This cruelty has no need but cruelty. Haiti remains deeply dangerous; a country in the throes of anarchy. Hundreds of thousands of people are SAFE. They are safe. They are safe here and the nation has decided to make them unsafe. We are embarking on a tragedy and we cannot look away. We cannot.

So many immigrants I've interviewed break down about this. "Monsanto Maler was one of several Haitian immigrants who traveled from Springfield for a check in...after an ankle monitor was attached to him, Maler was seen collapsing to the ground and crying." www.springfieldnewssun.com/local/hundre...

I mean let's be frank if you're capable of writing a line like "You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you" you also are probably a lot

the argument against Mamdani attending the 9/11 anniversary, as far as I can tell, is literally just that he’s Muslim, and reposting it is just reporting rank racism

Sophie Cunningham's -28 in today's game is the worst single-game +/- in a win in WNBA history. #WNBA

Every hour that passes, Donald Trump makes $266,000 off the presidency. We can get the money back. @raders.bsky.social on one big idea to combat the corruption: https://www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/266000-every-single-hour

It sometimes feels like we're living in a ridiculously exaggerated folk tale with wildly implausible villains. For example, as the president takes billions for himself and his family and *coats his things in gold,* the soldiers fighting his war can't get toothpaste, hot water, or a clean toilet.

Moldy showers and no soap: Military families are outraged by conditions on USS Lincoln

The aircraft carrier's long deployment in the Iran war is raising concerns that the sailors and Marines on board are facing poor conditions, low supplies and fatigue.

The moment Collins announced she was a no on Blanche, you KNEW they had the votes.

if anything it's the reverse. they're mostly mad at him and the challenge for Ds is making sure all the other GOPs are as tightly fastened to him as possible.

Trump says voters are mad at other Republicans, not him, as midterms approach

Sterolab, that’s a ballknower’s band

Confirming Hegseth really was insanely reckless.

some USMNT players have suggested the Balogun red card reversal negatively impacted the team, but this is the first I've seen of a player saying it was actually the wrong decision

USMNT star Malik Tillman says Balogun red card ban should have stood

U.S. men's national team midfielder Malik Tillman believes Folarin Balogun's red card suspension in the World Cup should not have been overturned.

In Bari Weiss' Free Press, Olivia Reingold reported from El-Sayed's watch party that "there were keffiyehs as far as the eye could see ... keffiyehs on heads, keffiyehs as belts, keffiyeh-printed phone cases." Not a single one made it into images from Reuters, a local ABC station, or Detroit News.

ridiculous to watch us regress backwards from what the 20 year olds in my general vicinity were capable of in 2015, aka that men should be encouraged to develop emotional intelligence and should decenter themselves in favor of joining community. and now we're here bc of transphobia/misogyny. corny

Third Way, a professedly "center left" group, is spending tens of millions of dollars to convince voters to vote for Republicans in November

Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 5d ago

This is a glorified single-source interview with the head of Third Way. It quotes far more moderates saying they support the progressive candidates in the general election. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/06/u...

1. A new Popular Information investigation reveals that Senate Republicans have recently launched at least six fake news sites in key states.

Ironically, the way mainstream papers lower the bar to give space to middling hacks in the name of ideological diversity is the closest real-world phenomeon to how MAGA imagines DEI works. Does anyone think we’d know the name Mark Thiessen if he were on the center-left competing for that slot?

Thor Benson@thorbenson.bsky.social · 6d ago

Trump shared this Marc Thiessen article yesterday lol

It's hard to read this and not think that this is Meta not wanting to be left out of the super-dangerous / super-powerful AI club.

JD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "

This is how it's done. Fight it out in the primary, and then link arms to defeat the common enemy in the general. Great demonstration of post-primary leadership from @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social.

Absolutely fucking disgusting. The GOP is the party of wife beaters, rapists, and Epstein cronies.

Mike Johnson tells Politico that he's standing behind Republican Max Miller — despite the "serious" domestic abuse allegations against him.

Aaron Rodgers spoke out about Dr. Anthony Fauci. Sophie Cunningham spoke out about transgender athletes. Caitlin Clark chose not to weigh in. Three different approaches, one common result: criticism. Steve Buckley on how athletes can't win on social media: nyti.ms/3Sa9A7D

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.

We are deciding whether we want to be a country of ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.
