A friendly reminder to celebrate the wins when you can. 👏
Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.
‼️ This is important. If you can, don’t wait until the last minute to vote. Check when early voting opens in your state at vote.org/early-voting-calendar and plan accordingly.
Attn: USPS changes mean your ballot may not be postmarked the same day you mail it. Don’t wait until Election Day! Deadlines vary by state. Some require ballots to ARRIVE by Election Day, not just be postmarked.

Each party’s closing arguments are in, and the ads they’re running in this final stretch tell us a lot about where things stand heading into November 3. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/2026-midte...
The Democratic Party’s biggest names are all on the trail leading up to Election Day. Obama in Ohio and Michigan. Harris in Mississippi. Clinton in Florida. Sanders and AOC in Maine. And the early votes, forecasts and generic ballots are all pointing in one direction. Let’s keep it going! 👏
Trump’s DOJ sued California, threatened election officials with jail time, and staged arrests in the final days before the midterm elections. Legal experts say the lawsuit will go nowhere, but the goal was never to win in court. @readthebigpicture.bsky.social explains what the goal actually is.

This week’s Just for Skeets and Giggles is out! Have a great weekend. statuskuo.substack.com/p/just-for-s...
That went over like a lead balloon 😬
Puritanical? Or does he have a point?
What do you think? Did the punishment fit the crime?
Two weeks until midterms and the closing arguments are in. Ramaswamy exploited his opponent’s trauma in an ad Trump praised. Big names hit the trail for Democrats. And in a gross display of groveling, Witkoff called Putin a humanitarian hours before Russia bombed Kyiv. Let's unpack it all.

Following backlash to Shane Gillis' controversial Saturday Night Live monologue, a viral social media prompt asking people to imitate right-wing male comedians inspired a flood of satirical jokes.

The second-hand cringe is through the roof.
A campaign ad should tell voters what a candidate stands for. Too often this year, we’ve seen personal smears, fearmongering, and attacks on the vulnerable. From exploiting Amy Acton’s childhood trauma to Musk-funded anti-trans ads, the politics of fear is on full display.
