Rebel Resistance since 1977 when I saw Star Wars. I was 10. ✌😎
Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad targeting Amy Acton’s childhood sexual abuse backfired. It prompted Ohio’s largest newspaper, The Plain Dealer, to reverse its policy on political endorsements and endorse Acton for governor.
🚨 NEWS: A federal judge has ruled that the Trump DOJ ILLEGALLY fired prosecutor Maurene Comey, ordering retroactive reinstatement and backpay.
The judge ripped the DOJ’s defense as bordering on “frivolous” and rejected its sweeping claims of executive power.
“20,000 for 2 weeks… we don’t want a handout… farmers are having auctions and quitting quit…”
When will @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn stand up for Tennessee farmers?
Back on 10/16, Comey filed a motion to dismiss, noting the statute of limitations requires an INDICTMENT within 10 years, not charges on information. Plus this issue was already investigated twice and it was determined that charges were unwarranted. 2/
NEW: I'm in the Comey docket now. Comey petitioned the court to unseal this case, which Judge McFadden granted today. That's why we're getting this news now 1/
Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far.
I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives.
I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent.

Code: y-Axis Alert!
Yesterday's Nino 3.4 preliminary sea-surface temperature anomaly set a new record high, at 3.48°C above the 1991-2020 baseline. To clearly show this anomaly, the y-axis max was raised to 4.0°C.
Attention historians: this is gobsmackingly bananas.
Last week, we celebrated Eastern European heritage at Gracie Mansion, because the story of New York City cannot be told without the story of our Eastern European neighbors.
The resistance around the world keeps growing. Brazil and Serbia are thousands of miles apart, but people in both countries are standing up to authoritarianism. They’ve shown us what can happen when people refuse to give up.
A win! Another defeat for Trump’s DOJ. A federal judge ruled that prosecutor Maurene Comey was illegally fired and ordered retroactive reinstatement and backpay through December 20, 2025.
Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called.
An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.
A win for the resistance! Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva defeated Flávio Bolsonaro to remain president of Brazil, dealing a major blow to the far right in Latin America. Ketchup will be flying tonight at the White House! 💚✊
Another stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian students voted out their authoritarian leadership after months of protests against corruption, taking their fight from the streets to the ballot box and turning people power into political power.
