If we can afford tax breaks for the richest people in this country, don't tell me we can't afford to pay public school teachers and support staff a living wage.

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

Pauli Murray was a visionary lawyer, activist, poet, and Episcopal priest who spent their life breaking boundaries and fighting for justice. Our history podcast, Let the Record Show, dives into their work to fight racism and sexism in jury selection during the civil rights era.

On behalf of Team Carter, we want to wish the gentleman from Louisiana, Rep. Troy A. Carter, Sr., a Happy Birthday! Here’s to more life and outstanding leadership!  Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler!

Love to see it. This is what that man is meant to do.

In case facts still matter

Medicare for all. NOW.

Three days after the August primary, election workers in one Washington county went to check for late mail-in ballots. They expected no more than a few dozen. Instead, there were more than 500 — each a vote that wouldn’t count.

The cover-up continues. First they lied about what we could see with our own eyes & called Alex Pretti & Renee Good ‘domestic terrorists.’ Now they’re back to hiding evidence from MN state investigators. MN investigators must be given access to ALL evidence. This impunity must end.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving his construction crew to work when an ICE officer shot and killed him in Houston. He wasn’t even the person ICE was looking for. Now Texas voters are leaving their “I Voted” stickers at his memorial. #BlueWaveIn10Days

We are making the oil oligarchs rich. We are making Trump and his cronies rich. It is literally at our expense every day. There’s no trickling down happening. And Trump is bragging about it knowing nobody in the Republican Party will stand up to him and say enough.

Some cities it's just not worth fucking with

ICE said Antonio Moreida jumped onto the hood of their vehicle. Now a local police investigation concludes that an ICE agent struck him with his SUV. The routine lying by ICE is the result of the example set by leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.

“He seems very focused on home renovations” is a world class burn. It also happens to be true.

🔥 OBAMA: “The thing is, Iran didn’t have nuclear weapons — because I put a deal in place he pulled out of… and the war he started is why the price of everything is UP… how much time do you think Hegseth spends looking at himself in the mirror? These are not serious people.”

This admission alone is an impeachable offense

I'm at a Halloween party. Getting ready to dig in.

The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

I will never vote for an anti-transgender Democrat like Josh Turek and you should not either. I'll probably be writing my case to abstain from a handful of races like his on Monday. Josh Turek is showing the exact slippery slope I've called out, in real time.

There is much to be said and done about climate change, but three essentials must guide us. 🧵

One: We will fail on climate if pollute-for-free persists as fossil fuel’s business model. Offloading trillions in harm to humankind has always been wrong, morally and economically. It’s now lethal to any prospect of climate safety. It must end.

Nashville state senator @campbell4tn.bsky.social calls it “unacceptable” that voting machines are flipping votes to Marsha and Republicans 👇🏽

The State Board of Elections’ last-minute changes to voting by mail are leading to thousands more absentee ballots being rejected this election - at a rejection rate twice as high as in 2022. It’s infuriating. North Carolinians, please make a plan to vote this year, in person if possible.

Louisiana has the best voter stickers! I voted for the farmer and the special ed teacher #jamiedavis #electlaurenjewitt

They’ve got nothing to offer except slime. It reeks of desperation.

Hey folks: My next event will be at the Concord Museum (Massachusetts), where I'll be discussing the Revolution in a conversation moderated by the great historian Bob Gross. It's on November 6. Register below: concordmuseum.org/event/joanne...

“TIME FOR THEM TO LEAVE” The Memphis City Council passed a resolution tonight calling for the removal of ICE & the National Guard as part of the Trump-Lee UN-Safe Task Force. Multiple suspicious police killings. Harassing residents. A year+ of occupation. wreg.com/news/local/m...

Think our effort to address the damage done by DOGE Is over? Not at all! We just won summary judgment proving that they abused our data And we are also litigating in fed court on behalf of the countless people they injured at USAID

They're not powerless to stop him. They've simply chosen to do nothing.

Trump just claimed the United States had done “a lot” for Ukraine, but that Ukraine has done “nothing” for the United States. This is unjust in the highest degree. And not just untrue in the normal sense — it is a big lie, designed to bring about horror and chaos. snyder.substack.com/p/trumps-big...

“I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I’ve come close to defining it: a lack of empathy.... Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.” — Dr. Gustave Gilbert, U.S. Military Chief Psychologist in the Nuremberg Trials, Nuremberg Diary

The Trump administration launched a sweeping operation in California Monday, arresting 11 people and charging 28 lawful permanent residents with election and immigration-related crimes as it seeks to bolster a lawsuit targeting more than 20,000 voters. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Fox airs graphic showing skyrocketing diesel prices

ICE has notified me of another death that has occurred in their custody. This is the 59th death under Trump’s second term. We cannot allow this to continue. We need justice for ICE’s abuse, and we must completely eliminate this broken for-profit system.

Our country is not Trump’s personal playground. Enough of this crap.

We have reached the point where a former President of the United States has to remind the current President that criticizing him isn't grounds for deportation.

Trump administration's cuts to next generation weather satellite program could set back forecasting by a decade, experts warn. Note the lack of the lightning mapper on the new GeoXO constellation... www.cnn.com/2026/10/19/w...

“We want people to see what it really looks like,” she said of ICE flights. “It’s when the shackles are all laid out on the pavement, and the sun is shining on them, and you see them getting put on people, and people struggling to walk. People should know.” www.newsfromthestates.com/article/colo...

Tuberville: "Zelensky will play hardball, but you know what? He's not even a player in the game. Putin, President Trump, and the people on our side will make the final decision about Ukraine's future."

Monopolists have an incredible amount of control over critical infrastructure and communications across the globe. From Starlink slowing down in Ukraine to Meta shutting down the No Kings account, it’s clear these companies and billionaires need real oversight and regulation.
