Happy Intersex Awareness Day 2026! Today is Intersex Awareness Day, and we’re celebrating as we do with books that have intersex rep!... https://lgbtqreads.com/2026/10/26/happy-intersex-awareness-day-2026/

Many of the pre-war Russian officers have been killed and Putin has been recruiting directly from prisons for years. Many of them have risen through the ranks because of attrition and now occupy command positions. You can imagine the kinds of extortion and crime they’ve been up to. Truly shocking.🤯

The average life expectancy of a new Russian recruit—from arrival at a training ground to death in a combat zone—lies somewhere between 10 days and three weeks. Once sent onto the battlefield, they survive an average of 20 to 35 minutes. @peterfrankopan.bsky.social foreignpolicy.com/2026/06/25/r...

The party of small government, amirite?

"People should be legally compelled to hang out with me" is of a piece with "free speech means everyone has to listen to and like whatever I say"

Dr. Richard Pan vs. Kevin Kiley: Hunger. Kevin Kiley voted to slash funding for food assistance, leaving over one million children without food. I’ve always fought to make sure children and families can put food on the table.

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

GOP does nothing but gin up culture wars. Meanwhile: — GOP slashed SNAP benefits to 5+ million Americans, forcing them to turn to food banks. — Trump's tariffs and war spurred inflation, making it more expensive to eat at The Cheesecake Factory. Prices are now ~13% higher than when he took office.

Authoritarians lost in Serbia too! www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/w...

Dragging this into the light...in light of Brazil.

This is not just a story about one community. It's about all communities, and how immigration enforcement is changing their relationships with their police departments. It begs the question: what have we, as a society, signed up for?

A must-read thread ⤵️

The Kremlin spends $5 billion a year on propaganda to manufacture support for its wars, while wealthy tankies like Fergie chip in, throwing their family money toward the same goal. Fact-based research to counter their BS is crucial — please support our work: vatniksoup.com/en/support-o...

"Delays resulting from the U.S. Postal Service’s cost-cutting measures have endangered the validity of ballots cast in rural areas across the country..." www.newsfromthestates.com/article/ball...

I warned 3 years ago that mink farms are a likely route to a new and horrific human pandemic, and once more I'm fervently praying it doesn't map out that way. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"“The U.S. is committing suicide,” Yasheng Huang, a professor at M.I.T., told me, referring to the Trumpian campaign to demonize higher education and hobble cutting-edge research."

“.. Video footage, Sheriff Greene said, clearly showed a woman being punched in the face. ‘I know what people saw, and if I saw that video, too, I’d be like, ‘My God, why didn’t the police do anything?’” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/u...

"If university bots graded bots, you would no longer have a university. You’d have a tomb, an academic mausoleum in which digital phantoms murmured emptily" theconversation.com/friday-essay...

To folks who follow me on Bluesky & appreciate the journalism I do. Can you please read the EPA story and post on social media platforms if you are so moved. This kind of work is important. But it only matters if people read it and engage with it. Here's the link. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

Are they finally starting to get it? In Michigan, Trump voters are feeling the financial pain of his tariffs, and some are having serious regrets. A Detroit restaurant is losing $30K because Canadian visitors aren’t coming. #BlueWaveIn10Days

I am the America First candidate. But you don't have to take it from me... See our new ad, airing on TV exclusively on Fox News and Newsmax.

Public execution has always been a part of US society. Even now, regularized police killings and capital punishment make it so. My latest for @prismreports.org is about why, livestreamed or not, open state-sanctioned killing is already the norm. prismreports.org/2026/10/21/e...

NEW: The EPA is quietly killing its web archive. Tens of thousands of documents on contamination, clean power, and Trump’s climate deletions are now scheduled to disappear. www.motherjones.com/environment/...

Ohio! I’m heading to Cleveland for a rally to support @amyactonoh.bsky.social and @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social. Make sure you have a plan to vote: IWillVote.com/OH

The Ramaswamy campaign not only tried to capitalize on a child rape victim, they did it by using an old homeless woman who—while vile—is in no mental shape to adequately understand the stakes. And did they pay her? Either answer is bad.

If you're not listening to @revealnews.org and @alletson.bsky.social's 'More To The Story' series on the regular, you're missing out. Sometimes it'll infuriate you, yeah, but it'll always inform and intellectually arm you.

“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:

Hundreds of thousands of voters will be heading to the polls in two weeks in newly redrawn, majority-white, majority-Republican districts. This week on Reveal, we look at the Supreme Court decision that made that happen.

NEW from me: Beth Fuller was a 10-year CDC contractor when she was DOGE'd last year by Trump + Elon Musk, a mass layoff process cheered by the GOP. Now she's a candidate in a key swing district that could end the GOP’s decades-long grip on total power in Georgia. www.huffpost.com/entry/beth-f...

Who's in charge of this country because it sure isn't us and it doesn't even appear to be the government anymore A bunch of paunchy moon-faced degenerate dead-eyed parasites forming a human centipede of investment in each others' vanity conglomerates, not a scintilla of civic virtue among them

This looks like a really cool service for people who want to hire artists who don't use AI. Check it out! hirehumanartists.com

Trans people are a materially real category of person whether you like it or not, and no amount of navel-gazing word games will change the fact that the punishment society levels at those who declare their belonging to that category is blatantly unjust.

We were investigating Wedgewood for faking their data and emailed them for comment this morning, ahead of publishing the findings tomorrow. They are now trying to cover up their fraud with the "we were doing a social experiment" excuse. Full story here: blog.fiftyplusone.news/p/fiftypluso...

Our volunteers gave their all. And then some. I felt like I had let so many of them down. To be extremely clear, Michigan Democrats are locked in to beat Mike Rogers. We WILL send @abdulelsayed.bsky.social to the US Senate.

"11 incidents of unauthorized access tallied by The Post reveal how easily users could gain or retain access to Flock’s data. In four of the cases, officers were able to keep using their log-ins to Flock after leaving the force or while serving a suspension, because their accounts were not shut off"

They both did it, it was a joint effort, it’s one of the crazier things to happen in the national security space (which is really saying something) and every government should be scrambling to reduce dependence on—and as soon as possible get off—Starlink/shield or any Musk product, including the US.

the lady who interviewed Acton's mother did two years in prison for attempting to blow up an abortion clinic. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheryl_...

This is going to get so much worse unless Congress can repeal the Medicaid cuts

Oh man I have so much to say about this but for now I'll just say that, yes, you can feel this when you're there.

This is not about "climate campaigners" and framing it this way is totally ridiculous This is a blow to the planet and us all

In an operation that costs millions of dollars, a deceptive flyer that is intended to spark moral panic among parents about trans issue was sent out across Texas. Hey, do you know of anyone obsessed with trans people that just dumped a ton of money in Texas? newrepublic.com/post/216856/...

"Trump’s actual purpose was plainly not to increase US diesel supplies, or otherwise lower prices, but rather to make clear his intention to definitively change sides & become Russia’s wartime ally — & to undermine the sanctions regime against Russia the US worked so hard to implement over 5 years."

This is not the news I wanted to read today. It is clear that the uncontrolled outbreak in the DRC is not tenable and we will continue to see imported cases outside of the DRC. Kenya and now Nigeria. This is a regional/ global emergency. www.wsls.com/health/2026/...
