This article is NOT about what you think it is about. It about Internet speeds.

Trump Kept Gold Club World Cup Trophy for Himself So FIFA Had to Give the Winners a Replica

In a timeline defined by absurd headlines, this one might actually take the cake.

The R word is not a funny, edgy word to throw at people who annoy you on the Internet. It is a medical diagnosis created during the eugenics era that people with intellectual disabilities and families have literally spent years trying to stamp out from polite conversation and public life.

Yesterday, I learned that Robert E. Lee saw slavery as a morally and politically evil, but went to war to defend it.

Is that where ICE agents fall today? How they want to be remembered in history? As traitors?

Miss Rachel continues to have more of a moral backbone than 99% of public figures

You know what works better than thoughts and prayers? A functioning government.

The image features a vibrant bouquet of various flowers, including red, purple, blue, yellow, and orange blooms, with green leaves and stems. The flowers are densely packed, creating a colorful and lively arrangement against a black background. Overlapping the floral design is bold white text that reads: "I WISH FOR YOU WHAT YOU WISH FOR IMMIGRANTS" The text is prominent and stands out clearly against the colorful backdrop. At the bottom, the word "TRANSPAINTER" appears, likely indicating the artist or creator of the image.

Absolutely insane that every vote is a squeaker, and literally no one wants this bill but they don’t wanna get primary. This bill is insane trash and will make everyone’s life worse except mine. And I don’t want the tax break. I want to pay for kids meals and Headstart with my taxes.

Laura Loomer‘s tweet: Alligator lives matter. The good news is, alligators are guaranteed at least 65 million meals if we get started now.

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

When they came for John Stankey, no one said anything

Duke appears to have lost NIH grants because they used the prefix "trans" in reference to disease transmission, transgenic genetic material, translational studies, or signal transduction www.dukechronicle.com/article/2025...

I’m so fucking tired of hearing about tax cuts man. Tax me at 50% if it means I get free healthcare, free public transportation with high speed rail, free universal pre k and school lunches, and free college tuition. I want to live in an actual society. Not hoard money like a selfish cunt.

The rise of people like Lander and Walz, whose ideologies don't exactly match mine but have the exact right combination of "love thy neighbor" and "fuck you, asshole" attitudes, is massive positive for people who care about left of center politics

Hey folks, the thing Palestinian analysts have been shouting for weeks is now confirmed by Haaretz - you’re now allowed to believe it. 👋

University of Virginia President Under Pressure From Trump’s D.O.J. to Resign

they want to force UVA’s president to resign because he thinks it would be bad if the university reverted to being a lily-white finishing school for the failsons of the old guard southern elite www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/u...

Clean water, medical care, and safety. These are non-negotiable human rights. Instead, we’re seeing a taxpayer-funded machine of neglect, profit, and cruelty. This is not broken it’s working exactly as designed by the Trump administration. Abolish ICE!

At freshman orientation with my son. Very impressed with University of Alabama.

If JD Vance brown noses any harder, he's going to get kidnapped by ICE Agents

We were very happy to give this scoop to @marisakabas.bsky.social's The Handbasket because it is important to support independent journalists who are doing the hard work at this time. Giving this story to Marisa also guarantees it will be in The Washington Post verbatim exactly 48 hours later.

What a pathetic loser - wagging the dog

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
