Hey Chris, are you aware that the president is a rapist and a non compos mentis fascist? Maybe write about that.

New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility. w/ @grahamrayman.bsky.social & Joe Anuta www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

I long for an American politician with this same commitment to moral governance.

This new electoral vídeo from Pedro Sánchez is quite something. Standing in front of Guernica defending the anti-war stance of his government, limiting military expenditure, denouncing the atrocity of Gaza. English subtitles.

*when a dem is in power* The tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants *when a republican is in power* criticizing the government is treason actually

That the judge has a great NY accent makes this so enjoyable.

Jerome Dewald appeared before NY Supreme Court in an employment dispute Dewald claimed throat cancer from 25 years ago prevented him from addressing the court directly He has a startup, called Pro Se Pro, which claims it can generate AI-lawyers for use in court It didn't go well

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.

The newspaper went out and asked Brewers fans how many beers you should drink during the game and the non-joke answers are… revealing

America politics in the 21st century can be summed up thusly: Who ever screams the loudest wins. You may hate that, I do, but it's where we are. And frankly it's where this nation has always been.

this is me again saying dems need to stop campaigning on policy and go full vibe/meme based because that's how you get this cohort and there's a lot of them

Martin Luther King was much more successful than Malcolm X for example. Before that, there was no need for a bloody civil war in most countries that abolished slavery. Just votes. Independence can also be bloodless. Gandhi in India, Walesa in Poland, Mandela in South Africa. The list is long.

Since we're just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks someone should launch an investigation into Bari's possible connections to Identity Europa. And why hasn't she denounced Jake Lang? Very suspicious!

CM Lin is too collegial to say it so the rest of us have to. There are six people brazenly and cynically lying about the budget for political gain. They have names. Bob Kettle Rob Saka Maritza Rivera Joy Hollingsworth Debora Juarez Dan Strauss Kettle, Saka, and Rivera are especially dishonest.

Councilmember Eddie Lin@cmeddielin.seattle.gov

Finally, I think it’s incredibly important that we provide accurate information to the public about the budget. And the fact is that the proposed budget (which again is just a proposal) does not defund SPD.

Two anti-LGBT initiatives are on the ballot, the state is settling lawsuits by allowing foster parents to discriminate against queer kids, and Seattle's NPR affiliate is inviting the board chair of an organization aiming to ban gay marriage onto their Friday chat show. Things are going great.

This is domestic terrorism, full stop. All ICE agents are terrorists.

Six days after ICE shot him in the Bronx, Oscar Belgal remains in MDC Brooklyn, and still hasn’t gotten surgery to remove the bullet in his neck. “He has experienced a loss of sensation in half of his face, as well as hearing loss in his left ear.” Gift link: www.nydailynews.com/2026/10/14/l...

The timing of this raid and reports that a White House official was involved raise serious questions that should concern all Americans, regardless of political party.

Lazlo Toth reposted

The administration's goal, openly stated, is to consolidate police power in the country and create a huge, well-funded, extremely aggrieved, pro-MAGA, anti-immigrant, anti-protestor police force the likes of which we have never seen in this country.

There is no difference between the Nazi regime of the late '30's and the Trump regime. None.

Andy Craig@andycraig.bsky.social

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

Lazlo Toth reposted

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!

Adam Serwer@adamserwer.bsky.social

I do not think an exec branch led by a man who thinks he is entitled to treat federal agents as an arm of his firm, refers to Somali Americans as “garbage” and has said racist things specifically about Omar is capable of neutrally applying the law to her, to put it mildly apnews.com/article/ilha...

if Elon is spending millions of dollars of his own money to push this message with paid media, what do you think he does to the black box algorithm on his platform that chooses which posts you see and which of your posts are shown to others?

Elon Musk’s PAC is running anti-lgbtq+ midterm ads on X. Not surprising but incredibly unsubtle

ICE is a completely unsalvageable organization. To the extent that we need a police agency to enforce immigration laws, it should be reconstituted from scratch under the Department of Justice. Everyone employed at ICE needs to be summarily fired on Day 1 on a new Democratic administration.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.

Engage the base, persuade the middle and alienate the opposition should be the only advice political consultants give. Particularly the last point. In politics if you're not on the attack you're losing.

Anat Shenker-Osorio@anatosaurus.bsky.social

Engage the base. Persuade the middle. Alienate the opposition, better yet, expose precisely how sick and evil they are.

Lazlo Toth reposted

Defund and abolish ICE. Melt down their weapons and shift its budget to social services and affordable housing. Ban everyone who led or worked for ICE from any government job. Corporate death penalty for the companies that aided them. Citizenship to all of its victims, should they want it.

democrats, from obama to biden and most senate democrats, hold on to this notion that the only way to defeat the gop is for them to Finally Be Morally Outraged and Tell Their Party To Stop we've spent at least four decades with this bullshit running the democratic party. people are tired of it.

A brutal and important thread.

I am in Cap Haitien interviewing people deported from the United States. I have been doing this kind of work for almost a decade and it literally does not get more dire than this. People have lost everything they built in the U.S. and are terrified and have no place to go or way to live.
