That's Montgomery Clift, Honey

The heavy lifting belongs to every single goddamned one of us. People with cooked brains and large followings don’t get off the hook just because they’re in a minority group. They are a threat not just to their own in-group but to all of us.

@literaryhub.bsky.social Fuck off with this nonsense. People do what they want to do. They don't do what they don't want to do. People have moral agency. Fascist racists are fascist racists because they want to be, not because anyone "made them" or because democracy was drunk.

The majority of white voters adopting a mass school shooter mindset in response to living under a Black president and potentially living under a woman president is what paved the way for fascism, but go off blaming anything for fascism except the fascist voters themselves.

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

UN credibility is already in tatters. This will be the end of whatever remains.

interestingly this interest in black voters doesn’t extend to the republican effort to deprive them of federal representation, nor do they seem interested in asking whether republican candidates are burdened by the fact that trump talks like a klansman

I'm going to start this thread on the presidential count in Brazil—so people who are interesting can follow along. With 3% of vote counted, Lula up 51.3 to 48.7 (that's a lead of 103K). Pattern in 2022 & in R1 was Lula down big at 1st, then closing gap, but that's shaken up by today's 2-hour delay.

a culture-wide affinity fraud, designed to separate frightened old white people from their money www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/10/the-...

I'm going to say this plainly & bluntly. We were never ever Fighting Democrats. It wasn't Democrats who loved Anita Bryant people! It was Republicans. It wasn't Democrats who called us sick, twisted, morally corrupt or mentally ill. It was Republicans.

We don’t know if the early vote will be predictive because all Republicans could just be waiting to vote until Election Day. But what this means in practice is that to win, Trump/GOP will have to have the most successful EDay mobilization operation in modern history— and that it’s completely stealth

Pardons won’t stop investigations. Those go forward regardless. Pardons mean DOJ can’t prosecute crimes referred by oversight committees but this DOJ wouldn’t prosecute anyway.

Bill Clinton: "I think Congress made a mistake not protesting turning the Rose Garden into what looks like the entrance to Liberace's bathroom"

Given the shift in media ownership over the Trump era, Democrats REALLY need to learn to ignore media handwringing now. Because I have no doubt their every move for accountability will be attacked from every possible angle.

If Trump succeeds in overthrowing our democracy, what will people in mainstream media say about their role in it? You’d want them to be able to say: “We did our best to warn the public.” But so far, all they could say would be: “We bent over backwards to be fair to the fascists.”

It’s a subject that makes a lot of people uncomfortable and calling them corrupt and evil is easier. But the truth is that Republicans have a rape problem—one that they celebrate.

This is good reporting but as always with NYT they adamantly refuse to connect any dots. The evidence that Trump is a Russian asset is overwhelming but they will never, ever even do so much as to hint at it. It’s all just a bunch of standalone stories to them.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of Mary Peltola's campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Elias Law Group has filed to fight DOJ's lawsuit to rig the Alaska Senate election. We will win this case, Mary will win this election, she will be certified and seated.

Scoop: White House lawyers are weighing preemptive mass pardons for junior staff, sources says Under discussion: Pardoning everyone involved in deportation, war, or trade policy www.washingtonsun.com/whitehouse/w...

Ukrainian drones have reached deep into Siberia in a spectacular another long-range operation, targeting Russia’s massive Omsky Kauchuk chemical plant in Omsk, approximately 2,500 kilometers from Ukraine. Established in 1962, the Soviet-era industrial giant is..

I would enjoy one, and only one, October Surprise.

"Antizionism isn't antisemitism." said all the new Nazis as they adjusted their keffiyehs to drape stylishly. "We're just making maps of all the Jewish businesses in Barcelona for AWARENESS."

Trump's art of the Russian deal. Putin gets massive sanctions relief. Ukraine gets its defenses crippled. And the United States gets less than one day's worth of diesel and no meaningful relief at the pump. www.nbcnews.com/business/ene...

The Executive Branch has no authority to regulate states’ election decisions as to candidate qualifications, and the choice to file a lawsuit like this just days before an election speaks volumes about the political corruption festering at the top levels of the DOJ.

🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelensky: The speed limits on Starlink and Starshield are still there. The speed has not been restored. And the delivery of interceptors to protect us against Russian ballistic missiles is still delayed. This is a real problem, because the Russians attack us almost every single day.

NYT still not showing the slightest interest in the $2 billion in bribes taken by Maggie Haberman's longtime family friend.

In his defense of Ramaswamy’s vile ad, Trump called Amy Acton a “defective” candidate. As a former rape crisis counselor who has worked with countless survivors of childhood sexual assault, I want to speak a bit about how profoundly damaging that is. 🧵

I'm so old I remember the media going wild over emails bc they were HaCkEd OmG!!!! Vital national security stuff like a risotto recipe were headline news for months, right up until the media's preferred candidate won. Now that Kushner has been hacked revealing massive corruption, it'll be crickets.

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

Man mentioned 30,000 times in the Epstein Files attacking a victim of child rape — who could see it coming?

Trump doubles down on the Vivek ad

Cargo cult or Underpants gnomes, who can say? 1. Deport Ilhan Omar. 2. … 3. America is great again.

Behold, Vladimir Putin, great humanitarian.

serious question

In Kharkiv today, russia struck an ordinary commuter train. Killing kids, striking markets, Killing dogs, burning trains - everything is possible if you are a great "humanitarian"

I did not know this. Holy crap.

This is some bullshit (the charges not the statement).

Pete Hegseth demanded his team to bring Eisenhower's globe in his office, despite warnings that only historians should move the iconic globe. His staff dropped it and broke it.

You’ve asked about contingency planning in case the Trump administration takes steps to subvert a free and fair election on November 3rd— @hcrichardson.bsky.social and @neguse.house.gov are talking about about this tomorrow at 4:00pm ET. Tune in live: www.youtube.com/live/xzyynbx...

Trump supports this.

To the cable news producers and hosts who follow me here: Find time to book Whitney on your show. No need to mention me or my podcast. But she deserves to be heard. And Texas voters need to be reminded of what Gregg Abbott did.

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

There would be impeachment hearings the next day.
