Some context around this, from a markets person. Historically in LatAm, leftist victories have led to sharp losses over the ~3 months after an election where the left wins. Stocks also typically underperformed into those victories. But 3y post-election, returns for leftists have been *higher*.
It's very, very telling, I think, that the markets are so concerned about the pro-democracy incumbent winning

Yeah TBH I think the left needs to crush John Samuelson's mob as a lesson for what happens to chud unions that defect.
TWU be like “Hochul is MAGA because she doesn’t support our MAGA union” in reality, they’re just mad at Hochul because she refused to expand the union’s expensive handouts and make-work jobs funded with taxpayer $$
I've been very careful about how I talk about this because, you know, I'm not a Black person and I don't live in Roxbury, but this has gotten to the point where I have to question whether all this is being done in good faith.
The Boston City Council subpoenaed the MBTA’s top leader. Attorneys say enforcing it could get messy. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/10/27/m... @nikigriswold.bsky.social @ditikohli.bsky.social

I'm not criticizing those who are showcasing the accomplishments of scientists, artists, and writers to debunk RFK Jr.'s comments but I think it's also important to treat them not as ignorance, but as the outright malice they are. He made those comments to claim a US citizen is unfit for the Senate.

We should all let this company know how we feel about their partnership with ICE.
Good news everybody - rather than being chased-down by skeletal human-shaped robots, cf. #Terminator2, we will actually be chased-down by adorable dog-shaped robots ... 🤖 (Thanks to @jeremyhsu.bsky.social for the heads-up)

The Miami Herald also reported it as a top headline. Everywhere else? Crickets.
yesterday a Congressional committee released evidence from the Epstein files that President Trump raped more than 2 dozen different women, and the only national paper to report it as a top headline is People Magazine !?!?!! (I know how we got here, but how did we...) people.com/former-miss-...
Bare minimum the shadow docket has to be killed. This genuinely is unacceptable.
For the 1st time in US history SCOTUS has more rulings on its shadow docket -- unsigned and with no opinions -- than it has cases where it has heard oral arguments and issued signed rulings. IOW they are hiding their deliberations while stealing our democracy. www.propublica.org/article/supr...

Before 2016 they all would have wanted to break the big October Surprise. And that's their job, frankly. Now they'll do it only if it hurts the Dems.
The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

During Trump's first campaign in 2016 a few pieces of reporting came out indicating that he had long used bribery and bullying to advance his business interests and some included comments that suggested he'd also used blackmail. As Radley says, shit he's been doing his entire life.
It's really damning. The accusations are numerous and well-supported. But I was really struck by the descriptions of Trump's behavior -- the name dropping, strong-arming, and attempts to buy off silence. His gross rivalry with Epstein. It's all so familiar. It's shit he's been doing his entire life.

did any of these people google the countries they were moving to

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Also Nithya will be a good mayor and I kind of don't give a shit if she's a social democrat instead of a democratic socialist. DSA-LA decided to go into this eyes open about the fact that Nithya is not a cadre candidate or a committed ideologue about socialism, they can cook.

TBH I think it's fortunate, because vetoing a chapter's overwhelming endorsement vote is organization-breaking in the absence of essentially criminal misconduct by the candidate.
it's very unfortunate that the NPC has totally fucked up what at one point was a slam dunk case (Raman had an awful record on Palestine before this year) and now they're probably going to revoke her endorsement on the flimsiest pretext they could have, pissing everyone off in doing so

"...inviting businesses to hoard labour and sink more investment into a fundamentally obsolescent technology is not the solution." Seem obvious.
