"...power without love is reckless and abusive ... love without power is sentimental and anemic." —Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

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

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. My new piece in @cidrap.bsky.social: www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

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 on high gas prices: I don't give a damn. We're making a freaking fortune.

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. ⬇️

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.” www.americaamerica.news/p/how-long-c...

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.

Hearing report after report. Bolsonaro’s allies are doing everything they can to suppress the vote. It’s the engine of fascism in action.

huckleberrymike.bsky.social reposted

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.

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.

Oleksandra Matviichuk@avalaina.bsky.social

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

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 www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

The story you really want out there before the election is the President's semi-estranged wife is tight with Putin.

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.
