Sunday is a day for loafing.

Honestly it would make so much more sense to appoint Viktor Orban as White House press secretary and Nicki Minaj U.N. Secretary-General.

"America was pushed into its second nadir by a well-funded anti-democratic movement that spent several decades building the social and legal infrastructure of American fascism. Digging ourselves out of the competitive authoritarian pit will likely be a slow process."

NEW: At least 18 voting centers in Alaska Native communities have not opened despite early voting having already started in the state last week. “There is no legal excuse for the failure to open these sites,” one state senator wrote to the Alaska elections chief.

"help each other." Lasercut luminaria, using text I like from a neighbor's yard sign. (I'm going to add tissue paper to diffuse the light, when I get a chance) #DHmakes

I Saw It With My Own Eyes: I’m not trying to spy, but a college student in front of me is writing an essay about Carracci’s Assumption of the Virgin: just painstaking typing, looking at the painting, looking at articles. No ChatGPT, no Gemini, no nothing. I might actually hug them.

Wether it’s Vivek attacking a sexual assault victim or Acton being assaulted as a 12yo, both sides are at fault. Thank you for having the courage to say this Joe Manchin

Correct. Read this story. Karma's a bitch... and MAGA deserves it. They've been trashing the USPS for decades and now it's going to bite them in the ass. bsky.app/profile/prop...

🔥 OBAMA: “The thing is, Iran didn’t have nuclear weapons — because I put a deal in place he pulled out of… and the war he started is why the price of everything is UP… how much time do you think Hegseth spends looking at himself in the mirror? These are not serious people.”

Again: Why does Musk have operational control over any *military grade* version of anything. That’s not how DOD contracts work.

Sternenko is a credible person. Elon Musk has been found to have a pathological disregard for the truth and repeatedly gives perjured testimony under oath. Who would you believe? In any event, the truth is easily discernible through objective means.

Statement from Virginia state Sen. L. Louise Lucas: “I will not be intimidated. I will not be bullied. And I will not back down.”

She's a national treasure. Huge thanks to @hcrichardson.bsky.social for the clarity, context, and fortitude she brings to this moment. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/october-17...

I disavow everyone. Let's work backwards from there. Brotherhoods I avow will be released at a later date. Sisterhoods I avow include the Dixie Chicks, Pointer Sisters, and some Spice Girls.

Well, you can't expect a random reporter to understand the Constitution. I mean, it's not like she's CBS's chief *legal* correspond-- (finger to earpiece). Oh. Oh no. OK, yeah, that's bad.

“Donald Trump is a traitor. And he’s not simply a traitor in the loose sense of someone who commits an act of betrayal…Trump is a traitor in the very particular sense laid out in the U.S. Constitution…’adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.’” www.americaamerica.news/p/donald-tru...

Yesterday, Trump ally Mark Zuckerberg tried to squelch the voice of the people. He failed. More than seven million people came out for No Kings rallies. Now we need to ensure that Trump, Musk, Zuckerberg, and other powerful authoritarians inside and outside the government, fail again on November 3.

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

We live in a white supremacist country run by white supremacist fascists. This is inexcusable. It's everyone's job to fight this bullshit the rest of our lives.

Election officials are getting mail from the FBI/UPSPS telling them to beware mail with a DSA return address because it may contain anthrax, fentanyl, or fairy dust.

Holy cow the schools are changing the sex of American kids in school? And thought they went to school to just get shot.

The BBC told the court this week Trump was supposed to be deposed Friday, but his lawyers said he had “other matters of national importance” to attend to.

"The call is coming from inside the house." Reuters has confirmed that the White House gave the order to disrupt Starlink so Russia could attack Kyiv with no advanced warning. Trump’s a traitor--a Russian asset who is using US military technology to help our enemy. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Trump: “I see so many comments from Radical Left Morons & Lunatics that China and Russia are helping the ‘wonderful’ Islamic Republic of Iran. If they are, it’s at a very low level, but I don’t believe they are at all. They have too much to lose, & we would know about it, & know about it very fast!”

If you’re wondering what the vibe is going into the midterms the New England fall fair I went to today had a crochet guillotine for sale.

Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."

The Republicans all work for Putin. They don’t even care to hide it. He paid for Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding. They are traitors to their country.

I got my $90 Trump Medicare bribe and immediately donated that exact amount to the Indigenous Women Lead PAC, and you should too: secure.actblue.com/donate/iwlpa...

The one and only Michael Jordan was interviewed last week by the French newspaper Libération. Here is an English translation. Enjoy! www.di.ens.fr/~fbach/MJord...

Trump is declining international election monitors in the United States for first time in over two decades, aligning the country with Russia. Trump will instead deploy his own election monitors to polling sites across the country. www.ms.now/news/trump-m...

Because I will be spending Nov 3rd as an election worker, I voted yesterday, on a Monday a bit more than two weeks into Virginia’s early voting period. The place was hopping: there’s a whole lot of voting going on.

this is my favorite example ever of an interactive clearly, creatively illustrated concept

Hard to think of anything less abstract and more materially consequential than being pregnant
