If Benito ever has business in front of the court, I’ll worry about this.

In the meantime, how about you write something up about Thomas and Alito taking luxury trips and gifts from corrupt billionaires with cases in front of the court?

Seems important.

11 stars for the Confederate states instead of 13 stars for the original colonies is a detail most Americans won’t notice because of our public school system.

White Oak with no name, or a name only known to other White Oaks - Warfield, Virginia

This massive tree is over 100 years older than its home of Virginia, the first permanent English colony in the New World

If recording with glasses were the same as recording with a phone, the glasses wouldn’t exist. The concealment is the point. Bypassing consent is the point.

No, Donald, this was not a case "against the United States of America and all it stands for." It was a case against you. And a jury of your peers found you liable for rape and defamation. You lost. Again.

"Every one of these children had a name. They had dreams, loves, and futures. Their lives were as valuable and special as your child’s or mine. They were loved, and somewhere, their families grieve for them."

Justice Thomas citing a half assed blog post for historical evidence is really something to behold.

I just heard a woman say “never trust a man who would rather teach you a lesson than make sure you’re safe” and I had to share.

[Spectrum News NY1 @NY1]

Mayor Zohran Mamdani said the city is implementing several new "first-of-their-kind" measures in order to beat the heat.

Thousands of LinkNYC kiosks across the five boroughs will display routes to the nearest cooling center, which Mamdani says shouldn't be more than a 10-minute walk.

There will also be "cool vans" stationed around the city to provide hydration and electrolytes, meals (including vegetarian, kosher and halal options), plus transport to the nearest cooling center.

To me "I said" is a direct quote as it was delivered in the moment and "I was like" is a general paraphrasing of what I said that may include my interior emotional response plus the general unspoken vibe of the interaction

Just shocking this was a 5-4 ruling. This Court is so so badly broken.

Trans people deserve to live full lives. Trump's Supreme Court doesn't get to take that away.

When the right comes for a trans kid who's just trying to live, we must be there — at the pool, the field, and the track. I’ll fight for a Trans Bill of Rights in Congress. But solidarity starts now.

If you were wondering why Michael
Cohen flipped back to the dark side,
it's because he's in the Epstein files.

Clarence Thomas argued the 14th Amendment was written narrowly for former enslaved people and doesn't apply broadly today. Using that same logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets and doesn't apply to AR-15's, but somehow, he's never made that argument.

The House has PASSED Massie's resolution to release the names of Congressmen who used the Congressional slush fund to pay off accusers for sexual misconduct settlements, by a 420-0 vote.

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

We protect 100-year-old buildings as historic treasures, then cut down 500-year-old trees for furniture. That's insane.

An old-growth tree isn't just some big tree. It is a living carbon bank, seed source, cooling system, water filter, fungal network, bird nursery, insect factory, and archive of centuries of weather, fire, drought, and survival.

The older it gets, the more jobs it does. Big old trees store enormous amounts of carbon, and research has found they can keep adding carbon faster as they grow larger. Some ancient trees add more carbon in a single year than an entire mid-sized tree contains.

They also make habitat younger trees can't cough up. Cavities for owls and bats. Broken limbs for nesting birds. Dead wood for beetles and fungi. Mossy bark for lichens and invertebrates. Cool, damp microclimates for salamanders and seedlings. Fallen logs that feed the soil for decades.

A thousand-year-old tree is not 'renewable' in any meaningful human timeframe. Cut it down for furniture, flooring, paper, or profit, and the ecosystem it carried does not come back when someone plants a replacement seedling.

We already protect old churches, courthouses, barns, bridges, and battlefields because they connect us to the past. Old-growth trees do that too.

Another one of @MirandaDevine’s favorite sources is going to jail.

Miles Guo got 30 years yesterday for a billion-dollar fraud.

He was Steve Bannon’s business partner. Together they built GTV. GTV pushed the doctored photos and smears about me. They built the Laptop from Hell narrative. Devine made it famous. Guo even had a Mar-a-Lago membership.

He joins Alexander Smirnov. Six years for fabricating the Burisma bribery story that drove the impeachment inquiry against my father. Smirnov admitted he made it up.

And Gal Luft. Still a fugitive. Indicted for acting as an unregistered Chinese agent after paying a Trump adviser to push Beijing’s line in public.

All three came after me and my father. All three are liars and frauds. All three served the interests of Donald Trump. And they are just the tip of the iceberg.

Follow me on Substack where I’ll be sharing the whole story soon.
