Hi, Bluesky!

Over one million people cut Disney+, which is why Disney did the right thing and brought Jimmy Kimmel back without conditions.

So I ask you, which mega company are we boycotting next and why?

One thing we've learned in the last 12 hours: The Sinclair-Nexstar ban on Kimmel, in terms of his reach, means nothing in an era when late-night shows have an afterlife or simultaneous life on streaming. Kimmel's average audience is 1.6M. On YouTube, last night's monologue is already at 8.4M views.

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

RFK lied to my face. He said he hadn’t fired any scientists.

RFK has fired over 3,000 scientists from HHS. It’s shameful. He must resign.

Warnock to RFK jr: "For the first time, we are seeing deaths of children from measles. We haven't seen that in two decades. We're seeing that under your watch. You are a hazard to the health of the American people."

Only someone who avoided the draft would want to rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War.

This warms my little #solarpunk heart because seaweed is also great at sequestering carbon!

Ossoff: He never should have been confirmed by the senate and he needs to resign. It is one thing to be a skeptic or a reformer. It is quite another to be a fool…

CNN put together a clip of RKF Jr denying today he linked antidepressants and mass shootings, followed by a clip of RFK Jr last week linking antidepressants and mass shootings

Four years ago, I tested for COVID. I'd had dinner with someone with cancer the night before. Thanks to the vaccine, I did not give that dinner companion COVID. And I only ran a low-grade fever for a few days. Fuck that idiot RFK Jr. and the equally stupid buffoon who hired him.

Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor.

Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.

WATCH — Sen. @ossoff.senate.gov : "It's been extraordinary to see the Speaker of the House reduced to lying in order to cover up sex crimes.”

He adds that RFK JR. must resign.

Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:

🚨 Arizona Free Enterprise Club v. Fontes Appealed Learn more.

🚨BREAKING: Arizona Court of Appeals REJECTS right wing challenge to Arizona's signature matching process. Another VICTORY for my law firm's clients and the voters of Arizona. www.democracydocket.com/cases/arizon...

It’s gotten to the point that I don’t even like sending my kids to school anymore.

We don’t have to live like this.

It’s another gorgeous morning here in the upper Midwest and also Jay Bhattacharya is still a very very very terrible NIH Director!

And every local, state and federal public health worker resisting and persevering through a mass shooting at our national centers for disease control and prevention!

What Gives Me Hope Read more here.

When people ask me what gives me hope, my answer is simple: you do. Every person who refuses to look away. Every lawyer who files a brief. Every protester who shows up. Every voter who refuses to surrender their rights. You give me hope—not because victory is certain but precisely because it is not.

Hey, as a librarian I have to tell you

You don't have to finish a book that doesn't interest you. Life's too short for that. Not your jam? You have my permission to move on to the next book.

‘South Park’ clip: Kristi Noem ICE recruits video

If you’re wondering how ICE recruitment and training is going under Kristi Noem—South Park already nailed it.

ICE is hiring! US immigration and Customs Enforcement is looking for highly motivated, morally indifferent individuals to join our team. Open positions include: Senior Goon Racism Enforcement Office Unmarked Van Driver (Part-Time) Experience with children a plus usajobs.gov

From this month's edition of The Onion.

Noticing a pattern here.

"The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself."

Israeli human rights groups hold a press conference to issue a report saying Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza, in East Jerusalem, July 28, 2025. REUTERS/Ammar Awad

Two major Israeli human rights organizations, B’Tselem & Physicians for Human Rights, officially declared Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, citing bombs targeting civilians, displacement, and deliberate starvation. The first time the Gaza genocide is called out from within Israeli society. #3E🧵

Defending Israel for its war crimes in Gaza is the same as defending Russia for its war crimes in Ukraine. Infact, many of the same people are defending both.

For those keeping track, we’ve now gone from:

The Epstein Files are on my desk > The Epstein Files don’t exist > Someone might have planted my name in the Epstein Files.

Gonna be wild watching MAGA defend him for pardoning Maxwell.
