Chicago mayoral candidate George Cardenas accidentally made publicly available the home addresses, birth years & voting histories of more than 1.5M Chicago voters as part of his campaign website, large portions of which appear to have been generated by AI, @illinoisanswers.bsky.social reports

"Who would you vote for?" 🔴 Moderate Republicans Who Is In Favor Of Cutting Spending And Reducing The Deficit: 52% 🌹 Democratic Socialist Who Is In Favor Of Raising Taxes On Billionaires, Medicare-for-all, And Abolishing ICE: 48% YouGov / Oct 26, 2026

Regular reminder that when you go to things while sick, you are giving those germs to people with autoimmune disorders, you’re passing them to someone’s newborn, to someone’s elderly parents. It’s “just a cold” to you but it can and does severely impact countless people.

CTA’s Safe Ride Specialists are out on the system now! Teams on designated stretches of the Blue, Green and Red lines complement Chicago Police Department and Cook County Sheriff’s Police officers and K-9 security guards—another layer of support for a safe, welcoming ride.

There's nuance here about "how do we use platforms owned by the fascists". You *have to understand the political purpose of the platforms* in order to use them to subvert authoritarians. For the most part, Americans simply do not. Centrists (including DNC consultants) do not. Major media does not.

Over 294,250 families in Gaza don't have any sort of shelter that can protect them from winter storms. Available shelter supplies can reach just 18% of those in need, as the Israeli government is currently blocking 8,600 emergency shelter kits from entering Gaza.

I don't understand why people ever watched the H3 podcast. Like none of these people are funny or likeable, and they don't even seem to like each other. Someone is going to have to explain what made any of this compelling

We won not only against Bolsonaro, but against the full force of the USian's Big Techs, Meta, CIA, Trump, the Brazilian right-wing elites, the billionaires' press and more.

Presidente Lula, por favor, coloque este homem na câmara de explosão de pênis e faça com que o pênis dele exploda IMEDIATAMENTE

boy it sure seems like the main threat to democracy everywhere across the globe is right wing media and certain social media companies

White nationalism or the U.S. Constitution.

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

This is why the US will never win the world cup

WE DID IT. I CANT FUCKING BELIEVED WE DEFEATED USA WE DEFEATED A COUP WE DEFEATED META WE DEFEATED EVERYONE WHO TRIED TO SILENCE BRAZILIA PEOPLE LULA WON GUYS. THE PEOPLE WON.

I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.

Best day for democracy worldwide in quite some time: Brazil’s center-left president won the runoff in an upset, blocking the far-right from gaining unified power. Serbia’s right-wing authoritarian government finally lost control of parliament after more than a decade in power

Chicago beating DC on having the wokest Brazilians

It seems impossible for our political system to hold the politicians tied to the actual invasion of our Capitol to account, but any random Muslim candidate is reflexively labeled a terrorist.

waow (basedbasedbasedbasedbased)

My numerous critiques of Obeezy aside, he did Abdul a solid by campaigning in Detroit when Black voters in Michigan supposedly feel very disengaged (if reporting is to be believed) and he lost the Black vote in the primary 2-1 (but oddly won the black vote in Grand Rapids? lol)

Absolutely disgusting, but what can we expect from an adjudicated rapist and a congenital liar?

@katmabu.bsky.social is helping candidates across the country organize in a way that helps people whether their campaigns win or lose. Kinda weird to imagine politics being… inspiring?

Saw an old guy with the craziest drip today

Democrats recruiting bland upper-class centrist veterans for swing districts at the expense of every other kind of candidate is a strategy that mostly has downsides but one key upside is those people all think Hegseth is the antichrist and want to be on the team of impeachment managers at his trial.

Sydney Sweeney reveals in an interview that she doesn’t care about the PHP vulnerability because she moved everything to Rust in 2024. “They said the rewrite would take six months. We’re on month 30. We haven’t shipped a feature since, but I’m having a very normal Wednesday.”

The only thing drivers hate more than driving is the suggestion that sometimes they should not drive

Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!

By covering up the murder of Laquan McDonald, a 17-year-old black boy, to secure his 2015 re-election and then cowardly refusing to face Chicago voters in 2019 after the exposed coverup made him a pariah, yeah sure okay Rahm never technically "lost" but Laquan lost. Chicagoans lost. That's worse.

Proud to have the support of these powerful leaders.

A delivery truck does not need a parking minimum. It needs a place to load. Good curb policy can make space for deliveries, accessible access, customers, bikes + buses without requiring every property to build more parking. Match the tool to the problem. parkingreform.org/resources/co...

Not for nothing but PBS does election night coverage and we work really really really hard on it. Union shop as well!

Spoiler alert: NO!

Oh. Ok.

I'm in the West Bank this week as part of the “Protect the Harvest” coalition along with Israelis for Peace, Unarmed Civilian Protection in Palestine & Protect the Harvest.

Throwback to when I tried to make a website tracking all of the conservative politicians and organizers charged with or convicted of sex crimes and I tapped out shortly after Reuben Verastigui because there were just so many it was impossible to keep track of

Theyve lost red eagle over the ad

We actually shamed Mike Lee’s chief of staff wow
