Lmfao who are thee anonymous sources? Like, what's the problem here?

Today's UnSpun is a global election special. From 90+ prior episodes, I extracted a small, easy-to-understand series of steps to sort the wheat from the chaff in your own newsfeed and how to talk to others about theirs. bit.ly/UnSpunPod

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Soon, if we don't shape the hell up

72 letters. That’s all between us and 43,000 Americans telling Congress to impeach John Roberts. He’ll never face a voter. He’s about to face us. Who’s sending the 43,000th? actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

But isn't Microsoft a big AI company? I was told that AI would make everybody wealthy and happy. Is AI...taking people's jobs? Because that would be really bad. If that were the case Microsoft would probably try to keep it secret, maybe by offering tens of thousands of workers "buyouts."

Walter Koenig's Pavel Chekov was one of Gene Roddenberry's biggest swings with the original series. For season 2, he put a Russian on the bridge of the Enterprise, on prime time network television, just 5 short years after the Cuban Missile Crisis and during the height of the Cold War. 🥺

I will say, I was around a member of congress yesterday and they fully expect this pressure. So for those who are like, ‘Oh, they won’t do anything’ just know that they are expecting voters to stay on their ass. If that doesn’t happen, then you may see less urgency from them, IMO.

My man looks like he ran, he ran so far away he just ran, he ran all night and day he couldn't get away

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

General Mills just paid $300 million dividend to investors brought back 150 million in stock to enrich Executives and investors and pays it's CEO 16 million. It makes 2 billion yearly in profit It's raising prices on cereals 20% and blames inflation Welcome to the United States of Corporate America

Saw this elsewhere. This is the level of fraud and theft involved in using AI to ‘write.’

Absolutely 👇

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.

Holy shit.

📌There's no way all this is just some damn coincidence: 1. Ukraine whacks Russia. 2. Lindsey Graham leads bipartisan efforts hitting Russia w/ more sanctions. 3. Graham suddenly drops dead. (Like so many of Putin's enemies.) 4. Trump immediately cancels sanctions, and buys Russian diesel. <more>

I stand with Hunter. He never claimed to be perfect and he loves his father.

here's Sunday's post: "Let’s all watch Barack Obama and Jon Ossoff use Preznit Fuckwit as a chew toy" — They’re so good at this. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: @hcrichardson.bsky.social , Red Wine & Blue Founder Katie Paris, & Michigan Sen. @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social https://bit.ly/4i7S3Hm @sjdemas.bsky.social talked with the trio in Michigan about the midterms, American history, and if women voters are being taken for granted.

As his policies bankrupt them, Trump-supporting farmers fully embrace socialism. But only if it’s for them.

Stinky Grandpa is awake. 💨

Gaslighting 101: The AG is literally calling us crazy for thinking Trump will use the levers of government power to overturn the results of an election, when he has a documented history of doing just that. That’s tyranny.

Gas prices are “temporarily” high, says the president. That’s because Republicans are temporarily in power. Vote.

Like, I get that carefully crafted jokes about the ballroom and the reflecting pool get reposts and eyeballs, but come the fuck on. Joking about this and obscuring the actual, living threat just contributes to the larger denial and feeling that things really aren’t that bad.

The same. We’reliterally watching the end of the United States as we knew it before Trump, including the erosion of our Constitution and its protections. And it’s exponentially more alarming that the Techno Fascists’ runaway AI experiment is advancing without adequate guardrails or accountability.

He’s nuts!

Ukraine losing access to Starshield raises serious concerns for our national security—like who controls critical capabilities the U.S. government has spent billions to procure & how decisions to restrict them are made. I'm demanding answers from the Department of Defense & SpaceX

We now know some of the people involved in mailing children fake transgender pamphlets here in Texas.

The Republican Party has all the values and tactics of a white supremacist prison gang and maybe it's time to stop normalizing them as if they were a modern functioning political party

In 2021, archaeologists announced the discovery of the 3000 year old Egyptian city called "The Dazzling Aten" near Luxor. I want to call your attention to a brick wall under the red arrow. It's 'serpentine' & a single brick wide, separating a housing complex from the road. Why the odd shape?

What an open sewer of racism and bigotry the right has become.

Found some voter fraud. Surely Blanche will make arrests.

Susan Collins and her billionaire allies are spending millions in this race trying to tell you who Troy Jackson is. Let me save them some money. I’ll tell you who I am…

NOT A DRILL Trump just ordered the DOJ to challenge the Alaska Senate election results before a single vote is counted. Here’s the shady as hell part. Only if the Dem wins. Mary Peltola is challenging Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan & Alaska could determine which party controls the Senate.

Trump and Musk are just stringing Ukraine along and letting Russia attack it with impunity. And the American press is foolishly falling for blue smoke and mirrors, arguing whether Musk or Trump are responsible. Hint, they both are!

So if Matthew's spouse, for example, was snatched up by ICE and sent to Burkina Faso, he would do nothing to help them because the Democrats lost an election? WHAT?
