NEW YORK TIMES: “A commission of United Nations human rights experts said Monday Israel was committing genocidal acts against Palestinian civilians in Gaza despite a cease-fire agreement, and carrying out crimes against humanity in the West Bank.” www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/w...

I really think everyone needs to pay attention to this coordinated campaign to delegitimize Muslim Americans - not just as citizens but as humans. These increasingly hysterical attacks are a prelude to Republicans bringing us to a very, very dark place after the election.

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

The word for this is racism

🔥 @jessicatarlov.bsky.social: “Obama lives rent-free in Trump’s mind— everyone knows the decor in the Cheesecake Factory is gawdy… When Trump says ‘WE’ are making so much money on oil, the ‘WE’ he’s talking about is HIM.”

WOW: Mississippi Democratic Senate candidate Scott Colom says he went DIRECTLY to Trump's rally and spoke with people waiting in line. Some weren't even there to support Trump. One told him they were attending because there was “nothing else to do” — but planned to VOTE FOR COLOM.

Another story impossible to imagine in any other administration: the president's son goes hunting with a Russian criminal who is part of Putin's security entourage

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

Check out how easy this is.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

The latest Truth Social post from the president of the United States.

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

Ohio’s biggest newspaper broke its own rules to endorse Amy Acton, calling Ramaswamy’s vile attack ad disqualifying. “Using childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it crosses a line Ohioans should defend, whatever their party.” thedailybeast.com/trumps-maga-...

Protest works. Organization is decisive. Draw your own conclusions. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Hope it was worth it @billmaher Trump also mocks Maher for forcing his audience to laugh at his bad jokes — guess Trump’s right about something after all🙃

It's insane that the campaign against El-Sayed is basically that he has some secret relationship with the people that the president's family has a secret relationship with.

Brazil rejected Bolsonaro. Serbia's students beat Vučić. Machado is home in Venezuela. What a day for democracy.

what a night

A stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, whose government cultivated close ties with Donald Trump and his family, has conceded defeat to a student-led opposition movement in a historic parliamentary election.

This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.

Jon Husted played for a Division III school.

The Utah Republican Party is mailing voters a near-copy of a 2024 attack on Democrats over transgener issues. Same slogan. Same red and blue color scheme. Same stock photo of a girl at a locker. utahpolitics.news/utah-gop-rec...

Gaslighting 101: The AG is literally calling us crazy for thinking Trump will use the levers of government power to overturn the results of an election, when he has a documented history of doing just that. That’s tyranny.

The Justice Department represents the United States of America, not the president. That’s what White House counsel is for. 

NEW: Plaintiffs suing to halt Trump closure & renaming of Kennedy Center submit court filing arguing Team Trump is shielding 100s of records showing "Trump’s ongoing, direct management of the Kennedy Center", including Kennedy Ctr staff messages to Natalie Harp & Howard Lutnick

Trump admin arrests Colorado priest. Incarcerates him for over a year. Judge orders him released without charges. They release him without the wheelchair he needs -- other prisoners have to bodily carry him out. He's now being tested for latent TB: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/colo...

Trump says Alaska’s ballot is illegal because people don’t know what “incumbent” means

I can save you some time. He doesn't name ONE SINGLE ISSUE. When asked to name what people are concerned about, he's got NOTHING. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Obama argues that we won’t fix our political problems unless we rediscover our moral compass first

Big W by the Utes last night — LET’S GOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Racism, bigotry, plain and simple.👇

It should have been all over when he said, “find 11,780 votes.”

“Nobody invokes the Insurrection Act over people walking down the street with signs. It doesn't happen.” 🙄 Trump and his allies are *openly* floating using the Insurrection Act to seize voting machines or ballots in order to upend an election they expect to lose.
