These things take little time with huge impact if we all do it.

Approximately 226 men per day are proceeded against by Australian police for domestic & family violence or sexual assault offences. That is 1 every 6.4 minutes. By the time you finish reading this, another woman would have been preyed on by a wolf. #auspol pearlsandirritations.com/post/2026/10...

Toronto has reelected its progressive mayor, Olivia Chow, for a second term, opting to stick with her agenda of stronger social services and improved affordability.

Since 2020, President Trump and his allies have been hinting that they might send federal forces to “protect” polling places. If that happens, what can cities, states, and communities do to protect their citizens and fair elections?

We have lots of good stuff to highlight, I've always felt the Dems don't understand how important this is. Obama walked away from OFA. Biden did good stuff but didn't champion it. Republicans are great at taking credit, even when they don't deserve it. We need to do better.

Brazilian voters denied Latin America’s resurgent right its ultimate prize, snapping a streak of seven conservative presidential victories, limiting Trump’s grip on the Western Hemisphere, and cementing Latin America’s most populous country and largest economy as a counterweight to Washington.

Tripling global #renewables by 2030 (4 yrs away) means an additional 11,000 GWe. Tripling global #nuclear by 2050 (24 yrs away) means only an additional 1,400 GWe. Do the maths. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The next 10 days will be monumental, with elections in Serbia, Brazil, Israel and the US. This one was a victory for democracy.

"You want to hear which men America’s greatest president considers to be stone-cold babes. Step forward, Jon Husted of Ohio, with your glorious, rippling glutes and your valiant crusade against energy-efficient dishwashers."

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

A Russian energy giant secretly financed a US gas project in Alaska, while that same project was being discussed by Putin with Witkoff and Kushner as part of talks supposedly aimed at ending Russia’s war in Ukraine. The US company’s CEO resigned after discovering the Russian money.

But your lawyer told SCOTUS that one of the reasons the justices should declare former presidents broadly immune from prosecution for criming while in office is so that no future president would try to pardon himself

In a little-noticed webpage update, the Environmental Protection Agency has announced a plan to decommission its online web archive at the end of the year, a move that would wipe tens of thousands of publicly available environmental resources from the web.

This week I’ve seen men ridicule women for dressing “too provocatively” & other men ridicule Muslim women for dressing “to conservatively.” A reminder that men should shut the hell up, stop worrying about how women dress, & instead expend their energy on getting men to stop raping & abusing women.

1/ No Kings' Instagram went dark for ~90 minutes at peak mobilization today. Meta stayed silent, then admitted "a bad call." Organizers are still locked out. Ezra Levin: suspended "without explanation." Zuckerberg's platform. Remember Brazil? #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Barack Obama just delivered a blistering rebuke of Trump's actions against Ilhan Omar. This is worth reading in full.

American should be the second 👇

Some corporate Democrats and pundits think the party has gone too far "left" and needs to readjust towards the “center.” Rubbish. Where’s the center between democracy and oligarchy, and why would Democrats want to be there?

Josh Hawley staffer and political operative Tommy: You are supposedly a Christian. Have you disavowed Christian domestic terrorists like Timothy McVeigh, The Aryan Nation, the KKK, Eric Robert Rudolph, and Dylann Roof, etc., etc., etc.? If not, what are YOUR allegiances?

Trump’s going for the full scare tactic now. Everyone would have healthcare!!

North Carolina A&T students marched back to campus after their polling place was closed. They voted anyway! It took students about 45 minutes to reach Union Square — now the closest early polling place. Some sections of sidewalk were missing or obstructed by branches, forcing people into the street.

Democrats for Mike Rogers, a group that has spent millions of dollars to defeat Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, is funded by Republican-aligned organizations, campaign finance records show.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin admitted he wants to hit Omar with RICO charges. trib.al/xGNr60E

It came nearly 2 years after a House Ethics Committee report said Gaetz made payments totaling tens of thousands of dollars to women for sex, including a 17-year-old girl. Gaetz denied the allegations at the time, but it led to his withdrawal from his nomination by Trump to serve as AG.

@schumer.senate.gov Do your damn job!!!! I can't vote in your primary, but I absolutely will be funding your opponent.

Trump’s diesel deal gives Putin millions to finance his war against the Ukrainian people while doing next to nothing to lower prices at the pump.    This dangerous & irresponsible decision must be reversed.   That’s why I joined 17 of my colleagues in introducing bipartisan legislation to block it.

The Washington Post reviewed a Heritage Foundation database of voter fraud cases and found 85 cases relating to allegations of noncitizens voting between 2002 and 2023. 85…over TWO DECADES. This entire administration is built on lies.

Was it Musk or Trump? Who intervened to hinder Ukraine's satellite internet access, protecting Russian targets from Ukrainian launches? Can stop debating, it looks like the answer is both. Both are Putin sympathizers who have acted to help Russia before, and it'd probably take both to work.

In case facts still matter…

I just introduced a bill to ban live-streaming public executions. As an Army JAG, I oversaw the post-trial legal proceedings in Nidal Hasan’s case. He should face the fullest consequences of the law. But turning executions into public entertainment is what terrorists and authoritarian regimes do.

A Massachusetts woman pays $500 a month to get her electricity from a privately owned utility. Her neighbor, less than 2,000 feet away, pays just $130 a month because he’s served by a publicly owned utility. How are privately owned utilities getting away with this price gouging? Watch.
