Every clip I see about Bauza is so heartbreaking, he seems like such an amazing dude. Also, we gotta bring back using voice actors for animated shows and not just celebrities looking for an easy buck.

I think the lesson from Lula is not never talk about the opposition; it's articulate a positive vision that's basically, We Can Just Do Things. That's why Mamdani-ism is so popular - voters have an intrinsic sense that their electeds have agency they're not using

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

Detroit's proposed $251 million spending plan includes $8.7 million to restore school libraries www.chalkbeat.org/detroit/2026...

Just like the Founders intended. Public funding of elections would eliminate this problem. As well as prevent billionaires and trillionaires from simply buying the government for tiny fractions of their net worth.

Voters are receiving so many political texts, calls and mailers that some are reconsidering ever donating to a campaign again “I must get at least 10-20 texts A DAY from literally every single candidate in the country," a Colorado voter said. "It makes me never want to make a contribution again"

In a world where you can be anything, be a person who votes in midterm elections! 💚🙏✊

Please note: I am not asking for advice and don't want you to give it in this post. It is EXTREMELY FUCKED that everything you pay thousands of dollars for spends time trying to get you to upgrade and there is no way to stop it.

This is a chilling hate rally. And, just in case you think this doesn't matter to you, the President of the United States is also mocking the idea of Constitutional liberties.

For those of you who don't know about him: Meet James Dolan, the Vivek Ramaswamy of NYC sports and real estate.

Here's my #KTLA report on how Mark Zuckerberg muscled the Meta board into covering his tax hit if California passes a one-time billionaire tax www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyOh...

On November 3rd, 36 states will elect their next governor. The outcome of these races will make a real difference in the lives of millions of people — but only if you vote. So join me in electing @demgovs.org: democraticgovernors.org

Hit me with your best. Because of the Thursday night game, it’ll be a weekend mailbag. Let’s get to it.

States run elections. It's in the Constitution. As a taxpayer, I'm furious our tax dollars (DOJ attorney hours) are being spent to tamper with free and fair elections.

Reminder! next week: "Publishing Trends, Market Shifts, and Opportunities" online workshop via Boyds Mills. In it, I cover not just trends in the children's and YA market, but other kinds of change in publishing, and how to research, understand, and respond to them. boydsmills.org/workshop/pub...

In 19 lawsuits against states that have refused to turn over voter rolls, the DOJ has cited the Civil Rights Act of 1960. Judges marveled at the audacity of the administration to use a law passed to fight discrimination to keep people from voting.

It's bleak that Serious News Outlets will tie themselves into knots writing headlines that obscure the horrors of a story while @people.com just waltzes in and calls it like it is.

“Catapult management could not be reached for comment, it remains unclear what will happen to the 16 frontlist titles across Catapult’s four imprints that are slated for spring 2027.” Shocked to learn that bored billionaires don’t answer the phone. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

i think it would be great with the holiday season right around the corner if we skipped the "how to avoid talking about politics with your kooky uncle" articles and got a bunch of more useful "how to talk to older family members about setting a family codeword in case of phishing attempts" articles

Not for nothing but PBS does election night coverage and we work really really really hard on it. Union shop as well!

What the hell?!

New: We found cops who kept using Flock to spy on women after they left the force. One used it for five years after retirement, tracking his wife during a custody battle. Another ran searches while he was suspended (and later fired) after killing a 15-year-old boy. Free to read: wapo.st/3UEwWU7

“Raises questions”?? In this Kavanaugh Stop, ICE agents swerve to hit a US citizen, knock him off his bike breaking his arm, tase him, cuff him as he screams in pain, blame him, lie about everything, threaten to charge him for damage to their SUV. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

I would like to once again cordially tap the sign: please support billionaire free, worker-led and/or independent news how and when you can. Marisa's work here is the kind of reporting we want on the regular, about everything of public concern

Exactly 10 years ago today: Hillary Clinton said Vladimir Putin would rather have "a puppet as president of the United States.” She absolutely nailed it. 🔨

This is for the kid who saw Stranger Things from behind the couch when their older brother was watching it and feels like, "I can take it, man." We discuss Arnold Lobel's spookiest story on the @fuse8nkate.bsky.social podcast. #kidlit 📚👍 afuse8production.slj.com/2026/10/19/f...

Chinese restaurants in New England in the U.S. often call dumplings Peking Ravioli - thanks to public TV cooking pioneer Joyce Chen, who knew her Italian-American audience:

Despite assurances from the Trump administration, ProPublica found the government has turned its vast security and surveillance apparatus against the Tohono O’odham Nation. “The drones flying over us all day,” one tribal member said, “it’s a lot.”

October is when we watch our movies about witches and shit and it's Angela Lansbury's birthday, and fascists still suck, so I think you know what that means... #BedknobsAndBroomsticks

“Videos of the attack, verified by The Times, show that the photographer, Heidi Levine, 63, who was wearing body armor with large press tags, was trapped behind the settlers. They began to beat her with bats and sticks, kicking her as she was prostrate on the ground” www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/w...

What’s the matter with this guy?

Your occasional reminder that polls don't mean shit, you have to show up and vote, preferably early and in person if you can

JD Vance makes a homophobic attack and the @nytimes.com is too afraid to report the truth

It's not "strikingly juvenile" and it's not a "personal broadside." It's hate speech. The Vice President is trying to get people to vote against a Democrat by implying that he's gay and/or a pedophile and/or a fetishist. Take it seriously. It is on a par with every other kind of hate speech.

Hey Thursday 😉

I’ve been to that shop. I know one of the owners. He’s amazing. (Adam Rubin, author of “Dragons Love Tacos” and many others). It’s a fabulous place with marvels on sale and Adam specially said the clockwork bird was not for sale when he demonstrated it. I don’t know Kelly Clarkson at all.

That’s a proper WFAN call in rant right there, he was just missing “I’ll take my answer offline”
