Black families are being told to move, to wait, and to accept “no foul play” with little explanation. This week’s roundup covers Ilhan Omar’s threats, Kohen Wiley, Palantir and the CBCF, HBCU homecoming violence, and the UN appeal over hanging deaths. Which story are you following most closely?

Reshared on X, the viral account “I Expose Racists & Pedos” wrote in its Oct. 18 caption: “It’s 2026, and people are STILL doing this racist garbage like it’s entertainment. Blackface is racist. It was never funny. It never will be.”

the El Paso branch of the #NAACP held a press conference condemning footage that began circulating over the weekend of a group dressed in KKK regalia in El Paso, Texas. https://thegrio.com/2026/10/26/many-believe-this-is-nothing-to-talk-about-kkk-costumes-spotted-in-el-paso-cause-outrage/

Would y'all mind tagging all your artist/creator friends? <3 I'd hate for someone awesome to miss the opportunity to share their experience/knowledge/opinions with the rest of the Atmosphere!

These are freaking amazing!

if you want to follow ANYTHING from what elected Lula here in brazil, this is the most important lesson and change of mindset that happened here just don't give them the attention they want. let them speak amongst themselves and let us win by silencing them with our voices

Memphis residents called for a pause on new data center development to study impacts on air quality, water, noise, and infrastructure before moving forward. The moratorium didn't pass, but the organizing continues. Communities deserve to be heard. ✊🏾🖤 https://bit.ly/4zScU7o

Spent too much time creating the preview image for: foryou.club/atmosphere I pulled the current profile pics of the Bluesky accounts for each of the apps that the cross-lexicon For You feed shows. Not sure what's the deal with @pckt.blog Can you spot an Easter egg?

Do we have an open social version of #Reddit yet? #fediverse #OpenSocialWeb #ATmosphere

If your “community” is only on X, rethink your membership…

#USPol I was beginning to think everyone was numb to this type of behavior.

Black North Carolina State Highway Patrol troopers describe years of racist texts and slurs, humiliation rituals, denied promotions and retaliation for reporting discrimination. https://theemancipator.org/2026/10/23/investigations/exclusive-black-north-carolina-state-troopers-racism-discrimination/

Why aren’t hashtags a bigger thing here? I hear some people say there is too much political talk here. If we encouraged everyone to use #USPol, people could mute it. Hashtag and content warnings are something I appreciate from Mastodon.

Send me positive energy!

I believe the Open Social Web is the answer, not 1 app or protocol. I'm glad apps like @getskyscraper.com @iconfactory.com #TapestryApp @surf.social @skyreader.app bridge various protocols & technologies for me so I don't have to choose. People will have favorites, but shouldn't have to pick just 1

Interesting take on becoming a better writer. What are your thoughts?

You know what the Atmosphere tab really needs, though, is a wealth of Atmospheric records. A surfeit even. @grain.social photos, @pckt.blog posts, @leaflet.pub letters, @offprint.app printoffs, @atmo.rsvp events — lexicons we haven't even dared to dream of yet.

My favorite apps and tech combined! @getskyscraper.com @getskyscraper.com @standard.site

I'm not getting my Duo today, but now I can share the cool Skyscraper feature I built for it. Hopefully it works? In "Laptop" mode, Skyscraper will scroll through your posts automatically. The post is mirrored on the bottom screen like a water reflection. And you can touch it and interact with it!

“Their technology has already been used to focus more police attention on black and brown neighborhoods. And when the technology makes a mistake, black people are most likely to suffer.”

“Student organizers at Florida A&M University want campus police to end their partnership with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.”

Democrats need to haul this guy in for some pointed hearings next January. For nearly two years, he's run amok threatening news outlets in service to Donald Trump. That. is. not. the. role. of. the. FCC.
