Online gambling gonna be the opioids of the 2020's

Is election night a sporting event? /s sccgmanagement.com/sccg-article...

Definitely ban prediction markets and most crypto.

Abortion is illegal in multiple states because every republican appointed justice lied about how they would vote.

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

That’s one way for Catholic bishops and archbishops to dispel the pedophile accusations: pray with a pedo. 😳

Yoo hoo! Note that this is not just about a public golf course or a piece of property; it's about making available to regular people a game that in many industries is a part of doing business. DC's public golf courses meant anybody—even Black people, Heaven forbid—could play the game of elites.

BREAKING: Preliminary injunction granted in the golf course case by Judge Reyes! The threat to close & destroy this historic property is the latest act of Trump corruption that the courts have responded to Kudos to our wonderful clients & cocounsel @democracyforward.org & Lowell & Associates

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

"Whatever dark power Trump has that has enabled him to become president twice while being quite literally one of the most morally despicable human beings on Earth, it’s not easily duplicated by your average Republican candidate for Senate, House, or governor." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Trump is aiding and abetting

"An army to counteract the forces that artificially amplify far-right messaging, both on the streets and online."

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

If you cross a nervous Rodney Dangerfield with a cornered Hermann Göring, you get a Jeff Bezos.

Leaders of the No Kings movement are already gearing up for the next major grassroots campaign: Making sure congressional Democrats don’t wimp out. My first piece at @newrepublic.com! (Reposted to update link card) newrepublic.com/article/2168...

You don’t get to be an archbishop by being naive and simple. They went to get goodies. They went to get school vouchers. They went to change abortion law. The Trump administration used them right back. They got caught, and now they pretend they weren’t political. #TaxTheChurches

This week’s main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you “a very young boy.”

HEADS-UP, IRELAND. Another ICE flight headed your way. Based on info from human source, I expect this ICE flight — and/or another one tomorrow — to be unlawfully refouling Ukrainians through Poland.

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

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

Nobody's shocked that Jason Miller is the one posting Bolsonaro's refusal to concede. Trumpworld isn't just watching Brazil, they're coordinating. Same playbook, same people, different country. The authoritarian network is global, and it's poison.

El-Sayed: This is like the 3rd campaign stop where Donald Trump can't help but mention somebody's ass. When I get to DC, I'm just gonna make sure that I never let him see mine…

"Vote for Alex, vote for a step closer to justice for my family, vote for ALL of the victims of ICE, vote for your community and your neighbors. Alex stood up for his community so now it is time we stand up and fight back."

So Trump’s closing argument is that high gas prices are good because his donors who run oil companies are making bank, Jon Husted has a nice ass but not quite as good as Nicki Minaj’s ass, after 7 months the Reflecting Pool is almost done, and we get a ballroom, arch and helipad.

Lula won in part by banning online gambling

I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.

Oh so a country *can* choose not to make the same mistake twice

Congratulations Brazil, you didn’t Trump yourselves. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/10...

Today was the best day for global democracy in quite a while.

Brazil rejected Bolsonaro. Serbia's students beat Vučić. Machado is home in Venezuela. What a day for democracy.

let's fucking go

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

What a surprise.

Lula is to my left. Magyar is to my right. And I don’t care in the slightest, because they are the candidates of democracy against autocracy.

Another stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian students voted out their authoritarian leadership after months of protests against corruption, taking their fight from the streets to the ballot box and turning people power into political power.

Vivek is so unwanted that his own campaign stops are ghosting him. Zeteo reports: Businesses are canceling campaign stops to avoid angry calls, bad publicity & customer backlash. A planned church visit in Westerville and a Trumbull County rally location have disappeared from campaign itineraries.

no amnesty

Congratulations to Brazil. The cool cats won!

Lula defeats Musk, Zuckerberg and Bolsanaro!

Same players, same playbook. We're up next.

A carefully planned Russian propaganda operation is underway. Having starved people in Oleshky for months, Russia, with the 'intervention' of Melania, will allow people to leave and pretend Ukraine was at fault. Read @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social www.kyivpost.com/analysis/88041

It is rare that I have no complaints about NYT political reporting. Really good piece: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/us/politics/trumps-election-alaska.html?unlocked_article_code=1.LlE.NNZW.ODe4eC2i57Ui&smid=url-share

The point is they WANT everyone's citizenship questionable, it's a feature of Fascism.
