NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Will anyone—anyone at all—ask Trump about the rape allegations published in an official report by the House Judiciary Democrats? Or will he continue to escape accountability for his violence?

Democracy celebrations in Brazil and Serbia after both countries defeat Israel-US-Russia backed fascists.

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Reading the House Judiciary Report on Trump and Epstein and one thing I have been thinking about a lot lately is that Todd Blanche really needs to be charged and tried for almost everything you couldn't build a worse person in a lab democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Perhaps a small percentage of Republicans who somehow didn't believe all the sexual predator allegations against Trump in 2016 & 2024, even when he admitted it on Access Hollywood, will be more receptive now that they know he's lied to them. He's a rapist - smoke➡️🔥 share.google/n53gBBXyV7uh...

I am having a hard time even finding details. Is this Time Magazine more thorough? time.com/article/2026...

this is a perfectly reasonable list, imo these four are all monumentally awful on trans issues and this is a more than fair place to draw the line, especially given how the elections currently look - three of them are in the house, where dems will romp regardless, and iowa can do better than turek

It's National Lie Down For A Bit Day

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...

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.

America's Highway Trust Fund spends far more than it brings in in gas and truck taxes, and the US constantly bails the fund out from the federal general fund and by taking out loans. The Bay Area will pay ~$1.3B/year to bail out the fund yet again, starting in 2028. From @maxmautner.com.

This drives me CRAZY. I grew up playing sports w/ boys. I played on a U12 boys select soccer team, b4 switching to a U12 girls team that kept beating us. Nobody had any issue with any of it. Youth sports have never had the strict sex/gender boundaries that “XX-XY” activists are now trying to defend.

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

I ain’t reading all that

Proof point that this dependency compromises your humanity? ✅

I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.

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

Shocker

Sandhill cranes have returned to the Minnesota farm field where my father was born. His mother remembered them from her childhood, but he never saw them until a decade or two or so back.

Took a walk in my old neighborhood today.

This pretty well encapsulates the whole experience Spoiler just get the ice cream

if you believe that Melania Trump negotiated a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, I've got a $5,000 Trump dividend and some Melania memecoin to sell you

It's not an exclusive phenomenon to women. There are men who consider themselves to be nice guys who the moment you question their nice guy status they'll start demanding that you justify constantly breaking their balls and explain that this kind of purity testing is why the left fails at everything

(The nice guy man is also unable to sit comfortably at the apex of masculinist dominance, or has other characteristics about him that leave him anxious to find a niche where he's safely under some and comfortably above others, these games dominate social hierarchy)

I have sometimes felt stupidly naive in continuing to believe that ordinary people reject the current administration’s cruelties, but at least sometimes I’m right: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

I can't get over how her colleagues don't defend her. At least reask the question.

The Gender Critical lobby is now targeting the Conversion Practices Bill. Make no mistake: attacking this bill means backing the continued abuse of LGBTQ+ people. Conversion practices are abusive practices. Tell your MP you support a ban: www.banconversionpractices.com/write-to-you...

I think it is fair to say that he did celebrate this act of violence.

fwiw back in 2019, the last time the Trump admin directed federal authorities to comb through Ilhan Omar’s immigration records, they found no evidence of wrongdoing but actual legal wrongdoing is very much not the point of this "investigation" ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...
