The opting out is especially wild Like, Republican governors are being actively presented with money to feed kids and affirmatively saying 'I would like children to starve actually' (Also, if I'm a Dem campaigner, I'm making some ads and placing some op eds about this immediately)
The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer
Republican-led states are blocking summer food benefits for hungry familieswww.usatoday.com Money for food is especially tight for families in a dozen states where Republican lawmakers declined to accept federal food assistance.

IMO this is all performative. If Biden stays in, it's not like they're going to bankroll Trump, and they won't stay neutral

Joe Biden has been an excellent president, and I highly doubt he lost his marbles in the last few months

Listen to the Biden interview. Its 15ish minutes of Biden talking extemporaneously perfectly well. But like several other public events over the last several days, this is getting brushed aside because the narrative that political news media wants to go with is set. civicmedia.us/shows/specia...

This👆 But it is an awful decision that I predict will sit next to decisions like Koramatsu and Plessy. A nadir for the Court, and a stain on this nation. Beyond that, and looking and the entire course the Court took to reach this point, it's also a decision that betrays profound moral cowardice.

Work our asses off. Every state. Every election. Every time. It's the only solution.
This is one of the most dystopian signs I've ever seen. Republicans are quickly turning this country into an unrecognizable freakshow.

Vote. Also knock on doors, volunteer for campaingns. Get involved locally. Go to meetings, work with others, make your own community safer, better, more organized. Know what's on school board agendas. Show up and comment. Give politicians a reason to know what you want, and why they should care.

Not over. As someone alive before Chevron precedent, before legal abortion, before many things being flipped back in time existed, I can say you can fight this war&win it. Again. &this time, people have sunk costs&reaped benefits where before it was theoretical. They will feel&resent the loss.
The war is over. The bad guys won.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Every week, a version of this cycle. 1) Dems worry that Biden isn’t winning on economy. 2) Biden holds events about economy. 3) Nobody gives a damn. 4) Trump says something crazy. 5) Biden team reacts. 6) News coverage. 7) Dems worry about Biden reacting to Trump instead of talking economy.

A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE FLEW AN INSURRECTION FLAG IN HIS YARD AND WILL FACE NO CONSEQUENCES AS HE DECIDES CASES IN WHICH THE INSURRECTIONIST FPOTUS IS CLAIMING HE IS IMMUNE FROM CRIMINAL PROSECUTION, YES I AM SHOUTING

Yes, he means it. I know many people will be frustrated that he hasn't thrown Trump in jail already, but this seems like the sort of progression I'd expect, and IMO we reached the stage where the judge is willing to jail Trump pretty quickly

Some people use their antizionism as a cover for antisemitism. Some antizionists are not, do not. Some Zionists are antisemitic. Many Jews critique the actions of the Israeli government from a place of Jewish values.

I know it's WHCD, but I wouldn't mind seeing this version of Biden at campaign appearances too
Biden on Trump's cringy "Gettysburg.,, wow!' rally. "Trump's speech was so embarrassing the statue of Robert E Lee surrendered again."

Twitter is glitching in a super fun way, so reporters are having trouble live-tweeting the court hearing. Come to Bluesky, everyone!

I've heard from a few people here that they don't get "much engagement" on Bluesky, and therefore are going elsewhere. But I notice that, for many of them, they don't engage themselves. They don't respond to others or reskeet interesting things. If you want engagement, it helps to engage...

MEDIA REMINDER: Trump and Johnson are going to spew lies. Here is the fact: 18 U.S.C. §611 already makes it a felony for noncitizens to vote in federal elections.

Some people (mostly of the kind who use "woke" as an insult) criticize Scientific American for covering political issues, but we've been advocating for the teaching of evolution since the Scopes Monkey Trial in 1925 and we're not about to stop
