Hey Meta 👋 We are currently hosting a get-out-the-vote rally in Osceola County, home to a large Puerto Rican community, and our #LatinosConAngie Instagram page was suddenly taken down while we were actively posting content from the event.

The breaking of the GOP controlled NCGA might be one of the most important outcomes of this election cycle.

If you're a D or D-adjacent voter in NC and haven't voted yet, you have the chance to help deliver truly historic curb-stomping to the R supermajorities in the NCGA Please go vote 😄

Say it with me folks, SKILL ISSUE

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

He’s playing with an injured shoulder/back and still managed to hold on to that ball.

Sal Frelick, my goodness. The Brewers just give you zero chances.

Muslims developed Algebra, most of modern medicine has its roots traced back to the Islamic caliphates from 1000 years ago. The only reason the Muslim world “stopped” developing these things, is that leaders arose who decried math and science the world of the devil. There’s a lesson for us here.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

The Brewers clearly want this more than anyone else. The Rays bullpen has come in two games in a row and blown it.

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.

Not really sure what’s causing the intolerance label here.

Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.

The Brewers just don’t give up and have been able to close out the games in incredibly tough situations.

What we learned is that former petrochemical lobbyists now inside the EPA are meeting with former clients and then moving to force career staff at the EPA to rollback public health protections. We found the actual documents detailing these moves. Smoking guns. (Redlines striking protections)

Lmao, no, she did not.

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.

I know it’s worth getting the flu and Covid shots but holy hell do the shots this year hurt more than ever. Still better than catching flu or Covid.

Anyone have that meme of the internet being held up by one piece of code written 20 years ago?

Charlie Warzel@cwarzel.bsky.social

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...

The State Department has asked some foreign service officials up for promotion who they voted for in the 2016, 2020 and 2024 presidential elections, raising concerns the agency is violating a federal law that bars politicized personnel decisions within the nonpartisan ranks.

Seriously do not fuck with a Moose. Do not honk your car or truck horn at a moose, it might be the last thing you do.

I’m just saying, at least mlb umpires when they miss a call it’s because a ball is moving at 100mph or curving like a scythe. This is just ridiculous

Even during the height of WW2 we did not postpone elections. Heck not even during the civil war when DC was on the frontlines did we stop holding elections.

Trump and his allies are pulling out all the stops to rig the midterms. One of their tactics: declaring a national emergency. In our new Deep Dive series, we break down five threats Republicans pose to our elections. Know the playbook before they try to use it: https://demdock.com/4sg6pZP
