Runner ducklings or walking duck. Wellington & Boot out for exercise

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

@johnlegend.bsky.social: "When Vivek Ramaswamy hears of an indicted child abuser who fled the state rather than face charges instead of siding with the victim. He takes the side of the abuser…Do we want a man with this sort of depraved moral compass to lead our state?"

Interesting approach by Mike Rogers to make his loyalty to Elon Musk & the oligarchy an explicit part of his campaign earlier this year. “When you stand with my Senate campaign today, you are directly shielding Elon Musk,” Rogers wrote. www.metrotimes.com/news/mike-ro...

BREAKING: The 9th Circuit rules 2-1 to dismiss DOJ's effort to force California to remove 20,000 purported noncitizens from the voter rolls based on data CA officials view as faulty. Majority: Bennett (Trump) Sanchez (Biden) Minority: Bumatay (Trump) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

Empathy + Action = A Better World

Trump's family has made billions off the presidency while working families can't afford groceries. And Republicans in Congress? They've done nothing to stop it. Not one thing. Voters will not forget that at the ballot box.

Surely the state bar of NY has some pending action against Blanche’s law license.

Every time people go out and vote against fascists, authoritarians, oligarchs and tyrants, I see hope for humankind

It's insane that the campaign against El-Sayed is basically that he has some secret relationship with the people that the president's family has a secret relationship with.

Serbia to Trump: Drop Dead.

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.

The Brazil Lula news is really the first piece of good news I can remember in what feels like a very long time.

For two years, student-led protests have raged against Aleksandar Vučić and his corrupt government in Serbia. Today, in parliamentary elections, he was toppled. One of the most sustained protest movements in recent European history has succeeded. Resistance works.

HAPPENING NOW: 9th Circuit Oral Arguments on DOJ's lawsuit against California voters. DOJ is arguing that there is massive amounts of non-citizens voting, and the harm is irreparable because once the ballot is separated from its envelope, you can't trace it to the voter. 1/

Anthony Davis: “Who exactly are this 31% of Americans who think this lazy tyrant, this dollar-store dictator, this narcoleptic nincompoop is doing a good job?”

When the United States HAD a Department of Justice. It doesn't exist anymore. It's now part of the Mar-A-Lago Mafia. This is not hyperbole. It's reality. Reminding Americans what the DOJ is for without reminding them the DOJ was destroyed is doing 25% of the job right now.

the most moderate, apolitical and non-controversial opinion in Elon Musk is that everything he sells is too good to be true, and will either fall apart and be expensive to fix, or will be clawed back and resold to you for more money

Our nation is in grave danger. But across America I’m seeing stirrings of a giant backlash. People rising up and hitting the streets. People getting out the vote. Our fight — for democracy, the rule of law, social and economic justice, and decency — is gaining ground. I believe we will win.

We are making the oil oligarchs rich. We are making Trump and his cronies rich. It is literally at our expense every day. There’s no trickling down happening. And Trump is bragging about it knowing nobody in the Republican Party will stand up to him and say enough.

They’re not alleging fraud or misconduct. They’re preemptively suing to block certification based on an outcome they haven’t accepted yet. It’s no longer a hypothetical talking point. The Justice Department is officially Trump’s election interference machine.

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Everyone knows the system vulnerabilities. Rs are ok with exploiting them, and corporate Ds felt they could weather the consequences over being seen as "blue MAGA." We should have demanded audits comparing paper ballots to machine tabulated counts/reporrted counts. We didn't and I fear we won't.

Allowing one unelected man to have control over crucial aspects of the US military, allied militaries, the US space program, and so many other aspects of human life is absolutely insane. We were stupid to allow this to happen and it must be fixed ASAP.

Trump’s legacy may be an America no one can trust. We chose him twice. Why should allies bet their security, or lives on us, never doing it again? He’ll leave. The distrust will stay. Congress owes us hearings and accountability. Generations could pay for one man’s ego.

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

El-Sayed: "We had a little debate. Or I had a debate and he just pointed at me and said, 'He's Muslim.'"

Wild that the Trump family is very clearly in the pocket of multiple(!) foreign dictators and apparently nobody even cares. This used to be the stuff of taut thrillers, now it's just oh there's Jared doing bribe stuff again

Major American banks have reported unauthorized artificial intelligence bots inside consumer accounts, sources told Axios Thursday. trib.al/mmFWL8c

Trump, when asked about the transfers: "I don't really know Jared, I've heard he is a person in my family who is doing a great job but I don't know much about it."

New reporting shows that state-funded charter schools have paid more than $30 million to private companies tied to Byron Donalds' family. I'm calling on him to divest. www.tampabay.com/news/florida...
