⚡️️️️️️️Russian sabotage network behind Romanian arson attack, officials say. The attack is "part of a larger campaign of sabotage operations attributed to the Russian Federation in Europe," according to the Romanian Intelligence Service.

"Flávio has given up." A Bolsonaro family adviser tells The Washington Post he’s terrified his father, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, will DIE IN JAIL, and that he could be jailed himself THIS WEEK. Flávio effectively conceded defeat after Trump stopped short of intervening, per WaPo

The United Nations recognizes Russia's systematic strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure as war crimes and crimes against humanity. Russians also trafficked foreign nationals for fight with their armed forces invading Ukraine. www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

Maurene Comey must be REINSTATED to her federal prosecutor job with backpay, a federal judge has ruled. He adds that accepting Trump DOJ's position would "unsettle the very equilibrium established by this Nation’s constitutional system." Doc buff.ly/CDtADgH

The lesson from Brazil is that democracy cannot be taken for granted. Defeating authoritarianism at the ballot box is only part of the struggle. Defending democratic institutions, protecting civil rights and demanding accountability require strong, sustained, principled public participation.

This month, the EU has adopted the largest sanctions listings against Russia since the war started, and more are in the works.

In recent days, Russia has again launched heavy attacks on Kyiv and sunk civilian ships in the Black Sea. There is little hope for imminent peace in Ukraine. Our task is to help Ukraine withstand the attacks and increase the costs for Russia.

I met with the defence ministers of France, Germany, Italy, Poland and the United Kingdom in Paris today for talks on support for Ukraine, European defence and the conflicts in the Middle East. There is a new diplomatic push for peace in Ukraine, but Putin's actions tell a different story.

Lula won in part by banning online gambling

Lula once said he was grateful that Lionel Messi didn’t play as well for Argentina as he did for Barcelona. But, like Messi, Lula likely pulled off his greatest achievement in his final act. This photo goes hard

Kushner also failed to disclose himself as an agent of a foreign government, having been paid nearly $2 billion in total by foreign leaders. trib.al/NPqsq5A

Hope it was worth it @billmaher Trump also mocks Maher for forcing his audience to laugh at his bad jokes — guess Trump’s right about something after all🙃

VOTE

Americans have a choice. You can vote for Nazism—which is 100% what this is—or you can vote for America. Anyone votes for Nazism should never be forgiven by anyone they love or even anyone they know casually. Voting for Nazism is an unforgivable sin for good reason. It is treachery against America.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Most Israeli Jews now see the world the way Netanyahu has long seen it. That is Netanyahu’s great victory. But it is matched by his great loss: Much of the world now sees Israel the way Gazans see it,” our columnist Ezra Klein writes.

Wow.

And even if that share weren’t small, nobody in Ukraine gives a damn whether Russian soldiers are conscripts, mobilized troops, or contract soldiers. They’re all invaders, and can go straight to hell.

Elon is lying again. Right now, the absolute majority of Russian soldiers are volunteers or adult men who were mobilized back in 2022. Part of conscripts is negligibly small. @sternenko.bsky.social (c)

Do you have a moment to talk about showing sympathy for those who’ve been trying to occupy your land since 2014? Those innocent, poor souls.

We've rebuilt. New website. Restored database. And an interactive map that tracks people, organizations, institutions and events, and every link between them. Some records are incomplete. Some profiles are missing. Some connections are offline. New data comes in every week. #SPC

This is a confession to treason. Elon Musk, a private individual and not an elected official, hijacked U.S. national defence policy to harm partner Ukraine and help enemy Russia. www.cbc.ca/news/world/u...

Some wild MAGA on MAGA stuff going on

Zelenskyy: The most important thing today is that Starlink and Starshield operations have been restored to the speeds we had before the restrictions.

it hits different when El-Sayed drops a "Barack HUSSEIN Obama" 😆

I don’t think the young people (ie if you’re under 25 you don’t really remember Obama) realize just how electric a speaker he is

They know how to hit them where it hurts (H/T @atrupar.com )

God I miss him.

Very proud of my onetime student, Professor Sara Silverstein, whose innovative and timely book "For Your Health and Ours" was just published by Oxford UP. Anyone who is interested in health and democracy should read her book. @sarasilverstein.bsky.social sarasilverstein.org/for-your-hea...

Bill Clinton: "I think Congress made a mistake not protesting turning the Rose Garden into what looks like the entrance to Liberace's bathroom"

It is driving me mad that we are ignoring that Turning Point UK is freelancing as foreign agents for at least two countries, working with terrorists for contract killings and this is all on tape and no UK press outfit or the Prime Minister feels compelled to say anything.

MAGA is a Russian psyop

..greater battlefield mobility, even down to smaller backpacks, Russian accounts are acknowledging why Ukrainian forces are gaining ground. Even with the United States and the world's richest ketamine casualty putting their thumbs on the scale to save Putin, Ukraine continues to clean house.

“Toxic Empathy” author Allie Beth Stuckey is now asking for folks to understand that ICE has separated a good man from his family over a paperwork issue.

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

Well, well, well…. An analysis of voter registration records reveals Republican operative Scott Presler had 3 out-of-state voters use his Pennsylvania address to vote in the 2024 election. This is what voter fraud looks like.

🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelensky: The most important thing for today: we have resumed the work of Starlink and Starshield at the speed that was before all these restrictions. The restoration began last night, and in the morning there were already speeds sufficient for using this connection.

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Trump, Witkoff and Musk reached a joint decision to throttle StarLink/StarShield protections for Ukraine because they wanted to punish Ukraine and do a favor for Putin, who was preparing a nice gift bag for each of them... They then proceeded to lie profusely about what they did.

It sure is. www.readtangle.com/the-corrupti...

lol they really do not want you to see this movie huh

Ukraine’s children are not “conscripted to die”. Kids aren’t in the army. Even young adults aren’t. Putin is killing them from hundreds of miles with drones and missiles. This is all complete nonsense unless words lack all meaning.
