Just over here doing the best that I can, with the tools that I have…
To every veteran watching their grocery bill climb while the White House cuts benefits to fund a war that nobody wants: this November isn't optional. Democrats will lower your healthcare costs and protect your Social Security. Republicans will grift for the billionaire donor class. #BlueWaveIn90Days
More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.
"Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God's children." —Martin Luther King, Jr.
Even with the benefit of hindsight Anthony Fauci performed as well as anyone could have hoped given the circumstances (unprecedented global pandemic, over a million Americans dead, etc) The main remains a hero Imperfect, but a hero nonetheless fin/

Texas Public Opinion Research poll: U.S. Senate James Talarico 45% Ken Paxton 40% It marks Talarico's "largest lead in any public poll taken during the general election period."
Talarico leads Paxton by 5 points in new Texas Senate poll

i understand the impulse to react to a terrible story by saying that you’re not surprised, but i hope i’ll always be surprised by terrible stories.
Trump called Lebron “racist” for not liking him 🤔— FLASHBACK: Lebron called him out for being divisive and a bad influence on kids 🎯👇🏽 (and called him a “bum” for childishly rescinding Steph Curry’s invite to the White House after Steph had already said he wasn’t going)
65,765 people were held in ICE detention as of July 11, from the first data ICE has released since April. My analysis puts arrests at a record 1,474 a day, and most people detained have no criminal history at all.
A letter from the mother of Alex Pretti, six months after he was murdered by ICE.
Independent: GOP Rep. Carlos Giménez, who sits on the House’s Armed Services Committee dismissed the deaths of U.S. military in the Iran war as “the nature of warfare.” 18 dead & 447 wounded, for what? I'm furious 6 Democrats voted to continue to fund this clusterfuck! #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed
INBOX: the last dedicated science reporter at The Wall Street Journal, @aylinwoodward.bsky.social, has left the newsroom. This came after the Murdoch-owned newspaper dissolved its Health and Science Bureau last October. NPR, CBS, and WaPo also gutted their climate desks in the last eight months.
I like this idea. What a succinct way to say this, thank you for sharing

Antifascism looks like Pedro Pascal. It looks like Alex Pretti and AOC. It looks like 600 priests, imams, and rabbis in the cold streets of winter Minneapolis. Antifascism is gorgeous.

Not one looks normal. They're all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism." #cdnpoli
Trump's #ICE thugs killed 3 people legally here & a GEO GROUP guard shot a protester in a single week. The terror is escalating—will we be next? Demand justice for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, & Juan Coronilla Duran & remember their names. SPEAK OUT AGAINST #ICELawlessness!
