If she wins a full term in November, Fire Thunder would join a growing number of Indigenous women successfully seeking higher office across the country. In Montana, the success of these candidates is a result of decades of women-led organizing on the ground.

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

there’s no such thing as “strategic bigotry.” I know this because there is no amount of money you could pay me to become a bigot. the democrats who do this agree to do it because they’re bigots

“.. Video footage, Sheriff Greene said, clearly showed a woman being punched in the face. ‘I know what people saw, and if I saw that video, too, I’d be like, ‘My God, why didn’t the police do anything?’” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/u...

Still covering Elon Musk as a business mogul and not foregrounding his murderous white nationalist politics is like doing a piece on only the clown career of John Wayne Gacy.

“The communications backbone for an entire country’s military has gone down and nobody knows who is responsible” Yeah we’re gonna need to send people to prison and start nationalizing things.

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

BREAKING: SCOTUS rejects Trump admin's request to allow it to end gender-affirming medical care in prisons — a significant, if tentative, rejection of one of the admin's most extreme anti-trans arguments. Only Thomas and Alito noted they would have granted the stay. More to come: www.lawdork.com

With the election looming, the GOP is calling in the big guns. Which means having a megachurch freak named Timmy dispatch an army of walleyed 23yo home-school casualties with YouTube diction to opposing candidates' rallies, where they will demand those candidates reject and denounce the WNBA.

I would like to once again cordially tap the sign: please support billionaire free, worker-led and/or independent news how and when you can. Marisa's work here is the kind of reporting we want on the regular, about everything of public concern

This is the most incredible, instructive, and destructive development in modern politics.

David Axelrod and David Brooks clutching their pearls because El-Sayed didn’t roll over for a racist is such a perfect example of America’s white guy politics that it would sound made up if you put it in a novel

ultimately it's shit like this that makes the decline of birth rates and resulting demographic skewing towards old people self-reinforcing. Greedy, wealthy retired people voting to destroy the funding for public services they relied on throughout their life now that they no longer need them

Haunting explanation from a ESPN producer on why she quit over the network’s all-out embrace of sports betting: www.cjr.org/the-intervie...

Absolutely horseshit. We have far too many cops and not enough social programs to lift people up from poverty.

I can’t tell whether the idea that my car would contain multiple kgs of tnt equivalent of hydrazine or that is a sentient slave experiencing Maryland traffic against its will is worse. Honestly.

One of the many things I love about El-Sayed is that he's willing to engage with someone hostile if it gets them to admit the premises behind that hostility, to the extent that it becomes impossible to avoid the underlying bigotry. You want to go there, fine, but he's gonna make you own it.

So the order to slow down Starshield/Starlink came from inside the White House and the Ukrainian’s murdered by Putin were assisted byUncle Sam. If we ever have a functioning Congress again we should have, you know, a hearing or something. If it doesn’t get in the way of podcasts.

“I’m not going to work for a gambling company and have blood on my hands.” -- Nicole Noren, 24-year ESPN veteran and winner of Emmy, Murrow, and Peabody awards. Her grandfather, father and one of my brothers "were pretty much destroyed by sports gambling addiction." www.cjr.org/the-intervie...

“Fuck Max Miller in particular.” - Khan Pritzker

Slavery was and is a real thing that has brutalized hundreds of millions of people over the course of human history, if someone tells me a fucking chatbot is enslaved I'm immediately throwing hands. It's not cute, it's not intriguing, it's an insult to real people who suffered and suffer now.

This language endangers lives. It treats gay people as by definition worthy of contempt and less than fully human and trustworthy. To discuss it as "strategy" or an odd "choice" is to put yourself in the service of minimizing it, to volunteer as thecleanup crew for evil men. I'm sick of it.

It's not "strikingly juvenile" and it's not a "personal broadside." It's hate speech. The Vice President is trying to get people to vote against a Democrat by implying that he's gay and/or a pedophile and/or a fetishist. Take it seriously. It is on a par with every other kind of hate speech.

The words you're looking for are "attempted murder charges" He intentionally drove his SUV into a pedestrian

I reanalyzed the CDC data behind the LGB “free fall” headline. It rests on a change in bisexual identification among one grade, in one wave, of one survey. Gay or lesbian identification did not change significantly. Calling it a "free fall" is sensational and just gives bad actors talking points.

Right-wing online influencers: We can't prove Talarico *didn't* go to a rehab in Ohio NYT: We can, we saw video proof WSJ: Speaking of, we saw video of Paxton partying at the Burj Khalifa with his girlfriend and two men under federal indictment for fraud, one of whom donated to Paxton's campaign

There is absolutely no viable path forward for this country that doesn’t hinge on extreme accountability for everyone involved in this administration. They’re going to whine about politicization and credulous media types will echo them, but the thing is, they’ve committed tons of obvious crimes!

these companies need to be strangled to death with the full force of the regulatory state at the soonest opportunity

This is a wild story, beautifully told. He Went Out on an Epic Wilderness Adventure. Only His Dogs Came Back. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

We've lived for so long with this mythology that sure, the wealthy can be cruel. But at least the cruelty has a point. Profit! I'd like us to open our hearts to other possibilities. Power doesn't just corrupt! It can also breed truly reality-distorting levels of incompetence.

Russia is also supporting Iran against us. This guy is the biggest asshat on the planet.

This is every women I know right now

Oregon State is kicking all kinds of ass in the new Pac 12 on USA Network Characters Welcome

Hey Ukraine as an American I say blow that shit up. If our problem was a lack of diesel we'd stop exporting 1.5m barrels/day of it. Trump's fake deal with an imperialist dictator will not impact our diesel prices and should have no impact on your survival strategy.

It's World Homeless Day, and I'll just say: Homelessness isn't some great unsolvable mystery. People are homeless because they don't have homes. This suffering persists not for lack of solutions, but because enormous wealth and power are invested in maintaining the very structures that produce it.

Tim McVeigh killed 167 people in Oklahoma City but his name was "Tim," not "Nidal" so ...

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

I snapped this on the bay while heading out to crab yesterday.I would call it a fog rainbow for lack of a better term.Magical. #rainbow #fog #crabbing #photography
