Cool. That means this move was even more illegal than it already was and those programs should have their budgets reinstated- which is what honestly should happen to ALL things cut by DOGE because it WASN’T A LEGIT GOVERNMENT AGENCY!!!!

I’m Moby Dick for Halloween

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

China’s first AI-generated theatrical film, ‘Sanxingdui: Future Past’, has bombed at their domestic box office, only making $121,000 USD against a budget of $1.5M USD. In contrast, the crudely animated ‘Niu Lai’ made nearly $10M USD against a budget of $200-500 USD.

I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

seems increasingly clear we're underestimating how the much the exploitative dem campaign fundraising texting machine has damaged relationships to the party base and straight-up caused harm to vulnerable populations, all for consultant grift. this shit's gotta be ejected from the party apparatus

Mega-donors giving $1M+ make up 54% of GOP fundraising so far this cycle. It’s not just billionaires lining up for Trump’s open air auction of federal policy and contracts. The GOP also spammed and grifted its own small-dollar base into oblivion.

This almost made me cry at work and I’m so glad to have read it therumpus.net/2026/10/13/t...

In reading this article it seems to me that Barclays is doing this cause it’s not hitting its profit forecasts. So they jettison labor costs. Also I’m mentally starting the clock to see how long it takes for them to have a major breach or drop in service because of this.

This is election interference. This is what it ACTUALLY looks like to “steal” an election.

This is a reminder of the ways in which you can influence betting markets with fake scams, at a time where big news outlets like CBS News are incorporating these markets into their coverage and graphics.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

The slop party: "More than 80 percent of the [AI-generated] ads were produced by Republican campaigns or Republican-aligned political action committees."

Meta is a company that’s hostile to democracy. Full stop.

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org
