In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Trump is straight up saying during speeches that he wants white people coming to the country but not black. I don’t know what else people need to see.

Thou shalt arrest Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. Can I get an amen?

Charity? That gives them power. They decide who and what is deserving. No. NO. We decide. Tax them. Break them up.

From Carnegie to Claude: AI wealth could reshape philanthropy. Anthropic says it will commit 5% of its shares to a new Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, a stake that could be worth around $100 billion if the company reaches the $2 trillion valuation expected at its stock market debut u.afp.com/SyJB

As turnout in Texas nears 3 million votes, Hispanic turnout is now exceeding presidential levels. More Hispanics have voted than did at this point in the 2024 presidential election. What's driving this huge increase? Young voters.

Je cherche des témoignages de personnes qui ont été insultées ou agressées par des militants d’extrême droite pendant la manifestation du 24 octobre. Partages appréciés, merci !

And the spineless Democrats too. And Schumer and Jeffries who can fight —but not for us.

Bernie Sanders: "If you believe as I do that Donald Trump is the most dangerous president in the history of the United States, we need to get rid of that rubber stamp Republican leadership in the House and Senate."

Our nation is in grave danger. But across America I’m seeing stirrings of a giant backlash. People rising up and hitting the streets. People getting out the vote. Our fight — for democracy, the rule of law, social and economic justice, and decency — is gaining ground. I believe we will win.

Trump’s illegal Iran war is turning into our next forever war. 8 months in, Trump & Republicans have deluded themselves into thinking the next strike or another bombing campaign will finally bring victory. From Vietnam to Iraq, we know how this ends. This war must end NOW.

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...

Haaretz reports Hegseth went to Israel, met with Netanyahu, and now we’re gonna strike Iran again... (Right before elections in both countries)🤔 How long are Republicans going to run cover for this destructive, deadly nonsense that is costing us all so much? @MarshaBlackburn

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

The health of 342 million Americans shouldn’t depend on one person’s beliefs. I’m an NIH scientist, clinician, and autism specialist. RFK is dismantling NIH. If he wanted to build trust, he’d reimburse clinicians for time to answer patients’ questions, not create a CPT code for vaccine injury.

This week, NIH advisors rebuked RFK for harming #NIH and US science. Sheryl Gay Stolberg reported it. Then RFK posted calling her sources anonymous or corrupt. I'll say this hoping it does good: I'm an NIH scientist, I'm not anonymous, and RFK Jr is destroying NIH. More in attachment:

We need both of you to repair our country

Fired up to serve alongside fighters like @chrisrabb.com who understand that we don't wait around for things to happen to us. We make things happen. Organized people beat organized money every time. Grateful to have Rep. Rabb back on the ground in Michigan to help get out the vote!

Remember: If your vote didn't matter, billionaires wouldn't be spending their fortunes trying to buy our elections. Stay calm, support good candidates, do whatever you can to get out the vote, and vote as soon as you can. Don't let Big Money win.
