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.

Let us find the balance: Alarmed and vigilant but not panicked; determined, not despairing; insisting on analyzing the situation as it actually is - instead of bowing to the assertion that reality does not apply to these dangerous clowns.

The Right’s Fascistic Fever Dreams Are a Sign of Weakness MAGA wants us to believe that Trump can simply declare “martial law” and wipe away the system - but it’s just not true. A threat assessment before the midterms. Some thoughts from my new piece: 🧵

HEADS UP this is what we can expect November 4. Be louder than they are.

Nobody's shocked that Jason Miller is the one posting Bolsonaro's refusal to concede. Trumpworld isn't just watching Brazil, they're coordinating. Same playbook, same people, different country. The authoritarian network is global, and it's poison.

If there was any doubt about putin's agenda to resurrect the soviet union.....

‼️ Russia: “A bill to rename Volgograd to Stalingrad and St. Petersburg to Leningrad has been introduced in the State Duma.” 🍿 Go for it. Good luck paying to change all the signs and documents and everything else that would go with doing this 👍 ru.themoscowtimes.com/2026/10/19/v...

If you don’t think your basic rights should depend upon whether Sam Alito can imagine a single drunk in the 1700s wanting to take them away, you should get on board with Supreme Court expansion ASAP.

Corey Lewandowski had no official role at DHS. But he personally signed government contracts anyway. Then he lied about it under oath. This is the culture Trump has created: Get close to power. Use it. Cash in.

This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.

Get off!

Federal officials recently started threatening to seek criminal charges against two county sheriffs in Minneapolis and Chicago — cities that have experienced some of the most intense immigration enforcement of the Trump era — who have declined to give ICE access to inmates subject to deportation.

I send my condolences and my love to all friends , family and community in Berlin. No one act of hate can dim the light of our pride, our love and care for each other & the world. We will continue to shine our gifts for all.

Trump just said, out loud, that he calls and orders federal prosecutors to investigate elections when he does not like how the vote is going. He bragged about it twice this week. He says he called a U.S. attorney in California, said "do me a favor," and look into a race his candidate might lose.

RFK Jr., Trump’s vaccine-skeptic health chief, fired all 17 CDC vaccine advisers. The result is here: 2,288 measles cases in 2025, the most since 1992, plus a deadly whooping cough surge killing infants. Kids pay for anti-vax politics. #VaccinesWork

The average life expectancy of a new Russian recruit—from arrival at a training ground to death in a combat zone—lies somewhere between 10 days and three weeks. Once sent onto the battlefield, they survive an average of 20 to 35 minutes. @peterfrankopan.bsky.social foreignpolicy.com/2026/06/25/r...
