For the first time, the US military has publicly acknowledged that it has space weaponry, violating its policy of secrecy. Experts warn the revelation will cause our adversaries to launch a new arms race in space. One said "I don't think this is going to be in the interest of US national security.”

The fact that Target’s Halloween costume resembling racist minstrel performers was even considered to be sold is instructive of why DEI matters. Any Black person in the chain of command for non-character costumes would have struck it down immediately. @shalisemyoung.bsky.social goes deeper:

They used 911 to start a culture war against the middle east. They thought everything would slide democratic without an ounce of evidence. The people became fed up, rejected Bush, rejected HRC, and elected Obama. A rout of institutional power which they have fought since. They/Trump=not the people.

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has been an accelerator for the energy transition I told @npr.org. In an uncertain world, many countries found that investing in renewables and EVs give them energy security – and makes economic sense. And that's not going away. www.npr.org/2026/07/09/n...

The Iran war has pushed some countries away from oil and toward clean energy
The new round of bombing in the Middle East has underscored the precarity of relying on fossil fuels. The war is speeding up the global transition to EVs, solar, and batteries, experts say.

Two things can be true about Balogun's World Cup reprieve
For USMNT fans, seeing Folarin Balogun play against Belgium after FIFA rescinded his suspension will feel a bit odd -- a jumble of joy tinged with a heavy slice of unease.

The first thing the Bill of Rights says, "Congress shall make NO law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;..." NO MEANS NO. You don't make laws about it, you don't prohibit anyone including Muslims or Atheists from practicing. Anything else is unamerican!

Judges aren't just neutral umpires who call balls and strikes, they're competing on the field and making decisions that reflect their personal preferences. Eric Scarfee's latest looks at how the Supreme Court has devolved its neutrality in court and uses some recent cases to illustrate that.

Well the conservatives/GOP/Leonard Leo have proven definitively that natural law is not a thing. All law is arbitrary and exists to maintain the economic status quo. There is no such thing as stare decises and decisions are made purely on the ideological make up of the Court. A change gonna come.
