The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

There are actually quite a few undocumented Russians in the US. Anyone have any videos of ICE forcefully deporting them? Or just the brown people?

We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

You wouldn’t vacation in Dachau in 1935. Don’t vacation in Florida in 2025.

Happy birthday to Bill Watterson, the creator of Calvin and Hobbes! Born on July 5, 1958.

This is a strawberry finch, if you've never seen one before.

Immediately.

In a horrifying article about the dangers of Teslas, one point stands out: Teslas automatically disengage self-driving mode <1 second before an imminent crash--not enough time for the driver to react, but enough for Tesla to deny responsibility for fatal crashes, since self-driving "wasn't engaged."

If there’s nothing to hide, why hide everything? Five Democratic state legislators were denied entry to Florida’s new immigration “detention center” deep in the Everglades known as “Alligator Alcatraz.”

If you're being snarky about children drowning in a flash flood what the fuck is wrong with you

It is insane, joe rogan. But you were warned repeatedly, yet you helped get him elected and helped let this happen. It’s good that you’re speaking up, but please be honest with yourself about the role you played here.

My heart is with everyone impacted by the devastating floods across Texas—those who have lost loved ones & those still searching. Many of the impacted families are from right here in Dallas. We’re mourning with you and praying for comfort, healing, & peace in the days ahead. TX-30 stands with you.

Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp. This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.

A little town in Vermont decided to make their 4th of July parade also about fighting fascism.

I will never take anyone seriously who says we need to raise the birth rates or face human extinction but it’s especially sickening now that the oligarchs have chosen to hoard even more resources by cutting off aid and killing millions of kids in the process

As Texas officials point to the National Weather Service failing to predict the amount of rain that caused this tragedy, it’s fair to wonder if the cuts made to the dept that many warned about played a role here. (Now add FEMA cuts & hospital closures)

Do not lose hope. You are not alone. Most of America rejects this. The people do not want an authoritarian regime—we do not want oligarchy, we do not want Christian nationalism, we do not want techno-fascism. And we’re more powerful than they’ll ever be. The people united will never be defeated.

A mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her eyes in shame was created by Dutch artist Judith de Leeuw. It is in a high population area of immigrants in France…!!! She said ‘The values that the statue once stood for - freedom hope, the right to be yourself - have been lost for many’…!!!

If your response to hearing that a bunch of people died in a flash flood is anything other than heartbreak and compassion I think you might be the baddies

The President—who uses antisemitic slurs—is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force. Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!

NOT A CRIMINAL A veteran’s wife was arrested by ICE when she went for an immigration check-in. She was separated from her young children, even though she’s still nursing. I wonder who he voted for? That said, it’s odd he said “almost inhumane”. Being snatched from your newborn baby IS inhumane.

More than 880,000 workers will get a raise this summer due to state minimum wage increases. Anyone upset about this should consider the following: If the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

Thou shalt boycott Florida.

They count on this.

USAID didn’t fail. It fed 127,000 kids—then was erased mid-crisis. No speech. No tribute. Just silence. They didn’t end a program. They liquidated a covenant. The last American promise not built on conquest—but care. 🔗 thelastmilewithusaid.substack.com

apart from its inherent qualities as a comic strip, I really appreciate that Watterson resisted the urge to franchise and merchandise C&H. There's no animated movie, no tv show, no line of toys, no ipad game. it exists in its entirety as a comic strip written and drawn entirely by one man.

It’s Calvin & Hobbes cartoonist Bill Watterson’s birthday today. When I was a kid I was so obsessed with Calvin & Hobbes that I carried around a stuffed bear and called it Hobbes. There’s no official merch (which I love), so my grandma painstakingly crafted this for me. Pic of him from my mom today

He wants all of us to feel like he does. Totally hopeless, joyless, and dead inside. But we’re not gonna let him, are we?

Happy Birthday to the one and only, Megan Rapinoe 🎉😎

"The Nazis... imagined their targets would self-deport. Once the myth of self-deportation collapsed, they turned to more punitive measures. On Tuesday, Noem similarly noted the Everglades camp was meant to frighten immigrants into self-deporting. 'If you don’t,' she said, 'you may end up here.'"

