🚨 FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA VOTERS! More than 7K voters had their registrations flagged over questions about their residential addresses, & the ACLU is raising serious concerns about errors. Check your voter status NOW. If it says “Challenged,” contact Fulton County Elections.

🚨BREAKING: We have moved for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction enjoining Trump from continuing to unconstitutionally impose themselves upon election administration procedures that the Constitution and federal law assign to the States.

Old-fashioned racism from RFK Jr. at a GOP event.

If, as expected, Democrats sweep this election,the already growing movement in MAGA to repeal the 19th amendment will get louder. It's tempting to dismiss this as just talk. But while they can't just end women's suffrage, this movement is dangerous. www.salon.com/2026/10/26/m...

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

"Growing anti-Indian rhetoric within the GOP is pushing some lifelong conservative Indian American voters to reconsider their allegiance to the Republican Party"

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won Brazil's presidential runoff for a fourth, non-consecutive term, the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) has confirmed the victory. CONGRATULATIONS BRAZIL and congratulations Lula.

From California to Florida, Republicans who backed Trump’s false claims about the 2020 election are running for office. They must lose. #VoteBlueDownBallot 🗳️🌀 www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

White nationalism or the U.S. Constitution.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Move on, absolutely nothing to see here 👇

Weird how this keeps happening

Anthropic’s idea of AI safety: an imminent threat to 50 lives is where shutdown debate starts.How reassuring. Most companies try to avoid a body count. These visionaries brought a minimum order.

Thread 🧵: the fraudulent transgender mailers have a connection back to Dallas, Texas, where a local Republican megadonor used a similar playbook years ago when he funded a fake BLM group to send letters to wealthy white parents that were designed to discredit the BLM movement.

The latest payment from NRCC to Snailworks was on 9/25/26. October filings are not out yet.

I can find no record of Snailworks being paid by a candidate or PAC in Texas campaign finance disclosures. In federal filings, the only group to spend money on Snailworks this year is the NRCC, amounting to more than $57k. Since 2020, only one other candidate has used Snailworks.

Small update re: the Texas Transgender Student Union mailers. Snailworks, the company that provided mail tracking services for the mailers, denies sending them but will not disclose who hired them. The NRCC spent $4,677 on Snailworks on 8/27/26. TTSU was created days later.

FINALLY, a newspaper did an article on Katy Cornell's extremist beliefs. Katy's videos proudly announcing her weirdo Christian Nationalist and healing magic beliefs weren't from the distant past, she deleted them all recently to deceive voters. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news....

Hey St. Louis! Come on out tonight to Left Bank Books to celebrate the paperback release of Leonard Zeskind’s Blood & Politics. Despite this annoying cold, the conversations in Chicago, KC, and Columbia have been amazing. Looking forward to more tonight and tomorrow in Lawrence.

In total: • 50–65+ injured • 62–100+ arrested, 48 of them Black • 0 white attackers charged The imbalance was deliberate — a reflection of Jacksonville’s political leadership and police culture at the time. Local media downplayed the violence. (cont) youtu.be/q8xY-2oqcX4?...

❗❗❗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.

In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org

I assumed the response to the Omar harassment was muted because there's an assumption that she'll win in the end. But @sophiatesfaye.bsky.social is probably right that the press has been cowed by right-wing conspiracists into thinking they may have something. www.salon.com/2026/10/17/t...

NEW: One of the nation's most important far-right sheriffs, Bob Songer, is leaving. Why is he that important? He is a big member of the 'constitutional sheriff' movement, and sits on that group's board. We report on what his retirement & upcoming elections means for his legacy—& his county.
