Thanks to the Speak Out Act, victims of abuse who are forced to sign an NDA can publicly name their abusers @julieroginsky.bsky.social @gretchencarlson0.bsky.social #EpsteinFiles substack.com/note/m-f7da8...

"Domestic elections are rarely won on foreign policy, and this one was no different. But Lula’s defiance against what he has described as US interference in Brazilian affairs evoked a patriotic spirit that proved an effective campaigning tool." Can we do the same with Elon Musk?

I love Zeteo’s video and social teams lol.

I felt I really needed to write about Rowling's essay, not because it's new, but because it's so poisonous and ugly that it felt like sanitizing her not to acknowledge it on my trans news site.

This is a very different beast from her 2020 essay, which plausibly read as reasonable concerns to the uninitiated. And one of the most interesting differences is that the 2020 essay spent a third of its wordcount on transgender men, who Rowling portrayed as girls misled into transitioning.

Six years later, that pose of concern is gone, as is any acknowledgement that slightly more than half of all trans people were assigned female at birth. Rowling today speaks only about transgender women, and only in the most odious terms imaginable.

I don’t agree with Nicki Minaj or how she’s being used by the Trump admin to attempt to sway black women voters, but once again MAGA has reduced a woman to nothing more than “look at her ass” during one of the most consequential elections in American History. We are not okay.

We are in utterly unknown territory now. The sea surface temperature in the El Niño zone is currently tracking at 3.48°C ABOVE the 30 year baseline. Way beyond anything seen before. Brace for catastrophic impact on lives and global food supply chains.

Note, the MOST IMPORTANT change is that they swapped FBI agents (and added critical elements that were missing from the original affidavit). This is clean up, the obstruction charge is likely only the excuse to do that.

Please, read and share. www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

“Every unhappy nation is unique. But the mood overlap between countries such as Hungary and Serbia, both of which have recently thrown out rightwing populists in corruption-dominated elections, and today’s America is striking.” My column as.ft.com/r/c8ced69e-f...

Absolutely the fuck not.

Cole crops (cabbage, kale, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, & more)are all derived from a single species, wild mustard (Brassica oleracea) native to Europe. Kohl is German for cabbage. So now you know why cabbage salad is called coleslaw. greengardeningmatters.blogspot.com/2014/09/cole...

Mainlining every story about how Lula's army used a WhatsApp group to beat Baby Bolso. What have you seen?

Kevin Hassett: "The affordability crisis is a myth"

"I'm a multimillionaire with a cushy government job. Affordability is not a problem for me and that's all I care about."

Two former Governors of South Carolina - one from each party - have endorsed Democrat Annie Andrews who is running against Sen. Darline Graham R-SC

What endangered species did he kill on this trip?

"one Altai argali — an endangered sheep prized for its huge horns"

Real screencaps from Don Jr's "hunting trip" in Mongolia with his new Kremlin handler, Umar Kremlev. Taxpayers paid $18,715 to put up his Secret Service details for 14 days, but if they were in hotel rooms, I guess they didn't get to hunt? www.ft.com/content/f41f...

Hell yeah

I think it doesn't reflect well on the BBC that one its leading presenters is allowed to write an 'analysis' for a highly partisan newspaper which includes lines like "Racial minorities, worshipped by white Democrats" www.dailymail.com/news/article...

HUGE, GOOD NEWS: In total reversal from Friday’s stonewalling, perjury-flirting “status report,” ICE now says it has secured a one-way travel document so Ahmed Soliman can return to the US via a commercial flight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BREAKING: Judge Reyes has issued a preliminary injunction over the golf course and begins with this: "Rarely, if ever, has the United States Department of Justice urged a federal court not to believe the sitting President." ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

NEW: Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said in an interview with extremist organization Live Action that his intervention in surrogacy cases is about promoting fetal personhood—an argument that could imperil not just surrogacy, but also abortion, IVF, and some forms of birth control.

NEW: I'm joining a coalition of AGs demanding answers from Meta for suspending the No Kings Coalition's Instagram during nationwide protests. Meta must protect legitimate political activity of its platforms. We won't let Big Tech censor activism ahead of Election Day.

I think a lot of people outside of Alaska have forgotten that Daniel J. Sullivan is a real person. From the latest @alaska.bsky.social article on the election, this quote is a good reminder of how hard it has been on him simply to run under his own name. FYI - there are 9 Dan Sullivans in AK.

Thanks to everyone who has watched as I’ve shared all of the “250 to 250” videos for which I wrote scripts. This is the last one, & how fitting to have it read by @hcrichardson.bsky.social herself since the “250 to 250” project was her idea. Tonight: the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Some of the most meaningful moments on the campaign trail have been spending time up in the Sault with the Bay Mills and Sault tribes. We must protect tribal sovereignty, protect our Great Lakes, and ensure everyone can get a good job and know that our basic rights and dignities are preserved.

We're tracking every prominent Republican credibly accused of DUI since 2000 with almost 150 added so far.

#204/2026 Town councilor Shellie Flockhart [R-IA] pleaded guilty to child endangerment and DUI after driving more than 3x the legal limit with two children in her car in 2017. She just starred in a $1M GOP attack ad lecturing parents about who is "dangerous to kids." She should look in the mirror.

Heritage is campaigning for the dismantlement of Title IX, calling its guarantee of equal rights a "failed experiment." The author of its recent report says “we live under a regime of compulsory feminism." He says women who pursue careers are "medicated, meddlesome and quarrelsome."

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.

Today is certainly a perfect day to talk about youth mobilization and the massive untapped -and untamed- potential therein!

NEW: US lawmakers say the Trump administration is breaking the law by withholding a secret court opinion about the surveillance of Americans, even as it presses Congress to renew America’s most sweeping surveillance program.

And I'll remind you that we are in game time now. Don't let Elon's fascism machine frame this election.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Kavanaugh stops in action: ICE tackled a non-verbal kid near his school, left him with injuries requiring surgery, and then left the scene when they realized he wasn't the person they were looking for www.independent.com/2026/10/23/i...

Yesterday, Brazil and Serbia secured major wins for democracy. In 8 days, it’s our turn. #NoKings ❌👑

That this is in THE WASHINGTON POST is almost too much irony to bear.

New in PN: Ramaswamy discovers that voters have their limits "This is the nature of today’s right-wing bubble, whose residents are not only acculturated to a particular political style — cruel, often hateful — but become convinced it’s the only effective way to do politics, & any other way is weak"
