One heck of a story about how oil companies face no consequences for their serious violations in Oklahoma. This Oil Company Is Linked to 1,000 Pollution Incidents and Other Violations. Oklahoma Never Punished It. @nickbowlin.bsky.social @readfrontier.bsky.social

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

this may come as a huge shock to some of you, be sure you are seated before you read on: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/w...

Julie K. Brown at the Miami Herald is still doing the heavy lifting on keeping the story alive. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

US APPEALS COURT DENIES TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S REQUEST TO STOP CALIFORNIA FROM COUNTING MAIL BALLOTS FROM ALLEGED NONCITIZENS

* HASSETT: THE AFFORDABILITY CRISIS IS A MYTH @bloomberg.com

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.

I see big crowds for Dems. That's great. I've seen them before. That doesn't mean we'll win. The only way we win is if we vote. Period. The end. VOTE.

BREAKING: Another immigrant has died in ICE custody, the 28th death in ICE detention in 2026.

I hope Natalie shows Trump this clip of Harry Enten comparing Obama's popularity with his unpopularity

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

Prism reports on a police surveillance platform owned by Axon that is rapidly expanding, even as local resistance to Flock sweeps the nation:

Putin is meddling in the midterms to help Trump by once again mounting a covert disinformation operation that’s spreading phony sex abuse allegations about a Democrat. Ought to be big news.

So @lilianasegura.bsky.social and I just co-wrote a piece about the bodycam footage in the Kohan Wiley case. theintercept.com/2026/10/23/k...

We published this story late Friday afternoon amid an avalanche of news so I’m reposting it now because Kohen Wiley’s life mattered more than a box of diapers.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Abdul punches back and doesn't take shit. He isn't a weak centrist nothing. People want fighters.

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

A Florida family says police escorted them from a youth soccer field after parents complained that their 3-year-old son, Nevada, was dominating games against older children. His parents say he scored multiple goals despite being repeatedly substituted.

HEY BUTKER MAYBE YOU SHOULD GET IN THE KITCHEN AND GET SOME SQUATS IN

WOOOHOOOO!! Serbia, now Brazil. Next? USA and Israel!

Zuckerberg defeated in Brazil election.

“.. a stunning comeback, sealed late as voters in Lula’s northeastern stronghold rallied behind one of Latin America’s most prominent opponents of Trumpism.” @bloomberg.com 🇧🇷 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

Lula has flipped the state of Amapa, which he lost to Jair Bolsonaro in the 2022 runoff by 3 percentage points. He will win it today; he is ahead by 6 percentage points with 99% of precincts reporting. He'd finished ahead by a hair in the first round, 45.7% to 45.7%.

Trump is smearing Ilhan Omar in speeches all over the country now because he is an Islamophobic bigot and he thinks that’s a winning message for Republicans

📢 Let the world see what's happening in Puerto Rico!

This has all become so normalised and yet... this is not normal.

Inject this into my veins. Go vote. Bring friends. The GOP is terrified, and they should be.

We are being prevented from voting, airlines are canceling flights, police are stopping people without reason, and mayors are preventing buses from circulating.

Muslims didn’t storm the Capitol on January 6, try to steal an election, or overthrow our government. White Christian nationalists, racist militia groups, and rabid Trump supporters did. We need to stop pretending the biggest terrorist threat to this country is coming from somewhere else.

The documentary has been pulled from theaters, said to be “a flop”. To be aired via streaming (HBO), in December or January. Feels more like it’s due to his unpopularity & the Midterms? #Pinks #DemVoice1 entertainment/56383/critical-musk-documentary-pulled-from-theatres-after-just-two-weeks

It’s never been more clear that racism is a scam perpetrated by wealthy elites to convince working people to blame someone other than the wealthy elite.

He should go all in on this closing message I think it’s working

standing ovation for Peggy Flanagan when she endorses "ripping ICE apart"

Trump must be punished for his consistent pattern of lying about elections. The impunity has to end. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/u...

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving his construction crew to work when an ICE officer shot and killed him in Houston. He wasn’t even the person ICE was looking for. Now Texas voters are leaving their “I Voted” stickers at his memorial. #BlueWaveIn10Days

Putting up signs and notes at an ICE facility in Tacoma, Washington. More chaotic good please… Thanks

Barack Obama: When you've been campaigning as long as I have, you can tell when an election comes along that just feels a little bit different. After 2 years of chaos, cruelty, corruption, and incompetence, the likes of which we have not seen in modern times, you get a chance to say enough is enough
