Between this and the No Kings protest takedown, it's very clear that Meta has decided that its platforms are going to be an arm of the Republican party. Democrats need to treat them as such.

Meta strongly appears to be an enemy of democracy in the US. Proceed accordingly. If you're a politician, activist, or organization on the left, you HAVE to build your presence off of Meta and X - which basically means here and Mastodon. Bring your audience over as much as possible. It's critical.

This is mostly true. I was in shock and said if the FBI was going to come arrest me then fucking do it already. Ben was the one who held my hand and told that lawyer to fuck off. But YES. We LOVE the NLG. They found me my lawyers and I will owe all of them my life.

Last year today was one of the scariest days of my life. We initially called a lawyer who wanted to work with feds to arrange a perp walk. Kat told that guy to fuck himself. Thank God for the National Lawyer's Guild, who Kat called right after. They were ready to fight the bullshit on zero notice.

The US government poured all its resources into fabricating evidence that day laborer Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a criminal (all because he embarrassed the despot) even as it now rolls out the red carpet for an actual criminal who happens to be an ally of Trump

If Democrats win control of Congress it's because the American people have decided they cannot take another fucking minute of Republicans doing the things they're doing. The job of Dems would not be to get stuff done; it would be to stop stuff from happening.

No. Your attitude has to be that absolutely nothing will get done. If you’re trying to “pass common-sense legislation to help the American people”in this environment you’re a fucking traitor.

I would be willing to entertain a good strategic argument against impeachments but nobody has articulated one that can withstand the slightest bit of critical scrutiny.

Fun fact: it takes fewer votes to impeach and remove the president than to override a veto.

Today is the anniversary of being told by an FBI agent that I was about to be federally indicted. I tried to look for pictures from that day but all there is the tableau of full-body stress hives all over my back. 0/10, take better pictures future Kat

I don't give a shit if the votes are there, @kamalaharris.com. It needs to be done because it's the right thing to do.

That's before adding players who started this season rehabbing from injuries suffered last season: Santi Aldama Bradley Beal Jimmy Butler Donte DiVincenzo Brandon Ingram Dereck Lively II Moses Moody Yanic Konan Niederhauser Henri Veesaar

Players out with long-term (>=four weeks) injuries/illnesses this season: Paolo Banchero Dominick Barlow Anthony Edwards Ariel Hukporti Jaren Jackson Jr. Kawhi Leonard Kristaps Porzingis Shaedon Sharpe Ben Sheppard Ben Simmons Julian Strawther Max Strus Cason Wallace Jalen Williams Mark Williams

What is going on?

Marissa Roy, the first-place finisher in June’s primary for LA city attorney, has vowed to turn the office into the “largest public interest law firm in the city.” Her opponent has focused more on prosecuting homelessness-related offenses and gun crimes.

Do certain pundits still think US voters shouldn’t pay attention to elections overseas?

That’s a staggering fact to take in: About 1/3 of U.S. counties are now contractually partnered with ICE—to say nothing of all the counties assisting ICE more informally. I wrote recently about what this type of collaboration can do to communities: boltsmag.org/frederick-co...

there are people serving life sentences right now on thinner evidence than we have for "donald trump was jeffrey epstein's partner in serial rape" democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

“Her brother said he didn't see marks on Marin's neck at the hospital. As he took pictures, an immigration officer standing guard tried to make him leave the room and delete the photos. Hospital staff defended his right to stay in the hospital room, he said.” Barbarism.

ICE has caged a mentally ill guy with a Florida birth certificate since January bc they want to believe his rantings. To be fair, they're using to believing Stephen Miller's rantings. apnews.com/article/ice-...

Don't let the nice weather fool you, winter is coming! Gotta make sure the kids have what they need. That's the doctor and the dad in me speaking!

"Journalists often use the words 'unsubstantiated' or 'uncorroberated' when referring to the allegations victims have levied against powerful men, like Trump. Instead of saying these women’s accounts are not corroborated, maybe it’s time we say they were not investigated in spite of clear patterns."

Just following orders.

it's cool how there is at least as much evidence atp for voters viewing Abdul as a perfectly normal Democrat as there is for voters viewing him as a scary radical

This is Trump admin fearmongering and an obvious attempt to preemptively sow doubt about election outcomes that favor Democrats. ELECTIONS ARE RUN BY THE STATES, NOT THE FEC. Don't fall for this.

If you thought the Conversion Practices Bill is already bad thanks to all the loopholes and allowances it provides, then don’t worry - it’s about to get worse. The Government are hearing “evidence” from anti-trans campaigners Helen Joyce, Dennis Kavanagh and the LGB Alliance this week.

For several days I have been hearing rumors of an ICE detainee death that ICE was not reporting. I've just learned a local journalist has confirmed it and will publish soon. Now I read this and see there are actually TWO deaths ICE is not reporting. www.daylightsandiego.org/ice-detainee...

One week until Election Day. America deserves better than the pedophile protection party. Knock doors. Make calls. Get your friends to vote. Let’s elect Democrats up and down the ballot and finally make Trump release the Epstein files.

Amazing things happen when you even slightly zoom out on a graph to get actual context.

this is like getting mad at someone for saying “NYC has great Eastern European food at restaurants like Veselka, Agi’s Counter, Pierozek, and Sammy’s Roumanian”

Also, like, it’s very clear that Zohran is referring to multiple aspects of a broadly Eastern European neighborhood of Brighton Beach, some of which are not necessarily Jewish coded (like Syrniki) this is so embarrassing for ADL

the ADL is more mad about Zohran calling a neighborhood Eastern European than Elon giving a Nazi salute Zohran derangement syndrome is real

There's no pretense left. J. K. Rowling made her hate for trans women clear in a slur-filled screed slurring them a dozen times and describing them as deceitful and dangerous. So writes @evanurquhart.bsky.social this morning on Assigned Media. *WARNING: Article quotes Rowling's hateful language.*

Incidentally, little known fact: At least one of the Jan6ers (a MAGA tourist), a Brazilian, made sure to get proof of pardon so he could continue to pursue his asylum case that his prosecution would have precluded.

Wow. Stephen Miller is about the change the rules on who can claim asylum.

Jeremy Lewin killed hundreds of thousands without a signed employment agreement.

The new complaint basically confesses that their key witness is a hearsay witness to facts that the Hunter Biden investigative team, uh, misrepresented.

DOJ is now claiming they can add an obstruction charge -- the one they added to cover up their problems in the first affidavit -- without probable cause that Floris and Benavides committed obstruction.

Every October I write about a few previously-unseen horror movies for The Reveal. Today, a mini-marathon:

The “something” in question was the workers themselves deciding by 1966 that they no longer wanted New Dealer welfare capitalism if it meant black Americans would benefit from it while anti-war protesters were free to burn the flag

A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

the washington free beacon is trying to october surprise abdul by revealing his comms chief used to post bangers

691 words about Cheesecake. 434 words about rape.
