Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed individuals can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Margaret Mead

As a former teacher, I never scrubbed in for a gender reassignment surgery, but I did instruct the kids on how to get the window screens off in case of an active shooter…

If Brazil can reject Trump, the Broligarchs and right-wing authoritarianism, so can we.

Another story impossible to imagine in any other administration: the president's son goes hunting with a Russian criminal who is part of Putin's security entourage

🚨 FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA VOTERS! More than 7K voters had their registrations flagged over questions about their residential addresses, & the ACLU is raising serious concerns about errors. Check your voter status NOW. If it says “Challenged,” contact Fulton County Elections.

All other criticisms aside here, it’s insane because there’s one senate seat they can’t afford to lose the whole party is smearing 500 million people.

A lovely appreciation of Ann Hornaday from @tyburr.bsky.social this morning. Worth reading for a fuller glimpse of her as a critic and human being: www.tyburrswatchlist.com/ann-hornaday...

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

Off the charts Trump family corruption. Kushner got Billions of foreign funds, while spearheading foreign policy. And the Hunter Biden hunters are silent. @MarshaBlackburn

Robert F. Kennedy Sr. spent his time in government fighting *against* racist bigots who said these exact same things, except their rants were against “Africans”

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

WATCH: A defense contractor CEO and his close associates donated nearly $900,000 to dozens of politicians and got over $40 million a year in government funding. He told the FBI that Sen. Susan Collins was his most important patron. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqyiFFB7Kjg

Both false and racist

Not on the New York Times home page apparently, but it is on the People home page.

Big Brother is watching, but now we can watch Big Brother right back. I love that MapQuest is flipping the script. Apple Maps, where you at?!

Wow!

🚨BREAKING: A federal appeals court rejected DOJ's extraordinary request to bypass the district court in its effort to bar California from counting the ballots of around 20,000 people the Trump administration alleges are “likely” noncitizens. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

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.

Sherrod Brown greets FIRED UP overflow crowd in Dayton 👏👏

I dont know if it's because they love republicans and want them to win but holy crap is this an embarrassment. the equivalent of reckless disregard in terms of journalism fuck ups. Just the simplest damn googling.

One man at a Jefferson County commission meeting this month said money budgeted for a now-ended contract with Flock should instead go to hiring another sheriff’s deputy. “That’s where we should have our money going. Actual humans solving actual crimes.”

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

I guess he doesn’t disagree about the Saddam Hussein part?

Farmers across America are on track to spend an extra $2.4 billion on diesel alone this year, thanks to Trump’s unconstitutional war with Iran. Just plain wrong—one of the many reasons I’m working to rein in this illegal war.

He destroyed his country, maybe they want him to destroy the UN as well?

right wing nationalist authoritarians on the run: first Hungary, now Serbia and Brazil, next Israel, and then America. Let's do this.

Good question🤔...

Lula’s win is the first good news for the planet in a while! I bet it shaves a tenth of a degree off how hot our earth eventually gets, which will save millions of lives Thank you Brazil!

If the Unabomber had Twitter.

It's insane that the campaign against El-Sayed is basically that he has some secret relationship with the people that the president's family has a secret relationship with.

One down.✌️ #Lula

It’s notable that Elon Musk does so many weird things he largely gets a pass for running a super eugenic breeding program.

Lonnie Rouse worked at the Hanford nuclear site for nearly 20 years. It was so toxic, he said, that the floor once melted the rubber off his boots. Now he needs 24-hour care. The DOE has appealed his workers’ compensation claim more than 20 times.

Culver City’s vice mayor says lowering the voting age in local elections could strengthen civic engagement and voting habits. “We are at an existential moment for democracy in this county. And here we have people who are ready and willing to be engaged.”
