My book event is tonight. If you're in downtown Atlanta, please stop by Manuel's Tavern at 7pm.

You guys did not hang the confederates after the war. And you are paying the price ever since.

The U.S. is the only major economy where planet-warming pollution has increased dramatically in the last year.

The book covers the stadium-building history in Atlanta (and across the US), from Ponce de Leon Park to Truist Park. In particular, I detail the secret dealings of the Cobb Board of Commissioners and Chamber of Commerce in "Project Intrepid" that brought the Braves to Cobb. Event info at the link.

Lula's surprise win blocks Trump’s push for a far-right Brazil

We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.

We have never seen anything like it before. Proven Meta and U.S. interference in the first round; now this criminal voter suppression in the second round. The far-right loves calling corruption when they themselves are against democracy when it benefits their side. This is torturous to watch.

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Idiotic

Why is there even a question here

This is a really good discussion of the obstruction a Dem Congress will have to fight.

GM just announced the biggest stock buyback in automotive industry history. Instead of investing in their workers or new product lines, GM executives are robbing from the future to pay themselves and their shareholders today. Stock buybacks should be illegal.

We have a list of people who raped children These people actually traded children to others so they could rape the children The names are readily available And the Republicans in Congress Decided America does not need to know who raped the children And the child rapists should not face consequences

Emails are easy.

What are we even doing man.

Via Ralph Chapoco: Democratic nominee Amanda Pusczek, a nurse and first-time political candidate, is challenging U.S. Rep. Robert Aderholt, R-Haleyville, a 30-year incumbent, in Alabama's 4th Congressional District, one of the most Republican in the country. https://ow.ly/CBE450ZZtET

On IG just now, @bradlander.bsky.social says he's been detained by the Israeli military. Israeli security forces have taken a NY congressional candidate on the eve of a US election.

Not the Onion or NYT Pitchbot He’s just shitting on everything.

For the first time, the British government has acknowledged that Russia interfered in the 2016 Brexit referendum. So who did BBC Newsnight invite on to discuss what happened? Sergei Markov, Putin’s former spokesman. Par for the course, says Nerve co-founder @carolecadwalla.bsky.social 1/

Former Google chief executive officer Eric Schmidt holds about 1% stake in Anthropic

Zuckerberg shut down No Kings on Meta Trump banned news outlets from the White House Now TikTok wants to erase the “Musk” documentary Billionaires wants to control our information, because they believe uninformed masses are compliant-and more profitable for them This will backfire Spectacularly

It has begun.

The new flack at DHS openly pushing "remigration."

Well, if there’s no final plan, then surely you won’t object to a PI to stop them from executing any future final plan, right? I see no problem here. There’s no final plan and a PI to ensure there’s no final plan. All sides are in agreement.

Elon Musk has spent at least $366 million since July to boost Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms. That’s just 0.0385% of his total net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

He died doing what he loved (trying to feed children into the military-industrial machine by pretending it was doing cool shit like rappelling from a stadium roof)

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️™️ 🧵 These are the actual ax handles a white mob used to assault Black youth staging peaceful sit‑ins in Jacksonville, FL on August 27, 1960. That's right—children! True story.😪 Pull up a seat🪑, my friends. (cont) #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

This is what American fascism looks like.

This is what No Kings should look like. Stupefying that we are no where near this level.

Accounts like this, Ron Filipkowski, and The TN Holler all do the same thing: steal videos, don't credit videos/images, rarely quote post or post links to sources. They're content engagement farming with other people's content.

Oops I’m crying again 🥹😭🧡💙

ICYMI, Marc Andreessen is a close ally of Peter Thiel & Elon Musk & sits on the board of Meta. He helped fund Musk’s Twitter takeover too. 1/ share.google/1PSzWVvf08fL...

In plain sight

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

Corruption is Job One

“There are people who are openly white supremacists who are consolidating power at record speed...If that don’t move you, it ain’t nothing that I can say that can move you.” LaTosha Brown from the @blackvotersmatterfund.org joins us on this week's More To The Story:

The claims of deliberate election interference by Meta are at this point just claims. They have not been proven in court. But the idea that Meta *could* do this with little or no transparency (and thus little or no ability to prove, prevent or punish it) is unacceptable. We cannot go on like this.
