More corruption by the regime, profiting from Venezuela's oil and not revealing where those profits are going.

The Atlantic@theatlantic.com

The Trump administration and the Venezuelan government have struck a deal to exploit Venezuela’s oil—but their partnership is good for the rich and no one else, @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu reports. theatln.tc/PANSlDZN

This list of what's changed under the regime is too long & yet still short of what we have lost in less than 2 years! The resistance needs to really show up for this election & the time between the election & the winners being seated. We must stop the regime & hold them accountable.

Fascinating guess of what Trump's doing to address his failing body and mind. Looking at the boxy thing resting on his behind, the backplate of the exoskeleton seems feasible. As well as the need for it!

Michael Wolfe@wolfeman44.bsky.social

My guess is he wears an exoskeleton. They have different uses but in him I think it is to prevent his upper body from tilting forward due to rapidly progressing frontotemporal dementia.

Team Trump's attempt to meddle with the 2026 elections appear to be like a game of "Three Card Monte" Lots of sleight of hand.. and no one gets to see the real cards

Huge alert of AI adoption causing massive job losses - 60,000 from Microsoft pushed out the door. What is being done to find these displaced workers new jobs?

The consolidation of the media by the oligarchs is "demonstrating how this unchecked concentration threatens democratic discourse." There is no free media in an autocracy.

Writers Guild speaks out about tech platforms squashing the @alexgibneyfilm doc about Elon Musk: “A small handful of billionaires now own virtually every major media company, news outlet, social media platform and are demonstrating how this unchecked concentration threatens democratic discourse.”

"Our bar keeps getting lowered, but the political ad released by Ramaswamy is well beyond the character of any nation that calls itself a civilized place. This election is not so much about policy as it is protecting our souls from the dark forces at play. Vote like your future depends on it." Yes!!

“Most of my true heroes in this life have been women. In my experience, they have borne most of the brunt of an often broken society, but somehow managed to move it forward anyway. Progress often walks hand-in-hand with the persecuted. Misogyny and mediocrity are no match for our mothers.” noelcasle

We're open to tips about what to track next. If you see a new rumor emerging, or if there's a story spreading and you want to know what it looks like on X (or Bluesky), let me know. You can message me here. We don't have the capacity to map EVERYTHING, but we do for a few interesting things.

We saw reports of "machines switching votes" in TN & TX. These are typically real issues — a calibration problem w/ older touchscreen machines — but not intentional efforts to rig the vote. Always good for voters to check that their vote is being recorded correctly. www.cip.uw.edu/2026/10/22/e...

The regime is trying to kill us. In the most horrible of ways. Great investigative report on the unleashing of deadly cancer causing chemicals by the regime.

Eric Lipton NYT@ericlipton.nytimes.com

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

This thread covers what the regime is doing and hopes to accomplish, and how our response will determine whether the move to autocracy fails now as well as stopping potential future attempts to rebel against the Constitution, which is morally tantamount to treason.

Andy Craig@andycraig.bsky.social

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.

Founding father reiterating the mission of government. Today's US government is the antithesis of that mission. We are not safe or protected by this regime. Our economy is struggling, our quality of life suffering. And the vast majority of us are VERY unhappy. Rally your tribe to vote blue ASAP.

When first reported, 2025’s jobs reports added up to 1.2 million new jobs. After revisions, the economy added just 116,000 — 90% less.

Look at you, already it’s Friday’s eve! Take stock of your surroundings, & move on towards your goal. The goal you want to achieve, at the end of your journey, this week. Keep your eyes on that. Set your sails. Let’s go! Be careful. Be safe. Be shiny. Be glimmer. Be you to the full. Take no shit.

Thank you, Beth, for giving me a boost and connecting me to more resistors!

In 2012, Robin Williams warned us about Trump’s ownership of pageants like Miss America and Miss Universe, comparing it to Michael Vick owning pet stores: “It’s a catch-and-release program.” We should have listened to Robin.

I agree-it's hard to understand the complacency of people as our government is dismantled & sold for parts. And as the regime embraces our enemies & turns their backs on our allies. The emptiness of the oaths to uphold the Constitution & the rule of law should be anathema but are met with silence.

Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social

I never would've expected Americans to get so accustomed to fascist madness. Every day there are 5 new outrages that make me think I must be having a nightmare. Yet some people around me act as if it's just normal life. Frankly, a little more healthy panic would reassure me.

It appears there is no end to the regime's commitment to election interference. The midterms will be a lab for the regime to determine what ploys work and improve their fuckery for the 2028 elections. Voting early in mass numbers will be critical to stopping these attempts from being successful.

A discreet network of current and former U.S. national security officials is advising state leaders on how to respond if the federal government attempts to disrupt voting, interfere with election administration or challenge the handling of results during the November 3 midterms. #TheCityBrief
