photo of two pages of the New York Times, Sunday June 22: left page is aerial photos accompanying the headline “U.S. Joins War Against Iran, Bombing Its Key Nuclear Facilities,” a NYT ad headed “Innovating new story formats,” and right page is an ad comprised of the front page of the latest print issue of the Onion, headlined: “Congress, Now More than Ever, Our National Needs Your Cowardice”
here’s what the onion’s full page spot is running next to this morning
Brilliant synthesis, as per usual. If you don’t follow Carole Cadwalladr, I highly recommend.

So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

Maybe the conservatives in my replies will believe me now.
Hope it was worth it to stop a few of us from peeing.
Crawford: I never could have imagined that I'd be taking on the richest man in the world for justice in Wisconsin. And we won.
They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.
I mean… just another group chat!? 😬
There was a reason they attacked DEI first. It's because white christian male supremacist views are core to their movement. Dems should, contrary to the advice of some reflexive compromisers among us, respond by picking up the fallen banner of equality & opportunity. We should proudly champion it.
AOC and Bernie in front of the rally crowd in Denver
Zoomed out crowd shot of 34,000 people in downtown Denver with Colorado mountains in the background
Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
Everything you need to know about Pierre Polievre's MAGA MAPLE.
They have no policies just smears.
I have known Poilievre for 21 years.
He is unfit for public office.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Have to occasionally remind myself that this is NOT A TV show. JFC it feels like a rip-off of Law&Order where they try to fit in ALL the things, just to boost ratings.
Imagine being obliterated in a rocket explosion 11,000 feet above the Gulf of Mexico because you picked McNeese State over Gonzaga in the Sweet 16.
Yesterday is a day I'd rather forget. Even with what I thought was proper paperwork, I was denied entry in US. So, they put you in a holding room, take your passport and phone, and wait. In my case 4 hours, sitting in a shitty room in Newark International Airport in New Jersey watching all the people being detained arguing their case...brutal..... After. 2 hours, was told I could either be held until an Immigrantion Judge could hear my case, ( could take days) or they put me on a flight back to Toronto. I took the flight, but they hold you for the last minute, than I was escorted to my gate by 2 armed us customs dudes, walked directly to the plane door, they give me an envelope with my passport and phone and I walk on the plane, last one on, and now people are giving me looks...ffs At least they didn't have me in handcuffs Sucks, but ironically, the young US customs guy in charge of my file or whatever was a good person. He knew the red tape or bullshit was happening, he was sympathetic and even understanding, a good person. As he was finger printing me, finger by finger, he actually was apologizing, and when he found out I was a composer, I did hear him tell his supervisor to treat me okay, But big regret not being with Amabile Choirs and Sherryl Sewepagaham and our songs this weekend. The Creator has different ideas than we....
More stories of Canadians experiencing customs struggles and being threatened with detention now.
This is Cree music composer Andrew Balfour's post from today on Facebook.
That poor excuse for a pundit simply showed how deeply rooted homophobia is in some conservative camps. It was a good reminder to all.
That tracks… 😏
This was a moment where you say ‘wait, what did he just say!?’ and guffaw. Not because it is FUNNY but because it is so obtuse, ignorant and ridiculous. I pictured the face on Matt and the two other panelists, trying to hold it together! All that guy did was showcase his own deep homophobia.
The media is not covering the protests against oligarchy that are occurring nationwide.
Portland, Oregon - 3/8/2025 at noon ✊
As of today, there are more kids infected with measles than there are trans athletes playing in college sports in the U.S.
Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor.
The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes!
This is the power of representation.
The centrist and corporate wings of the party are obsessed with the idea that "the left" (whether that's like AOC and other progressives or like, rando college sophomores) are constantly embarrassing the party, but it's always the centrist swing-seaters who do shit that hurts the entire caucus

If you are able we REALLY need to support independent journalism. This is one great example.
Thank you for your work. Seriously - you will be a standout in all this when the dust settles and something is rebuilt on the other side.
