Another person has died in ICE custody β€” this is the 28th known death this year. The cruelty of this rogue agency is beyond unconscionable. Abolish ICE.

It is so important that European leaders acknowledge the truth as Kaja Kallas does here. Trump and the USG have been trying to force Ukraine to surrender for almost two years. There has been no recent pivot to Russia. It’s been a constant US policy www.euronews.com/2026/10/20/k...

euronews.comKallas accuses US of pushing Ukraine to 'surrender on Putin's terms'"American negotiators have been trying to push Ukraine into surrender for almost two years," Kaja Kallas said amid rising EU-US tensions.

It takes a few minutes and so worth it

i mean, just look at how the populists talked about the railroad barons and others like them. "The fruits of the toil of millions are boldly stolen to build up colossal fortunes, unprecedented in the history of the world, while their possessors despise the republic and endanger liberty."

plenty of 20th century examples by my 19th century-pilled mind goes immediately to the railroads, which were HUGELY DISRUPTIVE and deeply enmeshed in politics in ways quite analogous to silicon valley and AI

HHS wants to relax regulations on human subject research (The Common Rule). For example, they want to redefine β€œundue influence” on vulnerable human research subjects (children, prisoners, disabled, culturally disadvantaged). 1/

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

After fifteen years of studying the anti-vax movement, I came to the conclusion that upholding legal requirements for vaccines for school entry is the single most important thing we can do. You cannot use facts to convince someone who did not employ facts to make their decision. So use the law.

There is no comparison for how fast Trump has destructed government and wrecked the nation. But he’s also more unpopular than he ever has been β€” and that should encourage us to continue resisting, speaking out, and voting.

We need to go further than just a moratorium, we need to dismantle the Orwellian Big Brothers surveillance system. Take down the flock cameras, sell off the components , tear down the existing data centers and create rational laws that benefit people instead of corporations. Enough is enough

You know the United States is an unpleasant place when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would rather live in a country with newspapers and relatives that hate them.

Exactly! Get out there and register voters, and then encourage your friends to make a plan to vote!

Ossoff: "I have zero interest in running for president in 2028, and frankly zero interest in the 2028 fantasy football right now ... these midterms are the whole ballgame ... I don't know that we have a free and fair election in 2028 unless we restore checks and balances in these 2026 midterms."

β€œWe” did not lose a war with β€œIran.” The U.S. govt, seeking to become a regime, lost a war with the Iranian regime. Both have long histories of murderousness toward the people in their immediate control. Both are fossil fuel pyramid schemes, exchanging all of our futures for short-term vanities.

the bottom line is that Trump has been on Putin's side since day one, but every now and then he'll do a little head fake ("Maybe I'll allow Ukraine to make patriot missiles!") to throw people off the scent
