Damn good question.

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

Yep and if you know anything about Ramaswamy, his use of this should not surprise you. He's a friend of JD Vance, and is a birthright citizen who is against birthright citizenship, anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ+, practices Hinduism but aligns with evangelicals. A walking conundrum of hate.

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

ms.nowHouse Judiciary Democrats release 50-page report on Trump’s alleged involvement in Epstein filesThe report β€” issued just eight days before the election β€” makes multiple, uncorroborated allegations against the president while also detailing discrepancies in his statements about Epstein.

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

Two former Governors of South Carolina - one from each party - have endorsed Democrat Annie Andrews who is running against Sen. Darline Graham R-SC

Brown and RISD students have taken the streets, joined by Providence community members, to demand justice for Nolan Wells and Kohen Wiley! Nolan Wells didn't drown, police executing 1 year old Kohen could never possibly be justified, and we are fed up with the racist capitalist system.

I wrote this on Twitter in response. He didn't appreciate it. "Matt gives hope to all intellectual mediocrities around the world that if you have successful parents and promote corporate centrist ideas, you too can become very wealthy. Shamelessness and 0 reflection are sadly required as well."

Matty with another sizzler. Setting aside the obvious β€œwe don’t want fascism to win anywhere” rebuttal, you know what’s in Brazil? A whopping 60% of the fucking Amazon rainforest. Jair Bolsonaro, Flavio’s dad, oversaw a surge in deforestation. Oh, and we already just missed 1.5 degrees.

Dan Mauler πŸŽƒ@meelar.bsky.social

I just think Matt's wrong about this. We're at a point in our technological development where a ton of problems spill over national borders--if Flavio Bolsonaro burns down the Amazon, that will flood houses in Miami.

Fascists around the world are building cross-country partnerships. Any competent pro-democracy effort at home would do well to partner with and learn from pro-democracy movements abroad. So congrats and appreciation to the democratic movement leaders in Hungary, Serbia, and Brazil!!!

Yes well it does require things like β€œempathy” and possessing a basic understanding that all of our lives are interconnected

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

I think the lesson from Lula is not never talk about the opposition; it's articulate a positive vision that's basically, We Can Just Do Things. That's why Mamdani-ism is so popular - voters have an intrinsic sense that their electeds have agency they're not using

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.
