NEWSMAX: Your daughter fractured her collarbone and there was a handprint on her upper chest, and it left a bruise. How did that happen? MAX MILLER: What I can tell you is I didn't do that. 9 of the 11 previous days was my ex-wife's care. What's so troubling about child protective services is ...

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Oh buzz off.

Excellent piece about why so many men see generative AI as female, and Richard Dawkins is gaga over "Claudia."

Army ends anonymous reporting for harassment complaints

Soldiers can no longer make anonymous reports of discrimination, and commanders can more easily dismiss complaints they disagree with.

This apparently happened underneath (and maybe because of of) a sign she had hung on her house that said: "National Guard Stop Being So Embarrassing."

"Get away from me right now," King, a retired U.S. Army captain who served in Iraq and earned both a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star, can be heard telling the three male guard members in the video as they approach her on the bench. "You have absolutely no authority to detain me."

Oh my God, Lit Lit, Beacon NY's open mic for writers, is happening THIS FRIDAY at 7 PM. Because it may be a little hot, we're having water-pistol fights and an All-Gender, All-Adult-Age Wet T-Shirt Contest as well as tons of amazing poems, stories, essays, memoir, and satire.

Depicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.

We can't fucking talk about this enough. Trump is making it impossible to be a therapist, humanities scholar, classical musician, artist, actor, barber, filmmaker...

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

HUGE: Under Mayor Mamdani, New York City just recorded its safest first 7 months of a year in history—and its safest July ever. In July: Major crime dropped 13% Murder dropped 32% Robberies dropped 15% Vehicle thefts dropped 25% Democratic mayors are putting public safety first.

Under a new rule, if your degree doesn’t make enough money, you won’t be able to get a student loan.

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

It occurs to me we haven't discussed the gender implications of the "300 foot slit" Trump said someone put in the Reflecting Pool

To be semi-serious, Warren truly does want a more progressive Senate which is great but she’s also playing a long game. She’s collecting the votes to oust Schumer in January

When I was small, my father held a knife to my mom’s throat as I screamed and scratched at his legs. Later she made dinner, because refusing to do so would have been worse. That was a few days before we left in the night, her bleeding, me silent. It was the worst night of my life. And the best.

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

I am willing to believe El-Sayed has a slight GE penalty at this exact moment in time given the tone of the coverage he’s been facing, but my strong prior is that the Dems will win this seat regardless of whether he or Stevens is the nominee

Things I and friends have done to calm an angry abusive man from further escalating and killing us or our children: -Smiled -Kept normal schedules in order not to trigger a fight -Appeased with kind acts (cooking, cleaning, favors) -Forced friendly tones and words

I made dinner for my abuser a bunch of times. You have to play nice while you're planning your escape so you don't get dead. Max Miller is a textbook abuser.

This is exactly the logic of fascism.

I can’t afford gas or groceries and Trump won’t allow disaster relief to my state because our governor is a Democrat. But at least the federal government is banning workplace heat protections.

This is it boys, the platonic "New York can never get better" piece www.archpaper.com/2026/07/litt...

Remember when David Hogg was running for DNC chair and the establishment stepped in and said we needed a responsible adult and then gave us Ken Martin, who throws his phone at his staffers? Also the DNC is $2 million in debt. But centrists still demand they should be in charge.

We need to say this in the U.S. too: Immigration is a fundamental freedom and GOOD IN ITSELF.

Nate O@nateo.bsky.social · 4d ago

I wish there was a single politician willing to say we need more immigrants here in the UK, immigration is a fundamental freedom and good in-itself, and we should accept all migrants as new neighbours and fellow children of god, as the nominal official religion of this country supposedly preaches

I took a look at the link between gas prices (high) and approval of Trump’s handling of prices (very bad) over the last 6 months. The data suggests evaluations of POTUS are sticky and negative, wouldn’t return to normal even if gas prices go back below $3 www.gelliottmorris.com/p/cheap-gas-...

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.

A major issue with the establishment's efforts fending off individual progressives like El-Sayed, Hong, Chevalier, Kiros, Gonzales, Flanagan, etc, is that we're well past the point where it's clear that young voters just Do This now, and who do you think is going to make up the electorate later?

We don't actually have to minimize the negative impacts that early COVID isolation had on people to justify efforts to limit the spread of the virus. Sometimes, necessary actions have unfortunate impacts in addition to positive ones.
