This week’s main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you “a very young boy.”
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.
This loser out here every day proving billionaires are a crime against humanity, and can not exist in a functioning society. The only thing that makes them special is their limitless greed and their ability to lie and manipulate people.
Breaking News!
Code UFB!!!
It takes 2 weeks to confirm ocean sea surface temperatures and the long wait is finally over. The first day in recorded history with Nino 3.4 SST at or above 30.0°C is now officially on the record.
October 7, 2026: 30.000°C.

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story.

What Google did in Finland is vile. Are Ai videos of animals really worth the lives of actual animals? I swear this bubble can't pop soon enough. What are we even doing here at this point?

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...
Funny just how fast after ending regulations in the US, Google went from "do no evil", to, "do all evil". Almost as if without government oversight corporate greed will destroy everything.
At least we will have Ai to show us what life used to look like. /s
Don’t agonize — organize to make sure our win is too big to rig. We’re contacting voters in battleground states and districts every day: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...
The Republican Party has become so utterly fucking vile I hardly even know what to say any more. If you support this kind of shit, you're just a bad person and should feel bad about yourself. I don't know whether that's "helpful messaging" but it's the truth.
News just broke that Elon Musk made a $1 billion investment in the Ellison family's Skydance, which owns CBS and CNN. Anoher step toward right-wing "media capture," as I wrote about recently in my Stop the Presses newsletter.
"The 124 countries that increased emissions — not counting the 63 that decreased like most European nations — added 189 million tons of carbon dioxide in 2025, and 70% of that increase came from the U.S., according to the report."
The cost of ending renewables, while going all in on Ai.
Our federal tax dollars aren't paying for anything anymore except corporate subsidies and billionaire graft.
Red states are more likely than blue states to be broke and fucked under this policy. Morons.

This is why Elon punished Zelenskyy by slowing down star link. They struck the best weapon Musk has against accountability. Russian data centers. This is why they want more data centers. To flood the zone with bots, in order to manipulate the markets and to sway the public narrative in their favor.
These data centers will be used to oppress us, and prevent any meaningful discussion about improving our lives, from ever happening. They will be used to do the same in other democracies. They are about as dangerous as any other weapon you could think of.

I prefer a leader that isn't a delusional, greed driven, psychopath, and a government that was not full of delusional, greed driven, psychopath enablers.
How do you function with the daily media gaslighting, while knowing the only people the president cares about, exist only in his own head.
Russia, Russia, Russia was not a hoax.
Trump signed an EO tonight
exempting Russia from new sanctions legislation that Congress passed last month. The law was designed to squeeze the financial lifelines sustaining Russia's war against Ukraine. Gift link. 👇

Friday night. The time to sneak through the things you know the public will hate. Also the ones that are probably illegal and traitorous. Trump is opening the floodgates of support for the Kremlin, Putin, their illegal aggression against Ukraine...and their aid to Iran in their war against us.
so restricting Ukraine's Starlink was Musk's idea, but after Moscow took advantage he became "alarmed about the possibility of adverse consumer reaction in Europe" to the "night of carnage" and denied responsibility
I mean, it sounds like typical Elon
Trump's DHS raiding and trying to strip the citizenship of Ilhan Omar just weeks before the election is fascism, pure and simple
If his thugs can do this to a member of Congress, they can do it to you too.
I stand with @ilhanmn.bsky.social.
Grown ass white men who look fresh from a line up, holding signs that say "Defend our future", like some kind of children's telethon, is some top shelf cringe.
Only in America are mass shootings in schools a regular occurrence.
Kids endure active shooter drills.
They never get to enjoy a sense of safety.
Yet America refuses to deal with the guns.
They value the second amendment over the lives of their own children:
In case you missed it: A bestselling Irish novelist can no longer receive royalties from UK book sales because of her declared support for Palestine Action. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
Our treasonous POTUS, and the richest man in the world are punishing Ukraine for interfering with their plans. The latter is using Russian bots and social media to undermine democracy, while the former gives aid and comfort to our enemies, by purchasing their goods.
