This is a good way to write about the anti-trans sentiment popping up around the WNBA lately, imo. It's gross and bad, and people should say that plainly!

CDC is no longer surveilling outbreaks caused by campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio and Yersinia. What could go wrong?
Ian Weissman, DO@drianweissman.bsky.social · 11mo agoThe CDC quietly scaled back a surveillance program for foodborne illnesses. As of July 1, a critical surveillance program is monitoring for only two pathogens instead of the usual eight. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Officers shooting a man, running away from law enforcement, who is not a target of law enforcement, and who poses no threat to law enforcement, is murder. Federal officers do not have the power to commit summary executions because they are aggrieved.
ICE is a menace to democracy and its murderous conduct should be soberly considered. But we should also recognize that these people are weak and sad and ought to be made fun of. Read more: www.theverge.com/policy/96430...

What American women have been hearing from the American system the past 18 months: Women are less than men and that’s how it should be and this must be “restored” If you don’t know what I mean, the problem includes you, men and women alike We must do better for Americans
A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.

Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting
I don’t have a big audience (and I’m good with that!), but as someone with hands-on experience with ceasefire and peace negotiations, I feel like I should highlight some key points about all this. 🧵👇 1/
Matthew Gertz@mattgertz.bsky.social · 2mo agoHard to think that the reason we haven't seen the text of an agreement that President Trump supposedly signed with Iran is because the terms were too good for the U.S...
SCOOP: The Trump administration is paying millions to quickly cover four enormous bronze horses with extra-thick 23.75 karat gold leaf. The money for the rush job is coming from National Park Service funds. In total, I found ~$100 mil spent on new DC beautification projects.

One thing that won't get enough attention about John Cornyn's loss to Ken Paxton is that, no matter what happens in November, Texas Republicans just willingly gave up seniority in the Senate, one of the most prized currencies in federal politics. Let me explain what I mean... (thread)
Breaking: The NYS Assembly, dominated by democrats, just voted for a Trumpy energy agenda that guts the NY climate law. The climate law delayed action by 7 years, but a court had ordered Hochul to implement it… so she moved to gut it and the legislature is obliging. 🤦🤦🤦

If I told you ten years ago all of the Jeopardy winners, doctors, lawyers, stat-focused sports nerds, and premium shitposters escaped Twitter on a pirate ship to a website that was completely inhospitable to Nazis and phrenologists……. I don’t know, man, I’d be pretty excited.
This is the first day in a world without CBS News Radio, which had been broadcasting since 1927. Through eighteen presidential administrations, nine popes, five British monarchs, and numerous wars. Nearly 100 years of journalism, gone like that. Bari Weiss killed it.
In 2017, we traveled to Brooklyn to do a show at BAM, and our guest dropped out at the last minute. We called Stephen Colbert and he agreed to fill in *but only if we asked him the questions we had prepped for the original guest, without telling him who it was.* www.npr.org/programs/wai...

Colbert is both a mensch and an actual genius. One of one. He and @maddow.bsky.social are the two best broadcasters of our time; truly in their own category. I'm angry and sad the president and the feckless suits cancelled the show but also know it's not the end.
this is such a great encapsulation of what the various factions of the reactionary right want. i might add that they envision themselves as slave masters and the rest of us, in one way or another, as their slaves. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...
