Awesome. Now turn all police stations into public spaces, permanently. Turn them into libraries and day cares and open office space and Internet cafes.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.
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...

The NYT story does not even include the word rape. Not once.

A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

I live in a downtown area of São Paulo so I see every march and every protest up close and they had more people on Avenida Paulista two weeks ago than I have ever seen. And then they did that again yesterday. *Right now,* spontaneously, just celebrating, there's a huge crowd.

The mobilization itself was already not something I ever expected to see, but to actually win? Hell, to double the winning margin from the 2022 runoff? Genuinely surreal. Maybe child raping billionaires *don't* have to run the world with a shit-eating grin. Maybe that can stop.

After WW2, Nazis were hanged for war crimes like this.
Monstrous beyond all reckoning. The US is using remote sensing *designed for humanitarian purposes* for the opposite purpose, potentially drowning civilians en masse. Trump hates Somalis. His troops appear to be exploiting the weather to help slaughter them. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...
Actually, we need a revolution to overthrow the fascist regime.
We're NOT having a free & fair election. We're having one where the authoritarian ruling party has made it very difficult to remove them from power. Remember purged voter rolls, closing of polling stations, restricting mail-in ballots, & gerrymandering. We need a massive repudiation at the polls.

Republicans aren’t doubling down on this grotesque apology for a child rapist primarily because they think will help Ramaswamy win or even because they think it will be effective; they are doing it because deep down, at the core of their being, Republicans believe child rape is good.
President Donald Trump says Vivek Ramaswamy, the Republican nominee for Ohio governor, should keep a controversial ad featuring the estranged mother of Democratic opponent Amy Acton.

Trump didn't like Ramaswamy until he saw him sticking up for child rapists and their enablers. He hated the Ivy League until Cornell had a prominent fraternity gang-rape story in the news. He's not just a rapist, not just a serial rapist—he's a rape *enthusiast,* and it's why Republicans love him.
Trump: "What's happened is the press has ganged up on a woman making a horrible statement about her daughter, and I don't why she should be shielded. She said she was a dirty liar ... I say she's fair game."

Constitutional amendment requiring political consultants to be fired into the sun.
Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

"Debate" has been corrupted by codifying it into a competitive sport imo; at this point it is rarely a method for good faith actors to hit upon best solutions or refine a shared reality; it's mostly a vector for bad faith actors to keep failed and destructive ideas in perpetual zombie currency.
it's understandable to think of constructive debate as an ideal and then to figure that *any* debate is therefore a step towards political values and virtues. but I think most debates, particularly in the social media age, make conversations and outlooks worse than where they started

"You won't debate me because you can't beat my IDEAS"—no, loser, I won't debate you because your ideas have been considered and rejected and no longer warrant debate, and the very act of engaging in debate frames you as better than you are and your failed ideas as worthy of anything but contempt.

"You haven't convinced me," who gives a shit, man. Literally who gives a single shit. You don't have to be convinced of reality or decency for the rest of us to recognize reality and value decency. Your failure to be convinced is a point in favor of excluding you and ignoring you, not engaging you.

"I don't believe in that." OK, well that's good to know about you; you don't get to be a part of this conversation we're having about real issues and real problems—which are complicated & important and require solutions. The stakes are high. We don't have time to entertain dipshits and fevered egos.

Consider what this means. International folk are simply trying to help Palestinians harvest their olives in peace. This is ecocide and violence towards peaceful inhabitants, some of whose families have been there for centuries.
#BREAKING | IDF detain US Democratic congressional candidate Brad Lander, along with dozens of activists, international solidarity activists and farmers, while they were harvesting olives in the town of Husan, west of Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank.

If our system of justice can determine that shooting a one year-old is justified, then we do not have a system of justice, and our goal should be the eradication of the system we have and its replacement with something better.
JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.
