brb calling the ICE tip line

Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social

WASHINGTON (AP) — State Department says it will give US visas to defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro and his family.

Panthers with the edge in Winnipeg today based on xG differentials. Florida also with much better special teams than then Jets, but carrying a negative G/xG spread coming in.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

i mean, the US by way of Argentina is a tried and true route for fleeing Nazis

HELL Kennedy@helenkennedy.com

There are multiple unconfirmed reports that Bolsonaro fils has fled Brazil and may be in Argentina on his way to the US. The facts remain unknown but it figures that Trump's America would be a refuge for election losers facing money laundering charges. colombiaone.com/2026/10/27/f...

Trump and Republicans are restarting their voter fraud misinformation machine ahead of the midterms. When I checked, Republican candidates were implicated in voter fraud at up to 38,000x the public’s rate. If they were actually worried about voter fraud, they’d start with their own candidates.

checks out

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.

NHL points forecasts over the last two weeks. in the Metropolitan, you're either over 100 points or you're out of the playoffs.

as i'm sure you're all aware, i'm a big fan of goal differential as a proxy for true standings rank, so here's where we're at so far. you should expect teams under the line to move up the standings as the season goes on, and those above the line to fall back.

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

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...

Kings at MSG today and the model is taking the Rangers. the respective xG differentials basically wipe out the home ice edge for NYR, but tie goes to the home team. in the other underlying stats, Rangers with better special teams and xG spread.

Listen, it was probably inevitable Quinn Hughes was going to leave but it’s still an utter failure that the organization wasn’t something that was incredibly hard to say no to. The San Antonio Spurs spent all their energy on making themselves essential to Tim Duncan. Hard to say Canucks did same.

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

Caleb Malhotra (#Canucks) had the best game of his young freshman season in Boston University's 6-3 win over Vermont last night, leaving with a pair of helpers I had some time to kill, so I clipped some of his best moments -- enjoy!

you know, if progressive Canadian politicians are too stupid to put in proportional representation because they're too power hungry to put up with minority government, or ranked voting because they think it's too complicated for voters, they should at least bring in run-offs to force majority votes.

gotta think a good chunk of the 300,000 NDP voters that decided it was too rainy to vote yesterday are rethinking their life choices today.

and you know, i gotta say, being the party that coulda had advance notice that a snap election was about to be called, it is unforgivable that they didn't get their ground game fully geared up and prepped for get out the vote efforts. just shoddy in every way possible.

Times have been tough in this Ohio town ever since the woke mob closed the old Cheesecake Factory. So when Vivek Ramaswamy promised to legalize child rape, they finally had something to cheer about again. But then Obama said something elitist.

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.

look, nothing is simple and i have no parsimonious explanation for anything here, but a student protest movement, focused on corruption & authoritarianism, just won a major european election. a big deal.

Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

i am not prepared for an America that actually comes around just as this stupid province saw what was going on down there and thought hmm i wanna try some of that

Saw this in Carbon County, Utah. A place known for coal mining and one of the most Republican places in the country. I don't know if I've seen anything more indicative of the cultural vibe shift.

NHL points forecasts over the last two weeks. most teams have stabilized into a range, but Wild and Devils continue to climb.

here's the points forecasts so far for every team compared to the pre-season projection (dashed line + std deviation in shaded area). Bruins have broken containment.

Habs with the edge in Winnipeg today. Montreal with a better xG differential driving the better probability. rest of the underlying stats are pretty even for both teams, but model doesn't see those.
