July was the deadliest month for civilians in Ukraine in at least 2.5 years. russia killed at least 634 civilians and wounded another 4,590. 634 lives. In one month. Why does the world still refuse to call this terrorism? What are you waiting for?

For some California context, this is half of the California State University system's projected allocation for "essential priorities" for the 26/27 fiscal year. Essential priorities are things like salary, facilities, maintenance.

With everyone obsessing over a handful of DSA candidates, the broader trend that might be getting missed across the country is that lots of Dem primary voters seem to have decided it is time for a new generation of younger nominees in lots of places.
“Socialism is a scareword they have hurled at every advance the people have made… socialism is their name for most anything that helps the people. 1952. Truman. This is how stale their desperate fearmongering is. cc: @MarshaBlackburn
Dr. El-Sayed puts it plainly: “ICE has nothing to do with immigration.” I agree completely.
He pays more to fight a wealth tax than he pays in taxes. He pays more to fight a wealth tax than any of us would earn in 10 lifetimes.

How long is the entire humanity going to wait and fail to take any action to stop the genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza? Netanyahu is killing current and future generations to get them out of their native land.

For Raul Martinez Jr., it has never been about creating a viral moment or attracting influencers. He’s just a man who learned his way around a smoker to provide a different life for his family. The full story: lataco.com/watts-bbq-sm... By Karina Soriano
If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.
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.
Yael Schacher@yaelschacher.bsky.social · 3d agoSo many immigrants I've interviewed break down about this.

I remember watching this when it aired live in September, 1976, the Muppet Show's first season. I didn't know who Rita Moreno was, only that she was amazing. She won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program. Happy Sunday Funday! 🥵
Private equity is price gouging firefighters now. Yes, you read that right. Firefighters. Is this the most evil thing they've done yet?

Look at Trump grappling with his war of choice with Iran. Cannot accept he has lost, so he doubles down and amplifies the extent of the loss. But in fact, Putin still thinks he will win simply because he has more patience, and the West will lose focus as usual. He is not completely irrational here.
Gutwrenching, and yet again underscores the carelessness and selfishness of those who started a war with no thought of global impact, no achievable goals, no way to win, and now, no way to exit. Damage, already done. Thanks @msnowreports.bsky.social for telling this story about military families.

She deserves to be remembered. Before the war, Daria "Blyskavka" Filipieva was a successful translator. But she felt her life had to mean more. She underwent eye surgery so she could qualify for military service, became a combat medic, and went on to save hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers.
