The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel confirms that a Columbus, Ohio, police officer detailed to the RNC shot and killed a homeless Black man (earlier reported to be in his early 20s) more than half a mile from the RNC arena. The man was known by the nickname Jehovah and took care of a pit bull named Isis.

Getting increasingly pissed off by various politicians "distraught" today. This is America, where every day we wonder if this when someone we love gets mowed down by a shooter. Pretending to be shocked just shows you don't get it. Trump has a Secret Service detail to protect him. My kids don't.

Good interview. Frustrating to know what the problem is, and yet nothing you’ve done over 25 years of work and advocacy has changed the direction society is heading.

Same stupid motherfuckers made Tressie nope out of here. Being an asshole to Black people online because you’re ineffective at helping people in the real world isn’t praxis, actually.

It's all so self-defeating, and will accelerate this place dying on the vine. Bouie's among the handful of brilliant columnists fighting the good fight at major outlets. (One could argue that he's the best of his generation.) Don't drive him off for having the audacity to interact with you!

See if these pieces of shit ever admit they just want to bully Black folks who have any kind of a platform.

Now I really really am thin skinned. I will HOW FUCKING DARE YOU at the drop of a hat. And I think that's fair? It's not funny to be defamed, it's not funny to be attacked. And it's okay to stand up and say FUCK YOU NO.

Before it was Jamelle, it was Tressie, before it was Tressie, it was all those black folks y’all chased away before this app was even fully open to the public. I can’t PAY a lot of my friends to try BlueSky because of what they’ve heard about y’all. It’s not a person; it’s a proven pattern.

If you're looking for practical ways to defeat Trump at the polls, here are some suggestions of things you can do to protect voting rights and get out the vote: gregpak.net/2024/07/02/t...

People who are ACTUALLY engaged in electoral organizing are exhausted and also they understand that yelling online convinces no one so they don't do it.

Any Democrat in these states who doesn’t lean on this hard shouldn’t be in office. It’s a gift.

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)

I have very well meaning, impressively educated liberal friends who think justices are abundantly principled and that laws are real, as opposed to what the blatantly obvious truth is which is: “a lawyer is someone who you can ask to get you somewhere, and they can find out a way to do it…”

These mistakes originalist justices are making aren’t about disputed interpretations of history, with evidence on both sides. They’re pulling quotes out of context to attribute ideas to founding figures that those figures adamantly opposed. (via @andycraig.bsky.social) reason.com/volokh/2024/...

The Supreme Court's Dubious Use of History in Department of State v. Munozreason.com Justice Amy Coney Barrett's majority opinion includes significant errors, and violates some of her own precepts against excessive reliance on questionable history.

If Biden said something like this it would spell the end of not only his campaign but his current tenure. It's just one of countless examples of insane gibberish from Trump that the press & Democrats are choosing to treat as an immutable part of the electoral landscape rather than a story or issue.

“And the slaves , sir? What of them?” You asked about the temperature.” “I did not.” “We shall have two different unrelated scales of temperature. One of them will make sense to the entire world and the other will be super random. We’ll use the random one.” Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸 youtu.be/JYqfVE-fykk

In which I ask, among other things, why spend $100M on a “bold public awareness campaign” to increase abortion access when abortion funds are barely scraping by?
