Democratic special election win makes life even harder for Republicans on Capitol Hill Adelita Grijalva’s victory in Arizona doesn’t just narrow the GOP’s majority in the House, it also makes disclosure of the Epstein files more likely.

Democrats win ANOTHER special election, this time in Arizona. Congratulations to Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva on your win. Lets keep narrowing that majority that keeps johnson speaker.

I'm appalled but unfortunately unsurprised to hear that ICE is targeting my neighbors in Rogers Park today. Unidentifiable and unaccountable agents are roaming the streets with their faces covered targeting schools and community centers. It needs to end. Abolish ICE.

Pardon my typos, I should go sharpen some pencils

Yes, and coming back from it from those surgically-sharp pencils just made you feel somehow taller and handsomer, as well as smarter (even they really just made you a bit smarter and ok a little better looking)

When we say to just incorporate your mistakes into the music, we don’t mean when you play a wrong note. You should never play wrong notes. We mean momentary lapses of judgement, ill-considered life decisions, impulsive acts of selfishness and fundamental misunderstandings about how the world works.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

“.. I can’t remember anyone ever telling me we can’t say anything critical about a civilian like this. He was not in our chain of command or anything,” the officer said.

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

Everytime someone starts a sentence with "I usually dont do politics but..." My hand is hovering over the STFU button because ughh

I have every bit as much compassion for Charlie Kirk being shot by some random person as he would have if it had been me.

Nice! "Flood the zone.... with FLOOD ZONE"

The moment he named his platform “Truth Social” we were headed this way.

Yeah JD, we remember. We will never forget your boss was best friends with the guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring.

And then that guy was "silenced" forever.

And now we will just not talk about anything else until they...

This was an attack on a federal institution. An attack BECAUSE it is Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

This was domestic terrorism.

Why isn’t it getting more press coverage? Some coverage, not enough.

Domestic. Terrorism.

just when i thought i was out etc.

Why so many adjectives in art writing? Adjectives are so.... dammit they got me again

🧵 thread about the mental laziness that comes with massive privilege

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

NASA is more than rockets and moonwalks. NASA is behind much of our everyday technology. From space discovery, to Air Jordans, to CAT scans, NASA has played a role. We get it all on less than a penny of every federal dollar. Now their science may be gutted by 50%.

"79% of U.S. adults say immigration is a good thing for the country."

“Superman is too woke!”

Literally the first page of the first ever appearance of Superman:

Never make or accept any excuses of course, and that's never my intent. But I think it's part of how they maximize the violent potential from people like that, and try to prevent them from having attacks of pesky conscience. Keeping them irrationally afraid of the people they are harming.

Yikes, I hadn't heard that part. Exposing people to cruelty that is not being done directly to them can sometimes can them more ready to enact cruelty and violence themselves, but it still eats away at their minds.

Away reply from a labor contact in Sweden. They don't mess around with their time off. I really respect this: "I am on holiday until 10 August 2025, during my holiday all emails will be deleted."

"'We are the federal government, and if we choose to take power away from a governor or away from a mayor, this is the new normal.' And my response is, I've seen this movie before. It used to be called a coup, and it happens in other countries."

@mayor.lacity.gov‬ on the feds in LA:

I don’t sympathize with them, but keeping them stressed is part of the plan to encourage them to be erratic, cruel, and short-fused.

The fascists are building the narratives needed for complete control and a deeply violent police state.

We simply cannot allow the world's most powerful antisemites to continue pretending they care about the safety or freedom of American Jews. They don't give a fuck about us, and no one should act like they do.
