There. Are. No. Trans. Women. In. The. WNBA. This whole conversation is a racist trap and long circuitous argument that always comes back to insulting cisgender Black women by calling them not women. In particular it attacks: Brittany Griner, Liz Cambage, and A'Ja Wilson.

A new @acluofiowa.bsky.social report found students with disabilities were referred or arrested by school resource officers at more than 2x the rate of other students, and Black students were arrested at 3.7x the rate of other students. Young people deserve an education, not criminalization.
Black Iowa students are arrested at nearly four times the rate of their peers, ACLU report finds
Researchers found Black students were referred to law enforcement twice as often and arrested 3.7 times as often as their peers.

The first rule of surveillance club is do not talk about surveillance club.
is this good:
“In recent months, ICE has deployed a round-the-clock digital dragnet to scour the public internet—from Facebook to Instagram to X—for speech that could endanger the agency’s mission.” Speech. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
How ICE Is Weaponizing Social Media Against its Critics
Agency says its surveillance program searches for threats to agents, but critics see free-speech infringements.

If ICE detained an immigrant with this history of violence and unlawfulness, it would be all over FOX News and DHS's social media accounts. Instead this is a current GOP member of congress who remains in good standing with his colleagues and party.

Trump: “The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship! Thank you very much to all of those who participated. I won with a 70, & am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practice, bc I’m focused on many other things. It’s called TALENT, and I have it”
It's pretty infuriating that Trump is denying disaster aid to Oregon for political reasons and I have barely heard anything about it, while Biden was falsely accused of doing the exact same thing to North Carolina and millions of people believed that
The President of the United States is selling six figure subscriptions to Truth Social that will give users advanced access to his posts so they can profit off insider knowledge. There are so many necessary reforms but aggressive anti-corruption is essential. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the United States did a terrible job with COVID due to Dr. Fauci. He might want to listen to man who picked him for Sec. of HHS. Pres. Trump has bragged for years that the U.S. did a great job with COVID and wasn't given enough credit for it. Receipts.
Brutal truth - US cybersecurity of essential services fucking sucks. There's water treatment centers etc all over Shodan, just search celluar phone network ranges. SCADA systems with WinVNC, you name it. Most of these providers have 2 IT people and no budget.
After cyberattacks on Minnesota water systems, CISA says critical infrastructure operators should disconnect internet-exposed PLCs and other OT assets "as soon as possible." www.cisa.gov/news-events/...
Good hell he's awful. Why do people watch this shit?
Ben Shapiro spends his entire show mocking the WNBA and its players. Including a montage his team put together of missed shots at the All-Star game which he laughs at. It's incredible how much transphobia can just let you be an open misogynist.
it’s legitimately fucking offensive to me as a taxpayer that this entire administration is run by people whose only goal in life is to be on television

Well, who among us blah blah blah. But at least the Trump regime isn't using AI to target weapons, right? Right? RIGHT?

For a brief moment, there was Congressional and governmental support to ensure that children didn't face deportation alone. Then the Trump administration moved to gut the programs, and tens of thousands of kids who have lawyers now may lose them, while hundreds of thousands more go without counsel.
"Nonprofits representing more than 24,000 unaccompanied migrant kids said they’re at risk of shuttering their programs once a federal government contract ends Friday... Immigration judges issued removal orders for more than 18,000 kids in June, a 73% increase from January"

This includes people who came here legally on a visa, applied for another form of status, and are just waiting for the US government to decide their case. People who haven’t done a single thing wrong.
NEW: The Trump administration has begun arresting foreign citizens with expired visas as they travel through airports, according to documents obtained by The Times and interviews with lawyers — a tactic that opens up a vast new pool of people for deportation. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/u...
God this makes my skin crawl. I genuinely can't understand how adult men can behave like this & retain any self-respect.
Hannity: "My President, Lindsey probably has a heavenly version of Mar-a-Lago. It may even be a little bigger. I wouldn't be surprised if he added one big beautiful ballroom and an arch somewhere on the property. Because he would want to obviously duplicate his dearest friend in life. You."
say what you will about AI, always-on voice recording and auto dictation has been a game changer for my workflows. Save post and close app. Yeah Footlong meatball sub on white. No veggies. Don't toast it. Ranch and barbecue sauce. Yeah, ranch and bargecue sauce. More. More. Little more please
This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.

Democrats lead on nearly issue including the economy, Trump is -46 on inflation
Fox has GCB 53/46 D+7 with RV 53% is the highest either party has hit in Fox generic ballot polling since 1996. In counties where Trump/Harris were within 10 pts in 2024, Dems lead 59-41%

There are two possibilities here. Taylor Farms paid a shit ton of money to get the FDA to say this. Or DOGE decimated the FDA so significantly that they managed to fuck up a basic sample test. Neither one is great!
The FDA now says that Taylor Farms finding is a false positive. What a mess.
god I’m glad this team got their asses handed to them what a bunch of dirty clowns

The perfect end to this game would be a game winner by Yamal.
Watching Messi *without the ball* is far more entertaining than it should be. He's like an apex predator conserving energy. He's a great white shark.
That was a pretty bizarre halftime show, but somehow my ADHD loved it.
