Apparently it’s unprofessional to have a murdered son

I am begging Americans to learn the difference between presidential and parliamentary systems. Our two party system is downstream of the way our government is designed.

people love the idea of a multi party system. based on israel, UK, and really lots of other places, I'm much less convinced. our problem is fascism. if we don't defeat fascism, it doesn't matter how many parties we have.

++BREAKING++ The UK and Spanish governments have issued a joint statement overnight: "[We] agreed that this summer’s wildfires demonstrated that climate change was now a national security emergency facing Europe and threatening our way of life." www.gov.uk/government/n...

Spain’s Nico Williams gave his mother, Maria, his World Cup winner’s medal after Sunday’s final ❤️💛 Nico's parents trekked some 2,000 miles across the Sahara from Ghana to Spain as refugees. Now, their son is a world champion 🥹

a truly masterful performance by Spain. actually what peak performance looks like

What an absolute monster. I am slightly too old for potter-mania, but if I had any books or merch they would be going directly into our backyard fire pit

Here is Graham gloating about "killing all the right people." Just in case you see anyone try to do the whole "we should have decency for the dead" nonsense.

About 10 years ago in Spain these companies started opening up shop in working class neighborhoods ravaged by the economic crisis. They would offer immigrants tokens and free meals to get them through the door.

A comrade is a pastor at Middle Church and asked me to share that they have a Free Store This Sunday. Please share with others in the city. I'm told the quality of items is top notch.

“But the bigger problem is how much of the media of ‘the left’ is dominated by men who appear to have no understanding of sexual abuse or intimate partner violence, but do have a pretty hefty sexist streak that they either aren’t aware of or don’t care to remedy.” YES @juliedicaro.bsky.social

We have an even bigger problem than Graham Platner

The candidate's rise and fall perfectly illustrates the sexism in lefty media

The son of the man shot and killed by ICE: I am Ronaldo Salgado, the oldest son of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. He should've been picking up the last of his guys before heading to finish up construction. Unbeknownst to all of us, my dad had been shot inside his van by ICE agents in unmarked cars.

And what I don’t think women understand is that men face so few consequences for rape, and experience their own raping as so smoothly continuous with the rest of their sex lives, that it’s not so much that these guys gamble that they’ll get away with it as that they simply never think of it again.

Moira Donegan@moiradonegan.bsky.social · last mo.

One thing I don’t think men understand is that rape and assault are so ubiquitous—and so perpetually immune from consequence or recognition—that many women learn to talk about these incidents as of they’re mere inconveniences. We are not allowed to treat them with more gravity.

I see dude cannot actually take any ownership or accountability 😒

Graham Platner Clarifies He Covered Penis With Tattoo After Learning About Its Troubling History

So many of the self-appointed leaders of the American Jewish community have obvious disdain for the fact that the community is what it actually is, and not what they want it to be.

I cannot stand my junior senator.

Kirsten Gillibrand's son, right out of college, getting a $300 million valuation on his "trade stocks as derivatives" company is a particularly ugly payoff for the Senator's stalwart crypto support, writes our friends at @revolvingdoordc.bsky.social. prospect.org/2026/07/08/n...

yes but those jobs aren't Penis

My idea would be that the next time people want to support a working class candidate for public office, we look for someone like a nurse or a public school teacher or a home health aide or a nice HR lady. And ideally someone with a track record of commitment to organized left politics.

My gosh. Yesterday, Egypt Coach Hossam Hassan asked FIFA to use its "soft power" to help Palestinians. Then today, just as the Egypt-Argentina match began, Israel killed Mohammed al-Wahidi of the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza — a group that also organized Gaza screenings of the FIFA matches.

So it turns out HR ladies do an important job and maybe deserve a bit more of our respect.

"It is not a coincidence that this story comes a week before the ballot deadline" correct, survivors often feel compelled to disclose when the men who harmed them are about to get a lot of power, that's not a conspiracy against the men, it's a rational fear turned action

I can't believe we still have to remind people of these things but: most rape victims don't file police reports. (You're reading one right now.) Shock, denial, need to appease the rapist, nominally friendly behavior toward the rapist, etc. are all common reactions

How was I today years old that I learned his parents named him Ronaldo because of their love of Reagan. Somehow, so fitting

I'm rooting for La Roja, but I do appreciate Les Bleus and their unapologetic politics. newrepublic.com/article/2126...

The 2026 World Cup’s Most Political Team Is Also (Probably) Its Best

Seemingly every two years, when a World Cup or European Championship comes along, another tired debate sparks off in France, which may well have the most politicized national team in soccer.

Who would have known Argentina would have so much trouble battling a remote Atlantic archipelago?
