NEW YORK TIMES: “A commission of United Nations human rights experts said Monday Israel was committing genocidal acts against Palestinian civilians in Gaza despite a cease-fire agreement, and carrying out crimes against humanity in the West Bank.” www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/w...
Der @audiofficial.bsky.social Chef Gernot Döllner tritt im US-Wahlkampf der #Midterms2026 für Donald #Trump auf.
Ich weiß nicht, wann ein Firmenchef zuletzt so brutal seiner eigenen Marke geschadet hat.
Wer soll diesem Mann und dieser Firma noch ein Auto abkaufen?

This was always going to happen. My guess is that Trump will issue a blanket pardon for every political appointee. Signaling a move like this will embolden his underlings to disregard and break the law. And that's the point.
Scoop: White House lawyers are weighing preemptive mass pardons for junior staff, sources says
Under discussion: Pardoning everyone involved in deportation, war, or trade policy

There's something very big missing in the media coverage of the Trump-Putin story. I reveal what that is in the new issue of my OUR LAND newsletter:

Haaretz reports Hegseth went to Israel, met with Netanyahu, and now we’re gonna strike Iran again... (Right before elections in both countries)🤔
How long are Republicans going to run cover for this destructive, deadly nonsense that is costing us all so much? @MarshaBlackburn
This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes broke traffic laws while riding bikes, yet 66% of people did so while driving. And perhaps even more importantly, if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid.com
Since last Saturday, Meta executives have given vague & shifting answers for why the No Kings Instagram was taken down at the height of the protests.
Today, I'm calling on Meta to come clean.
Is Meta intentionally censoring speech? Americans deserve answers.
Unacceptable. Meta took down the No Kings Instagram today and kept it offline for well over an hour.
Censoring free speech to appease Donald Trump?
We the people deserve answers, but regardless, we will not be silenced.
All Republicans must be voted out of office now.
We cannot abide a moment more a fascist, pro-pedophilia, pro-Kremlin political party that appears to be *explicitly* focused on collapsing the American economy, betraying all our friends, and stealing hundreds of billions from us.
This is accountability journalism: follow the planes, follow the money, and find the people the government has sent away. Gillian Brockell is making a machinery of removal visible and sharing the methods so other reporters can investigate it.
I have some insane news getting copy-edited right now, but before that publishes I want to make sure y'all see this interview I did with @gijn.org, where I give a lot of tips on flight-tracking, developing a specialized beat, etc.

Why is @jamellebouie.net the only major media figure routinely pointing out that Elon Musk, who is spending a quarter of a billion dollars to prop up Republican candidates, is a white supremacist? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/17/o...
Tons more news articles all over about how dependent the Republican Party has become on Musk money, but nobody is exploring what that means. presswatchers.org/2026/07/the-...
Canada is a sovereign nation. You have no voice or power there. Your baseline personality is a Psychopath-Sociopath, Narcissist, Machiavellian, paranoid, sadist with significant advancing dementia. Take your word salad and your authoritarianism and go crawl in a hole.
Trump: "I do not want to lose as your representative $90 billion for the privilege of allowing Canada to have a healthcare system and other things that they shouldn't be having"
Update: about 4 hours later and we still don't have admin access so we still can't post to the No Kings instagram account.
This isn't slowing down the the 3,000+ early vote events today. We will drive the biggest early vote in history.
But this should be a flashing alarm about what's to come.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: No Kings organizer Ezra Levin SOUNDS ALARM after Meta suspended the movement’s Instagram during nationwide protests.
LEVIN: “We might be seeing something similar from Meta in our country right now.”
“We're not gonna stop organizing against this regime.”
“I was brutally attacked by 50 masked men… they just kept kicking me and kicking me…”

Today, another American citizen & journalist was brutalized by Israeli settlers attacking Palestinians in the West Bank.
This repeated violence & brazen impunity for attacks against Americans & Palestinians alike are unacceptable.

Solidarität mit Ron Dekel und den mutigen Studierenden, die sich der AfD in den Weg gestellt haben. Die inakzeptablen Morddrohungen zeigen, wie ernst die Bedrohung ist und wie ernst wir alle sie nehmen müssen.
"Herr Dekel, welche Reaktionen haben Sie auf Ihre Aktion vor der Synagoge bekommen?"
"Zunächst extrem positive. Das änderte sich aber mit der Pressemitteilung, die der Landtag von Sachsen-Anhalt verschickte. Seitdem prasselt auch viel Hass auf uns ein. Ich habe Morddrohungen erhalten."

Trump's continued attacks on @repilhan.bsky.social the Somali American community, & our Muslim neighbors are a heinous attempt to distract from his complete & utter failure as president. Every American should be chilled to the bone: these are the actions of a dictatorship not a democracy.
If Americans view, clip, share, and permanently enshrine an American public killing in a million ways on the internet, we will move towards fascist rituals of violence.

As Trump himself said, this entire campaign is about protecting Netanyahu.
Words of condemnation aren't enough, ICC members must take action to defend the rule of law. Remember, ICC prosecutors have the authority to open criminal investigations against ANYONE who obstructs justice.

I used to wonder, "How could someone as seemingly reasonable as Cheryl Hines be married to that obnoxious, stupid kook, RFK, Jr.?"
Well, now I have my answer:
NASA picture of the day today is a real 🏴beauty! This is a composite image of the ~5000yo Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis. The amazing Giuseppe Petricca has only gone and photographed the Sun at noon there, every few days, for a whole year. #Dedication 🔭🧪👌

As an American political historian, I can confirm that this Congress has been "almost unmatched in history" in several categories -- sad abdication of its war powers, craven surrender of the power of the purse, weird refusal to conduct meaningful oversight, and an utter failure to pass actual laws.
This is how an authoritarian regime attempts to silence the free press.
Trump is step by step trying to strangle the Bill of Rights and tear up our Constitution. If anyone still doubts it, wake up!
