His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

Dersh fantasizing about the Budd Dwyer special

If you’re still in line, STAY IN LINE

If you are a Democratic senator watching these results and the lesson you take is "I should cave and help Republicans reopen the government for nothing more than a promise written on toilet paper" then you shouldn't be in the Senate anymore

If we had lost Virginia, there was a very real chance that we’d be losing abortion access in the state, which would be a disaster especially for us in DC, which couldn’t possibly absorb all those patients.

Watching with my abortion fund board member hat on, these results are a tremendous relief.

Promise me that yall aren't going to platform the eventual "repentent ICE agent" stories that will come out...

1) pic of Melissa and Mark Hortman 2) pic of Melissa Hortman and dog Gilbert

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

This isn’t by accident, either. Kirk routinely expresses his own racist views. He suggested Black pilots are unqualified. He blamed a Black fire chief in Austin, Texas, for flooding deaths that occurred a three-hour drive away from the city. He denounced the passage of the 1965 Civil Rights Act and tried to discredit the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as “awful” and “not a good person.” Last month, Kirk devoted a chunk of his podcast to honoring the influential evangelical pastor John MacArthur, who passed away on July 14 at the age of 86. Kirk called him “one of the most influential Protestant minds since the Reformation,” and a “legend” who “never bowed to the gods of this age” and “never apologized for Scripture.” Soaring language — but it’s a euphemism. One of MacArthur’s most famous old-fashioned beliefs was that slavery was godly.

Just going to leave this here in case anyone says we have to put aside our differences with Charlie Kirk

"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

ICE Agents Invade a Manhattan Little League Field Youman Wilder has coached local kids for twenty-one years—including four who have gone pro. When masked agents tried to interrogate his players, he told them, “You don’t have more rights than they do....

When ICE agents questioned a group of 11- to 14-year-olds who’d just finished batting practice, their coach, Youman Wilder, stepped in. “I’m willing to die to make sure these kids can get home,” he recounted afterward.

Genuinely filled with despair from the replies here, with folks justifying why we ultimately need to let people starve to death for our own comfort.

Just people giving up on a population whose genocide is being facilitated by our governments, because solutions are too hard and uncomfortable.

Yesterday, I saw Musk's biographer Walter Isaacson wheeled out for a TV interview under the chyron "Musk: Back to Business" and it really feels like the media is entirely happy to go along with a concerted PR effort to increase Musk's finances by downplaying what he did to your government.

Boy Draws 99 Animals for David Attenborough's 99th Birthday Max's mom Samantha shared a picture of her son and his artwork on social media, asking for anyone willing to listen to share it

The kids are going to be alright.

Spanning across eight A3 sheets of paper, the giant birthday card took Max Evans-Browning 4 days and a lot of research to find each and every animal Attenborough has ever expressed a fondness for.

Top Sexual Assault Hotline Drops Resources After Trump Orders

RAINN, the largest organization devoted to survivors of sexual abuse, has eliminated all resources for LGBTQ, immigrants, and other marginalized groups.

They're failing their core purpose.

There’s a lot more though.

- Ban on state regulation of AI for 10 years

- And this, which you can call tax cuts for the rich but do far wider damage:

One of the funniest things about deeply knowing a period of history is seeing its well-known protagonists for what they actually were rather. The Romans of the late Republic? Very Special Boys who benefited materially from centuries of imperial domination, not towering giants of competence.

Tufts student detained by ICE in viral video is released, thanks supporters Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk was released from ICE detention on Friday, offering brief words of thanks to supporters gathered outside the Louisiana facility.

Rümeysa Öztürk has been freed!!

He also manually blocked life saving food and aids drugs in Africa, already leading to people dying.

It should never go unmentioned that he and Luke Farritor murdered people on Elon Musk’s orders.

Newsom is a fascist collaborator. He knows Trump has weaponized federal funding to curtail speech they disapprove of. Bringing Hollywood under federal subsidy like this would put film production under Trump's control. Have a queer kiss or a trans character? Funding pulled.

Ah, but that's just it: the oligarchs don't want more innovation. They want the current wealth & power structure to be frozen in place for as long as possible, and they think that removing a building's structural support is the best way to preserve your spot on the top floor.

Times have been tough in this Ohio town since they closed the old bribe-taking factory. So when Donald Trump promised to demand payments from foreign governments via his worthless meme coin, they finally had something to cheer about. But now the woke mob wants to take all that away.

The thing about American capitalism is in the same store I saw 5 different brands of dog ice cream (ice cream for dogs) and a homeless man eating a loaf of bread quickly in the store before he gets caught

They literally did the Onion article. Agents posted up outside her hospital room.

there's something i can't quite articulate about how the nation's elite have led such pedestrian, stifled lives that they're captivated by boring, gutter racists and misogynists who know a few three syllable words, like, this is the *actual* decadence, not whatever shit douthat drones on about

OMG

"Citing members of the investigating team who handled her remains, they said the brain, eyeballs and part of the trachea, or windpipe, were missing, in what they said could have been an attempt by Russia to disguise the cause of death."
