From apps that block distractions to stripped-down phones, young people are finding ways to unplug from platforms they say profit from their attention. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

A great day for Democracy around the world. Thousands are celebrating in the streets of São Paulo as progressive incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva wins re-election, defeating the far-right, Trump-backed Flávio Bolsonaro. Also Brazil sending a big fuck you to META for election interference!

A WWII-era globe – one that once belonged to President Dwight Eisenhower – was damaged after an attempted relocation to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's office. These stupid clowns can't do anything right. www.npr.org/2026/10/22/n...

Meta suspending No Kings during the height of protests is just the tip of the iceberg.

NEW: A bird flu outbreak has been raging uncontrolled on a Utah mink farm for two months. Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic. But officials haven’t acted — instead prioritizing the financial interests of the fur trade.

Birdwatching can help slow brain ageing and is increasingly being used as therapy for dementia patients. The more you know 💫 www.bbc.com/future/artic...

I stand w/ the leader of the free world, which is Volodymyr Zelensky.

There's Revolution in the air tonight! From Albania to Argentina, Brazil to India, France to South Africa, young people across continents are refusing to stay silent. Different struggles. Different demands. But one thing connects them all: they have the courage to question those in power.

If corporate America wasn't on board with Trump's agenda, none of this would be happening. Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, etc. are all enablers. Think twice about where you spend your money. www.cnbc.com/amp/2026/10/...

After 137 days of largely peaceful protests with little progress, frustration in #Albania has erupted into violent demonstrations. Students joined the fight clashing with police. Protesters are demanding better opportunities, an end to corruption. Clearly they fucked with the wrong Generation.

Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI. Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay. AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.

Going into the midterms with this energy 💙

Among the titles on Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick’s book-banning target list are books explicitly written about censorship and the fight to keep books accessible. Why doesn't he want people to know about banned books? Via @everylibrary.bsky.social action.everylibrary.org/banningbanne...

My take from the Smith hearings: To be a GOP senator today, you have to be a lying piece-of-shit, who puts loyalty to party & our lying piece-of-shit president, above their oaths to the Constitution & their obligations to tell the truth & do what rights to the American people! Repost if U agree

I’m so proud of my colleagues for producing another fabulous film. THE WORK IN PROGRESS celebrates civic discovery, public deliberation, and coming together to ask hard questions and listen carefully to what each other says. I hope you'll see the film soon. theworkinprogressfilm.com/buy-tickets

Think hard on this when you vote on Tuesday 3 November.

By now most of you have read about the Cornell 7. Hard to grasp how the school and the authorities allowed them to get away with this. Writing essays? How insulting. I'm glad they been exposed. They need to be behind bars! If you have a daughter, heading in college, I pray this never happens. Hugs.

In March, Washington State passed a tax on millionaires to fund public education, childcare, and expand its earned income tax credit. Now, special interest groups backed by the rich are trying to trick voters into repealing the tax by claiming it will apply to non-millionaires. Don't fall for it.

Already tense relations between the U.S. and Canada are likely to deteriorate further, as the U.S. goes ahead with a decision to ban nearly $1 billion worth of Canadian imports, including alcoholic beverages, dairy products and motorcycles.

Collins' scandal may just be the tip of the iceberg. If she's doing it, probably other Senators and Representatives are, too. Let's root them all out, regardless of party! #TrumpsCorruptCongress www.bangordailynews.com/2026/09/24/p...

We should make a push for mass cancellation of Disney+, Hulu, Netflix, Peacock, Paramount, HBO Max, Amazon Prime and Apple. They have all increased their prices as people are struggling to pay rent, groceries and gas. Guarantee you they'll respond to a massive boycott. All they care about is $$$

Thinking about how a girl at Christian summer camp asked me if my dad was in Al Qaeda and I got in trouble for asking if her dad was a Klansman bc “her question was understandable”

A new kind of No Kings event is planned for October 17th, but it won’t look like the marches we’ve seen from them before. @ezralevin.bsky.social explains: www.contrariannews.org/p/a-new-kind...

SB 277 just passed the House Environmental Affairs Committee and is enroute to the House floor. Put people before polluters and take action on SB 277! https://secure.everyaction.com/MJnjBygOTU-OXgLrCrWLeA2

14/ However, experts say the FAA’s shifting approach telegraphs a disquieting truth about air safety as private companies increasingly push to use the skies as their laboratories: Regulators are learning as they go. Read our full story:

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Where the hell are America’s leaders? Too many people with formal authority are intimidated by Trump or sucking up to him. That leaves you and me and everyone else without official power to resist his tyranny. robertreich.substack.com/p/where-the-...

Yeesh I hate being repetitive, and yet... It's time once again to remind my fellow Americans that there is no mechanism whereby state run elections can be suspended or canceled by the federal government. None. So don't go along with any garbage you hear to that effect. Laugh, and get ready to vote.

I stand with Sen. Mark Kelly. To all active and retired US Military members: Defy illegal orders. Defy Unconstitutional orders. When you swore an oath, you were not reciting a poem – you were making a commitment.
