Yesterday, Brazil showed the world that the will of the people is stronger than the authoritarians who try to suppress it. Congratulations President Lula and congratulations Brazil.

WATCH: @hasandpiker helping students vote… what a monster!

🔥KULINSKI: “Who’s more responsible for your life being hell: trans people, Muslims, immigrants or billionaires? You know... 2 years of an anti-immigrant regime, is your life better? As @jamestalarico says the minority destroying 🇺🇸 are billionaires.” (H/T @marco.foster)

It's time for a change. Vote for leaders like @abdulelsayed.bsky.social and @jocelynbenson.bsky.social who will work every day to make this country better.

Lula wins Brazil election! Stops Latin America right wing wave!

It was good to be back in Michigan to support @jocelynbenson.bsky.social as your next Governor and @abdulelsayed.bsky.social as your next U.S. Senator! They are working to change the lives of Michiganders for the better. Make sure to vote early or on Election Day at MichiganDems.com/Vote.

Ready for something new. Hungry for something better. Change is in the air.

Ohio, let's do what we can to elect @amyactonoh.bsky.social as your next Governor and @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social as your next U.S. Senator! They’ve dedicated their lives to fighting on behalf of all Ohioans.

🚨 NEW: Mary Peltola reacts to the Trump DOJ's lawsuit targeting Alaska's election results, calling it a “desperate attempt to silence Alaskans.” “This is exactly the kind of corruption that Alaskans are sick and tired of.”

What is wrong with Dem leadership? They trip over themselves to meet with Jared Kushner but are mum on the political targeting racism and harassment of their own members.

LA has spent four years asking: Where is our mayor? When I’m mayor, you won’t have to ask. LA deserves a city that shows up for us. A Los Angeles that loves us back. Let’s go get it.

A ONE-YEAR-OLD BABY WAS KILLED BY POLICE, AND MISSISSIPPI IS CALLING IT JUSTIFIED. We cannot let this become just another headline. Kohen Wiley's life was stolen by a system that continues to fail Black children. He deserved a lifetime of love, joy, and growing up. He deserved so much more.

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.

Bernie Sanders and I are standing for a 5% tax on California billionaires, so 3.5 million Californians and poor kids don’t lose their healthcare. Gavin Newsom is standing with the billionaires and supporting Proposition 42 to stop a billionaire tax from ever happening.

Powerful words from @aoc.bsky.social. America does not belong to any one race, religion, or creed. It is big enough for all of us who believe in democracy and in our Constitution and in leaving a future that is better for our kids.

I hope Michiganders elect Abdul El-Sayed to the Senate. He would be good for Michigan and good for the United States. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/senator-abdul-el-sayed

Some corporate Democrats and pundits think the party has gone too far "left" and needs to readjust towards the “center.” Rubbish. Where’s the center between democracy and oligarchy, and why would Democrats want to be there?

If Gavin Newsom runs for president in 2028, remember whose side he was on in the fight to rein in the wealth and power of billionaires in California. With @wkamaubell.bsky.social

Too much is at stake this November to sit this election out. Our lives, our families, our communities, and our futures are on the ballot. There are a million reasons to vote. What's yours?

Sharpton: Goodman, Chaney, and Schwerner gave up their lives. And they didn’t give them up for you to sit in a penthouse and act like the White House is an extension of your penthouse. They died so our voices would be heard.

More people need to speak out like Nicole. Sports gambling will destroy our youth. The signs are already there. What a disaster. www.cjr.org/the-intervie...

Super PACs & dark money groups have spent $2B+ on this year's elections — the most ever for a midterm cycle. That includes hundreds of millions in misleading ads from AIPAC, crypto, AI, and Elon Musk's political machine. But organized people can still defeat organized money.

trump's october surprise is just more fascism

The question I’ve heard over and over across the city: “Where is our mayor?”

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

A lot of MAGA influencers on X are seeing their engagement PLUMMET today. Even official White House accounts are seeing far fewer defenders in their comments. Why is that?

“Three Yandex data centers were reportedly struck by drones — took more than 80 services offline and sent HTTP-request traffic from Yandex networks to 0.4% of recent peak levels…” No wonder Elon’s so mad 😕 www.gadgetreview.com/ukraine-stri...

🔥 @jumaane.bsky.social : “They’re going to try to make the gentleman they shot the worst human you’ve ever heard of… a father picking up his child was shot by a rogue agency controlled by Trump. That’s what occurred. He represents evil. He is doing the Devil’s work.” #AbolishICE

One major thing Trump’s regime and its supporters may seek is to use ICE to instigate civil unrest before the midterms. They want the optics of chaos and minorities tearing up the streets so they can cast themselves as the “good white law-and-order” side. Be wary and don't get used by the regime.

NEWS: New York City just recorded the fewest shootings, shooting victims, and murders in recorded history through the first nine months of the year. Major crime is down 6.6% citywide, the largest year-to-date drop in 17 years, with declines in all five boroughs. 1/

WATCH — Dr. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social on Fox: “Obama had contained the Iranian nuclear threat. Trump came in and tore the JCPOA agreement up… and started a war people in the state of Michigan are now paying for.” (Piker: “and never wanted”)

Early voting is already underway in some states. From now until Nov 3, I urge you all to... 1) Help get out the vote 2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference 3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism We are the only ones who can end this nightmare.

Jasmine Crockett’s campaign website was advertising her for consulting and lobbying work while she’s still in Congress. Ethics experts say they’ve never seen a sitting lawmaker publicly solicit lobbying clients From @premthakker.bsky.social zeteo.com/p/jasmine-cr...

LA is HOT. But does it have to be this hot? Did you know shade from a single tree can drop temps by 20° or more? Yet working-class neighborhoods like South LA, East LA, and the Valley get the least tree coverage and bear the brunt of extreme heat. Let's finally cool things down for everyone.

This campaign is about rejecting the political establishment that isn’t delivering for Angelenos. I'm running for Mayor to make our government work for people, not corporations and powerful interests.

We need AI regulation yesterday. The incentive driving the doom scenario is simply greed. I don't take PAC money from OpenAI, or any AI corporation, or any corporation for that matter.

6 days left to register to vote in TN. There is no same-day registration, so everyone must be registered by October 5th. It is also important that you double-check your registration. You can do both on Vote.org. Early voting starts on Oct. 14th.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

Donald Trump is not himself the disease of our politics. He’s just the worst symptom. The disease is the system that allows corporations to buy and sell politicians so they can rig it against the rest of us. Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All.

This all needs to be illegal

Stay safe out there, LA. Dangerous, rabid super PACs are everywhere.

The challenges we face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system. We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump. We cannot allow Big Money to dominate our politics and economy. And we cannot capitulate to the oligarchy.
