In fact I will say the Earnest and Pious Charismatic Ethnic Minority political figure (AOC, Mamdani, El-Sayed) has been a pretty good bet for the American left so far, whereas the Disaffected Gruff White Guy Showcasing True Masculinity (Fetterman, Platner) has been a worse bet. Just an observation.

This report has a lot more information than that one less-than-credible accusations against Trump. If people read (I know, it's an impossible ask), you'll see there are three more I would deem extremely well-evidenced and credible.

We have near final results from Brazil, 99.8% reporting: Lula 51.76% Bolsonaro 48.24% In 2022, Lula beat Bolsonaro's father by 1.8%; so he has nearly doubled his lead. Also, if you followed this thread & enjoyed it... be sure to follow me: I'll be tracking 700 US elections at once in 9 days!

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Crying over here.

WOW WOW WOW! Good things are possible!!

Freedom of movement is the most fundamental human right; everything else is built on top of it. The 20th century was a campaign to smother that freedom and we should not let it win

looking at early voting and mail-in-voting data is a path to madness. i do not think it is *impossible* to see something meaningful in this data if you are an expert practitioner but it is very difficult and you are much more likely to see what you want to see (or what you fear)

They are destroying the administrative state & throwing all of us to the wolves. Doesn't matter if you voted for them or not, MAGA/MAHA are driving us into a chaotic, deadly, pre-20th century wilderness of no aid for states devastated by disasters; no regulation... share.google/0kdXsvm8ER8q...

Elon Musk threatens Congress.

El-Sayed: "People like Vance think America is too small for some of us. I think America is big enough. America has been big enough include people whose families came, were here before anybody else showed up, or who were brought here despite themselves. His view of America is small -- small like him"

We have to think about collapsing Trump poll numbers and Rs turning on him the same way we'd think about finally being able to corner a rabid raccoon in your garage. Good news: he's out of options. Bad news: he's a rabid raccoon.

This election season has been simply devastating for victims.

LOL. 😭

🎯 “Russia is providing intel on US bases in the Middle East to Iran so it can kill US soldiers there. Trump doesn't care about these deaths because he considers US soldiers killed in action as ’suckers’ and ‘losers.’ Other Republicans clearly don’t care about them either….”

Spent the day at #ragaslive at @pioneerwork.bsky.social My fifth year. Always an amazing experience.

I liked this bit about two types of judgment, from John Ganz’ Unpopular Front (subscription required to read the whole post).

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

“Since its creation after 9/11, there has never been an ICE officer killed in the line of duty, but dozens of elementary school students have been killed in shootings. Firearms remain the leading cause of death for American children — more than motor vehicle crashes.”

How many of you losers have even been White House press secretary for even one day?

Anyway, good case study here. You can be as evil as you want, you can kill as many people as is possible, you can shove churro ladies into vans then off to black sites in countries they've never even heard of, but if you can't do the performance of fascism — that's when you're in real trouble.

ICYMI: Until six months ago, White House press secretary Katie Zacharia worked with an organization that wants to prosecute people who have abortions for homicide—yes, throw women in prison. And last year, she claimed that abortion pills have ties to Nazi Germany.

LOL! Great ad!

i do not meaningfully care about this argument but my stance remains: i refuse to generate unpaid content for elon musk the child pornographer, and to model the behavior that lets elon's algorithm show me the optimal unpaid content he wants me to see. it's interesting that you want to do that though

Anti-ICE Protest at Allen Pavilion on Broadway and 220th.

Ossoff's superpower is that he correctly thinks his opponent is a contemptible piece of shit and he is willing to explain why in clear and direct language. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Ossoff is an ASSASSIN. U LUV 2 SEE IT!!!!

Dude looks like a police sketch of Luke Wilson

Ongoing live reporting of the French education protests.

Republicans don’t like markets anymore than they like meritocracy. What they like is very specific kinds of inequality that can be achieved through markets and meritocracy. But if they aren’t then those things aren’t worth it.

Got mine today!

BEST explanation of Trump‘s continual lying and wholesale deceptiveness.

That was GREAT!! Thank you so much for doing that.
