The regime knows it can’t win in November without sabotaging the midterms. It’s up to all of us to get into election protection formation. We’re organizing in all 50 states to protect everyone’s right to cast a ballot and have it counted. Join the Hands Off Our Vote kickoff call on Thursday👇
Breaking news: The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Monday to clear the way for a sweeping executive order that would place major new restrictions on mail-in voting for November’s midterm elections.

This phrase mowing the grass by @josecanyousee.bsky.social, a hardcore democrat apparently, is a reference to how they refer to massacring Palestinians (or Muslims and Arabs of any kind) in Israel and somehow doesn’t count as insanely genocidally racist among mainstream liberals.
wormwe got self-described "Hardcore Democrats" out here making genocide jokes (This account in on here too)
After these six House Democrats betrayed their constituents by voting with Republicans, we now need to turn up the pressure on the Senate. Email your senators and demand they reject right-wing plans to hand over our military decisions and data to Netanyahu: act.indivisible.org/sign/tell-yo...
"The goal of this regime is to scare us out of resisting.... Our job is to show up and be brave anyway." Great article from Daniella Jiménez, Renée Bartlett-Webber, and Ellie Prickett-Morgan at Mother Jones. Worth your time: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Shocking revelation in court documents that the Trump administration canceled billions of dollars of grants for energy projects based solely on whether states voted for Trump. ... and this is the sanitized version they presented to avoid discovery! www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...
An activist was detained at the border, so he wiped his phone before they could copy it. Now he’s being charged with “destroying evidence”—and nothing else. Absolutely Orwellian. gizmodo.com/a-feature-th...
NEW: I wrote for MSNBC about how Madison Square Garden turning off their facial recognition cameras for Taylor Swift is a perfect encapsulation of our dystopian present: where the wealthy can use surveillance to consolidate power, and the rest of us live in a privately owned panopticon.
NEWS: Taylor Farms gave *$2 million* to Trump & Republicans as they postponed a rule that could've limited the spread of outbreaks like the ongoing Cyclospora epidemic. And, years ago, the industry *also* successfully lobbied to cut a program that handled ~80% of federal produce pathogen testing.
Things will get worse as more students secretly use AI to do homework. There has always been a divide between those who care about education for its own sake and those who only care about grades, but AI will worsen this divide, leaving fewer people with the ability to do causal reasoning.
The Volatile MermaidI’m sorry what
I co-sign this great summary from @dereklowe.bsky.social . The goal is to destroy academic science, and these are the reasons. And all the “gold standard” and “needs reform” and “not high risk” stuff is transparent bullshit to hide the ball on what they are doing.
Derek LoweThoughts on the various Trump administration proposals to revamp US science funding - and what they all have in common:
I’m glad that the walls seem to be closing in on Andrew Tate, but it took criminal investigations across three countries, dozens of outspoken victims, and a hit TV show implying he drives boys to murder girls for this to happen—and he still hasn’t been convicted yet. This is why 98% get away with it
