I do not think we should have a death penalty. I don't think it is any kind of deterrent. I think it's barbaric. I think it makes us all worse people. All of us. And we just don't have to do this to ourselves. We could abolish it, and we should.

it’s wild that the heritage foundation wrote in text that the assault on trans woman particularly in sports is their first step in their efforts to completely abolish all Title IX protections and liberals still don’t believe it’s about more than trans women in sports

There was a concerted right wing attack on transgender rights, which leaked emails show, and which the Times will not report. But sure. It's "organic."

It’s impossible to overstate how openly Islamophobic many GOP voters I know have become. They are convinced that Mamdani and El-Sayed are posing as progressives to get in office and impose “Sharia law.” It’s completely unhinged but they view their fear as “rational” and “common sense.”

@EvidentlyR @evidentlyreading.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

I've been watching some former conservatives I know get radicalized by the Bad Place to an extreme level - they now think that there is a huge threat that Islamists will take over the country, that Mamdani is an existential threat to the US, and that the DSA will turn us all into commies

Sanctuary cities are not "harboring illegal immigrants." They are making their cities safer, because when residents are afraid law enforcement will report them to ICE, they are less likely to report crimes.

Had someone argue with me today that a) the Chinese Exclusion Act wasn't racist; and b) America wasn't a country in the 100+ years when we didn't restrict immigration. Boy, white supremacy is a real head trip.

OK, but I live 40 minutes from Idaho and what works in Idaho absolutely would not work on the coasts... unless the coasts are down for creating a Christian nationalist separatist state.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

One important thing to note about this SOTU is that it's just a bad speech on top of everything. (Also, what is up with Trump's hair? I guess no one had the courage to tell him he had ablittle flag of hair poking up.)

I once coached a teacher who told his 4th graders they could make up statistics to put in their essays. So they would write something like, "According to friends dot com, 94% of kids like friends." Apparently, those kids grew up to work in the Trump administration.

I know there will be a lot of video dissection and discussion of this morning's shooting. What I need the media to ask is why agents engaged a man who was peacefully filming them, and why they continued once he backed away.

He was filming and they engaged him; he backed away and they tackled him.

Rather than pundits urging all Democrats to move the center, how about urging candidates to believe in stuff. Progressives can win. Moderates can win. Just don't cynically triangulate yourself into things you don't believe.

There are too many Dem senators who still think rationale incentives apply to the other side. They think "surely, after this election they'll realize how unpopular they are and when they hear from their constituents, they'll want to extend the subsidies." After all time.
