#ShareGoodNews - science is giving new hope in so many ways to so many people. #FollowTheScience

Obviously this is racist and gross, but it's also shockingly historically illiterate? No one who has taken a single high school world history course would deny that Arab culture has produced incredible science and literature. This is why we need basic humanities education.

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

Democratic Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign disavowed an ad circulated by anti-Israel commentator Cenk Uygur and an affiliated PAC supporting El-Sayed, as the ad faced widespread condemnation over what critics said was a blatantly antisemitic message.

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

I only ever received two death threats online. One was from JDA. But that's a fraction of what he did to Paul and many other good people in our community. That's why I'm extremely disappointed that File 770 chose to give him a platform.

A periodic reminder that guillotines are the moderate solution

wow -- a squirming Mike Rogers gets flustered as Kristen Welker points out that while he attacks El-Sayed over the Muslim Brotherhood, *Rogers himself* defended the Muslim Brotherhood during the same period of time that El-Sayed did!

Also: ‘rein in’ (same origin)

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Do not trust the polls. Do not allow yourself to become complacent. Vote early — and get your friends and family to vote. Do not let Elon, Big Tech, Big Oil, AI, and the billionaire class buy this election. We outnumber them — and we're the only ones that can put an end to this nightmare.

If Zohran Mamdani or Abdul El-Sayed had used the word “Shylock” as an insult, the ADL would be attacking them by name relentlessly. But Donald Trump used it, so we get a generic condemnation of the word without any specific reference to who actually used it, and with no assumption of intent.

Our state’s worst representative, folks (“Likely R” is still correct because he very much represents the vast majority of his electorate, but hey, worth a try)

This is somehow a combination of two of the stupidest myths out there: that Irish people were enslaved in the US, AND that Jewish people ran the transatlantic trade in enslaved people. (Some American Jews did participate in the slave trade, but not out of proportion compared to US Christians).

Hospitals love to say that they can't comply with staffing mandates because there's a nursing shortage. But there is no nursing shortage; there's a shortage of nurses willing to work under impossible conditions. www.wsj.com/health/healt...

Welp.

The Trump regime is arresting green card holders who have no recollection of registering to vote and accusing them of fraudulently registering to vote to create the illusion of non-citizens voting being a real problem. www.latimes.com/california/s...

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on, nobody should support this kind of deception. They created a fake pamphlet to spark trans outrage and sent it to every home in Texas. Then their paid shills continued the outrage on social media. Politics is broken.

We said we'd prioritize public safety but we lied. I like lying.

He did, in fact, do other things wrong, but also, this is a hell of an "aside."

She was murdered by transphobia 😥😥😥

MASSIVE BOMBSHELL: DAN GOLDMAN UNLEASHES TRUTH! Congressman Goldman just went live with FBI 302 receipts. Evidence shows Trump unzipped his pants, forced a 13-year-old’s head down, and when she bit his p*nis in self-defense, he punched her and called her a "B” We knew it was coming! 😡🤬

for the love of all that is holy i am begging the democrats, if they get one fucking guy get this fucking guy and nail his bribe taking ass to the wall

Hard to avoid the conclusion that this sort of blatant antisemitism simply attracts far less media attention than Hasan Piker, whatever one thinks of him. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It wouldn't made it any less awful if this were not the case, but as it happens, the "Washington Post" photographer here is Jewish. It was always inevitable that sooner or later, Jewish nationalist fascism would turn against the Wrong Kinds of Jews.

Via Ariana Figueroa: More than 100,000 Ukrainians and roughly 2,000 Sudanese immigrants are bracing for the possibility they’ll lose their humanitarian protections by Monday. https://ow.ly/j2by50ZYBvc

This is a pogrom, no different than what the Cossacks did to Jewish communities in the Pale of Settlement.

Mike Rogers’ wife is handing out $10 gas cards in Michigan while asking people to vote for her husband. Republicans made gas unaffordable. Now they’re offering $10 to keep them in power. #BlueWaveIn20Days

Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks. Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. https://wapo.st/4yt6dHY

Ex-boss filed a $12 theft charge against an ex-employee because she got a restraining order in response to his creepy behavior. Charge was never prosecuted, but it gave ICE an excuse to arrest and detain her. Congratulations to the 58 Democrats who voted for the Laken Riley Act. You own this.

The US knows Ukrainian air defense relies on US early detection of Russian launches. Without telling Ukraine, the Trump White House (and Elon Musk's SpaceX) withheld that info and hindered countermeasures. The US just facilitated a Russian attack on Ukraine, making it more effective and deadlier.

BREAKING: We just sued Jared Kushner for unlawfully acting as one of the country's top diplomats without undergoing Senate confirmation or filing financial disclosures. It’s abundantly clear that he should be blocked from performing this outsized role: www.citizensforethics.org/legal-action...

The words you're looking for are "attempted murder charges" He intentionally drove his SUV into a pedestrian

Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

"In Harris’s case, his strong embrace of Orbán may partially be explained by his roots in Hungary and revelations that his father, Zoltan, a physician, belonged to a pro-Nazi Hungarian paramilitary group toward the end of World War II"

Excerpts from Michael Lewis on DOGE (Guardian article). 1. Gavin Kliger, white nationalist, refused to shake hands with the Black IRS staffer who briefed him on privacy issues. Or pay attention. Kliger now has a defense start-up valued at 1.4B thanks to DOGE. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Somehow missed this last month: Abigail Spanberger told a crowd at PrideFest that she killed an effort by Glenn Youngkin that would have limited transgender students' ability to play sports and use facilities. www.wvtf.org/news/2026-09...

Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man. The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!" Agents didn't help him. And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.
