This is just rank Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism, based on the bigoted idea that there is something inherently scary about a president with the last name "El-Sayed." It is incumbent on all of us to call it out.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 13h agoJD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "
This highlights a profound impact of Trump — the further normalization of violence against women. Trump got elected in spite of his long history of violence against women. He is not held accountable when he continues to abuse women. 1/2
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 14h agoMax Miller on why he's staying in the race: "When we go back to 2015 and 2016, & people in the media looked at President Trump, & everyone came out with allegations. Dozens of women, dozens of crazy allegations, dozens of nasty criminal misconduct. And you know what he did? He stayed in the fight."
Trump is killing it. People, animals, the planet, democracy, rule of law.

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · yesterdayWATCH — Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social on Trump’s insider trading: “If you pay Trump $100,000 a month, he will give you early access to White House announcements on economic and trade policy. None of this is normal, and a lot of this is illegal.”
They know he’s dying And still won’t stand up to him

Smoke has arrived in Seattle, but the other side of the Cascades is absolutely brutal. Wenatchee and other towns (e.g., Plain, Entiat) have been over 1,000 AQI today. Please use air purifiers, N95 masks, and avoid being outdoors if you’re able - there is no safe level of wildfire smoke exposure.
🤯 Rep. Max Miller's interview with Jake Tapper was one of the most self-destructive things I've ever witnessed on cable news. Here's the whole thing:
🤯 Max Miller's interview with Tapper is an utter trainwreck 🤯

He's accusing his ex-wife of violating their shared custody agreement because she took their daughter to the emergency room with a broken collarbone? bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · yesterdayMax Miller: When I was reported for child abuse, for my daughter, for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days, and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan
honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.

Apparently God’s legislative priorities include tax cuts for billionaires and taking health care and food assistance away from millions of Americans.
Right Wing Watch @rightwingwatch.bsky.social · yesterdayHouse Speaker Mike Johnson credits prayer for the passage of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill": "It was impossible. There was no way to reconcile everybody and get it all together and we came in here and prayed for a breakthrough and God delivered it."
These fuckers are never going to do anything If anything is to be done, it will fall to us We keep hoping that someone else will do something

Haven’t read the book, but this summary interview confirms our model: give up the future, deal with grief, find community, and live for simple daily joys. We tend to think that climate changes will overwhelm our adaptations, ultimately, but this approach will do, for now.

Holy moly. My kid just sent these pics of the sunrise in Seattle this morning. Just awful stuff my heart goes out to the folks in Spokane.
The proposition that the president of the United States is an adjudicated rapist isn't an argument. It is a fact.
I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 3d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
Trump said yesterday the Straight was in American control 🤷♀️
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoBessent: "We've seen President Trump last week threaten what would have been the largest military campaign since World War 2 against the Iranians, and now because of that we are in talks with the Iranians. I think there's a chance we may have a deal today or tomorrow to open the strait."
He's losing words. Anyone with a parent or loved one suffering from dementia will recognize this pattern. Wen he says "moving cameras," it's because he can't recall the word "videos" and so he's stating the component parts as best he can. E.g., a "camera" is involved and the images are "moving"
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump: "We have photographs or tapes -- like moving cameras, right? -- where people are on the side cutting it with a box knife."
Urban firestorms like the one that devastated Spokane Saturday have been growing more common because of increased development in the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) and climate change. In this post, I document 9 such fires since 2016 in the U.S. yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/08/urba...

Climate change, combined with development in high-risk areas, is making urban wildfires more likely.

That wall of smoke is headed west. It will cover Seattle and much of the coastal Pacific Northwest for three days while temperatures rise into the 90s. It means suffering for those without A/C, air purifiers, masks, or housing. This is our first climate disaster of the year. Will it be the last?
While I share the sentiments, these images are clearly AI
