🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration asked Washington to set aside ballots from around 400 registered voters it claims may be noncitizens. The alarming request comes amid the DOJ's legal effort to compel California to do the same to 20k voters.

Good Evening, Bluesky Family & Friends Tonight's "Nocturne" is another Hugo Wolf song, with German lyrics written from the Italian Songbook of Paul Heyse. This is No. 37, and it is sung by men, because it's sung to a woman, Violet, that is keeping him from going to heaven. Must be some Violet:

Folks across Iowa have watched diesel, fertilizer, grocery, and utility bills climb while the people running Washington got comfortable. For family farms and working towns alike, every dollar of that cost is a dollar out of the operation. It's time D.C. worked for Iowa. Josh Turek will get to work.

#MO02 is within reach! Ann Wagner has spent over a decade enriching herself and ignoring her constituents. Costs have risen and corruption is rampant. Enough is enough! Vote for lower costs, accountability and better healthcare. Vote Fred Wellman for MO-02!

Noooo! Not Chekov! His banter with Sulu and occasional pushback on Kirk was a delightful addition to OG Star Trek. I loved his character as a child. Godspeed, Mr. Koenig.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

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.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

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.

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.
