This is one of the least surprising findings I have read recently, but it *is a finding*! Having one’s priors confirmed by data is important.

We must do what the country refused to do during Reconstruction: dispossess & banish those who organized & facilitated this vile & lawless regime.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

unfortunately we have the ‘biological males’ framing here in the rest of the clip so I am going to have to rescind my ‘see how easy it is, red state dems’ this sucks! do better!

It was delightful!

Hungary Serbia Brazil Please let us be next

🎉🎉🎉

Over the next nine days, we’re running neighborhood canvassing, peer-to-peer texting, daily phone banks, and billboards in the nine Senate elections and 31 House races that will decide the midterms. Your donation lets us expand our organizing work and talk to more voters. Please pitch in if you can!

We’ve waited two long years for these midterms. Now we’ve only got one week left to get out the vote and win back power from the fascists.

That’s great, but 10 cents of every dollar raised is still too high. I’m going to increase my monthly donation!

"these shitlords are gonna throw us all in a volcano to power their data centres"

The achievement of Serbian students overthrowing Aleksandar Vučić can't be overstated. In 2024, they began protesting. In 2025, they transformed a protest movement into civil dissidence. In 2026, they became a political party — and two months later, crushed a corrupt state-entrenched authoritarian.

We are approaching the warmest global surface air temperature anomaly on record (1.15C on Nov 18 2023) as record El Niño approaches peak: pulse.climate.copernicus.eu

Everyone who is saying "Dems in red states have to throw trans people under the bus to win" -- no. They don't. When they do that, we just start with no winning options on the table. It gives in to the fascist premise that we get to decide some groups don't get rights. THIS is what I want to see.

Well this is eleventy-million kinds of Fucked Up. @latimes.com (who once contracted with me as a freelance reviewer and whom I struggled to get paid by) asserts that *merely reading its website* constitutes a permanent waiver of your right to sue it under *any circumstances*.

Josh Turek’s rank bigotry is a betrayal of American values. His stance on trans rights is to the right of West Virginia, Alabama & seven other red states’ laws. Dems are +9 on trans issues; there is no moral or political reason to take this stance except to oppress trans people. Turek is a traitor.

Important statement from another congressman and key youth leader, Guilherme Cortez. Very, very important words right now as the polls have officially closed.

Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever

😂😂😂 💯 Seriously, though, nations change over time! The arc of the moral universe is long, but it *can* bend towards justice, if you (yes, you) keep leaning on the lever!

Lula —“We are asking the Supreme Court to extend the electoral process so that those who were effectively barred from voting, due to the dirty tactics of mayors, can still cast their votes“ Lula asks for voting hours extension, says public transport unavailable in some areas bsky.app/profile/70sb...

There is blatant voter suppression happening right now in Brazil: flights cancelled and buses suspended to Northeastern capitals where Lula holds the majority, polling stations changed to thousands of kms away last-minute, voters in London told they need to go to Edinburgh… This is criminal.

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

Trump Unleashes Racist Tirade That should be the headline in every newspaper.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

THIS is how it’s done! (Fuck Josh Turkey and Amy Acton, and any other Dem who thinks that throwing other humans under a bus is good politics!)

Literally last night (watching S2E1 of “A House Through Time”), my wife and i were talking about the phrase “in for a penny, in for a pound” in the context of two 14-year old boys who were transported from Newcastle to Australia for the theft of two umbrellas. This… is that.

I know that this is a literally world-historically important election, and it is absolutely vital that Democrats control both House and Senate. But if I were an Iowa voter, I would have a *really* hard time voting for this man.

This is *important*! And also, love it.

It’s coming

this account though 🔥

this is must-read

Truly cannot wait for the day that we can go about our lives never having to hear that man's voice or see his face ever again.

End the War. Get Costs Down.

We would save a lot of time and really get to the business at hand if we could stop dancing around the fact that what's happening with Yglesias, Neera Tanden, the Democrats and their stewards and subordinates at large, is an attempt to maintain power and wealth gained from wealth class partnerships.

UVA undergrad Aleena Patel created a very cool resource that helps voters in Charlottesville and Albemarle County both find where their polling place is and how to get there via various means of transportation, keeping in mind that not everyone drives. transittoturnout.org

A scoop from me: CBS-owned local stations' election coverage will be sponsored by DraftKings, a deal that has stirred concern inside the company. www.status.news/p/cbs-draftk...

AIPAC is now weak, and that weakness should be exploited to crush it before it can regroup. Subpoena their records. Expose their donors. Let the victims of the genocide file civil suits against them. jewishinsider.com/2026/10/aipa...

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

A Highlands County judge on Tuesday rejected a request by the Republican Party of Florida immediately block television stations from airing political ads from the Florida Democratic Party highlighting a leaked grand jury report about Hope Florida.

“.. the document .. cements the power of a small group of people handpicked by the Trump administration to govern and profit from the deal. The role of the Venezuelan government and the potential benefits to its people are largely absent ..” @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/trum...

The ADL made a decision to throw in with the Trump when he was reelected. We're no longer arguing about that. The relevant question now is why any Democrats continue to treat them as anything other than an arm of the MAGA movement
