A video of a ukrainian young boy has gone viral on social media. He tells his mother that he has grown used to the sound of Shahed drones and is no longer afraid of them. “It’s better to listen to nature and what the trees are telling you,” the boy advises his mother.

Many of you are asking how you can help me in these final days before the election. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld

I know that everyone is focused on Trump's attacks in California and Alaska. My team is fighting in court in both places. But understand the fight for free and fair elections is much broader. Elias Law Group is currently litigating 92 voting and election cases in 42 states plus DC.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of Mary Peltola's campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Elias Law Group has filed to fight DOJ's lawsuit to rig the Alaska Senate election. We will win this case, Mary will win this election, she will be certified and seated.

This is absolutely horrible! A nonverbal student with special needs was walking to Santa Maria High School when ICE agents tackled him, restrained him, and left him with a broken wrist requiring surgery, according to witnesses and school officials.

One of Texas’s top prosecutors used the first day of early voting in the state to threaten election officials. “He was also playing to an audience of one,” Marc Elias says. “A sad, pathetic man in the White House.” They want you tired and tuned out. Follow us to stay in the fight.

It is clear that Democrats are set to sweep control of Congress in free and fair elections. It is also clear that Trump and the GOP are working to make sure the elections are not free and fair. I founded Democracy Docket to help you stay informed to fight back. demdock.com/4w6emld

🚨 TEXAS PEEPS, CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION. A DPS screwup left voter registration applications sitting unprocessed for months. The deadline to register is October 5. Don’t find out at the ballot box that you’re not registered. CHECK IT NOW. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

If you are a lawyer, and want to help defend our democracy, your way for you to get involved. 

Danny Miller@danielmilleresq.bsky.social

I'm proud to have helped organize this. If you're a lawyer or law student, sign up for this nonpartisan rally next Tuesday. You'll hear from @meiselasb.bsky.social and @normeisen.bsky.social among other champions of the rule law about what YOU can do to protect our free and fair elections.

Please stop overestimating what a democratic Congress can do. The oligarchs are spending money to make you think a Dem Congress can arrest people and hold trials and pass laws without a POTUS signature so that you’ll be disappointed when they don’t do stuff they can’t do. Don’t fall for it.

The No Kings coalition wants everyone who is able to vote early. They will be preparing people to do so on October 17th, but early voting has already started in some states. If you are physically able & your state has early voting, please consider doing it for any of the good reasons listed below.

This is super cool. @zacheverson.com is a journalist following Trump’s crypto corruption. For people who are having trouble understanding how it works, Zach made a game. I love this kind of innovation for helping us understand stuff….

Zach Everson@zacheverson.com

New: Trump called crypto "thin air." Last year, he reported $1.4 billion in income from it. Buyers of his crypto? They're an estimated $4.7 billion underwater. I made an 8-bit game out of it— 📈 Play as Trump: you cannot lose money. 📉 Play as an investor: you cannot win.

Medicare For ALL Single-payer universal health care system could cover every American, save more than 100,000 lives a year, and still cost $1.04 trillion or 20% less than system it would replace, according to new preprint study led by researchers at Yale School of Public Health. go.bsky.app/kHQhsS

I absolutely LOVE this. Christian Bale spent roughly 17 years fighting to make this happen. This week, his foster-care village opened in Palmdale, California: 12 homes built specifically to help keep siblings together when they enter foster care.
