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...

Elon Musk uses ties with other tech bro media monopolists and raw cash payments to successfully suppress distribution of Alex Gibney's explosive documentary "Musk." After TikTok Suspended Its Account for Two Days, the Elon Musk Documentary is Almost Gone From Theaters, and Musk

Nazi ICE agents are now terrorizing Brown people in Puerto Rico, demanding IDs from people who are Americans by birth. 🚨 Watch and Repost to everyone! bsky.app/profile/resi...

Trump said: “When I’m gone, you’re all going to be broke.” Truer words have never been spoken. He has plundered, robbed and bilked the whole country for himself and his family. That’s what disgorgement is all about. Disgorgement—please practice this very fine word.

“Most of my true heroes in this life have been women. In my experience, they have borne most of the brunt of an often broken society, but somehow managed to move it forward anyway. Progress often walks hand-in-hand with the persecuted. Misogyny and mediocrity are no match for our mothers.” noelcasle

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.

Brazilians beat back fascism by... voting harder? Organized offline and online around an election, using a mix of strategies aimed at both turnout and persuasion. Showed up in large numbers, and despite some very wealthy interests arrayed against them, succeeded? Huh. Pretty neat how that works.

“I know how hard it is to get by and how important it is that we protect our children and honor our seniors. I refuse to stand idly by while billionaires leave working families like ours in the lurch.” Christine Hines #ResistanceUnited #ONEV1

Genuinely I don't know that it comes across to people who haven't been here to watch how almost unbelievable this was, just people taking something that looked impossible and dragging it kicking and screaming all the way to inevitability.

Everyone who is saying "Dems in red states have to throw trans people under the bus to win" -- no. They don't. When they do that, we just start with no winning options on the table. It gives in to the fascist premise that we get to decide some groups don't get rights. THIS is what I want to see.

Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever

Yeah, this man should not be allowed to practice law, and any failure to take away his ability to practice law after all of this would be a part of the end of the rule of law in America.

Google was really trying to hide its water use figures, to the degree that it got the council to try to keep its water use figures secret. The community finally got the actual numbers and found out Google was using 29 percent of the water in the community. www.wired.com/story/what-t...

I had to come back to this. This man turned 10% of his own community over to ICE for around 20 thousand extra dollars and a dodge charger for work. He feels badly about it though😒

I agree! Musk needs to be investigated if the midterms go our way. Musk is a menace to the world, all rolled up in misinformation and conspiracy theories. I wish Musk wasn't connected to our government in any way.

Elizabeth Warren Is On A Roll.......

Hey Alaska, how does it feel to learn that Russia is going to be drilling for oil in your state in a $25 billion shady deal that appears to connect back to the Trumps? united24media.com/world/sancti...

Russia secretly financed Alaska gas project PolarTrainLNG is developing a gas export terminal in #Alaska. The project was launched in March with a plan to use a partially constructed Novatek terminal (Novatek is a CO w/shares traded on the #Moscow stock exchange) www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/202...

ah, so that's why Trump is getting bent out of shape about the Alaska Senate race:

The pro-russian German neo-Nazi party has been hacked by a Ukrainian living in America. It does not really come as a surprise that the email correspondence clearly shows that AfD members have apparently been paid by the russians. (source: Die Zeit, and mdEP Erik Marquardt)

Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!

On the same week the DCCC released its first anti-transgender ad, popular Democratic politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did not mince words. When asked about anti-trans Democrats, she called them "shameful," "wrong," and decried them for "scaring so easily." Subscribe to support our journalism.

Again: Why does Musk have operational control over any *military grade* version of anything. That’s not how DOD contracts work.

HEY FLORIDA, Are you paying ATTENTION, yet?! 👇 Better start, huh?! 😎✨

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

Elon Musk is too big to trust. A THREAD.

It is unbelievable that the US actually doesn't have a single diplomat left. Only businessmen looking for more money to enrich themselves.

Deplorable.

It looks like it may be worse than just betrayal; it looks like betrayal plus crooked side deals for Trump and cronies.

Without a hint of exaggeration, this is where we are now. Joelle was murdered for being trans by the National Health Service www.translegalclinic.com/justice-for-...
