Look what arrived today!

Thank you @margaret.bsky.social and @detritusbooks.bsky.social for being awesome! This order happened explicitly because of the CZM Book Club. I was entranced and had to get a copy for myself.

So yeah, on one hand, invoking the Gadsden Flag in the name of sending US troops to occupy US cities is hilariously absurd. On the other hand, it is exactly the sort of absurdity one would expect from a fascistic American leader.

Trump being unable to remember things he did in his first term, his bizarre antics during the Club World Cup final, the lashing out and reversals over Epstein, and the WH now admitting his health issues do not feel unrelated. The veneer of invincibility is cracking.

Would be nice if people talking about what Ron DeSantis is up to in the Everglades would acknowledge Floridians are fighting it and turning up halfway to the middle of nowhere to protest, because the way people who aren't in Florida are discussing #AlligatorAlcatraz you'd think there's no pushback.

New from Evan: You might know that the New York Times took a shameful victory lap the day after the Supreme Court ruled bans on gender affirming care are not discriminatory.

But what you probably don't know is that ban supporters cited NYT in their amicus briefs 29 times.
New York Times Cited 29 Times to Justify Case Limiting Trans Healthcare — Assigned
Meanwhile, other mainstream media newsrooms treated the U.S. v. Skrmetti case as an opportunity to center coverage around the expected result.

Portland, Oregon is so liberal the cops can unlawfully assault you on the news and no one will see it.

They can kill you in the liberal run jail and no one will see it.

Liberal magic.

It’s hard to express just how MUCH this will matter for thousands of women.
This is such an important shift. For many years the catholic church withheld support for HPV vaccination which prevents cervical cancer.
119,000 women die from this cancer in Africa every year.
This full throated support of the HPV vaxx by the church will help uptake.

It's a really weird couple of weeks for @adamconover.net .

He nailed a BTB appearance with @iwriteok.bsky.social , and then got dragged by @skepchick.bsky.social for "reviewing" The Orb in a TikTok video in which he never addresses that it was started by Sam Altman and is likely another scam.

Bluesky protecting identity of ICE agents. Hmmmm.
@theanarchistturtle.bsky.social

🚨 received a suspension for sharing the publicly available information of an ICE agent involved in the harassment and kidnapping of community members.

Bluesky is apparently running cover for these agents.

Fun: since Trump was elected, support for international cooperation of all kinds has climbed sharply, from free trade to overseas assistance.

Perhaps Trump’s real MAGA legacy will be Making Americans Globalists Again

incredibly important that he and everyone else frame it that way. we do need to fight for Abrego Garcia but we also cannot let that be the end of resistance against this lawless historic crime occurring at the behest of a Republican junta.
