Tax evaders and gerrymanderers are civilization's enemies
When was the last time you posted about the #epsteinfiles ?
2026 is my Stoic year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeno_of_Citium
People hate that stupid ballroom. I keep on encouraging Congress to sue as a representative body to tear it down. Sometimes, you take the easy win, Dems.
A protester yelled "Shove that ballroom up your fat ass" to Trump at his rally in Mississippi on Monday night. This clip contains two versions of the moment. The first is how it aired on a livestream. In the second I increased the audio for that moment.
"Guys like Obama don't see it. They don't see dirt, they don't see filth. He doesn't see broken ornaments...The White House, President Obama is a symbol of America. It has to be clean."
Feels like the focus on hygiene and cleanliness might be standing in for something here!
Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"
“AI’s answer helped me create the rule that if an item was useful but didn’t need to be accessed regularly, the closet was probably a good home for it.” oh my god
If Lombardo goes down hard that will go a long way to discourage Republicans from sticking their necks out for Trump over the next two years. It's not enough to beat the hardcore Trumpers, we have to make the likable "moderates" pay too
From the outside, a lot of DSA internal politics these days looks like a clash between people who are becoming increasingly successful at democratic politics and people who want to act like authoritarians despite having no actual authority
The other resolution (which passed 15-12) calls on Raman to meet with DSA-LA leaders by Nov. 30.
If she doesn't affirm her support for BDS and sign on to DSA's campaign to stop Israeli weapons transfers at LAX by Jan. 1, the NPC could vote to expel her. docs.google.com/document/d/1...
I get they're inextricably intertwined but I kind of feel like leaning so much into how he was the longtime best buddy of the world's most notorious sex criminal has given it something of the feel of a political gotcha rather than the important part, which is that the president raped people.
I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.
I dont know if it's because they love republicans and want them to win but holy crap is this an embarrassment. the equivalent of reckless disregard in terms of journalism fuck ups. Just the simplest damn googling.
Are white Evangelicals slowly turning on Trump? War on Iran and the Epstein files seem finally to be taking a toll on his ultimate MAGA redoubt. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/...
We have 19 days left.
Last night I got to make my pitch for why I want to be the next state senator for NC District 25.
Early voting started today.
I’m doing this, because I believe in us.

I do think when historians look back the period the exact moment where it flipped and started going the other way won’t be anything any politician did but my Minneapolis neighbors weathering the worst of the regime in the streets, rallying together, fighting back, and winning
A large nighttime march is moving through Tbilisi, Georgian flags raised above the crowd. Protesters carry a wide banner in Georgian at the front, with blue-and-yellow flags visible farther back. The protests against Georgia’s Russia-friendly government are growing again.
Hungarian PM Péter Magyar:
"I have just spoken by phone with the leaders of the Students List, who won the elections in Serbia, to congratulate them... I assured them of Hungary’s support. I was delighted to hear how much strength our victory in April had given them during this difficult struggle."
Hungary, great. Serbia, great. Brazil, great. But also Alberta secessionists getting absolutely kerbstomped to the point that Danielle Smith told them “new phone who dis” was also great.
between serbia, brazil, and hopefully november 3, a good reminder: voting works
it’s not the end, there’s always work to be done after the vote, but if you want to beat the motherfuckers and keep them out of power: vote your asses off
Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who spared a thought for my country today, who amplified information about the coup d’état attempt, and worried about Brazil’s democratic future—the world’s democratic future. We won! Women won! The Amazon won! Young people won! Democracy won! Hope won!
The people in the frame standing around him look nervous, as they should be. We should aim to make those standing around Trump just as nervous should he try again.
Flávio Bolsonaro: "It is impossible to recognize the (Brazil) election results in the context of how these things happened. We are going to use our legal team, we are going to request the annulment of these elections."
intelligence is knowing that if i ever looked up anything about Magyar, Lula, or any of the other election winners i would probably not be great fans of their politics
wisdom is knowing it doesn't matter because defeating the global chud coalition is all that matters for the foreseeable future
The affordability crisis in the Bush has become unbearable. Too many Alaskans can no longer afford to live in the villages they call home.
I’m fighting to lower costs, and I’m grateful to have rural leaders like former Hooper Bay Mayor Charlene Nukusuk-Long in this with me.
Slow gains in that direction matter because they force Russia to choose between holding Hulyaipole and plugging Oleksandrivka. Every reserve pulled there is one not sent to Pokrovsk. Whether it holds depends on Ukraine keeping drone and artillery pressure on the supply roads behind it.
NEW: Ukrainian forces are making slow but tactically significant gains in the Oleksandrivka direction that may later threaten Russian logistics and efforts in the Oleksandrivka and Hulyaipole directions over the long term.
