If aliens in a movie did to Earth & humanity what fossil fuel executives do in real life, we'd cheer at the climax when their spaceships blow up & cheer even louder if their quislings (like bankers, politicians, PR hacks, & corporate lawyers) were aboard. I'm just saying. #climate

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.

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.

Maybe the fascists overplayed their hand; both domestic news media and foreign social media didn't so much put a thumb on the scale as elbow it from the rafters, and maybe people finally saw that. I don't know.

Tommorow, when I will vote for the Joint List (ודם), the only non-Zionist party in Israel, I’ll think of everything that was done in our name More than 70,000 Palestinians were murdered, 20,000+ of them - children I’m voting for my friends that live in Gaza and the West Bank, they can’t vote 💔

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

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.

Peter Gleick@petergleick.bsky.social

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.

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.

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.

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

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.

Adam Bonica@adambonica.bsky.social

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.

Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò@olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social

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.
