For the Regime to succeed
they must get Americans to accept the trumped up
narrative of a nation founded by and for white Christian men.
They need to replace the Constitution with that story.
We'll keep telling each other the truth.
I think the lesson from Lula is not never talk about the opposition; it's articulate a positive vision that's basically, We Can Just Do Things. That's why Mamdani-ism is so popular - voters have an intrinsic sense that their electeds have agency they're not using
The damage the GOP has done to America is extraordinary Political author Thom Hartmann argues that the long-term impact of modern Republican policies on American institutions and society has been deeply destructive.
RFK Jr. is not even close to being done with destroying public health.
Republican Congresspeople are 100% behind him in this effort.
Vote for public health.
HHS wants a new Medicare code that pays doctors extra only when they attribute a patient’s symptoms to a vaccine.
Vaccine critics say doctors are paid to push vaccines. We aren’t. Under this code, we’d be paid to blame them.

What do we know about Question 5? It'll force layoffs, just to give tax breaks to the super rich. On Tuesday, November 3rd, vote No on question 5. #NoOn5MA#mapoli
You really need to work hard to be the most obsequious member of Trump’s cabinet — by, for instance, eating lunch at Cheesecake Factory and alerting Fox Business, so they can interview you in defense of Obama’s joke about the White House decor. Well done Secretary Bessent! Your move, Doug Burgum!
Trump's family has made billions off the presidency while working families can't afford groceries. And Republicans in Congress? They've done nothing to stop it. Not one thing.
Voters will not forget that at the ballot box.
1/ Russian warbloggers are applauding Elon Musk for being sympathetic to Russia. They suggest that he crippled Ukraine's Starlink/Starshield connection for fear of Russian retaliation, dislike of the Ukrainians, and a desire to make Ukraine pay more for using it. ⬇️

I’m sick of headlines treating these forays as something done independently.
No. Anthropic created it. Anthropic did this. And they should be held to account, not some supposedly autonomous AI

My reporting on the student movement in Serbia last summer. They kept at it, amazingly, for two years. And they won.

A letter sent to Trump Chief of Staff Susie Wiles by several House members, incl. Ro Khanna, demanded “an immediate, govt-wide investigation into the decision to restrict SpaceX's Starshield satellite-based intelligence & military support services in Ukraine.”

Reports coming in that, in the city of Salvador, a far-right politician - the actual mayor - has reduced the fleets of available buses so that Lula voters can't get to the polling stations.
Not to ruin anyone’s Sunday afternoon, but Brazilians are voting for president today. We’ll start getting returns at 4pm ET, and, based on the results of the first round it’d be a clear surprise if Lula survives against Bolsonaro — even if polls have tightened in the last two weeks.

Ohio, let's do what we can to elect @amyactonoh.bsky.social as your next Governor and @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social as your next U.S. Senator! They’ve dedicated their lives to fighting on behalf of all Ohioans.
The great Oleksandra Matviichuk is absolutely right to draw attention to the horrible humanitarian crisis in Oleshky. All Putin, Witkoff, and Kushner can do is invert and traduce the meaning of “humanitarianism,” in the best traditions of Russian propaganda.
I have read dozens of outraged posts because the US special envoy Witkoff called Putin a "humanist." But no one is writing about the fact that the American negotiators are simply not doing their job. Let me explain.
In 2024, a Russian disinformation network spread rumors about the then-vice presidential Democratic candidate Tim Walz assaulting a student while he was a teacher.
Fast forward two years, and the same network spread similar rumours about James Talarico before midterms.
If we’re willing to organize and mobilize, if we’re willing to turn out in big numbers in Ohio and across this country, if we’re willing to vote for change and vote for Democrats up and down the ballot, then this election might just mark the moment this country began moving in a better direction.
For the first time since 2022, Russia allowed a representative of another country to visit Ukrainian POWs: Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, special envoy of Pope Leo XIV. Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets said he hopes this dynamic continues and more Ukrainians return home. #Ukraine
💔❗️Russian drone attacks Synelnykove in Dnipropetrovsk region, 3 dead and at least 8 injured
The strike caused a fire on the fourth floor of a high-rise building. A store and cars were damaged. 11-year-old girl was among the injured.
50-year-old woman and 70-year-old man are in serious condition.
Trump takes money from polluters to exempt them from EPA emission rules and appoints lobbyists from industry to regulate themselves.
The corruption here is staggering. POTUS is taking money to poison Americans and arguing national security to do it.
JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks.
A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it

Americans paid an extra $310 for groceries in Trump’s first year in office alone. Now ground beef is over $7 a pound and coffee is topping $9.
Families can't afford Trump's broken promises.
