Wow! I thought Brazil was going to backtrack. Great results, now Lula needs to learn that centrism isn't an effective long term strategy.

“Toxic Empathy” author Allie Beth Stuckey is now asking for folks to understand that ICE has separated a good man from his family over a paperwork issue.

I'm blocking @mary1kathy.bsky.social and adding the account to my blocklists. Life is too short and the times are too serious to fuck around with disinformation and "A.i." bullshit. For accountability, here's the screenshot of the video they posted.

on some level, this is just a form of anti-politics.

A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"

There is no bottom for the Republican Party. It is a force for evil I’ve watched for my entire adult life (I’m almost 49). This is why I can’t stand calls for bipartisanship or demonstrations of the old boys and girls club. They’re fucking monsters who ruin the very fabric of society.

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.

Weird Story real quick… A year ago my friend Bria and I released a cute little app that installs an easily distractible bean on your phone. If you use your phone less the bean can knit more and then you can trade in the stuff they knit for decor for their house. SINCE THEN............

I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.

Even if you're not an old-timer who was around for this era of computing, you may well enjoy seeing what was involved in getting a _program_ running in that era — or checking out the fully-working version of the game that is embedded in this piece. (There is, of course, a little Prince detour, too.)

Billionaires throw a fit at the idea of an annual wealth tax... but literally everyone else already pays one via property taxes (either directly as a homeowner or secondarily as a renter). The only reason securities aren't taxed the same is because that's where the rich keep most of their wealth.

“The borrowing let Ellison keep his stock and avoid locking in taxable gains, and highlighted how billionaires often employ a strategy called ‘buy, borrow and die’ to retain their wealth without selling assets.”

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

Over on Xitter, btw, the same DOJ that searched Ilhan Omar's house 21 days before an election is WAILING that @propublica.org published a story about a Black Democrat and a dead guy 14 days before an election.

NEW: Lindsay Graham and Jim Clyburn were under FBI investigation for bribery. Then Trump dismantled the DOJ & FBI public corruption units. The investigation died. We unearthed it: www.propublica.org/article/nava...

One way to describe the failure of the press in our moment is their completely inability to engage in second order thinking. If you have enough status, you can tell the press anything and they will just dutifully repeat it. It doesn't matter if the last 100 things you have said have all been lies.

Nearly 800,000 people took to the streets in over 140 cities across France on Saturday. The protests were made up of high school and university students demanding better education conditions, as well as labor unions, who mobilized workers in protest of public service cuts.

The Palestinians routinely victimized by settlers should be no less important but it’s hard to miss here that the photojournalist a bunch of them savagely beat is named Heidi Levine — almost certainly an American Jew. The story says she’s a 64 years old woman Staggering levels of impunity

El-Sayed: JD Vance called me a little weasel today. No, what you’re talking about is a fucking wolverine.

Long thread about court packing. I kinda think anything less than overturning citizens united, reinstating civil/voting/abortion rights, or any hint that oligarchs have more power than people, doesn't go far enough for me, and will just perpetuate the problems.

These are good questions. So I'm going to spend a little time giving my answers to them. Will build it as a full thread that posts all at once, rather than post by post.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

You can't trip Mamdani and El-Sayed up with a trick question because they know who they are and what they believe and they speak from the heart. A very simple thing that most politicians can't actually do. We need more of this.

When we first reported this, Meta gave us a GLOMAR response. Now it says: “Unlike traditional data centers, AI-optimized data centers are inherently new and require extensive testing and experimentation that cannot be simulated in order to get the design and build right.”

Democratic senators on the Finance Committee sent Meta a letter today about using the research tax credit for A.I. data center expenses calling it a “violation of the spirit and, potentially, the letter of the tax law." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/14/t...

Gavin Newsom: -Pushed state AGs to accept a weak Paramount merger settlement -Opposes Prop 40, despite 65% support from California Democrats -Supports Prop 42, which cancels out Prop 40 and makes it impossible to pass future wealth taxes Is he really that desperate for billionaire campaign cash?

"Shane Gillis was just telling JOKES." Yep, he was. That was what he finds funny, and now we understand him (and those who laugh) to be the sort of person who finds that sort of thing funny. What's being objected to isn't that he's being misunderstood; it's that he's being understood very well.
