Folks from the Women's March have been arrested at the Capitol for protesting ICE. Shout out to the women who are putting their lives and livelihoods on the line to get their message out: ABOLISH ICE.

In Dec 2024, Mazraoui refused to use a Man Utd jacket with support to the LGBT cause because it was against his religion. Today, Man Utd has announced a partnership with a betting company & yes, he was seen wearing a shirt with the sponsor on it So just a raging homophobe hiding behind religion

Mazraoui recusou-se e jogadores do United não usaram casaco de apoio à causa LGBT

Hey, Congress? Think before you confirm.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social for Texas US Senate gets it - under his opponent Ken Paxton and Gov. Abbott, data centers are running amok in TX. Talarico has a sensible plan to regulate data centers. Texas, he is the right choice for your next senator, not the corrupt, 15 home owning Paxton.

To be loved is to be changed.

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

The Seattle library levy is on track to pass with 80% voting yes. The Seattle Times came out against it and was resoundingly ignored. Seattle voters want nice things and are willing to pay for them.

So far, voters overwhelmingly approve Seattle library levy

A property tax levy to fund the city's public library system over the next seven years is solidly ahead after the first release of vote totals Tuesday evening.

New Mexico Sues Blanche, DOJ For ‘Withholding’ Epstein Files

Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

The problem is, even if there is a process, it relies on people being transparent and the senate enforcing the rules. And that is clearly not going to happen in this regime.

Everyone’s expectations got skewed over the past week but Abdul El-Sayed getting $70 million spent against him in a state he lost a primary by like 20 points eight years ago and still winning last night is probably the most impressive electoral accomplishment of the decade.

This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.

Sweden's Supreme Court upheld the transfer to Ukraine of Caffa, a Russian shadow-fleet vessel accused of carrying grain from occupied Ukrainian territory. In June, a Swedish court seized the ship at Ukraine's request in a Russian war-crimes investigation, the first such ruling in Sweden. #Ukraine

Zelensky said Russia's attack on Kyiv and the surrounding region killed 17 people and injured 44. Russia launched 24 ballistic missiles, 4 Zircon/Oniks missiles and 115 drones, mainly targeting civilian sites. He said ballistic interceptors could have saved lives. #Ukraine

The EU will provide Ukraine with another €1.4 billion from proceeds generated by frozen Russian assets, Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi said. The funding will strengthen Ukraine's defense and national resilience as Russia continues its attacks. #Ukraine

Zelensky added that reduced deliveries of anti-ballistic missiles may be intended to pressure Ukraine into being more accommodating. He said partners officially attributed the cuts to fighting in the Middle East, but argued that political motives may also be involved. #Ukraine

ICE agents raided the family dormitories at the Dilley detention center and snatched this Bluey coloring page from a child before they could finish. I sued ICE to get these drawings back. You can what they sent me here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-e...

If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.

Biden was replenishing our stockpiles with US manufacturers using US union steel. Trump has sent tens of thousands of those jobs overseas and has crippled our supply chain with tariffs and none of our allies want to help us. Maybe we can buy our arms back from Saudi Arabia.

I'm good. Are y'all good out there?

We are dumb. The US withdrew from WHO. DOGE severely downsized a CDC lab that deals with outbreaks like cyclospora. We are in the middle of a cyclospora outbreak, with 11,000 cases in Michigan. Measles hits a 30 yr high. Now this. 🧪 www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/h...

👇 Texas you need James Talarico instead of a corrupt Ken Paxton. Knock on doors, fund raise, make calls to voters! Change the direction for Texas to actually benefit all Texans! Repost #Blues #Talarico #Texas

James Talarico: Since taking office, Ken Paxton has become a multi-millionaire — all while most Texans’ pay has remained stagnant for decades. He now owns 15 homes, while most Texans can't afford one. We can't afford Ken Paxton's corruption.
