Over the coming days, the billionaire media will make an all out effort to characterize the victories of Progressive Democrats in primary elections all over the country as 'dangerous' and a bad for the Democrats. The will use terms like 'far left' to sow fear and division. Rather than believing these fork-toothed pundits, please take a minute to listen to Milat Kiros, the latest progressive champion, in her own words...

Video Clip: Milat Kiros | Democratic Nominee for US House CO-1 (Denver Area) | This Is A Movement | 2:51

A star is born. You may have heard "far left' 29 year old DSA candidate Milat Kiros won the US House Democratic nomination in Denver last night. Here she is in her own words.

"We are winning. From coast to coast. From every level of office. We are taking back our party and our country"

"The future is being written right now... This is a movement, and we are just getting started."

"Unrivaled moneymaking run." No, #BrokenTimes, it is unprecedented CORRUPTION. Use the word. If you can't say this, you can't report what is actually happening.

CO AG Weiser⚡won the Dem primary race over Sen Bennet for governor, making Bennet the 1st sitting senator to lose a guv primary in 15 yrs.

Kiros’s victory⚡over the 15 term incumbent, D Degrett, for the Dem CO-01 primary, fuels nationwide exuberance of Democratic Socialists.

Wow! The #DSA candidate Melat #Kiros beat incumbent Rep. Diana #DeGette, in Colorado, multiple outlets have announced.

Interesting bit of trivia: DeGette was 15-term incumbent first elected the same year Kiros was born.

DSA candidates have won 3 primaries so far this cycle. Doing the work, getting the votes. Awesome.

In other news, Corporate Sponsored Schumer Dems are are raising war chests to fight the DSA. Because of course they are. Meanwhile magats are trotting out "communism" because Diaper Daddy thought Swayze was hot when he watched Red Dawn last night. Or something equally dada, who knows.

The simulation continues to get more absurd by the hour.

Last week, the Supreme Court gave Trump the ability to deport 350,000 Haitian immigrants living in the US under TPS. What wasn't reported on was how the case can be directly linked to one of the most overt nazi organizations in the US right now

The leaders we need are already leading. They are weaving, connecting, designing, prototyping, proof of concepting, sheltering, nurturing, feeding, peace building, land caring, library protecting, public art-making.

In the U.S., the fight over birthright citizenship is only just beginning. The Republican Fascist Party will center the issue in the midterms and beyond, because it is THE proxy for their white supremacism.

Just finished listening to your conversation with Lawfare Senior Editors Kate Klonick and Alan Rozenshtein, it's excellent.

PS Anyone fighting to stop the approval of a data center will get a number of important arguments to use with local, regional and state officials why granting approval would be an enormous economic gamble from this podcast episode, never mind the environment and grid impacts.

Astrophysicist Ethan Siegel provides his unfiltered opinion of Avi Loeb.

"On those metrics, there is no better qualified astronomer in the country than Avi Loeb, who will no doubt find himself surrounded by like-minded individuals like Dr. Oz, Lee Zeldin, and RFK Jr. in the quest to destroy what remains of the American scientific enterprise entirely, and to replace it with Lysenko-esque policies that will lead to both long-term and short-term harm to all.”

Trump’s personal army/police detained a nun walking to mass, dressed in her habit. They held her in custody until public outcry led to her release. Don’t forget: we live in a county whose federal government, and many states’ governments, are controlled by Republican Fascism. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/30/ice-nun-detained-released-texas

The CRASH Clock paper is now peer-reviewed! So to celebrate, my co-authors and I wrote an explainer article (because how better to celebrate one article than by writing another... oh academia...)

It's now published in The Conversation Canada: https://theconversation.com/a-new-crash-clock-measures-the-chance-of-satellite-collisions-and-its-ticking-down-fast-283481

We originally wrote this paper nearly a year ago. As of last June, the CRASH Clock was at 5.5 days. It's now down to 2.5 days. It was 168 days in 2018, pre-Starlink.

It just keeps dropping as we launch more satellites into orbit.

This metric shows how completely dependent we are on continued perfect operations in orbit. 2/3 of all satellites today are Starlinks, and they performed 300,000 collision-avoidance maneuvers last year. They have done it perfectly so far. How long can that continue?
