i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

Question, so if Super Mario Brothers tells us that flowers make plumbers throw fire at turtles, and science says that plumbers actually fix pipes in exchange for money…can anyone explain it?

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

New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility. w/ @grahamrayman.bsky.social & Joe Anuta www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

“Shadow docket” is the sort of name you’d come up with if you were writing an authoritarian dystopia.

Riki Wilchins@rikiwilchins.bsky.social

For the 1st time in US history SCOTUS has more rulings on its shadow docket -- unsigned and with no opinions -- than it has cases where it has heard oral arguments and issued signed rulings. IOW they are hiding their deliberations while stealing our democracy. www.propublica.org/article/supr...

"hypocrisy is a virtue to fascists, because the point of being in the dominant in-group is that you dominate, and holding others to standards from which you excuse yourself demonstrates domination like little else can"

Today I wrote about Abdul El Sayed's encounter with a Christian fascist named "Tommy," and the fine art of digging up the shameful things fascists bury under their accusations, exposing them for what they are, and then burying their lies in the hole left behind. www.the-reframe.com/taking-our-c...

It's one of the biggest positive signs that you are talking to a morally and intellectually lazy asshole, or somebody acting in bad faith to pose as morally and intellectually lazy in order to disguise the worse thing they actually are.

I love this sentence: "As you can see, the questioner is a young fellow with the distinct appearance of a Team America World Police marionette..."

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

In his (rather dubious) defense, Republican voters have shown him again and again that they love bigotry more than the constitution, the country, the troops, their jobs, drinking water, affordable food, their dignity, their own families, and even their own lives.

Trump is smearing Ilhan Omar in speeches all over the country now because he is an Islamophobic bigot and he thinks that’s a winning message for Republicans

Please import this idea American Democrats. Cambridge Analytica type stuff is an attack on our elections, not free speech.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

idk how to explain how important this Lula win is but just know the entire balance of world power could have shifted in a terrible direction tonight and instead the people and democracy won despite overwhelming odds 🎉🎉🎉

And, most importantly, thanks to the vital mobilisation of young people. Students took to the streets the day after the first round elections, kickstarting massive movements that saw the largest public demonstrations in Brazil since the days of Diretas Já at the end of the military dictatorship.

George Potter 🔶@georgepotter.bsky.social

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.

I'm excited that this is a fitting use of "I'd like to report a murder" – the paragraph about Republicans alone ...

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

between serbia, brazil, and hopefully november 3, a good reminder: voting works it’s not the end, there’s always work to be done after the vote, but if you want to beat the motherfuckers and keep them out of power: vote your asses off

Honestly trying to remember how to react to something close actually tipping the right way.

Bloomberg News@bloomberg.com

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva came from behind to win Brazil’s runoff election, halting a right-wing wave sweeping Latin America and defying predictions that the 80-year-old political veteran had finally reached the end of his extraordinary career. bloom.bg/4BsvV24 📷: Maira Erlich/Bloomberg

You can't beat fascism by agreeing with fascism. You can't beat fascists by accepting a fascist frame. Corporatist Democratic Party leadership needs to be defeated and jettisoned. We have to fight them, not because we don't want to fight Republicans, but because they refuse to.

Wintersong@wintersong.bsky.social

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC - @electdemocrats.bsky.social) is running anti-trans ads now, so I don't know how you can say the party itself isn't embracing transphobia. There are still some good Dems out there, but transphobia is apparently a party value.

"Abandonment is Unity," the doublespeak of centrist extremists. Working with Nazis to exclude people Nazis want to exclude is how you get Nazis. Solidarity is how you beat them. We must work to replace leadership of the Democrat's Abandonment Coalition. We must foster and grow a Solidarity Party.

To those who add me to moderation block lists every time I write things like this: Thank you, thank you, thank you for making my Bluesky feed more pleasant. I do not want anti-solidary assholes to see my posts in their feed and certainly I do not want to see them in mine. Block away, assholes!
