Trump Unleashes Racist Tirade That should be the headline in every newspaper.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving his construction crew to work when an ICE officer shot and killed him in Houston. He wasn’t even the person ICE was looking for. Now Texas voters are leaving their “I Voted” stickers at his memorial. #BlueWaveIn10Days

For #BlackHistoryMonth, we're highlighting the achievements of the Black scientists, mathematicians and engineers who have made their impact on the modern world. Read our thread below.

This is very good. Marcy Wheeler goes through the deals, one by one.

Of course it's not necessarily a sign that they'll break the world... but they might.

From Adam McKay, Woody Harrelson, and @yellowdotstudios.bsky.social, the only true Exxon ad you'll ever see

WTF

Republicans still haven’t learned not to put this shit in the group chat.

The back story on who got Fox to take Zacharia out will be interesting. First they got her placed, then they made sure Hannity and F&F -- Trump's two main shows -- ripped her to shreds. Impressive work, whoever did it.

this is the reason these questions are asked. it doesn't matter how well el-sayed answers, the media get to write a headline with his name and the muslim brotherhood in it. heated, islamist, implications, criticize, disavow, dual loyalty, scary man bad

Holy moly did Aaron Sorkin write this or is this real life?? Treat yourself and watch the whole thing. I want to watch these kinds of interactions for the next 6 years on the national stage. We've got to do our part to help get Abdul to the Senate.

The NYT calls out Trump's treasonous deal with Russia, though not in so many words. Note how the lead implies that this vindicates the "critics" who accurately accused him of being beholden to Putin. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/17/b...

Democrats - it’s time to lock in. We’re a big tent party right now. We might have different ideas on how to get there but we ALL agree on where we’re going. Find a candidate that you like or find the Michigan ONE campaign. Sign up for a door-knocking shift. Let’s go win.

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

Chuck Schumer — one of the most powerful Democrats in the country — has not issued statements to the press or through his social media channels about the administration’s attack on Ilhan Omar, which critics have described as a five alarm fire for the state of democracy in the U.S.

I know there's much tee-hee-ing going on. But the key thing to remember is that Trump named as press secretary a person who championed the bonkers Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracy theories. Now that's crazy.

Big Streaming doesn't want you to know that Kanopy is kind of like Amazon Prime Video except that you have to pay for Prime and Kanopy is free. Oh also Prime shows ads even though you pay for it and Kanopy doesn't show ads even though you don't pay for it. Oh and Bezos doesn't get Kanopy's data.

Sans USAID and the Ukraine Starlink fuckery, it’s tough to argue Musk is much worse than Zuckerberg.

Unbelievable. What a thing for an editor to say

We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

The President is already using every tool at his disposal to intervene in our elections this November.

Canada is refusing to issue ISBNs to books primarily generated with AI. This illustrates both the urgency of the problem of the growing flood of slop books, and also the toothlessness of addressing it on the honor system without there also being consequences for lying

Who's with me?

Trump’s buddy. “Vladimir Putin instructed his generals to abandon the rules of war … in intensified Russian aerial strikes on Kyiv's civilian infrastructure, including schools, hospitals and key bridges.”

Another great one from @doctorow.pluralistic.net. A subject I'm working on lately: "A post-oligarch world can recover industrial capacity by diverting it away from destructive activity (data centers, luxury housing) to essential functions (climate defenses, decent housing for everyday people)." Yes!

We need to show the opportunity costs that the AI bubble and the accumulation of grotesque wealth by a few are exacting on society. Oh the bona fide good things we could be doing for people and the planet!

This seems accurate to me.

A very good discussion about John Roberts and what to do about him.

Here's a funny thing about the right to vote: it wasn't won by voting.

After heavy lobbying and huge donations from Big Tech, Trump killed a proposed Biden-era rule requiring AI companies to disclose their riskiest experiments to federal officials. Everything is for sale. This is worth a read: https://www.levernews.com/ai-regulation-was-coming-then-trump-killed-it/

So Jimmy Kimmel had his wife parody Natalie Harp on his show. She played his unhinged assistant. It was as ridiculously funny as you might imagine.😅

BREAKING: DOJ asks SCOTUS to erase trans people from the law in case over trans care in prison. Solicitor General John Sauer made the alarming, all-encompassing argument — previously covered at Law Dork — to the Supreme Court on Monday morning. Today, at Law Dork:

Rogue in, rogue out.

NEW: ProPublica’s Jake Pearson lost $10,000 mimicking the betting patterns of a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company’s “responsible gaming” safeguards. One week in, he was invited to become a VIP — and faced little pushback as he spiraled.

This would make a great ad for Troy Jackson.

We’ve got to build it before China does.

An urgent must read from the best historian on the founding and the constitution. Today, the lawless Supreme Court took another step toward creating an authoritarian dictator who will use his power to distort elections. Democracy, the plain language of the constitution mean nothing to Roberts et al
