I’m not a constitutional lawyer, but this is nonsense
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdaySen. Rand Paul: "I've had the debate with this administration ... they told me this isn't a war. I said, why isn't it a war? They said, 'Well, a constitutional war has to have significant casualties' ... initiation or declaration of war is *before* the casualties."
the thing is though their military was totally destroyed for 1000 years

With J6ers getting jobs in the justice department, and presidential memorandum NSPM-7 targeting the “left-wing” and “anti-fascists” as terrorists, it's never been more important to support those tracking the far right.
dan koh was marty walsh's former cos when he was mayor & was responsible for marty's dumbest ideas, ie: boston indy car & the boston olympics.

I had my car broken into and laptop stolen in front of a police station in San Francisco and when I walked in to report the crime the officer on duty asked what I wanted him to do about it
Em, midly@lefttheprairie.bsky.social · 4d agoIt’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.
I'm not a huge fan of making chicken breasts at home but nyt cooking's lemon-garlic chicken breast recipe is superb. The secret is in the flattening & slicing technique which marinates the meat throughout. I also made a rice pilaf w/ herbs, but bqhatever. I miss having a working smoker.

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.
The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor
The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

Important: Pro-Trump media are losing viewers in droves. "The audience for pro-Trump content has fallen from its heights and, for some creators, has reached new lows," NYT reports today. "Views are dropping for many of Trump’s greatest allies." More evidence we've entered Late-Stage Trumpism:
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 6d agoIn Late-Stage Trumpism, everything is sinking into cheap, petty malice: *Bill Pulte boasting of nonexistent "deep state" firings *Trump denying aid to blue states *Raging over Reflecting Pool fiasco *Prosecutions of foes imploding *He took over 250th and nobody came newrepublic.com/article/2137...
So CBS and others invested in a pro trump audience that won’t arrive, alienating their actual audience, and trump propagandists are losing audience bc people are souring on Trump. Also helps explain the increased racist shrieking as they try to farm engagement www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/u...
How the Pro-Trump Media Ecosystem Is Splintering Ahead of the Midterms
Once united in support of President Trump, right-wing influencers are embroiled in feuds and losing viewers, creating a problem for Republicans in the midterm elections.

Trump 2 has shown that the bulk of federal, state, and local "law enforcement" don't perform any useful functions at all. If they did, it would not be so easy to re-task them to brainless gestapo work like rounding up whole neighborhoods and waiting outside public buildings.
Melissa Gira Grant@melissagiragrant.com · 6d agoI wrote about how immigration arrests are at all-time highs, even as ICE is trying to assume a lower public profile. How are they doing this? Look to your local police.

From now on, I want to be known as Skidmore Chip. I will not be taking any further questions at this time.
how can one be a traitor to "the west"? i don't remember anyone pledging allegiance to it ever. (or a pledge even existing.)
Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social · last wk.Elon Musk, owner of X, has called the editor of the Economist "a traitor to the West, plain and simple" after her recent interview with him. He now argues that "anyone who opposes remigration is a traitor" Musk has been socialising violence since Aug25: "fight or die, that's what it comes down to"
Key thing to understand about "remigration" is that it doesn't mean "send immigrants home." He's an immigrant, Peter Thiel is an immigrant, etc. It's not even a white nationalism project, it's a trans-Atlantic white continentalism project, nations themselves aren't important, only race matters.

Excuse me sir or madam, but you have Massachusetts plates. You are lying.
It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.
It would help a lot if a lot of journalists and pundits weren't using Twitter as their assignment editor, several years into its transition into Stormfront.

Team sports people: Does winning the 3rd place game 🥉 mean more than losing the final and getting 2nd place 🥈?
How bad do you have to be at your job commenting on the world cup for fox sports that you end up catching strays from the host of (check notes) Entertainment Tonight? 😂
