there are people serving life sentences right now on thinner evidence than we have for "donald trump was jeffrey epstein's partner in serial rape" democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

it would also be nice if the next Democratic administration made it clear they were at least open to (or ideally, simply going to approve) extradition requests for attempting to overthrow foreign democracies

i know it's the age of immediacy and frictionless and what-have-you but *everything* takes longer to complete now than it did even two or three years ago. it's stunning.

One week until Election Day. America deserves better than the pedophile protection party. Knock doors. Make calls. Get your friends to vote. Let’s elect Democrats up and down the ballot and finally make Trump release the Epstein files.

Just following orders.

Seeing how little coverage that house report that added another rape accusation to Trump's tally got today, I looked back on just the front page Benghazi stories (there were many, many more inside over these months).

20 years ago today Amy Winehouse released her massive hit album Back to Black. Here's the Al-Bum Covers version of that LP artwork. Many thanks to the model who chose this record.

Tune in to Native America Calling, we'll be discussing some of the creepiest Native Horror Books of this year! www.nativeamericacalling.com/tuesday-octo...

In 2016, while Pizzagate was taking off, I felt like I was losing my mind because I and EVERYBODY ELSE IN NYC KNEW that Trump and Epstein were best friends and nobody seemed to care. Epstein didn't become a US household word until the Miami Herald piece about his amazing plea deal in 2018.

One of the most important financial stories out there if you want to know how and why the same five evil guys wind up owning everything.

Burlington Ontario candidate hilariously handles her defaced signs 

It's precisely because he didn't show mercy to the Black people of Chicago, that he will never be president.🤷🏿‍♂️ 1. You can't win the US presidency as a Democrat if Black people don't like you. 2. Black people don't like Rahm Emanuel because of what he did after cops killed LaQuan McDonald.

Jeremy Lewin killed hundreds of thousands without a signed employment agreement.

Some Lula supporters apparently shouted his name out their window when it was announced he won and a cop pointed his gun at him and they took what is possibly the greatest image of a cop ever taken, like genuinely this would go hard as a cover for a Rage album its so poetic.

Thursday is a paid holiday. Because Flavor Flav said so.

TriCon Halifax is a place for all kinds of creators collaborate & learn from each other, but we also honour three special guests to punctuate our gathering with their knowledge and experience! This year, we are pleased to re-invite Tor editor, @englelaird.bsky.social to our city!

Watch the NSPC and Everwind lie about fucking over NS for a fuckass datacenter here on this livestream. Load it if even not watching it to push those metrics up. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSDz...

A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

This is fantastic. We need more quality data visualization in the world.

I just arrived at Halifax City Hall and there are 10 cyclists wearing their helmets. It’s silent protest against a report on alternatives to the AAA bike lane network to be presented to council today.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social helped bring historic investment to Minnesota under his leadership at the Department of Transportation. He knows how to get work done to improve the lives of working people, and has never backed down in the face of Donald Trump. I'm honored to have his support.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

I rounded up 13 bone-chilling Indigenous horror reads that’ll crawl under your skin and into your dreams. Stephen Graham Jones is back with Off the Reservation, Never Whistle at Night returns for blood, and writers from Alaska to Aotearoa are bringing the scares. redpopnews.com/13-bone-chil...

it feels truly insane that it’s not

This is what I meant when I said in 2024 that when I looked at the incoming administration, all I could see was rape. It’s the heinous act itself, yes, but also a mentality, as deftly explained here:

And then he stiffed them!

691 words about Cheesecake. 434 words about rape.

I like this season's Document collection. Document is a Korean menswear brand that used to do minimalist-styled clothing that leaned heavily into distinctive silhouettes, although this season feels more heritage-y. In the US, they are carried at No Man Walks Alone and Namu Shop.

I believe we really do just have to start new organizations/institutions/businesses, which sucks because it's exhausting and the money has to come from somewhere. But if only evil people are hiring, that means jobs aren't an option.

Fun fact: KABOOM (the org from Parks and Rec that builds playgrounds) is REAL and we are actually partnering with them this week!!!! Help us build a playground in Evanston this Thursday! KAPOW!! 💥 volunteer.kaboom.org/opportunity/...

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

A part of this not mentioned is that Texas used to let kids transition. I volunteered at a camp for trans kids in Houston when I was in college (pre transition I know I know how did I not know I was trans). Guess where part of that camp was? Texas Children’s. That’s how much we lost

So much to say about Brazil, not least of which is the role that Erika Hilton, a Black trans leader and most voted woman politician in Brazil, played in mobilizing folks for Lula. She was behind the critical, concrete, economic promise of shorter work-week. theprint.in/feature/erik...
