This episode of SWAJ pinged my radar after reading @ashdashlee.bsky.social 's What To Do During A Coup (below). I sure hope the team of folks working on ensuring electeds are seated is well-prepared.
Some expect an economic move, like a tax change or an energy price announcement. But there’s a good chance the answer was already out in the open. Max from UNFTR and Matthew D. Taylor join me to discuss what’s been hiding in plain sight.

This is a strong argument that Senate Democrats might have the votes to remove Trump (and Hegseth) in the Senate – if Senate Democrats adopt a rule allowing a secret ballot for removal votes, which is perfectly permissible under the Constitution. www.theunpopulist.net/p/a-democrat...

After hundreds protested Google’s northeast Minnesota data center Monday night, preventing any government action, Hermantown city leaders rescheduled it for Tuesday night.
Tuesday they canceled it again.
Tim Mooney has helped put 62 measures on ballots. 55 won.

In 1992, Colorado passed Amendment 2 and earned the nickname “the hate state.”

"Eduardo Bolsonaro was sentenced in June to four years in prison for lobbying the Trump administration.
Bolsonaro... who lives in Texas... was sentenced for lobbying to impose sanctions against members of the Brazilian government and implement higher tariffs..."

The third, Eduardo Bolsonaro, is currently in United States which refuses to extradite him to Brazil to start his prison sentence.
Here's a recent @reuters.com propaganda piece promoting Eduardo:

"Journalists often use the words 'unsubstantiated' or 'uncorroberated' when referring to the allegations victims have levied against powerful men, like Trump. Instead of saying these women’s accounts are not corroborated, maybe it’s time we say they were not investigated in spite of clear patterns."
Did you know that pumpkins were brought over from the Americas in the 16th century?
But before they became the Halloween stars we know and love, people carved jack-o’-lanterns from turnips and other root veg! 🥕
this is something Dems can just hammer on for the next two years
televised hearings every week about Epstein, Epstein, Epstein
make the drumbeat so loud the media doesn’t have a choice in covering it
This right here was the most damning part of the report; Todd Blanche interviewed Ghislaine Maxwell to signal to her the following: (1) we know that there is material related to Jane; (2) we know that you have information related to Jane; and (3) we will move you to a minimum security prison.
Much easier for the media to lock in on faux Cheesecake Factory outrage than a House Dem report indicating Todd Blanche basically told Ghislaine Maxwell "stop talking" when she was about to discuss a girl that could more closely tie Trump to Epstein
A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women.

People Magazine is covering it while the Washington Post's top political story is "Trump defends White House redecorating — and Cheesecake Factory — from Obama’s mocking," and the Trump-Epstein story is nowhere to be found on its site. people.com/former-miss-...
“Billionaires who popularized stock-based lending include Larry Ellison and Elon Musk. Both borrow to avoid having to sell shares—which could trigger a taxes and dilute their voting rights—in companies they founded.”

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.
It is short and so I assume they are looking into things but it is... interesting... that the NYT piece on the new House Dems report on Trump ties to Epstein simply does not mention the brand new rape allegation and says whatever this is instead

Hey remember a couple months ago when I almost died from sleep apnea and begged y'all to be checked if you have symptoms of sleep apnea?
Eric Bauza just died from sleep apnea. We were the same age. Don't ignore sleep apnea.
Do you get a full night's sleep but wake up feeling like death? Does your whole body feel off in ways you can't explain?
Research signs of Sleep Apnea. Get a sleep test. You can't diagnose it yourself, cuz you sleepin'.
Canaries were used in coal mines MUCH more recently than you might think (1986!), but I have a really neat artifact to share with you & I hope it brightens your day.
Canaries were used as indicators for clear & odorless carbon monoxide (CO) gas that was a hazard to human health in deep coal mines.
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."

its insane how not many people are talking about how republicans with the help of several moderate democrats are building out the largest abusive medical conversion therapy operation in modern american history
This article does not discuss one major reason why chocolate in the West got worse - Ghana and Ivory Coast, the two African countries that are the biggest suppliers of cacao globally, got organised and started demanding fair prices for it.

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.
Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States.
"In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct."

It's only socialism when you tax the wealthy & use it to fund services for the poor & middle class.
Otherwise, it's just sparkling kleptocracy!

Yes, that's AFTER farm debts & expenses.
So much to say about Brazil, not least of which is the role that Erika Hilton, a Black trans leader and most voted woman politician in Brazil, played in mobilizing folks for Lula. She was behind the critical, concrete, economic promise of shorter work-week.
