Jack Posobiec is criticizing Weimar Republic Germany the right way.

I mean have you been to Spokane Washington

damn I feel seen and also attacked, is this what getting old is like

60,000 Gazans have been killed. 18,500 were children. These are their names. Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one per hour since the war began.

The Washington Post just published the names of more than 18,500 children in Gaza killed by Israel.

Right???? Reading this interview was so frustrating, like, no, you're clearly not trying to implement anything approaching a more community-oriented, compassionate police department.

No way should they have this behind a paywall, but here's a gift link. These numbers are still impossible to comprehend.

NYT Headline: Why did such a powerful earthquake produce such a weak tsunami? The quake in Russia on Wednesday was among the strongest ever recorded–but perhaps not strong enough.

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social has broken containment

The #tsunami advisory remains in effect for western Washington. Eastern Washington will be hot today and tomorrow. You know what to do. Stay safe and stay cool! 🕶️

X post by @nobushiromasaki. JP text: カムチャッカ半島付近の大地震（M8.0）による津波、日本各地にも1m程度の津波が来るという注意報が出てる。侮らないで。1mは、ふつうに自動車が流されるレベルです。画像は拾い物だけど、これが本当だから。沿岸地域の方、特に気をつけて！

On X, Masaki Nobushiro posts a recurring (and useful) drawing about how people wrongly think a 1m tsunami is a cresting wave when it's actually a wall of water filled with dangerous and deadly debris that's strong enough to sweep up a car.

The Earthquake That Will Devastate the Pacific Northwest When the Cascadia fault line ruptures, it could be North America’s worst natural disaster in recorded history.

In 2015, Kathryn Schulz wrote about how the question isn’t if an earthquake will destroy a sizable portion of the coastal Northwest, but when. Revisit the piece.

Ocean rapidly retreating. Get away from the shore #Hawaii. #Tsunami incoming.

help I hate MAGA Morticia

Simo's look is like if goth girl looked at MAGA makeup trends and thought "I want in"

Relatedly, I think editor’s bylines should appear under writer’s bylines.

I hear Portlanders are drawing chalk balls and dicks around potholes they want fixed in the street... and I want to encourage this behavior nationwide.

All the dire implications notwithstanding it is hilarious how evil this technology is. Billions of dollars spent on this greasy lying stupid thing that was literally built to replace people, and everyone that uses it gets weaker, lazier, dumber, and sadder for having done so. Well done all around.

I don't like to speak badly of people. I have grown up thinking and being told that if you cannot say something nice about someone, you should not say anything at all. But I must break that rule in this case because I hate Hulk Hogan very much. He is a big ugly goon and I want to squash his face. -Andre the Giant

Adding this to my to-read list!

What's the other side of the spectrum of @lclaberge.bsky.social's phenomenal Marx for Cats arguing cats have always been a symbol of the underclass' struggles wrt hegemonies?
Well, the usage of alligators as a symbol of structural racism's violent delights, as outlined by @asherelbein.bsky.social.

The ICE camps are concentration camps. They should be called concentration camps.

It is, of course, important to distinguish between concentration camps and death camps, but also, I am not sure we will know when or if we undergo the transition from concentration camps into death camps.

Infographic titled “One Court, Two Standards” compares how the Supreme Court used emergency powers to rule on lower-court injunctions against the Biden and Trump administrations. Two panels show: • Biden Administration: Lower courts blocked policies in 21 cases. 2 cases saw injunctions/TROs were lifted by SCOTUS. • Trump Administration: Lower courts blocked policies in 86 cases. 66 green squares and 20 red squares show that 77% of injunctions/TROs were lifted by SCOTUS. Key takeaway box below reads: “Using its ‘shadow docket,’ the Supreme Court granted emergency relief to lift 77% of lower-court injunctions against the Trump administration. It lifted 0% of those against the Biden administration.” Sources and notes below include: CourtListener data through July 7, 2025; analysis by Adam Bonica.

Apologies, the previous chart was incorrect. I missed that SCOTUS granted emergency relief in Murthy v. Missouri after the appellate court's stay. I also missed FDA v. Alliance.

The updated rate of lifted injunctions for the Biden admin is 10% (2 of 21), not 0%.

House Homeland Security Committee Democrats @HomelandDems Our government is run by cringy racist nerds Underneath is a DHS tweet. Homeland Security @DHSgov. 9m FIRE UP THE DEPORTATIONS PLANES! Undneath that is a meme that shows a skeleton benching weights. It says My Body is a Machine that Turns (blank is replaced with "ICE funding") into (blank is replaced with "mass deportations."). So the whole thing reads "My body is a machine that turns ICE funding into mass deportations."

The state of our polity is not good!
