Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

One of the better pieces I read about Brazil before the first round elections described how online betting permeated through Brazil. After Brazil's World Cup squad selected Neymar, he urged fans to visit a betting platform that sponsors him. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/w...

I think it’s a good thing to point out to people that attacks on trans rights are part-and-parcel of the far right program to make everyone’s rights negotiable and subject to revision at a moment’s notice.

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

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...

As of Sunday, voters in North Carolina between the ages of 18 and 25 are voting at 2.1 times the pace they did in 2022 and Black voters are voting at 1.6 times the pace they did in 2022. #NCPol #NCSen #NCGA thepoliticalspectrum.substack.com/p/theyre-att...

Lula's victory in Brazil means a lot to a ton of people in the country, including transgender people. So when Lula won, it was a major moment of celebration when he turned to kiss a popular transgender lawmaker on the cheek. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I appreciate that people want a new Mass Effect, but the future where fans advocate for the work itself and not the people who make it is the one the vultures at EA want. If you'll take it however you get it, they can keep treating people who make what you love as expendable.

let's fucking go

It's insane that the campaign against El-Sayed is basically that he has some secret relationship with the people that the president's family has a secret relationship with.

With 83% of the vote counted nationwide, Lula has stretched his lead to 2.8 million votes. That's a lead of 51.4% to 48.6%. That puts him on track for a victory that could be larger than his 1.8% win four years ago, which would be an immense comeback. He's even up in Minas Gervais now, by 0.6%.

Lula has flipped the state of Amapa, which he lost to Jair Bolsonaro in the 2022 runoff by 3 percentage points. He will win it today; he is ahead by 6 percentage points with 99% of precincts reporting. He'd finished ahead by a hair in the first round, 45.7% to 45.7%.

This really highlights how much the idea that the left needs “manly man”candidates to win against populist right wing strongmen is total bs

We must expect that Meta's interference is happening in other elections around the world *right now*. This isn't just a one-off. Meta has proved repeatedly they are committed to advancing far-right agendas worldwide, are serial liars, and are flagrantly indifferent to the dismantling of democracies.

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

Trump admin arrests Colorado priest. Incarcerates him for over a year. Judge orders him released without charges. They release him without the wheelchair he needs -- other prisoners have to bodily carry him out. He's now being tested for latent TB: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/colo...

As turnout in Texas nears 3 million votes, Hispanic turnout is now exceeding presidential levels. More Hispanics have voted than did at this point in the 2024 presidential election. What's driving this huge increase? Young voters.

A decade ago, the GOP dominated states like North Carolina, Georgia and Arizona. But since then, Trump has driven out the old guard and his current band of loyalists are handing the states over to the Democrats www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

New: Low-info voters, who put Trump in the White House, now look even more anti-Trump than high-info voters, and give Dems bigger margins on the generic ballot. 1 out of 3 Trump voters who can't name the party in charge of Congress now back Dems for 2026. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/poll-low-i...

bring back shame

scott galloway and jessica tarlov held an event here in town yesterday where “don’t impeach or waste time on investigations because ‘28” was the consensus position of the panel. so yeah, this is something to anticipate.

SCOOP: Spokesperson for Sen. Ron Wyden told me he is investigating 2 for-profit companies running new ICE facility for unaccompanied children set to open in Louisiana. LaSalle Corrections and 'humanitarian response' firm Anovaeon LLC are facing Wyden's scrutiny. www.thequeenzone.com/scoop-top-se...

They bought the company that was distributing the new Musk documentary and pulled it from theaters. Living in a global fascist plutocracy is wild.

I think the biggest takeaway is this: the fact that this company has a $1 billion evaluation means rich people’s only plan for the future is forever war and fascism AND that the military/police industrial complex is a bubble on par with a 2008 Floridia timeshare community.

New — I wrote about Vivek Ramaswamy’s weaponization of Amy Acton’s childhood sexual abuse and how it’s only the latest symptom of a Republican party flush with rape apologists, led by an adjudicated rapist:

Every mass protest movement in the last 20 years in America has succeeded in significantly moving public opinion. Politicians, on both sides of the aisle, have made their careers by capitalizing on those movements. Centrists like Yglesias are all about the data until it challenges their worldview.

The Texas redistricting could very easily turn into a bust

I love that Austin Abrams is a Very Serious Actor who prepares extensively, loses or gains weight for the role, goes method, & all of that, but he’s also not afraid to look goofy or be the butt of a joke.

"The deadly incident comes just days before a crucial election that will decide whether Netanyahu can hold on to power. There has been a recent surge in Israeli settler violence...with Palestinians, activists and American journalists among those attacked" www.nbcnews.com/world/middle...

This piece from @papapishu.bsky.social is so good. A survey of the desolation

Good morning! We're suing Meta for stealing our shit 😎 let's goooo

We are seeing a hunger disaster unrolling before our eyes. Since Republicans passed the Big Beautiful Bill, 2 million kids have lost food assistance. These are by far the deepest SNAP cuts in history, and each month, we find out it’s even worse than we thought. The worst is yet to come.
