @lopatto.bsky.social piece on the hacker who breached Columbia and acquired Zohran Mamdani's college application. It's not great for NYT to be using hacked materials originating from an anime Nazi but this part especially stuck out to me. www.theverge.com/cyber-securi...
