When I was young and Republican, protests (especially about nuclear weapons) were, to me, non-events, because I knew that the no-nukes folks could get 300,000 people into Central Park; I also knew that it would mean jack-squat at the polls. I hope that this year, they mean something.

Putin is meddling in the midterms to help Trump by once again mounting a covert disinformation operation that’s spreading phony sex abuse allegations about a Democrat. Ought to be big news.

He needs to do his fucking job. We are paying him to be the Speaker of the House, third in line for the PresidEncy. He is a LEGISLATOR if anyone forgot to tell hIm. Fucking legislate, you twerp.

My local Trader Joe’s had about 1/3 bare shelves. Some deliveries hadn’t arrived. I suspect the price of diesel. Or possibly southern land-shipping disrupted by floods. Anyone else seeing this?

Colombia, Finland & France just agreed to redirect $500B a year in subsidies harmful to biodiversity — a major step at the UN nature talks. Nature can't wait until 2030, but this is how we fund protection, not destruction. is.gd/4RpIol #Biodiversity #ClimateAction #Nature #COP17

CHOOSE YOUR OVERLORD ― Musk vs. Bezos Nobody voted for either of them. Yet, we've got two men with unfathomable power and an unshakable faith that they’re destined to shape the world. ―Josh Tyrangiel Gift Link👇🏾 www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202... bsky.app/profile/nana... #PINKS

Flávio Bolsonaro has been banned from leaving Brazil and ordered to surrender his passports following his presidential election defeat, amid investigations into suspected influence-peddling, money laundering and other alleged financial irregularities.

Even with all the levers of power he has his hands on, and even with control of every mechanism in the federal government, Trump has been unable to find election fraud. So he's crowdsourcing it now.

Take note, US voters, students. Resistance works, perseverance works, protests work.

I haven’t slept a full night in three weeks ahead of the polls opening in Brazil today. I might be shouting into a void here, but if you can spare a few seconds to send good energy towards our elections today and for the largest country in South America to beat fascism, please do so. 🇧🇷

Monsters. 🇮🇱

Sadly, it remains illegal to murder the neighbor’s teenagers over loud music. :wistful sigh: (fbi-this is a joke)

I’m pretty good at failure, but I think even I would’ve done a better job as president than the one we’ve got.

Weird celebrating Halloween now that there are scary masked murderers walking the streets every day.

Yesssssss!

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

The next 10 days will be monumental, with elections in Serbia, Brazil, Israel and the US. This one was a victory for democracy.

I hate it when crossword puzzles rely on knowing a sports figure’s name.

Its AI generated but resonated. Watch at 1.75 speed though. to me these 10 unbearable circumstances do a pretty good job of describing the general ambience in the United States right now. I’m not accomplished enough to be a polymath, but I do have some polymathic tendencies youtu.be/UNlkZ6_Vceg

Not sure about that. But, I don't miss him when he's not dominating the news.

It’s rare to find a photo that matches the verbiage of a political meme so perfectly. This is one example of it.

You cannot use Instagram or Facebook without being complicit in fascism.
