🚨BREAKING: We have moved for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction enjoining Trump from continuing to unconstitutionally impose themselves upon election administration procedures that the Constitution and federal law assign to the States.

This resurfaces and again, highly credible and under-reported by the big political press: people.com/former-miss-...

That’s also why Vivek isn’t exactly lying when he says he didn’t mean to say Acton lied about being raped as a child. He doesn’t think she lied; he thinks that being raped disqualifies her from office, because she belongs to the class of people power is wielded against, not the class that wields it.

Is it normal for an anonymous Wyoming LLC that sent mass mailers impersonating a transgender advocacy group to hire the lawyer who defended TX Attorney General Ken Paxton from impeachment in response to a court filing seeking to depose people who could unmask the LLC's owners

Mohammed had a work visa. They still sent him to fucking Guantanamo

If only there were a Nobel Prize for heckling

Ah yes, "Europe" www.wired.com/story/they-f...

Everyone is dunking on Jennifer Welch for saying that Joe Biden paved the way to fascism, but I would like to dunk on her for pontificating about the Jan 6 Capitol attack and how one must be "crystal clear about what happened", while having done no homework and having understood nothing.

It's really damning. The accusations are numerous and well-supported. But I was really struck by the descriptions of Trump's behavior -- the name dropping, strong-arming, and attempts to buy off silence. His gross rivalry with Epstein. It's all so familiar. It's shit he's been doing his entire life.

The AirBnB people whining about the incredibly postmature rules changes are hilarious. Hey, here's an idea, if you don't want to pay someone to clean up after guests don't run a fucking lodging business!

❗️Ukrainian sources say Kyiv has received no update from Pete Hegseth or the Pentagon on approvals for Patriot and NASAMS missiles, with no movement reported. Zelensky said Ukraine has been waiting nearly a month for Hegseth’s sign-off and instructed his team to raise the issue again. #Ukraine

Jesse Ventura to Piker: "Here's what pisses me off -- I did 2 tours, 17 months. So did my brother. Southeast Asia. That was at the same time Donald Trump was running and hiding like the coward he is. Why didn't he join us in the Vietnam War? I've heard him talk. He said he should be a general!"

The Grand Old Rape Party

You don’t get to be an archbishop by being naive and simple. They went to get goodies. They went to get school vouchers. They went to change abortion law. The Trump administration used them right back. They got caught, and now they pretend they weren’t political. #TaxTheChurches

injured in a Russian attack on a park in Nova Vodolaha, has died in a Kyiv hospital🕯💔 ​Artem’s 8-year-old sister, Arina, was killed instantly at the scene. Doctors fought for her brother's life for a week.

ICE is moving deeper into the Bay Area. Community defense starts now—stay sharp, protect each other, and fight back.

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.

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

The mobilization itself was already not something I ever expected to see, but to actually win? Hell, to double the winning margin from the 2022 runoff? Genuinely surreal. Maybe child raping billionaires *don't* have to run the world with a shit-eating grin. Maybe that can stop.

Just installed my 26-year-old copy of Word on a new desktop. I will never pay subscription fees for software I already paid for. I will go live in a shack in the woods first.

Genuinely: We crossed that line a while ago. It can still be recrossed, but only with a lot of sustained and deliberate effort

Trump and Co. will try to steal the midterms. They're already trying. Gerrymandering, bad faith lawsuits, voter intimidation, and a whole lot of lies. But they don't have a genius secret plan. They're already doing whatever they can think of. And it's beatable. Shouldn't have to, but here we are.

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

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...

Let’s do this in America.

It’s a decision to spend fewer dollars on SNAP while funding random elective wars and ICE and ads for Trump

Hungary - ✅ Serbia - ✅ Brazil - ✅ Machado back in Venezuela - ✅ PLEASE - Israel on Tuesday PLEASE - US midterms Nov 3 Boot all the corrupt, war-mongering, Trump-fawning, right-wingers out.

Like father like son

“Nobody invokes the Insurrection Act over people walking down the street with signs. It doesn't happen.” 🙄 Trump and his allies are *openly* floating using the Insurrection Act to seize voting machines or ballots in order to upend an election they expect to lose.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

it literally does?

Check out how easy this is.

Periodic reminder that the media loudly demanded DETAILED POLICY PLANS (TM) from Kamala Harris while gramps over here is just riffing on asses from behind the seal of the President of the United States. Just a daily embarrassment but this is gold for the media 🙄

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

Nobody should have this much power

Been reading about a lot of very bad but entirely ordinary people throughout history for the next season of Past Lives (Everyday Villains). This guy is utterly typical. 1) Doesn't think he's doing anything wrong. 2) Permission structure in a system of hierarchical authority. 3) Benefits materially.

The California Understander has logged on

In the Kherson region, a russian drone dropped explosives on a man walking his dog. The dog was killed instantly. The man’s fate is still unknown. russian troops filmed it and shared the footage online. Deliberately targeting civilians is a war crime, and russia is committing it openly.

Nothing to see here, folks.

Pro-ICE conservative blogger Samuel Sey, a prominent figure on the evangelical right, has himself been arrested and held for potential ICE deportation.
