Some context around this, from a markets person. Historically in LatAm, leftist victories have led to sharp losses over the ~3 months after an election where the left wins. Stocks also typically underperformed into those victories. But 3y post-election, returns for leftists have been *higher*.

Lewis Wade 🗃️@wadehistory.bsky.social

It's very, very telling, I think, that the markets are so concerned about the pro-democracy incumbent winning

literally we’re killing the miracle technology lmfao

It certainly says something™️ when the DSA’s “red line” prohibits association with pro-two state solution groups and does not prohibit supporting Russian imperialism.

Peter Sterne@petersterne.com

At the 2025 DSA national convention, DSA voted to pass Resolution 22, which sets red lines for candidates and members. Candidates who don't support BDS or work with Zionist groups are ineligible for endorsement & members who actively oppose BDS could face expulsion. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

NEW: DSA's National Political Committee passed two resolutions today aimed at Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman, beginning processes that could result in DSA-LA being forced to rescind its endorsement of her this weekend and/or Raman herself being expelled from DSA by January.

americans have never thought their government was more corrupt than it is now and then—in their great wisdom—they elected the corruption president a second time

My wife's e-bike was stolen. We bought a new e-bike. Two weeks later the new e-bike was also stolen. The thief arrived on a regular bike (likely stolen too) and abandoned it. Then the abandoned regular bike was stolen as well by yet another thief.

Robert Reich is a NIMBY so it is completely unsurprising that he is endorsing Chan, the NIMBY candidate in this race

Tom Steyer endorsed Scott Wiener for Pelosi’s House seat, while former U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich endorsed Connie Chan. missionlocal.org/2026/10/stey...

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

Trump: "You know, the first question -- they have a lion, a snake, a giraffe, and a bear. And they say 'which is the snake?' ... by the time you get to number five a lot of people are left out on the road ... I get no credit for it."

It's a choice (a bad one) to tell readers this driver "passed too close to cyclists" when there's video evidence showing he drove his car into them, made contact and hurt someone. Fellow journalists: we can explore the nuances of punishment for drivers without obfuscating their dangerous behavior.

The generation that got to buy cheap houses thanks to a postwar construction boom, then blocked new housing construction to juice their asset values is now whining that they have to pay taxes on their unearned wealth. Just breathtaking selfishness.

unfortunately it’s mostly helping young people in rural/conservative communities become hitler

Karen James@kejames.bsky.social

A hill I will die on: people slag off social media (and more generally, the internet), but the way it helps 1) young people esp. in rural/conservative places understand they’re not alone & 2) adults keep their chosen family, friends & support networks with them at all times is massively underrated.

this means at least one of four things. he doesn’t plan to live much longer, he plans to stay in office longer, he thinks he won’t get prosecuted or the person filing this is a fucking idiot

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social

Trump *himself* filed a financial disclosure form this year that asserted he made over a billion dollars last year. That's not a claim from the fake news, or the crazy liberals. That is Trump's own filing.
