I don’t believe Bernie Sanders is flawless or completely devoid of ego, and if he pulls a Fetterman I will be as done with him as the centri-est centrist here. But if you honestly believe he’s responsible for getting Trump elected—in 2016 OR 2024—feel free to unfollow and/or block me.

🧊😵 The death at Otay Mesa would bring the known number of deaths this year in ICE custody to 30. In 2025, a total of 33 people died in ICE custody, the highest number on record.

This is what I meant when I said in 2024 that when I looked at the incoming administration, all I could see was rape. It’s the heinous act itself, yes, but also a mentality, as deftly explained here:

After refueling in Ireland (yes, Irish people called the gardaí), this ICE removal flight landed in India. Migrant passengers onboard were shackled at the ankles, wrists, and waist for at least 20 hours. Expecting two more private jet ICE flights to leave Mesa, AZ today. Follow this thread.

FLASHBACK — Republican Paul Weyrich (co-founder of the Heritage Foundation & ALEC): “I don’t want everybody to vote… our leverage in elections goes up as the voting populace goes down.” They’ve been saying it out loud for years. Please vote. 🗳️ 🇺🇸

Imagine posting this as a government spokesperson and *not* being immediately placed on administrative leave, and facing termination for cause. In the Before Times™️

Please join La Resistencia and friends at the King County Council Meeting tomorrow October 27 to let authorities know safety rules must be enforced for King County Airport's deportation flights. We're asking folks to dress up for Halloween to show our voices will be heard regardless of holidays.

At least 18 early voting centers in rural Alaska have not opened as of Friday, state Sen. Bill Wielechowski says. The commonality? All the affected areas have at least a 60% Alaska Native population — with nearly a dozen having Alaska Native populations upwards of 90%: https://demdock.com/4yTW5Ze

A lot of people need to slow down and acknowledge to themselves that they're afraid, and this is affecting how they are interacting with other people. You have to acknowledge the reality of your feelings, or you won't control how they shape your behavior.

In terribly sad news, Tetsuya Chiba (1939-2026) has passed away. Best known for "Ashita no Joe" (あしたのジョー), "Notari Matsutaro" (のたり松太郎), "Akane-chan" (あかねちゃん) and many other shonen and shojo series. His death is an astronomical loss to the manga world.

"Flávio has given up." A Bolsonaro family adviser tells The Washington Post he’s terrified his father, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, will DIE IN JAIL, and that he could be jailed himself THIS WEEK. Flávio effectively conceded defeat after Trump stopped short of intervening, per WaPo

Big win! Today a judge ordered that the former BK Dems chair and allies must respect the courts and stop the charade of operating under rules that were repeatedly struck down. He also ordered they can't keep wasting party funds to drag out this legal fight. iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewD...

So far, remarkably high turnout by young Black voters in Georgia. Eye-popping chart.

Trump is heckled for a third time at his speech in Mississippi: "SHOVE THAT BALLROOM UP YOUR FAT ASS!!"

Julie K. Brown at the Miami Herald is still doing the heavy lifting on keeping the story alive. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

everyone should start loading up a lot of sleep to get thru the night on November 3

Our $2M investment in the Sea Cliffs Exhibit Renovation Project has gotten a pretty clear seal of approval.

Two things one hears often in Left spaces: "They've got money, we've got people" + "to pay for it, tax the rich." But the fuller, more powerful truth is that the Left can build monetary power—for money is a product of politics. Public finance is the terrain of struggle that connects to all others.

"In order to change someone’s mind, you have to change their life. You have to change their network of friends and connections. You need to change the experiences they’ve had in the world," says @sarahsteinlubrano.bsky.social.

Lina Khan on Mamdani: "One thing we saw the mayor be very attentive to is all sorts of daily nickel and diming -- taking on junk fees, subscription traps. Those can seem very micro and targeted, but in the aggregate I see those as really designed to take on unfair methods of competition."

it feels truly insane that it’s not

Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far. I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives. I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent. Go vote like we’re down 3%.

NEW: I'm joining a coalition of AGs demanding answers from Meta for suspending the No Kings Coalition's Instagram during nationwide protests. Meta must protect legitimate political activity of its platforms. We won't let Big Tech censor activism ahead of Election Day.

Early voting just crossed 30 million That’s 30 million Americans casting ballots before Election Day, while Trump’s DOJ unsuccesfully runs around trying to throw ballots out The courts are one line of defense -- the ballot box is the strongest one, & your vote is how we hold it -TN

Reuters: US APPEALS COURT DENIES TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S REQUEST TO STOP CALIFORNIA FROM COUNTING MAIL BALLOTS FROM ALLEGED NONCITIZENS

Thank you, Waterville and @warren.senate.gov We’ve got 8 days to flip this seat and bring this home. Early voting ends THURSDAY. Let’s do this.

LINA KHAN: “This @nycmayor administration has shown a willingness to confront powerful interests.” How @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social’s affordability agenda is centering workers, not the rich and powerful.

Big Angie Angie.  8 days to go, and Absent Ashley keeps going further into hiding.  Y’all know what to do. Let’s send Moody home.  Vote on or before Nov. 3 for ANGIE NIXON: Angie4Us.com/early

.@mainewomenslobby.bsky.social came out and endorsed me last week. They’ve never done that for a U.S. Senate race before. It's a huge honor.

One of those moments I'll never forget.
