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.

Kavanaugh stops in action: ICE tackled a non-verbal kid near his school, left him with injuries requiring surgery, and then left the scene when they realized he wasn't the person they were looking for www.independent.com/2026/10/23/i...

I hate to fear monger over this. As far as i know our elections are still secure, but if the Trump administration had the ability to hack voting machines, I think we all no they wouldn't hesitate to use it.

Political appointees at the Department of Homeland Security wanted CISA, an agency that protects election systems, to acquire and hack a voting machine, which shocked staffers. “This goes against everything CISA represents,” a former official said.

In a racist rant, the President mocks the idea of people having constitutional rights.

The Trump administration is alienating Europe and aligning itself with Russia.

Wish I hadn't still been a die hard conservative when Obama was running. I missed out on appreciating how good he (and his speech writers) is with words.

Trying to stay positive, but so many of these senate race poll averages are showing a 2% margins or less for dems. In 2024, reps outperformed the polling averages by 1 to 3%. Its very possible that dems fall just a tad short in all of these close races and dont get a senate majority. #election

Trump has given Putin concession after concession: ending aid to Ukraine, keeping Ukraine out of NATO, giving Putin a red carpet summit, dissing Zelenskyy, wavering sanctions, disrupting intelligence sharing with Ukraine. And Putin has never changed his position on continuing the war. Not one inch.

NEW: Ukraine’s ability to use SpaceX’s low-earth orbit satellite communication technology (Starlink and Starshield) to intercept Russian jet-powered drones remains unclear as of October 18. (1/7) Read more: isw.pub/UkrWar101826

The Trump administration is openly on Russia's side now.

"Deaths in ICE custody are now at their highest level in more than two decades. In 2025, at least 32 people died in ICE custody, and 2026 is on pace to surpass that, with more than two dozen deaths by mid-September."

Attorneys for ICE detainees held at El Paso's Camp East Montana say "dangerous and inhumane" conditions have led to deaths, abuse, sickness and trauma. They're submitting dozens of firsthand declarations and asking a court for emergency relief storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

After every mass shooting, conservatives go home and hug their guns close.

With Trump openly admitting his announced Russia-Ukraine “energy ceasefire” was nothing more than words out of his mouth—no actual ceasefire, not even words from Ukraine or Russia that they’re violating, just empty BS—can the press finally stop with headlines presenting his pronouncements as fact?

“Zelenskyy could’ve stopped this war many times, and he chose not to … he better damn well stop” — Trump is no longer trying to conceal that he’s fully on Putin’s side

The Constitution allows it. South Korea has proven it works. If you want to make impeachment viable—and so much else is pointless if you don't—then it can be done by a simple majority adopting a simple rules change: vote on the verdict by secret ballot.

EPA is bending over backwards to the very industry they’re supposed to regulate by outsourcing its decisions for how to address chemical pollution to the polluters themselves. EPA’s approach to governance shouldn’t let industry grade themselves.

Crazy, gas jumped 25 cents today at my local stations (Idaho). Anyone seeing similar increases?

SHOT BY ICE. THEN TAKEN INTO ICE CUSTODY. WHO HOLDS THE GUNMEN ACCOUNTABLE? An ICE officer shot 28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez in Austin. He survived, only to be transferred into ICE custody without his family or lawyer being notified, according to his attorney. 1/5

The Trump administration's lawless killing spree at sea continues with a lethal strike on four more supposed "narco-terrorists" in the Caribbean. Very real killing in a make-believe war. Outside of war the general term for premeditated killing is murder.

CNN reporter denied access to White House and press pass seized as Trump appears to implement ban against the network. https://cnn.it/4ixu6tH

Symbols matter. White House isn't a palace. Kennedy Center is for the general public to enjoy. We don't have a triumphal arch in DC because that's imperial. We don't put the president's face on money because it's monarchical. It's about tearing down everything that says we're a democratic republic.

This is how you literally tear apart the Union. This is far bigger than just R v D. This is national unity at stake.

Chevron is the first to jump on the steel Venezuela's oil bandwagon. Boycott them (also includes Texaco and Caltex). www.nbcnews.com/world/venezu...

There aren't any billionaire health insurance ceos. But there are plenty of billionaire healthcare provider ceos. You have to understand the issue before you can fix the problem. El-Sayed should not be so careless with facts. www.advisory.com/daily-briefi...

If and when we make it through this we need a constitutional convention, because the fact that this insane person hasn’t been impeached and removed 47 times over — and indeed that no one ever has in 238 years — proves the mechanism DOES NOT WORK.

💥 ICE drag mom & teen daughter out of hospital room—in middle of being treated after car accident. Still wearing hospital gowns. Both victims of car collusion, with asylum case pending in good standing & valid work permit. Grace Calero 39, & Giulianna Carriel 19, from Ecuador.

This is a very disturbing story I realize that deployment is often no picnic, but we owe our servicemembers the very best we can give them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I fail to see how these gloves have any practical use. Turning them off and on while physically tackling someone would be too difficult. And there is a 100% chance that some/many agents will use these to torture people.

Sitting US Congressman encoures his constituents to commit murder.

The US military’s strikes on alleged drug boats have likely illegally killed “individuals who are not involved in narcotrafficking,” Sen. Tim Kaine told the White House, following “a careful review” of classified information he has seen so far.

WHOA DHS does not say that the agent feared for his life… just the vague concern for “public safety.” So he killed him just because he did not want him in America, not because of any specific threat to agents?

MS NOW: Two Atlanta-based FBI intelligence analysts were fired last week after refusing to participate in the Trump admin's investigation of Georgia's 2020 election. The analysts told colleagues they did not believe the investigation was justified under FBI and DOJ policies.

This is actual weaponization of the Justice Dep't - against completely innocent Americans.
