there are people serving life sentences right now on thinner evidence than we have for "donald trump was jeffrey epstein's partner in serial rape" democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

The main negative response I've seen towards the excitement over this Louisiana US Senate race is "He WonT WIn AnYwAY!" I find it annoying because voters in this state haven't had much to be excited about in years, and change starts with people believing that change is possible in the first place!!

Haha bradbrad

A federal judge. Where we are as a country.

Here's a direct link to House Dem's Judiciary Cmte report. The executive summary begins: "A growing body of evidence demonstrates that Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s." democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Trump’s bid to steal a DC public park and turn it into an elitist golf course has been blocked. When many institutions kowtow to the dictator, federal district courts are holding the line.

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because it’s pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.

The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (with Marvin the Paranoid Android and doors, elevators, and automatic drink dispensers with “Genuine People Personalities”) was a warning, not a manual.

Today's @hillfamilybiking.org Halloween Ride was bananas. We were 5 city blocks of this 👇

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.

If you pretend to die they will show up with 100 police officers, but if you actually die they will show up with 1 to fill out the paperwork.

The Arlington, Virginia County Board has sued the Trump administration to prohibit it from authorizing armed federal agents to be present at polling places.

The attack ad against Acton is another in a long list of right-wing gotchas that have blown up in their face -- Eric Schmitt's attack on Jack Smith, the conspiracy that Talarico was in rehab, Tommy's heckling of El-Sayed, etc etc. Their echo chambers keep convincing them to do incredibly dumb shit

Forbes has been tracking Trump's wealth since the early 80s. They described Trump's first year back in office as "the most lucrative year of [Trump's] life." And it's not even close. Trump is earning hundreds of millions more than he ever has.

As certain stories fade from the spotlight, I hope we can all find room in our hearts to remember and honor the automaton birds still held in captivity in idiosyncratic Brooklyn boutiques. May they one day fly free. Somehow.

Males need far more models of adult friendship in general. But let's just go with this one for a while.

JD - I've got 15 free minutes before my son's hockey practice ends, so let me see how many of Trump's enrichment schemes you didn't see that I can remind you of. 1/ First one is easy: Trump has executed over 30,000 stock trades, many on inside information, netting him millions.

For cities with right-wing mayors (or premiers) because progressive parties lose by splitting the vote, the huge election result here in Vancouver was made possible by the agreement between Greens, COPE & OneCity to NOT each run full council slates, and have only one mayor candidate by election day.

This design appears to completely eliminate the much-beloved loop road and public park at Hains Point, and cut down the cherry trees which line the road. The park is a public space used by tens of thousands of Washingtonians and heavily visited by tourists. /photos not my own.

This is completely different plan from what NPS/DOI outlets have been posting, and would privatize one of the most egalitarian spaces in DC.

I agree with @rmtransit.bsky.social: Robotaxis strengthen the case for congestion pricing (which was already compelling). His post about Waymo's newly announced launch in Toronto: www.thetransitbrief.net/p/waymo-is-c...

Apparently at around 1:30 PM ET, the main accounts for the No Kings coalition on Instagram were frozen and pulled down. Admins have lost access to the account and are unable to log in. This happened at the peak of the organization's national day of action. Instagram, of course, is owned by Meta.

Taylor: He has turned the presidency into a side hustle. He has turned the White House into a deposit box for bribes, and he has turned your government into, forgive my words, a fucking ATM machine. So no, we don't want his name on the buildings.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

"Perhaps the bleakest factoid is that the US is even less popular as a tourist destination than Nazi Germany in the 1930s." This is a really big deal on so many levels. It's also so damn depressing. Trump really does ruin everything.

my only prediction if the democrats take the house and senate is we will be hearing a lot about the federal deficit

For fuck's sake! Friday! Not a fucking thing I can do about it.

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

this is disqualifying for any leader of the democratic party, no matter how you look at it.

There's a universe, like, two doors over where he's just a bitchy old queen living in a gorgeous UES penthouse with a handsome, buff, much younger man, and everybody in his building hates his guts, but I have never heard his name, not once.

WaPo published my letter, but first they censored it. Here’s the story . . 1/

Countries That Hold Public Executions: • Iran • Afghanistan • North Korea • Saudi Arabia • Somalia • USA: Def Sec Pete Hegseth announced plans to publicly livestream the Dec 3 firing-squad execution of Nidal Hasan, the former Army psychiatrist convicted of the 2009 mass shooting at Ft Hood.

Columbus never set foot in what is now the United States of America.

Forget LLMs, what we need are more MMLs

JR: On what universe did anyone in your office think that was acceptable? DOJ: Your honor, we did our best -- JR: No, you did not do your best. You did your absolute worst.

We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

A friend just wrote me about what is happening right now with AI decompiling games and applications (e.g., Adobe Photoshop) and it has really shaken me because the implications for the free market are staggering Basically closed source software is over forever and it happened overnight