Angus: Canadians need to be really ready. We are upping our investment in military spending significantly. We are now procuring from the Europeans—whereas before, we would have just gone to the United States as usual to buy gear. We’re not buying gear from the United States.

MAGA having a real normal one in response to the tragic flooding in Texas

Regarding the flooding: GOP doesn’t want to fund the programs that predict these things, but they still want to blame the federal government for not predicting this. DOGE has consequences

To the “I voted for this” crowd: You voted for the guy who gutted the National Weather Service. Now we’ve got dead families and missing kids in Texas, because storm warnings didn’t go out in time. And he gutted FEMA so they can’t properly respond to disasters. That’s what you voted for?

The newly established “Make America Beautiful Again Commission,” created under a Trump executive order, may sound harmless, or even beneficial, but beneath the surface, it represents a major threat to public lands.

Seeing today how Pam Bondi has purportedly given the tech titans permanent immunity on the non-enforcement of the TikTok law. Helpful to remind people that she actually has zero ability/authority to do that.

If your reaction to hearing about a bunch of children dying in a flood in Texas is to make a snappy comment about how red states deserve it then you should fuck off and lock yourself in a closet until you can develop the actual fucking empathy and political understanding of an adult

Let me get this straight: Trump is using millions in FEMA shelter and services funds to build the cruel and unnecessary "Alligator Alcatraz" immigrant detention facility.  The cruelty is staggering. https://www.factcheck.org/2025/07/a-dedicated-fema-fund-will-pay-for-alligator-alcatraz/

BREAKING: The creator of the ICEBlock app — which tracks ICE agents in real time — dares Donald Trump to arrest him. “Come after me. Demonize me all you want. I’m not backing down.”

The Madre Fire — which started on federal land Trump manages — is now the LARGEST wildfire of the year. Trump hasn’t said a word. His admin is proposing cuts to the Forest Service instead. Rake your forest, Donald Trump.

I think it’s worth being explicit about what’s going on with the Zohran admissions stuff - this is a bad faith attack designed to try to drive the older Black voters that made up Cuomo’s base in the primary and who vote party line in the general to support Eric Adams to keep Mamdani out of City Hall

Illinois has officially ended the fiscal year with nearly $54 billion in revenue — the most the state has ever collected in a single year. We've exceeded initial projections thanks to responsible fiscal management that prioritizes Illinoisans.

a good indication of how bad the NYT reporting on Zohran’s college application was is that it got zero pickup from other mainstream publications yesterday. the only coverage was from the Times, the Post, and some right-wing slop farms

SMEARGLE

this look is everything to me

Trump cut NOAA research observation and early warning systems. We warned about in June. Now people are dead. Kids. I’m enraged. And so exhausted.

PUPDATE: Two days at a friend’s house with three other pit mixes and he’s a little tired

I assure everyone Joe Rogan doesn't feel bad about any of this. He's changed his entire brand into being a right winger. He surrounds himself with right wing sycophants that only exist to tell him how cool and right he is, and it has made him hundreds of millions of dollars. Fuck him.

Trump golfed while children drown…

This is a time when so many people are going to make so much money off of jailing and deporting immigrants. Just obscene amounts; tens of billions will be spent on contractors in the next few years.

What even is this game lol

Wow, I didn’t realize the 27 missing girls on the Texas campgrounds, not including the ones who are confirmed dead, were all this one Georgia congressman. That changes everything! Now it’s actually a good thing that 27 children are missing, you fucking heartless smug ass moron

Hideo Kojima is the funniest person on the planet and a visionary artist

Far right influencers are blaming the horrible flooding in Texas on chemtrails, which do not exist, rather than blaming them on climate instability, which does exist. They are monetizing fear of the unreal while ignoring the looming danger facing the entire planet.

That anti-Black anti-Asian article about Mamdani is NOT good springboard for discourse about who counts as a member of what group, actually The article was literally designed to prompt that response because the people behind it have been paying attention to the divisive power of AD*S discourse

The angry heap of metal that despises the funny man. #pixelart #ドット絵 #donniefriday

A reminder that is is possible to live a life of kindness & integrity. You don't have to sell out just because everyone else is.
