Intimidation campaigns won’t change the law: sending ICE or armed federal agents to the polls is illegal. @wendyweiser.bsky.social and Jasleen Singh lay out the many laws and structures that protect elections and enable Americans to vote confidently in @time.com:

In an attempt to overturn the midterms, self-appointed vigilante vote fraud hunters, backed by Trump, are challenging the ballots of HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of legit voters — overwhelmingly Black, Hispanic, Asian and young citizens. #SaveYourVote

Pennsylvania courts say court-appointed attorneys should act “expeditiously” to secure new trials for clients who believe they were wrongfully convicted. Our records review found delays as long as 19 years without a single court filing. with @inquirer.com

Three vehicles torched. A Palestinian man's hand broken. All during the olive harvest in the occupied West Bank. MeidasTouch reporter Suri Crowe recounts what happened to a family she met. “These Palestinians are merely trying to harvest the olives on land that they have owned..."

Does this deeply sick society have a right to exist? No. Unfortunately, for the moment, it does exist.

@mark-carney.bsky.social Canada trades with the genocidal regime that blew limbs off children.

Exactly 10 years ago today: Hillary Clinton said Vladimir Putin would rather have "a puppet as president of the United States.” She absolutely nailed it. 🔨

Abdul El-Sayed nails it: "The real question is about what should we use our money for?" "It's a pretty crazy thing that a whole lot of people in Washington DC... think that the best use of our tax dollars is to give bombs and tanks to a country that has universal healthcare and universal college."

Bats have long been associated with the spirit of Halloween, and no bat is more on theme than vibrant orange-and-black painted wooly bats. 🦇🎃 Yet the truly scary thing about them is how quickly their populations are declining — primarily due to being killed so their bodies can be used for decor. 🧵

Please join us in urging Amazon to STOP selling painted woolly bats so their populations can again flourish in the wild — where they belong. ⬇️⬇️

Since October 2023, Washington has sent between $16.3 billion and $21.7 billion in extra military aid to Israel. That’s on top of $3.8 billion every year. Meanwhile, 27 million Americans have no health insurance, families can’t afford housing or groceries, and lawmakers tell us there’s no money.

Some act as though you are the weirdest thing walking the planet

Black autistic men are often first seen as a threat before they are seen as anything else so to have such a healing panel & safe space was a beautiful thing 💐

They'll just hide behind several layers of shell companies to do it.

Track AIPAC: AIPAC’s Retreat From Direct Endorsements Is a Win for Grassroots Pressure - and a Move Into the Shadows Our full statement here:

Hey everyone, gather around! Elon Musk, the trillionaire defense contractor currently spending >$400m on political campaigns to prop up the party of a deeply unpopular president who launched the Iran War has some thoughts about Ukraine, elites, and money in politics.

Our billionaire psychopaths are skimming dystopian sci-fi for business ideas. Ugly people with ugly lives who want to create an ugly world. Destroy all beauty and test how inhumane and awful they can be. Maybe kitten suicide bombers will be their next big idea. Society must reject these assholes.

I am a volleyball parent and responsible for abuse prevention in my line of work. I can attest that youth sports is absolutely unregulated, un-boundaried and with the arrival of private equity completely unethical. It is a very dangerous place for young people.

Allegations of sexual misconduct against AAU coaches are handled by a board whose names are not made public. Asked about written guidelines for when to ban coaches, a former board member said the group “just decided on our feelings.” (Published August w/ @washingtonpost.com)

You deserve politicians that aren't bought off by corporations. You deserve better than a war that we're fighting aimlessly that raises your gas and grocery prices. You deserve to look your kids in the eye and know that their country's going to be better for them.

"This is a publicity stunt aimed at intimidating voters." Sean Morales-Doyle of the Brennan Center for Justice reacts to reports of Homeland Security agents knocking on doors alleging non-citizen voter fraud.

“When our democracy comes under attack like this, that's precisely the moment when people need to make sure that their voices are heard.” The Brennan Center’s elections expert Sean Morales-Doyle joins guest host Antonia Hylton to explain why people shouldn’t succumb to Trump's intimidation tactics.

Noncitizens voting in U.S. elections is vanishingly rare. If anyone who isn’t eligible attempts to vote, they face severe penalties such as jail time or deportation.

Election betting odds are reaching millions through media partnerships with CNN, CNBC, and Fox News. What effect do they have on voters? A new study finds that prediction markets shape how voters view candidates — and more than 80% want these markets more tightly regulated or banned outright.

I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.

Momentum swing. Track AIPAC deserves major credit for exposing #AIPAC #BDS #Gaza www.thecrimson.com/article/2026...

Retired Air Force Major @fjohnd4.bsky.social refuses AIPAC money & calls Israel's actions against Palestinians a genocide. He wants to use American tax dollars to help small-town hospitals stay open & family farms stay in business instead of fueling forever wars abroad. Vote John Duresky in #WA04!

From Denmark to Spain and France, police violence is met with growing outrage as protesters and journalists face brutal crackdowns across Europe. Those taking to the streets to demand justice are met with batons, intimidation, and repression, while journalists documenting the violence.

The Palestinian flag has become a symbol of rising up against oppression and demanding freedom. The genocide in Gaza has sounded the alarm worldwide that Israeli war crimes will not be confined within. “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”—Martin Luther King Jr.

As the genocide continues in Gaza, the gruesome reality of apartheid “Israel” is exposed to the world. Despite deliberately killing 263 journalists in Gaza to bury the truth with them, the complicity of Western media and decades of the Hasbara propaganda machine at work.

Remember when everyone was supposed to get “DOGE dividends” and $2,000 tariff rebates? Now Elon Musk is promising to give every child a SpaceX share, while Trump is claiming he'll dole out $5,000 checks if Republicans win the midterms. Their desperation is showing. Don’t be fooled.
