It's the original sin of the internet. Previously, people with these viewpoints would be met with 'What the fuck is wrong with you?' in the real world now find themselves in online spaces with other idiots going 'Hell yeah bro' It's a critical mass of arrogant ignorance, like a nuke but stupid.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

We have reason to be optimistic, but it's very possible a pro-R polling error, Collins magic, anti-AES islamophobia, Alaskan legal shenanigans, and a Blexas mirage means we *still* fall short of a Fetterman-proof Senate. Don't fuck around. Vote Blue.

Lol, lmao.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

every billionaire is a policy failure

Not only a vital defeat of the far right, but also a win of inestimable value for the planet.

Hungarian PM Péter Magyar: "I have just spoken by phone with the leaders of the Students List, who won the elections in Serbia, to congratulate them... I assured them of Hungary’s support. I was delighted to hear how much strength our victory in April had given them during this difficult struggle."

some good news in the world: Lula será presidente!

Do not grant Trump and his inner circle powers that don't exist. He has no ability to "cancel" the election or declare martial law and make the results go away. It's not a question of "who's going to stop him." It's that there is no mechanism to do it, and any order to do so has no validity.

Enormous news. A melanoma vaccine, one of the most deadly cancers out there. Science is good and helpful and there should be more of it. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

More than 50,000 people in Europe died this summer from heat, a record high amount, a new study finds.

Q: There's a report that FEMA is telling states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. Any reaction? OSSOFF: So the Trump administration is telling folks across the country to prepare to fend for themselves while taxpayer dollars are sent to back Don Jr & Eric's mining interest in Kazakhstan?

#BREAKING US embassy staff and families ordered to leave Saudi Arabia, with families of embassy staff in the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Qatar and Bahrain also ordered to leave, diplomatic source tells AFP

we gotta bring back shame, man society doesn’t work real well without consequences for being an enormous piece of shit in public

“The role of a food bank has gone from being a real lifeline in the most extreme cases to being an important part of the social services infrastructure of many American communities,” said Richard LeBer, of the Harry Chapin Food Bank of Southwest Florida. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/18/u...

Albania's corrupt government secretly sold a popular nature preserve to Jared Kushner to be bulldozed for an exclusive resort, and Albanians responded by burning everything to the ground.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

I’m alarmed that more people aren’t alarmed by Trump targeting Somali Americans and labeling them “garbage” and “crooks” who “contribute nothing.” Most of them are U.S. citizens, yet Trump says, “I don’t want them in our country.” If you know history, you know the horror this can lead to.

Couple that with Starlink cutting off Ukraine and you have all the reasons you need to strive towards not relying on US technology.

To be Young, Black and Gifted yall… Shout out to the students at North Carolina A&T University. They were stripped of their polling station on campus so they all marched together the nearest one to vote early. They are the future that gives me hope. 👏🏾🤩✨🇺🇸

NEW: Ahmed Soliman’s lawyers tell me he is seriously ill and has been hospitalized. They don’t know what exactly is wrong bc an Equatoguinean attorney was not allowed him to see him today. A federal judge ordered him returned nine days ago. He should already be here. prospect.org/2026/10/07/f...

A better argument is that the chaotic transition in the 90s laid the ground for Putin's gangster state. But then it's not surprising the rest of eastern Europe sought refuge in the EU and NATO.

schumers silence on omar is fucking enraging, he needs to go

This is just flat out racism. No other way to describe it, and if you see someone trying to do otherwise (looking at you NYT editors) then correct them.

Is it bad if major defense contractors have their own foreign policies?

This article mostly teaches me that a society in which any one person can get this rich is bad for that person's mental health, and more or less guarantees that when the person goes mad their madness will damage millions of innocent lives.

"For Trump and his movement, real Americans are defined by race and ancestry," writes @michellegoldberg.bsky.social. "The logic of this brand of politics moves inexorably toward atrocity." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/o... This is not just opinion, it is also fact.

Another school shooting in America today. It doesn't have to be this way.

An attempted attack on a Hindu temple came amid a weeks-long right-wing frenzy over "The Indian Question"; police found a manifesto from the alleged shooter "containing statements expressing white supremacist and extremist ideologies."

Italian Americans can pick a different hero if they want to. There were over 100 Americans of Italian descent who were parachuted into the north by the OSS to support the Resistenza Italiana even before the principal liberation of Italy in 1943. For instance.

Wow.

Six days after ICE shot him in the Bronx, Oscar Belgal remains in MDC Brooklyn, and still hasn’t gotten surgery to remove the bullet in his neck. “He has experienced a loss of sensation in half of his face, as well as hearing loss in his left ear.” Gift link: www.nydailynews.com/2026/10/14/l...

Those fucking people need to realise the problem lies within themselves and fix their own shit instead of wrecking everything because they are the fluffiest snowflakes.
