I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

The fact that Amy Acton was removed from her mother’s care and went on to obtain an MD and flourish in public health makes her even more of a hero in my eyes. This type of trauma never really goes away. Yet when there was a fork in the road, she chose the one where she helps others. Hero.

JD Vance has no shame, we know that, but he stooped to a new low when he claimed he's not seen any corruption out of this White House. In doing so, he's gaslighting Americans into thinking they're not seeing it either. Trust your eyes, the corruption is as clear as day. (link in comments)

You know how you can tell people who are still wilfully denying reality? They're telling you Trump has recently changed course, become more pro-Russian, or pivoted against Ukraine. This is nonsense. Trump has been with Putin throughout. Its just the press failed to see it.

A bipartisan group of senators on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has condemned Trump’s diesel deal with Putin, saying it violates federal law & must be reversed: “President Trump’s decision to allow Russian diesel imports to the U.S. runs directly counter to that law,” the senators said

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

So let's get this straight: Russia just murdered over 65 people in Ukraine in less than 48 hours. Crushed a building on top of sleeping families to celebrate Putin's birthday. And today, the U.S. announces that they are lifting sanctions on Russian diesel and planning to buy some,

“This is not the time to sort of gripe about all the little things,” said Vice President JD Vance on Thursday about the coming mid-term election season, despite the fact that a recent AP-NORC Center poll from late September found 73% of Americans think the country is on the wrong track.

CNN and MS NOW are complicit in Trump’s illegal scheme to steal taxpayer money for political ads. Why are they accepting stolen money to run illegal ads?
