Today: We’ve got @mingemi.bsky.social comin in hot with her take on the WNBA Finals Game 6 timing debacle. Why is this happening? “So men aren’t inconvenienced.” www.coyotemedia.org/valkyries-fi...

does this guy have any friends who are not fraudsters i am just asking

Trump renamed the DoD to Dept. of War. I've been thinking he should follow through and just rename DoJ to the Dept of Crime. But maybe that's too on-the-nose even for him.

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.

can you confirm receipt @patrickhealynyt.bsky.social?

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

From the Dems House Judiciary report:

USPS workers’ greatest concern about Trump’s mail voting plan was a requirement that they reject ballots for an array of reasons. “That’s not what we do. We deliver mail. We don’t decide what goes and what doesn’t.”

they could've moved the Atlanta Hawks vs Cleveland Cavs regular season game to accommodate what could be THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME OF THE FINALS but no... www.nbcnews.com/sports/wnba/...

WATCH: A defense contractor CEO and his close associates donated nearly $900,000 to dozens of politicians and got over $40 million a year in government funding. He told the FBI that Sen. Susan Collins was his most important patron. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqyiFFB7Kjg

And now the Denver B-Gates Tattered Cover Bookstore has signed copies of When the Moon Hits Your Eye, Redshirts, and Old Man's War. Go get them!

Seeing how little coverage that house report that added another rape accusation to Trump's tally got today, I looked back on just the front page Benghazi stories (there were many, many more inside over these months).

Okay, I deleted the original post because people didn't check the link at all and mistook my typo of "young men" seriously. I clearly meant young women. Not sure why this isn't a bigger story, but I read this entire report today. It's gutting. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

It's another day, so let's talk about this. First of all, Lula didn't win the election alone. He won because more than half of the country FREAKED THE FUCK OUT and built a popular movement that organized several actions both irl and online.

Good morning with good news: Solar & batteries cut 2026 summer wholesale prices by 51% in California & by 42% in Texas, compared to 2021! CA saved $2.5 Billion & TX saved $3.55B. Retail generation cost within total retail bill fell by 10% in CA & 4% in TX. seia.org/media/18501/... #energysky

Charleston remains the ONLY North American city to run a uniform, stamped-metal badge system for urban slave labor. These copper badges reveal a larger truth: Charleston licensed, numbered, monitored, and taxed Black labor. Again I ask: Who knew?🤔 I didn't. #KeepItWoke #DedicatedToTam✡️🕊

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️™️ 🧵 In 19th-century Charleston, SC, urban slavery gave rise to a unique and chilling tool of control: Charleston Slave Badges. Who knew? 🤔 Pull up a seat🪑, my friends. #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory relicrecord.com/blog/charles...

RFK talks about autistic and Arabic people the exact same way. He assumes they are not capable of ordinary or extraordinary achievements because of who they are. He considers them sub-human because they are not like him. This makes it plain that his is a white supremacist eugenicist project.

Kinda like Chik-fil-a ads on WNBA reminding me they’re anti-womens rights and it’s good to keep boycotting them.

Here's the topline of my analysis on this afternoon's 2-1 Ninth Circuit ruling in the California ballot case:

Trump depends on the fake credulity of disgraceful hacks like Bumatay who will characterize Trump’s systematic assaults on democracy as attempts to protect it. And Bumatay complies again and again He knows exactly what he’s doing. Shame. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NEW: The group behind Cornel West's 2024 ballot push was wholly funded through Elon Musk's dark money network, according to Sludge's review of tax documents. readsludge.com/2026/10/26/m...

This is to het up the blood of his cretin brigades so they disrupt polling places. No one is ever getting a million bucks out of him.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

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.

Some ~personal~ news: After five years, I have been laid off from @the-independent.com. I am grateful for the time I have had there. With that in mind, I am absolutely looking for new work opportunities, especially ahead if the midterms. My email is EMGarcia2009@gmail.com. My signal is emgarcia.85

Anthropic's IPO filing includes some unusual risk factors, like possibly wiping out humanity, which seems bad. www.sec.gov/Archives/edg...

You don’t get to be an archbishop by being naive and simple. They went to get goodies. They went to get school vouchers. They went to change abortion law. The Trump administration used them right back. They got caught, and now they pretend they weren’t political. #TaxTheChurches

The next 10 days will test our democracy. Trump hasn’t been able to suppress votes systemically like he wanted to & now there's a lot going on, especially in courts. Get caught up on what you need to know now, like recent developments in California and Alaska. joycevance.substack.com/p/trumps-las...

Had to update my post image

Rightwing politics is a smash and grab operation. Crude, violent rhetoric to get attention. Grandiose promises. Chest-pounding to convey energy. Menacing the polls. Once elected, bullying and defiance of all restraint in order to hold power. People are sick of it.

In August, President Trump announced he had signed the “biggest oil deal in world history.” ProPublica reviewed the deal and found it gives a small group of people largely handpicked by the Trump administration long-term control of the enterprise.

This is a pro-solar PAC that is strategically spending to take out vocal opponents of clean energy. They are racking up quite the record. Their CEO will be on Volts this week.

Exactly. bsky.app/profile/muel...

Something that's not being said. The REASON why Blanche and Bill Essayli are so defiantly violating the Constitution is bc John Roberts said they can't be prosecuted so long as they're following Trump's illegal orders. Blanche's criminality arises DIRECTLY out of Trump v. US.

It was disappointing that @60minutes.bsky.social, with all its resources and expertise, broke zero new ground on the Tina Peters story. The report was just a repetition of what local journalists reported long ago.

I have at this point written literally hundreds of stories about Trump since 2015. I make it a point in the bulk of them to point out he was the lead proponent of the racist birther conspiracy. The mainstream media has all but disappeared this yet it is the main reason he became potus.

NEW: Ingram, Texas, was just rebuilding from a devastating flood when its tiny police department enrolled in ICE’s 287(g) deportation program. Within a year, cops would hand over the equivalent of 10% of the town. with @nytimes.com

we hate them so much that we all get together in our cars on the freeway to talk to each other in expletives about how much we hate cars
