It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Fascists around the world are building cross-country partnerships. Any competent pro-democracy effort at home would do well to partner with and learn from pro-democracy movements abroad. So congrats and appreciation to the democratic movement leaders in Hungary, Serbia, and Brazil!!!

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

8 days until Nov 3. Don't wait for Election Day & don't trust a poll. Vote early if you can. Bring your neighbor, your coworker, your mom, the cousin who always says it won't matter. Every seat counts, Congress, Governor on down. Vote blue from top to bottom! #BlueWaveIn8Days

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

"Vote for Alex, vote for a step closer to justice for my family, vote for ALL of the victims of ICE, vote for your community and your neighbors. Alex stood up for his community so now it is time we stand up and fight back."

The people of Serbia celebrating the defeat of the dictator who held full authoritarian control of their country for nearly 14 years. This is what democracy looks like.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving his construction crew to work when an ICE officer shot and killed him in Houston. He wasn’t even the person ICE was looking for. Now Texas voters are leaving their “I Voted” stickers at his memorial. #BlueWaveIn10Days

Milwaukee’s Archbishop Grob: “I feel a heavy sadness, not only over the pain I caused, but also for the fact that something so sacred to a group of religious leaders, prayer to our Heavenly Father, would be manipulated in that way.”
