The defining feature of modern politics is that everyone gets to live in a totally fictionalized universe that justifies all their beliefs, bigotries, and resentments 100% of the time.

Today let’s remember what fireworks actually represent: the glorious ingenuity of the people of China, who have been killin’ it for thousands of years. Way to go guys. 🇨🇳

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is.

In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol.

And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

Baltimore is seeing the city’s fewest homicides in 50 years. Here’s why. Multiple people have taken credit for the historic drop that mirrors a national decrease in violent crimes. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott says it’s due to a community-based approach to gun violence.

We love a man with a plan

"As of July 1, 68 people in Baltimore had died by homicide this year, the fewest during the first six months of the year in more than five decades. It marks a nearly 23 percent decrease compared to the first half of 2024."

Two unrelated thoughts:

Florida has concentration camps.

The "firebomb a Walmart" crowd could finally nut up and commit mass property damage any time they wanted to.

Live in San Francisco right now.

Straight out of Project 2025:

ICE is now the single largest federal law enforcement agency in the history of the nation, with enough funding to hire more law enforcement agents than the FBI and more detention potentially than the entire Bureau.

Happy 4th of July, Batman.

Keep in mind that the cuts to Medicaid don’t go into effect until late 2026 conveniently after the midterm elections. Do not be fooled. Vote these ghouls out. Show up and VOTE in the midterms.

The GOP passed a budget that will eviscerate health care in rural areas. They delayed much of the impact for after the midterms, hoping the public will think any discussion of the impending collapse is hyperbolic.

Local reporters have a chance to do service journalism that'll make a splash too.

"i love world war iii i just wish you'd signed this piece of paper before you did it" sums up the democratic party about as well as anything could

“You don’t get to talk about what’s illegal if you voted for a felon” is one of the greatest lines I’ve ever heard.

Maddow: I also feel like there’s not very much about that that I don’t understand. Like, it’s the same everywhere. This is blond Berlusconi, you know what I mean? This is inarticulate Viktor Orbán, right? These guys are all the same. The authoritarian playbook is the same everywhere

I’ll say this and then I’m gonna step back b/c 2026 IS THE ONLY NATIONAL ELECTION THAT’S IMPORTANT NOW.
No Dem presidential candidate wins w/o high Black turnout & vote.
So stop making it like Black voters are expendable or that you can serve up any candidate chosen by Pelosi, Clooney or MSM & win.

Did you know?

The richest 10 % of people emit as much CO₂ as the bottom 90 % combined.

Big shoutout to Chicago! ✊ 👏

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.

Looks like we’re doing this, y’all.
Get your signs, get your friends, we got your back - when our people get abducted - WE FIGHT BACK ‼️
