"Despair is a tool of your enemies." -- Audre Lorde

My high up editor “friend” at Wa Po tells me “we are not the bad guys” and I keep asking “what have you done to prove that” and then he stops texting back.

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.

Not a single Democrat anywhere should be afraid of doing this to absolutely every Republican who takes money from Elon Musk in 2028.

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.

Flávio Bolsonaro had his passport confiscated by the Brazilian fed police as his brother Eduardo told him to flee to the US. He is tied to paramilitary gangs, is being investigated & lost his legislative immunity when he left the Senate to run for president. paydayreport.com/brazilian-fe...

Putin is meddling in the midterms to help Trump by once again mounting a covert disinformation operation that’s spreading phony sex abuse allegations about a Democrat. Ought to be big news.

The Open Courts Act of 2026 would modernize PACER and tear down the paywall between the public and court records. And we need it now more than ever: PACER is set to increase per-page fees by 20%. free.law/2026/10/21/p...

Bombshell report flags possible crime in Trump DOJ’s Epstein ‘cover-up’

You don’t say

Kavanaugh stops in action: ICE tackled a non-verbal kid near his school, left him with injuries requiring surgery, and then left the scene when they realized he wasn't the person they were looking for www.independent.com/2026/10/23/i...

Day 6 of early voting in Louisiana Geaux Vote Y’all 💙🇺🇸⚜️

Trump and Co. will try to steal the midterms. They're already trying. Gerrymandering, bad faith lawsuits, voter intimidation, and a whole lot of lies. But they don't have a genius secret plan. They're already doing whatever they can think of. And it's beatable. Shouldn't have to, but here we are.

Getulio Vargas, who was president of #Brazil during the 1930s & 40s, was an authoritarian who did much to undermine vestiges of democracy his country. But ultimately, 🇧🇷 proved the only independent South American country to send combat troops against nazis and Italian fascists in Europe.

itching to get to post something like this on november 4th.

Did the New York Times’ regular headline writers call in sick? I‘d love to see more headlines as direct as this one.

And, most importantly, thanks to the vital mobilisation of young people. Students took to the streets the day after the first round elections, kickstarting massive movements that saw the largest public demonstrations in Brazil since the days of Diretas Já at the end of the military dictatorship.

WE DID IT. I CANT FUCKING BELIEVED WE DEFEATED USA WE DEFEATED A COUP WE DEFEATED META WE DEFEATED EVERYONE WHO TRIED TO SILENCE BRAZILIA PEOPLE LULA WON GUYS. THE PEOPLE WON.

One benefit of holding leaders accountable for crimes is that if Flávio Bolsonaro tries to overturn this election, he knows exactly where he’d end up. In prison, next to his father.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

do you think that I, as an American, might actually be familiar with the idea that a leader can be dangerous but also a ridiculous clown

it’s okay to laugh at fascists when they lose

A good day for democracy. Let’s keep this streak going.

Hungarian PM Péter Magyar: "I have just spoken by phone with the leaders of the Students List, who won the elections in Serbia, to congratulate them... I assured them of Hungary’s support. I was delighted to hear how much strength our victory in April had given them during this difficult struggle."

1. NOBODY asked you. Zero bodies. 2. Conflating Diaspora Jews w/Israelis is textbook antisemitism + I'm sure that stat's a lie 3. Most of all, @abdulelsayed.bsky.social embodies more Torah principles than any of these dinguses ever could.

This thread comes to a close... ... as we now have a final result. Let the records show that, with 92% of the vote countywide, Lula is up 3.3%. (Can he end up doubling his 2022 margin?)

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.

Coolest things French people have asked me about Halloween: 3. "Halloween, when is that, November?" 2. "Is everyone *required* to dress up?!" 1. "That thing where the kids knock on doors and get candy, that's not real, right?" "Yes, it is." "In AMERICA??????" (because we all shoot each other here)

Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.

“protein enriched chocolate chip cookie” is kinda the perfect synthesis of the conflicting american male desires to be a spartan warrior and also five years old

The replies are an extraordinary catalogue of things that have objectively improved. If we didn't have the climate crisis and the far right authoritarians and the tech barons overshadowing everything I'd be whistling every day

In the 1960s public schools had special classrooms for the “educable mentally handicapped.” Most of those kids had lead poisoning. Lead paint was banned in U.S. in 1978. Leaded gasoline was banned in 1996. Kids’ blood levels dropped by 95%. Bans work. We should ban shit again.

What was the TV sitcom change c 1990? US tv sitcoms went from usually having 1 wacky story, to usually having 2 interlaced wacky stories. Seemed to me the change started pretty much simultaneously from "The Simpsons" and "Seinfeld" about 1990. Someone knowledgable confirm or correct? #tv

This is for all Black voters in Michigan! A vote for Mike Roger over Dr. Abdul El-Sayed will GUARANTEE a right wing Supreme Court for the next 50 years. DO NOT leave that race blank. We MUST vote for Abdul al-Sayed. Share and repost!

This is so cool! Obviously very interested in how it differs between men and women. We shall see. “The newly identified body part is a small muscular head found deep in the pelvis"

A lot of the AI authored books aren't meant to be read by people. They're meant to be bought and opened by bots that will then scan and scrape that content, or used to create fake authority for the author. 🫠

If he offered anything in return for the money, even just conversations with his father-in-law, then he would have violated U.S. bribery laws and the foreign agent statute. trib.al/aYl2OWe

Childhood blood levels of lead have dropped 94.5% since 1976!!!!!!!!!
