Who do I give to to get this in front of as many Michigan voters as possible?

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

The news from Brazil and Serbia are great and show that you don't defeat the far right by copying it or trying to appeal to their supporters You do it by being uncompromising, showing the danger they pose and offering something different to the many crises people suffer from

Not to put the cart before the election, this is hugely important follow-through after the midterms.

WE DID IT. I CANT FUCKING BELIEVED WE DEFEATED USA WE DEFEATED A COUP WE DEFEATED META WE DEFEATED EVERYONE WHO TRIED TO SILENCE BRAZILIA PEOPLE LULA WON GUYS. THE PEOPLE WON.

It really shouldn't require people to debunk this sort of absolute gutter racism but Somalis are strikingly hard-working people and this was noticeable basically as soon as they started arriving. They came legally, they're hard working, they learn English, they make their kids do their homework.

Mike Lawler is breaking under the pressure of a blue wave in blue NY-17. Symptoms include last-minute infusions of More Musk Money and uncontrollable rage posting. It's the perfect time to knock more doors this weekend!

If only there were a market for badass vampire hunters with cool swords.

I had to go on Twitter to confirm this was real because Ship Awesome Games In A Weekend having a hand with six fingers was so on the nose I was about to pass out

Boycott Elon Musk and everything he sells.

#Tennessee - they are changing the ballots from Democrat to Republican. Please make sure to check your ballot, not the touchscreen Check your ballot in every State before you cast it or leave. Republicans are going to cheat. youtube.com/shorts/Ja3Lk...

I feel obliged to once again reiterate that lay offs and closures are not a reaction to the economy, but a failure of leadership. Each wave of closures and layoffs should be looked upon as a consequence of greed and incompetence. If you can't keep your people employed, you are bad at your job.

It's October 21, 2026. Early voting for the midterms is off and running. Mail-in ballots are circulating in many states. And we're seeing reports of machine glitches and USPS errors. Good time to remind folks that mistakes do happen, but they are rarely intentional, and they usually have remedies.

We reviewed FBI documents that showed a sweeping pay-to-play investigation involving Sen. Susan Collins was in motion. Then Trump shut down the unit in charge. Had we found a road map to corruption in Congress? We decided to dig deeper.

Hi. I would very much like it if black gamers/devs (specifically those from Chicago) would get in touch for a story. You can get me here or on discord @adashtra

Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.

Scary

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40. By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.

We are all seeing how just a few months of outsourcing your thinking to AI can wreck your brain. The wealthiest people have outsourced everything to the people around them for YEARS.

300,000 tons is the equivalent of 93 million gallons of diesel. U.S. daily consumption? 160 million gallons. So 13-14 hours’ worth. Won’t really move the needle on prices in the market.

Ruin a book by adding a word: Breaking Wind in the Willows.

Wow! Texts are super rare for the Hittites, basically there’s just one archive and it’s 95% lists of prayer sacrifices to mountain gods, so this is really, really exciting!

An amazingly stark example of how the US economy has broken: Zaslav clears nearly a *billion* dollars amid a CEO tenure where he made basically anything he touched worse, harmed multiple prestigious brands, led huge layoffs—but delivered a corrupt merger for shareholders. variety.com/2026/tv/news...

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

True-Party Affiliation will be on the ballot this November. Truer: Republicans passed a discriminatory law to remove party affiliation for county races in only 5 Metro counties in 2028. Truest: We need to elect a Gov Bottoms and flip the GA State House and undo this mess!

This picture will always be iconic. RIP Margaret Hamilton who wrote the software that successfully guided NASA’s Apollo missions through the moon.

If you want your mail-in ballot counted it might be best to put it in a dropbox instead of a USPS mailbox.

YES on 40 NO on 41 NO on 42 for all CA friends out there

If you never thought you'd ever hear a group of Anything Muppets from SESAME STREET sing the Blood, Sweat & Tears song "Spinning Wheel", well, never say never... (Oh, and keep an eye on the puff of smoke, knowing that it's coordinated between a performer & a separate cued smoke mechanism)

Can particles move faster than light? Have a look at the video to learn more about Cherenkov radiation – the discovery that received the 1958 physics prize. This was a key component in the experiments made by today's physics laureate Francis Halzen in his research on neutrinos.

ChatGPT is adding the signatures of real New Yorker cartoonists to its AI-generated images. So far, I've found the signatures of more than 15 contributors. "It’s slop, and unlike the other slop that I’ve encountered, this is slop that’s pretending to be me." www.niemanlab.org/2026/10/chat...
