For the 1st time in US history SCOTUS has more rulings on its shadow docket -- unsigned and with no opinions -- than it has cases where it has heard oral arguments and issued signed rulings. IOW they are hiding their deliberations while stealing our democracy. www.propublica.org/article/supr...

Not on the New York Times home page apparently, but it is on the People home page.

"In a series of interviews with Democratic staff on the House Judiciary Committee, Beatrice Keul said Trump raped her that year in 'brutal' fashion in a hotel room at Trump’s Plaza Hotel in Atlantic City after the pair spent time with Jeffrey Epstein ..."

Elizabeth Holmes is not the face of motherhood for incarcerated women. Jazmin Valentine wailed in agony for 6 hours in labor while staff and nurses LAUGHED at her. She had to resort to sliding her amniotic sac under her cell door to prove she was in labor.

“I don’t want any of us to be or feel un-housed in our bodies our towns our movements ever again. This book is my prayer; if you need to use it as shelter, it’s yours.” My memoir HOME OUT THERE is available for preorder now! bookshop.org/p/books/home...

gonna lose his mind when he discovers where english numbers come from

ICYMI, more ICE deaths. 'Luis Sandoval (48 years-old) ...died while in the custody of (ICE) at the Folkston D. Ray ICE Processing Center Oct. 23...staff found Sandoval with a ligature around his neck' www.ice.gov/news/release... @radleybalko.bsky.social @nikkimcr.bsky.social

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.

Some great research from @nazita.bsky.social on anti-Muslim bias in politics cited in this piece www.vox.com/politics/507...

if voting didn't matter they wouldn't be working so hard to stop you

Wild. Just f'ing wild.

My friends, can you please offer prayers and send some good energy to the Navajo Nation Reservation and surrounding communities. Pilamaya — thank you 🙏🏾 🪶✨

To all the people in the US who say they are "tired" of protesting. Buck up, buttercup.

It's insane that the campaign against El-Sayed is basically that he has some secret relationship with the people that the president's family has a secret relationship with.

Middle East dictators created a massive slush fund for Jared Kushner. trib.al/JrKgx0A

"The degree of liberty or tyranny in any government is, it follows, in large degree a reflection of the relative determination of the subjects to be free and their willingness and ability to resist efforts to enslave them." -Gene Sharp

Trump's DOJ told a judge how to rule. Then it pulled her from court. Karen Donoso Stevens' allegations, which she's sharing publicly because of her deep concern for the court's integrity, were corroborated by contemporaneous notes as well as colleagues, family and attorneys interviewed by WaPo.

Lolol. Can we hear from David Brooks again about what makes a Nazi?

Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

The youngest to be shot was 11 years old. ELEVEN YEARS OLD. In 2026, in the United States of America, the leading cause of death for children is a bullet. The victims and families are in my prayers. But they are also in my actions. We must end gun violence.

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

Google was really trying to hide its water use figures, to the degree that it got the council to try to keep its water use figures secret. The community finally got the actual numbers and found out Google was using 29 percent of the water in the community. www.wired.com/story/what-t...

In all likelihood this story ends badly www.wsj.com/finance/stoc...

Worth watching in full.

Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

Thiiiiiis. I have said this again and again: if colleges wanted to be effective in lowering costs, they would be the #1 advocate for affordable housing in whatever city, town, or neighborhood they live in. Stop being landlords. You don't have $ to maintain all of that infrastructure.

This is really strong reporting. And you see how people can both embrace the advantages of power (1.5x pay, determining how others live) and hide from the reality, pointing community members' kindness as a response to the quality of his character rather than as a harm reduction strategy.

SLOK: “.. Revenue per worker is rising for the Mag 7 but is flat for the S&P 493. .. Mainstream corporate America is pulling back and starting to view token spending not as a source of growth but as a cost center that weighs on margins.” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

scott galloway and jessica tarlov held an event here in town yesterday where “don’t impeach or waste time on investigations because ‘28” was the consensus position of the panel. so yeah, this is something to anticipate.

Been interesting to see hard-hitting pieces in NYT and WaPo this week with clear, accurate headlines, appearing right before an election predicted to favor Dems. It's just hedging the bet. If Dems lose or just win a weak majority in the House, their ability to name things clearly will disappear.

I gave Yasmany Moreno a heads-up that up to 100 third-country nationals would be joining him in Central African Republic, and that I’d heard a lot of them might be Cubans and Venezuelans. This morning, he says 90 Cuban men and 5 Cuban women have arrived. Here he is welcoming some of them.

So @lilianasegura.bsky.social and I just co-wrote a piece about the bodycam footage in the Kohan Wiley case. theintercept.com/2026/10/23/k...

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

What exactly is the White House planning to do leading up to the midterm elections that would necessitate a mass pardon for junior staffers?

Sadly, no one here is is running for Sheriff in either Ramsey or Hennepin County.

Any disenfranchisement is an outrage, but these fascists are such clods they’re disenfranchising their own voters. (Reminder: in Mn, you can check your mail ballot’s progress & you can vote in person early or on Election Day if it hasn’t been tabulated.) mnvotes.sos.mn.gov/abstatus/index
