A US citizen hoping we can stop the fascists and pre-obedience cowards from turning the US into Putin's Russia.

I keep thinking back to one time ~6 to 8 years ago when I made small talk with a journalist at a trade show. He was from Russia. He told me how in Russia cable news / TV networks liked how US media companies were gaining viewership and revenue with bullshit "news" programs that blurred facts.

People don’t understand why I keep noting that BlueSky is not a bubble, it is a counterpublic. It serves its own organizational function: you can see in realtime in January 2025, on multiple types of social media, shouting that an executive order is instruction to an agency. This one stuck.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

I believe in government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Mike Rogers believes in government of the billionaires, by the corporations, and for the special interests.

It's not surprising that shit like this is cropping up. Everyone should expect this from Republicans.

🚨Breaking: TEXAS VOTING NUMBERS DON’T MATCH. Bexar County reported nearly 18,000 mail ballots. The state showed EIGHT. Fort Bend reported 75,000+ in-person votes. The state showed barely 41,000. Officials cite problems with the state’s election system. Source: Houston Chronicle

It’s not just about who’s with you on stage. It’s about who’s with you backstage. Grateful for her love and partnership yesterday and every day…

Trump is a moron who is destroying the USA, US companies, the middle class, and the whole working class along with our military, healthcare system (however bad it was), democracy, and rule of law . . . all for Putin.

🚨 BREAKING: Lula is projected to WIN reelection as president of Brazil, defeating Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro and an ally of Donald Trump. The projection comes just ONE DAY after Reuters exposed a Trump administration effort to help return the Bolsonaro family to power.

These fucking criminals know they are committing crimes. Republicans know exactly what's going on and side with the criminals because they are criminals too or they are blackmailed or threatened or just chicken shit. That's why it's up to the people to vote these bastards out. It's imperative.

Well, well, well…. An analysis of voter registration records reveals Republican operative Scott Presler had 3 out-of-state voters use his Pennsylvania address to vote in the 2024 election. This is what voter fraud looks like.

Also, again. To those who think a coup attempt is unlikely. You see the pattern of escalation here, yes?

BREAKING: The Trump DOJ just sent letters to local election officials across California — every county in the state — demanding they identify potential noncitizens on their voter rolls and set aside their ballots. Local officials would "risk significant federal scrutiny" if they failed to comply.

A reminder also that this office has no U.S. Attorney, and the guy running the office — as first assistant — was ruled to have improperly served too long as the appointed U.S. Attorney.

NEW, NYT: More action from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Middle District of California that is not based in law and runs counter to DOJ policy. DOJ is threatening local elections officials in CA after DOJ did not get what they wanted from their BS lawsuit. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

The Justice Department's last-second letters about noncitizen voting contain people with no history of voting whatsoever, and they're moving so fast they sloppily sent one county the wrong list of names.

Why is Trump letting Russia slowly take over things in Alaska? Oh, right. Trump works for Putin.
