Thread 🧵: the fraudulent transgender mailers have a connection back to Dallas, Texas, where a local Republican megadonor used a similar playbook years ago when he funded a fake BLM group to send letters to wealthy white parents that were designed to discredit the BLM movement.

CBS identified Illinois based Three Z Printing as the holder of the permit associated with the fake transgender mailers. One of the owners, Matt Zerrusen, is based in Dallas. His Instagram shows pictures with Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump, and comments from local Republicans.

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.

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...

If the cops get to park illegally and blow thru stop lights then the mayor gets to use their gym as his personal gym. Fair is fair.

New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility. w/ @grahamrayman.bsky.social & Joe Anuta www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

this also drives me mad about Aussie unis. we have extremely well-compensated DVCs and Presidents but they never lay it out to the public in clear terms.

The single most important thing for you to know before you cast your ballot in California is that Sonja Shaw, running for the nonpartisan Superintendent of Public Instruction office, is a MAGA-aligned Moms for Liberty transphobic piece of shit. Thank you for your time.

this was flagged for intolerance by an embarrassing cringe gender person

Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.

The fact that we've agreed to call these gambling sites "prediction markets" furthers their bullshit. They predict nothing and it's a disgrace that news orgs have partnered with them and pretend they have news value. THEY'RE JUST A BUNCHA LOSERS GAMBLING.

Jenny Cohn@jennycohn.bsky.social

How pathetic. This pro-Bolsonaro Brazilian official relied on the Thiel-backed prediction market (Polymarket) to suggest that Flavio Bolsonaro had won his debate against President Lulu (who just defeated Bolsonaro in the election.) Because Polymarjet is “real” info. 🙄 1/ x.com/delegadorama...

oh good he's refusing to concede, that always turns out great and doesn't at all give me the shudders for both Brazil and Nov 2028 USA

But mink farming is my way of life, my father farmed mink and his father farmed mink and that means you should subsidize me as a mink farmer, and also tolerate my voting against libraries, because it is my way of life

Rip Rowan@riprowan.bsky.social

as a musician reading about the struggles of domestic mink farming in the face of near zero market demand I suggest they try selling t-shirts or bumper stickers to support their hobby

A good name for a Facts of Life tribute band is Death Cab For Tootie. A better name for a Facts of Life tribute band is Blair Supply.

once again, solidarity and love to my friends who are survivors of sexual violence, especially CSA - I guess it's not surprising that the discourse is toxic when the halls of power are absolutely full to brimming with predators and their enablers

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

Jake Grumbach@jakemgrumbach.bsky.social

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

Ryan Fonseca@ryan-fonseca.bsky.social

It's a choice (a bad one) to tell readers this driver "passed too close to cyclists" when there's video evidence showing he drove his car into them, made contact and hurt someone. Fellow journalists: we can explore the nuances of punishment for drivers without obfuscating their dangerous behavior.

maybe the agency could be called something like the Federated Emergency Management Agency

Derek Powazek@fraying.bsky.social

"The Trump administration plans to launch 'national mutual aid,' whereby states help each other recover from damaging storms, floods, wildfires and other events, Hamilton told state emergency management leaders." YOU MEAN LIKE A BUNCH OF STATES THAT ARE UNITED? A UNITED STATES?

just gross shit people behavior

Jay Willis@jaywillis.net

Polymarket allowed users to bet on whether any one of the 7 defendants in the Cornell rape case will be charged with a felony sex crime and the market did almost HALF A MILLION DOLLARS IN VOLUME

We also have these people in Australia and it makes me froth at the mouth and talk about global conspiracies (because it’s an honest to goodness global conspiracy)

also I am so sorry, reasonable Albertans, that you are having such a tense night.

ginger@gingerest.bsky.social

my money is on Alberta not separating nor voting on separating because if preliminary polling suggested it, ole Dani would be front and centre gloating, instead of hiding under a rock

The Mississippi AG says police are justified for killing a baby because someone thought his mother shoplifted diapers that she paid for. The police have refused to release body cam footage. Fuck everything about this story.
