Since I have a number of new followers asking about what I did over on Twitter, here’s an outside link to my claim to (relative) fame, with 8.7 million views: threadreaderapp.com/thread/18229...

That's HELLA racist and also completely incorrect.

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.”

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

I hope Natalie shows Trump this clip of Harry Enten comparing Obama's popularity with his unpopularity

David Jolly: "The problem in this environment is not that I used to be a Republican. It's that Byron Donalds still is one."

There's nuance here about "how do we use platforms owned by the fascists". You *have to understand the political purpose of the platforms* in order to use them to subvert authoritarians. For the most part, Americans simply do not. Centrists (including DNC consultants) do not. Major media does not.

They literally note internal and external warnings of "existential risks to humanity."

“My Catholic Latina opponent wants to impose Sharia Law” is a hilariously desperate closing message. thehill.com/homenews/617...

El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."

the biggest presidential scandal in history but the political media largely acts as if it's not happening. hasan piker has received more mainstream political media coverage over the last 6 months than trump's connections with epstein has

Mike Rogers doesn't know what he's for. Oh wait...it's himself.

This isn't hyperbole or a joke. Parents actually called the cops and got the black boy and his family removed and the league claimed they were trespassing because he was "putting on a show" and wasn't playing "fair."

Watch this with Trump at his side, remember the dissents in the birthright citizenship case — www.lawdork.com/p/six-opinio... — and understand there are no limits, no places they wouldn’t go.

Lula wins fourth term as Brazil president after historic upset over far-right Flávio Bolsonaro

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

genuinely embarrassing that TNR would publish this NIMBY propaganda full of factual errors

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

I can save you some time. He doesn't name ONE SINGLE ISSUE. When asked to name what people are concerned about, he's got NOTHING. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

imagine if a democratic candidate anywhere said something like this about a jewish candidate, would be a ten-alarm fire in every media outlet for days. but the literal president promoting this sort of insane bigotry against a muslim won't even merit a story

The most maddening part of this -- which is saying something -- is that the cop who has torn his town into shreds thinks the remaining residents are cool with him because they smile at him when he walks by. Mind-numbing levels of cope. www.propublica.org/article/depo...

Early this year, I visited Ingram, a TX town of ~1,900, to check out a tip. The area was starting to recover from its worst flood in a century. But as Latino workers drove to jobsites to help rebuild, the tipster said, a cop in a black Dodge Charger kept stopping them ... 🧵

I'm sorry but banning non-English speakers because machine translation is unclean is more fascist than anything in the AI space except maybe Palantir's XAI enterprise account

Trump said he had to takeover Greenland to keep China and Russia out. And then he snuck Russia onto the North Slope. Literally just ... inviting them in. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

Grok fact-checks its master 👇🏽 👀

He will 100% do this about 2-3 days before the end of his presidency. Guaranteed.

One thing I've been trying to do is to RT Colin McDonald's weekly "here are all the low-level frauds by brown people we magnified this week" by listing Trump's frauds. It's HARD!!! For example I missed Lindsey's bribery. And a Ken Paxton fraud. Gonna have to start crowd-sourcing this...

It sure is. www.readtangle.com/the-corrupti...

Cuba mocks US 'desperation' calling on Cubans to work with CIA

Corey Lewandowski is under investigating for not giving Trump a taste

It sounds like hyperbole to suggest the current administration WANTS measles to become common again but I can’t think of much they’d be doing differently if they didn’t want that. (I think some of them really are eugenicists who legit prefer disease spread to prevention; others just don’t care)

The time to determine whether Dan J. Sullivan Jr. could appear on the Alaska ballot for U.S. Senate was months ago, and Alaska courts did so. What's additionally batshit about this is that the candidates' names are printed on the ballot in a way which makes abundantly clear who's who.

Ossoff: "Mike Collins should explain his votes for the war, tariffs, and healthcare cuts, and he should come out and explain this morning's CNN report. If Mike Collins does not come out today and respond to this CNN reporting, then he is a coward." Here's the report: www.cnn.com/2026/10/23/p...

El-Sayed: "We had a little debate. Or I had a debate and he just pointed at me and said, 'He's Muslim.'"

INTERESTING: Trump's US Attorney in Houston notes he's collaborating with Texas AG Ken Paxton on election law enforcement in the election in which Ken Paxton is running for US Senate.

HOLY SHIT. In a sworn statement yesterday, an ICE agent told a federal judge that an ICE flight to Equatorial Guinea had been cancelled and so couldn't be used to bring Ahmed Soliman back to the United States. The plane just landed in Equatorial Guinea. prospect.org/2026/10/23/t...

Jan 2025: Trump shutters SDNY Epstein Probe Mar: 1000+ FBI agents are trained to mark Trump’s name for supervisory review May: Bondi tells Donald he’s in the files June: White House, DoJ, FBI conspire to create “case closed” memo July: Memo released Aug: Maxwell moved/sex offender status waived

The BBC is doing something important, refusing to be intimidated by a powerful person trying to use the legal system to punish criticism and discourage scrutiny. They’re schooling the American press on what the 1st Amendment means. Read about it here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-bbc-st...

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.

“Departures from these practices should never be countenanced because they risk allowing prosecutors to impact national elections.” -Todd Blanche on DOJ’s 60-day rule, September 2024

This is a hilarious and deeply weird thing to say. If you want to get to heaven, come prepared to justify your life's work to George Clymer and Gouverneur Morris! Will TJ consult with Sally Hemings when deciding if I've sufficiently sacrificed for America?

the brunchlord press is "incapable" of pointing out that a sizeable chunk of these efforts are about naked information warfare

Our investigation into allegations of data fabrication at the firm SoCal Strategies, and an alleged association with the admittedly fraudulent firm Wedgewood Polls, has resulted in the pollster wiping itself from the face of the earth. Full story at 50+1: blog.fiftyplusone.news/p/more-polls...
