JD Vance describes allowing nuclear inspectors to inspect Iran's nuclear program as "the thing we are most excited about." I agree. That's why Obama included that same provision in the JCPOA. But remember, that's the Iran deal that Trump tore up.

You don't want a plethora of Democratic Socialists? Get rid of the white supremacist billionaires and dismantle the kleptocracy and they will vanish. Just like antifa only shows up when you have fascists. They're like white blood cells. They pop up when your country has an infection.

People should be vastly more angry about this than they are about data centers The federal government is literally stealing your tax dollars to keep you from having cheaper cleaner energy

When you are paying $765 million to companies to get them to cancel clean, renewable energy projects, you are screaming to the world that you are a corrupt fossil fuel lobbyist bitch who does not give a damn about what's best for America. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/17/c...

This is a really interesting short and spot-on. I think there are a lot of people that don't realize progressive Christians really exist (I've never actually worn that label myself, but it probably wouldn't be inaccurate to describe me). I'm such a fan of Talarico and really hope he does well.

I am not calling Talarico a fake Christian, I'm just saying that his faith might not matter in Texas as much as outside it.

People are fucking helpers man. We see how bad things are and want to do something to fix it. I'm legit tearing up watching this, these volunteers are out there in the hot sun with all these clothes for people just trying to see loved ones. They (ICE) have the firepower, we have the mass.

No joke, I saw this post this morning and just figured it was a joke. Some photoshopped image from @theonion.com or something. It's honestly becoming harder to tell the difference when reality is just so absurd.

The Tennessee Speaker of the House will remove all Democratic Caucus members from standing committees and subcommittees as punishment for their redistricting protests. Democracy dies in Nashville.

I've only recently *really* started exploring mechanical keyboards, and I ended up designing and ordering custom caps from Yuzu. Function keys match the @frame.work layout, colors match my terminal One Dark theme, and no "Caps Lock" key in sight. I'm loving them. willnorris.com/2026/keycaps/

Of course. And that’s why Dems need to lean in and work towards dismantling ICE. First no funding. Impeach Noem. Demand hearings on ICE’s operation in MN. Demand that Miller resign. Don’t let up.

When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need to silence truth-tellers if we've already decided truth is meaningless.
