Support this, but I wish damages could be more than just monetary. They should beat people who work for prediction markets with baseball bats.

This guy who assaulted a sitting member of Congress got 28 years and 10 months less jail time than a Texas resident who transported a box of zines that contained constitutionally protected content opposing ICE reason.com/2026/06/25/t...

Texas man gets 30 years in prison for transporting 'anti-government' pamphlets
The case stems from a violent anti-ICE protest, but critics say the government's prosecution threatens First Amendment rights.

AG Campbell has a duty to uphold the laws of Massachusetts. Her office has neglected to do that while cowardly institutions like Fenway and Baystate Health flagrantly break MA laws by continuing to deny care to trans youth. These young people are braver than anyone in that office. Solidarity ✊🏻

A 2,000 foot chunk of glacier snapped off and dropped 4,000 feet in Nepal. The flash flood killed 98 people. 391 tourists are missing. 47 Americans unaccounted for. 19 bridges gone. This isn't a natural disaster. This is climate breakdown.

A politician whose ideas are gibberish
A politician who is incapable of representing a mattress company

A good person
A strong person

A president doing a great job

Lindsay Graham was, I think, one of the most contemptible figures in US politics, a titan of respectable bipartisan foreign policy for years who displayed no principles, no insight, and no beliefs beyond a gleeful and vicarious love of violence. An indictment of every institution he served in. RIP.

Alarming story that confirms my own reporting along similar lines: Dan Moraff, the political strategist who plucked Graham Platner out of obscurity to run for senate and barely vetted him, was barred from Rep. Summer Lee’s 2022 campaign after three complaints of sexual misconduct.

“But the bigger problem is how much of the media of ‘the left’ is dominated by men who appear to have no understanding of sexual abuse or intimate partner violence, but do have a pretty hefty sexist streak that they either aren’t aware of or don’t care to remedy.” YES @juliedicaro.bsky.social

The NPS will launch 850,000 fireworks in the middle of the night. (Last year, they launched 7,000) That will dump perchlorates and heavy metals into the Potomac River and cause the amount of soot and smoke particles to skyrocket (pardon), at great danger to any creature that breathes.
