for those wondering what's going on with his seeming support for the Bolsonaros, a big change from less than a decade ago, I examined Glenn Greenwald's shifting Brazil politics in OWNED

#Yankees manager Aaron Boone will be returning for 2027, per Pete Caldera. He will go into the season with it being the final year on his current contract with no extension on the horizon at this time.

it's very funny how this guy swears up and down he has no ideological stake in Israel discourse but the minute a performer waves a Palestinian flag onstage he freaks out and doesn't even check his work

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Pretty surreal how sharing a traumatic story about my daughter's birth elicited someone to call it "insane bullshit". I was just trying to contextualize why people are right to call our healthcare system dogshit, and also why you don't have to be an asshole if you disagree.

Eoin Higgins@eoinhiggins.bsky.social

I'd suggest sneering "insane bullshit" at someone for feeling stressed out about having to handle hours on the phone over a half million dollar bill after dealing with a birth and NICU stay is why people can't stand you

could that "paperwork error" be resolved without hours of stressful back and forth on the phone with a massive corporation? I'd say probably not but I'm not as cavalier about this stuff

even setting this stuff aside why would anyone trust Musk on anything he promises about his products at this point, it's a proven record of failure and lies

Josh Sternberg@joshsternberg.com

Genuinely surprised about the slack-jawed response from the Tesla stunt show; the tech press has learned nothing. Elon Musk is a Nazi, white supremacist, and you're still writing about how cool and great this presently useless and unaffordable technology is? Separate the art from the artist? gtfoh

When is? Serious question. Every election has been the most important one ever, so I’ve been told. I’ve seen elected democrats that roll over to big tech, throw trans people under the bus, and won’t oppose genocide and they’re also dogshit at opposing fascism.

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

worth also noting that both the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti happened in her district, and on top of the obviously racist targeting of her personally this is also an attempt to deny the people of Minneapolis their democratically elected representative

cmon we can't do another two years of this, didn't Russiagate teach you guys anything

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

Trump is angrier, more erratic, and more dangerous than ever — and those closest to him know it. How close are we to his own cabinet using the 25th Amendment against him? Here's how it might go down.

Eoin Higgins
@eoinhiggins.bsky.social

setting aside the GOP would never do this the obvious counterpoint is why didn't Biden's Cabinet do it to him? the answer is that partisan politics then were more important than having a president who could draw a clock, just like right now

HSI generally not widely known about threading some reporting I did on them from 8+ years ago

Unnamed DHS spokesperson tells Reuters, “Today in the Washington, D.C. area, Homeland Security Investigations executed ​a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice.” That this is led by HSI is chilling.

People are discussing how Halloween candy is so terrible these days. A reminder that alot of the candy we eat is made with women’s prison labor. Russell Stover’s factory in Kansas busses in 150 women a day via a convict leasing program to staff their candy factory.
