So @lilianasegura.bsky.social and I just co-wrote a piece about the bodycam footage in the Kohan Wiley case. theintercept.com/2026/10/23/k...

We've all seen the young Albanian Urban Mages casting elemental spells at the riot cops, but this video shows a herd of cops getting absolutely wrecked by the business end of that barrage of magic www.reddit.com/r/ROI/commen...

Solidarity with anyone facing state repression is how we build strong movements. We have to keep our eyes on instances of repression like this, amplify it, and support in materials ways wherever we can. www.daylightsandiego.org/ice-raids-ho...

Odd headline. Hi @newyorker.com, the cockroach protests are a glimmer of hope for the survival of democracy in India. Millions in the country are suffering under the weight of 12 years of gross incompetence and authoritarian tendencies of the Modi government. Peoples' power and protest = democracy

"Double Tap" means that the Israeli military drops a bomb, waits for EMT's or civilians to rush in and try to help the people who are hurt, and then bombs the rescuers. In this case, one of those trying to help was a 15 year old boy. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s...

There’s an argument in the comments about when public executions stopped, but like… State actors have been executing people in public, with little consequence or holding them accountable, for a very long time.

The 1992 PBA riot still looms pretty large over any attempts at major reforms to the department. People aren't gonna like it, but he's gonna need an extremely strong hand if wants to confront the PD head-on and win

Tbf he’s always kind of been this way. Dude came out throwing absolute Miz smoke in 2020 to the point where Perdue refused to show up for the last two debates. I don’t think he’s picked the lane so much as he genuinely fucking hates these people

Despite at least 10 arrests and the destruction of the tree at the center of the protest, the standoff continues.

The mayor of Saint-Denis, Bally Bagayoko, literally used himself as a human shield to protect students from police violence

Good read from Yemeni experts on recent Houthi incursions into Taiz

Now remember, the ideologies go as follows: - PQ: Right wing nationalists - PLQ: Everyone who failed French in school - CAQ: Discredited right wing nationalists - PCQ: Right wing nationalists worth most in Scrabble - QS: Left wing nationalists, but all their voters are liberal federalists.

Protesters had protected the tree for more than 70 days. It was cut down Monday to make way for a double border wall

brings me no joy to say that Fukuyama nailed it

About 30 million voters appear not to have voted though.

I mean I don’t blame folks for not knowing what it means…I sure blame them for lecturing me about it when they don’t know what it means though.

He became president of the Teamsters (over Jimmy Hoffa Jr's chosen successor) with the support of a rank and file reform movement to make the Teamsters less Like That (at least as I understand it). He doesn't seem to be working out so well.

How much does it cost to get more information about a cop who punched someone in the face? If you guessed anything lower than $2.5 million, you’d be wrong — at least according to the city of Eugene, Oregon. buff.ly/AlxYU8S

I have been banned from every grocery store in town due to pissing and shitting in the aisles and blaming the cashiers. My strategy for eating food, after the one source of food has said I'm not allowed in, is to simply keep eating food at the same rate as before - forever.

I have some food in my pantry, which I assume is a bottomless, infinite cornucopia of exactly the ingredients I need. Barring that, I can scrounge from dumpsters or beg for scraps. This is undoubtedly equivalent to the previous situation of unfettered access to a wide variety of grocery stores.

In another case of press repression, Egyptian police arrested two editors from the Matsda2sh platform, Mohamed Ashraf and Abdullah Qadri, on September 28 after raiding their homes and confiscating their phones and laptops. 🧵

should be instructive for democrats that Magyar is living up to his promise to prosecute Orban officials for corruption and is continuing to poll extremely highly

What's happened to crude oil flows from the Middle East since the US war on Iran began? 🛢️ Has Iran effectively choked off the Strait of Hormuz? Or is the Strait now basically open as the US claims? & what's happened to other exit routes? Here's a helpful way of visualising it...📊 👇1/8

Sheriffs & DAs have huge powers over criminal justice, e.g.: often deciding how much local assistance ICE gets. So I worked all year on whittling down the thousands (!) of these races happening in 2026 to find the ones that matter most. NEW TODAY: Learn about the 25 most pivotal November races.

I’m so angry I wrote an article: In Germany, fascist majorities are a real possibility again, but the centrist merger of a revived Red Scare with open racism shows that mainstream media & politics are unable or unwilling to comprehend the seriousness of the crisis tribunemag.co.uk/2026/09/germ...

"And sometimes he makes up stories out of thin air to justify working for Palantir—like that line about the medical debt. His parents don’t have any, nor are they ill." Oh, so the women were right? It's a red flag? Speaks to a mindset of "get what I want and fuck everyone else"? He's a liar? Hmm

This is a really good piece.
