We saw reports of "machines switching votes" in TN & TX. These are typically real issues — a calibration problem w/ older touchscreen machines — but not intentional efforts to rig the vote. Always good for voters to check that their vote is being recorded correctly. www.cip.uw.edu/2026/10/22/e...

Obviously, Obama isn't as down-to-earth as the guy telling you that high gas prices are a small price to pay to make the oil companies rich.

When first reported, 2025’s jobs reports added up to 1.2 million new jobs. After revisions, the economy added just 116,000 — 90% less.

has mmfa or someone like that compiled a comparison of airtime and front page headlines given to hunter biden vs jared kushner, given that kushner's alleged corruption is about 1000x larger, you would expect it to receive more coverage than Hunter's, right?

I hope it’s entirely wasted

Wow... "Armed and in uniform, federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security have been knocking on doors in several states to ask residents about their immigration status — and to inquire if they have registered to vote or cast votes in past elections, a CBS News Investigation has found."

The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks. The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks. When Trump touts the stock market as a sign of a good economy, remember who is benefiting the most.

This is an incredibly important point. According to both Acton and her mother, their last meeting was after Acton testified against her stepfather in court. Her mother fled the state with her stepfather and they’ve had no contact since. Acton’s mother is raging against a 12 year old abuse victim.

Einaphets@einaphets.bsky.social

Let’s be clear, Amy Acton’s birth mother hasn’t been in her life for 48 years. So when the birth mother calls Amy a liar, she’s calling the 12 year old who was raped by her step-father a liar. Vivek has reached a new disgusting low, even for Republicans.

Incentivizing Trump voters to call in their suspicions about about black and brown people? What's the worst that could happen?

But Crawford is in trouble for giving the game away- as Bari Weiss at Ellison's CBS has been systematically promoting MAGA conspiracy stories about Talarico and El-Sayed non-existent ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. All part of oligarch intervention in our elections. bsky.app/profile/just...

Three weeks before Election Day, Trump’s DOJ is trying to stop California from counting ballots based on unproven claims about noncitizen voters. Is the real goal to win in court—or to lay the groundwork for claiming another stolen election? My analysis: joycevance.substack.com/p/doj-v-cali...

I don't think most Americans understand yet what a global laggard the USA is turning into here. Media instead told us that electric vehicles were a fad that didn't work.

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

Yes, absolutely. For example, if in the next few weeks, Trump sends ICE officers to polls, you know what you do? You go anyway, you throw them a middle finger, and you walk into the ballot box and don't let them intimidate you. What you don't do is despair and stay home.

I said this in a thread last night and in a thousand threads before it, but you really are doing the work of those who would destroy democracy and the rule of law when you are a doomer. You can be aware of — and vigorously oppose — the lawlessness of this administration without insisting on doom.

Power means nothing if you won't use it when the people of Maine need it. Maine deserves better. Maine deserves change. We have the chance to build a government that serves the people, not the ultra-wealthy. Let’s go win this thing.

Bingo. Even if they flip the Senate AND scrap the filibuster, Trump can veto anything he wants until noon on 1/20/29. Edit: Yes, they should pass positive policy stuff anyway, I just meant that people need to understand that it's possible NONE of it will actually be implemented due to his veto.

This is essential. But has everyone in DC forgotten that Trump has a veto for the next two years? That word does not appear here once. The next two years have to be about getting everything lined up for 2029. And not overpromising deliverables in the meantime. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

How you return your ballot depends entirely on your home state! 🗺️🗳️ Some states let you submit your voted ballot electronically (by email, online portal, or fax), while others require you to return it by postal mail. Check the map! Find your state's specific rules and deadlines at votefromabroad.org!

Every time one Democrat does something bad it's "the Democrats" and every time a Democrat does something good it's "finally one Democrat who gets it." "The Democrats" is one of the most annoyingly ill-used verbal tics across the entire spectrum of hellsites.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you ignore that Dems voted 206-2 & 47-0 against the trans athlete bill & attribute a post by some rando as the position of the Democratic Party you are a fucking dishonest hack

Paul F. Tompkins@pftompkins.bsky.social

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.
