NEW on @zeteo.com Sources say Amy Acton's estranged mom seemed mentally unwell when Ramaswamy's ad was filmed & she had trouble keeping a coherent narrative on the past. Some wanted to vet her more, but *Ramaswamy himself* wanted to pushed ahead. From @jsweetli.bsky.social & @swin24.bsky.social:

zeteo.comRepublicans Warned Vivek Ramaswamy His ‘Rapist Protector’ Ad Was a Terrible IdeaThe Ohio gubernatorial candidate was told using Amy Acton’s estranged mother in an ad would backfire. The story of how it came together is even worse than you think.

The tyrant prez of the US has his own private army going around the country terrorizing, stealing, raping, and kiling people, including young children. And it's all "just the way it is". WTF??!

ICE taking a father away while dropping his kid off at school. It happened earlier today on Junction Blvd, Queens.

"how did the likely serial rapist become president" is going to be a challenging question for future historians but so is "how did the likely serial rapist with obvious dementia remain president"

Important work from @katestarbird.bsky.social and her team of researchers on election disinformation efforts.

I’m going to start a thread on our election work today. Today, we’ll be publishing a deep dive into Alaska rumors & following the DOJ’s latest efforts (in WA) to craft an illusion of widespread non-citizen voting, using arrests, press releases & threats to states as “pseudo events” to grab attention

Nearly 70% of Serbians voted Sunday, their highest turnout in decades. And the students who refused to surrender their country won. I hope every American who feels powerless hears about this. Those people were told change was impossible, too. #BlueWaveIn7Days

Trump's DOJ keeps losing in court. How many times do innocent people need to be dragged into court before there are sanctions, law licenses pulled, bar memberships withdrawn? COME ON.

"He Wants You Exhausted" Governor Newsom to Ben Meiselas: Newsom argues that Donald Trump’s constant onslaught of chaotic news, aggressive social media behavior, and norm-breaking statements is not accidental. Instead, it is a deliberate political tactic designed to create outrage fatigue.

NEWS --> Dems are planning novel ways to wield power of the purse against Trump's corrupt prosecutions of critics like Ilhan Omar if they win House. Reps Pramila Jayapal and Jamie Raskin tell me a range of aggressive tactics will be deployed. Details in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/2171...

newrepublic.comTrump’s Vile Prosecution of Ilhan Omar Is About to Run Into a WallIf they retake the House, Democrats will have plenty of ways to act against Trump’s corrupt prosecutions. Pramila Jayapal and Jamie Raskin say they’re going to use them.

Around 175 House Dems just called on Trump's DOJ and DHS to end "weaponization of law enforcement" against Rep Ilhan Omar. The letter is signed by numerous ranking committee Dems, showing depth of support for Omar in leadership and signaling how Dem House will act. newrepublic.com/article/2171...

At the end of lecture this morning I told my students it was none of my business who they voted for, but it was absolutely my business that they voted. "It is, quite literally, the least you can do." They seemed to appreciate it. One young woman even started clapping.

On the same day, huge crowds are welcoming Machado back to Venezuela. Her return was blocked for months by the US-backed regime. Pressure from below finally made it impossible for Trump and Rodriguez to keep her out

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Also for what it is worth, it DIDN'T actually label them as illustrative — and the deception was only apparent because I know the data well. That's scary, because if you use AI for everything, you wouldn't know the data well enough to catch its deceptions.

My social truth for today & always. Seeing & hearing Obama in Ohio, Michigan & elsewhere, was so restorative. How fortunate we were to have a intelligent, thoughtful & respected President. VOTE 💙 so we can save Our Democracy and move forward…empowered & inspired by Obama. #Pinks #Voices4Victory

Criminal slumlord Jared Kushner’s phone being hacked revealed more proof of what I’ve been saying for years, he’s incredibly corrupt, compromised and insidiously evil. He’s everything fascist republicans falsely accused Hunter Biden of being times a trillion. He needs to be jailed for treason.

The people of Serbia celebrating the defeat of the dictator who held full authoritarian control of their country for nearly 14 years. This is what democracy looks like.

Muslims didn’t storm the Capitol on January 6, try to steal an election, or overthrow our government. White Christian nationalists, racist militia groups, and rabid Trump supporters did. We need to stop pretending the biggest terrorist threat to this country is coming from somewhere else.

🔥 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.”

He's threatening people. Who does he think he is? And he's interfered in 2 elections now & is aiding the enemy during war time. He should be charged with the federal crime of treason and then individual state crimes for every battleground state he's rigged. Those can't be pardoned. #LetsGoDems

The plain fact of it is thus: the Trump administration wants to re-segregate higher education. It is a racist project straight-up-no-chaser. Accommodating any of this puts you on the wrong side of history, makes you a collaborator in this project. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...
