Politico wrote up Zohran playing basketball with the uncovering-a-big-scandal tone the same day the NYTimes wrote up "credible allegation that The President of the United States raped a woman" as a political strategy story. Broken media in a nutshell

You can put aside socialist-leftist prescriptions about how dangerous that alliance is, if you would like. But everything I read, across the political spectrum, agrees that these countries are connected. It is just civic maturity to pay attention to Brazil's election.

I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.

I guess he doesn’t disagree about the Saddam Hussein part?

this might rank as one of the most important outcomes of the night if it happens. would give dems the ability to begin to make north carolina a democracy

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...

"The robots aren't inevitably coming. The point is that the bosses have a drive which is to deskill and devalue and dehumanize our labor." Naomi and I had a lot of fun at this event with @novaramedia.com hosted by the inimitable Ash Sarkar www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKGx...

Haley Stevens represents everything wrong with the Democratic Party. She moved into Andy Levin's district and took AIPAC's millions to defeat him in a primary. He is Jewish, she is not. She's accused Abdul El Sayed of antisemitism and bad Black outreach. The party would be better without her.

It’s late October. People are voting right now. If you cannot deliver a convincing, full throated endorsement of the Democratic nominee in the potentially deciding race for the Senate, stay the fuck off television

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.

Trump is trying to make the world safe for autocracy.

Many comments on the great election victories in Brazil and Serbia state that the authorian right is in decline or that voters have rejected far-right authoritarianism. That is a wrong interpretation of what happened. Progressive movements mobilized and beat the authoritarian right. That's different

I think Richarlson is the only member of the Brazilian national team who came out against Bolsonaro (or for Lula).

Lula, the MST and the PT have many, many lessons for the American left. At this point, I think you’d have to consider Lula the most successful leftist politician of the last…40 years?

Serbia’s strongman leader Vucic concedes defeat to student-led movement in seismic political shift

Everyone thought Lula was cooked, hopeless. Then he bought a phone and started posting and now he's gonna get a 4th term. The lesson is to never stop posting.

Brazilian right-wingers watching the results come in.

Today is the last day to vote for NYC DSA chapter convention delegates. I am running in the North Brooklyn branch. I am a labor, tenant, and electoral organizer, former wildland firefighter and ecologist, and believe in a democratic road to socialism and a popular front against fascism.

Republicans are trying to make it illegal for Republicans to lose elections. Republicans don’t believe the American people have the right to govern ourselves.

He’s literally describing himself.

Don't have a very firm grasp on Chelsea's level right now but I'd still say that's the best 45 of football Spurs have played in a hell of a while.

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Just as a private equity firm buys out a corporation and strips it for parts, a consultant class is raiding the Democratic Party and getting “generationally wealthy” along the way New from me and @adambonica.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2163...

After we remove the regime from power, we need to break up the media monopolies the fascist oligarchs have purchased.

Matt Schlapp, CEO of CPAC, speaking at event w/ Marshall Rawson tonight Again: Rawson was active w/ white supremacist group League of the South; marched at infamous Nazi rally in Charlottesville; advocated killing LGBTQ people; wrote "lynchings worked" Has not denounced/apologized for any of it

Republicans want to make it illegal for Republicans to lose elections because they don't believe the American people should be free to govern ourselves.

I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.

New: We found cops who kept using Flock to spy on women after they left the force. One used it for five years after retirement, tracking his wife during a custody battle. Another ran searches while he was suspended (and later fired) after killing a 15-year-old boy. Free to read: wapo.st/3UEwWU7

does the media ever—ever—ask republicans to disavow this open white supremacist?
