Alex Pretti's father: Our son was shot and killed by the government, federal immigration agents, on January 24th, 2026. His hands were in the air, and his face was on the ground when he was executed by ICE agents. No one from the federal government called us on that day. No one has called us since.

OMG, the phrasing here is more than I can take! As if Trump is legitimately concerned with ending the war in Ukraine. The U.S. Called It Putin’s ‘Slush Fund.’ Now Trump May Drop Sanctions on It. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/u...

Israel does not do ceasefires Ever Independent journalism has been telling corporate journalism this for years and years and absolutely nothing we say can get them to listen or even simply look at the facts in front of their faces Never ever ever ever report that Israel has agreed to a ceasefire

In newspapers around the world, the report that Donald Trump raped Béatrice Keul in an Atlantic City hotel room commands huge headlines. In US corporate media, it isn't reported. Ask yourself why that might be. Here's the front page of today's Süddeutsche Zeitung in Munich.

Gratified to see widely respected journalist Margaret Sullivan endorse my view that major media must depict Trump’s abuse of power as a “five-alarm fire” – because it is.

Don't believe the polls. Run all the way through the tape. VOTE!

Trump’s 250-foot arch would cast a shadow on 50,000-75,000 graves at Arlington National Cemetery, according to studies conducted by VoteVets and the Washington Post. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

For several days I have been hearing rumors of an ICE detainee death that ICE was not reporting. I've just learned a local journalist has confirmed it and will publish soon. Now I read this and see there are actually TWO deaths ICE is not reporting. www.daylightsandiego.org/ice-detainee...

Language matters... these are pogroms and terrorists:

Julie K. Brown at the Miami Herald is still doing the heavy lifting on keeping the story alive. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

No matter how good things look, don't get complacent. Run through the wire.

Another story impossible to imagine in any other administration: the president's son goes hunting with a Russian criminal who is part of Putin's security entourage

just heartbreaking stuff Alex Pretti's mother calls out ICE and the Trump administration for killing her son and smearing his name, and calls for justice to be done.

Putin is destroying Russia, first and foremost.

Huge headlines around the world. In major US media, unreported. Something's fishy here.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

American capitalism killed American democracy. Fail to admit that and it doesn't matter what election results may bring because we won't be able to fix the real issues that are hurting us as a country. davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/america-is...

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

NYT just reported that, in fact, Netanyahu has pushed for more attacks on Iran ahead of the Israeli elections.

This is your reminder that there's no such thing as a perfect candidate and while complaining is totally valid, harm reduction is incredibly important and you should still vote! ❤️❤️❤️

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Roughly 1/4 of its workforce. $MSFT

Amid the brouhaha over allegations of limits on intelligence sharing and the proved throttling of Ukraine's Starshield, a 3rd way Trump is aiding Putin hasn't had much press - the blocking of supplies of paid-for Patriot interceptors. This delay is costing Ukrainian lives.

He already rehearsed his loss speech. It was last November, and he blamed Republicans. Expect the rerun within 48 hours of November 3rd. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

First off, he’s lying. Because he’s always lying. But more importantly this is all part of his assault on our democratic process, all part of his effort to sow distrust in our elections. He’s setting the table to once again refuse to accept the election result. He’s our enemy.👇

🔥KULINSKI: “Who’s more responsible for your life being hell: trans people, Muslims, immigrants or billionaires? You know... 2 years of an anti-immigrant regime, is your life better? As @jamestalarico says the minority destroying 🇺🇸 are billionaires.” (H/T @marco.foster)

We’re obviously focused on the humbling of Trump in this election, but don’t sleep on telling Elon Musk there’s something besides love his money can’t buy.

I would love to live in a world where "President faces new rape allegation" isn't treated like a dog bites man story in the major media.

Trump has only allowed the transfer of 24 patriot missiles to Ukraine over the last 3 months. That is only 2 interceptors a week. Rather than ending patriot deliveries, Trump is sending a tiny amount so people can't complain he stopped while 95% of Russia's missiles still get to hit their targets.

Green MSP Kate Nevens and SNP MP Lara Bird have been kidnapped by Israel for trying to enter Palestine. The Prime Minister should be demanding their immediate release.

Hungary Serbia Brazil Please let us be next

Another rejection of authoritarianism. Good!

Praise be!!!

Using the Presidency to manufacture himself billions in tax breaks through golf courses. Scam artist doesn’t even begin to describe this President. www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

Trump admin arrests Colorado priest. Incarcerates him for over a year. Judge orders him released without charges. They release him without the wheelchair he needs -- other prisoners have to bodily carry him out. He's now being tested for latent TB: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/colo...

In state election boards & county offices, GOP officials have been closing polling places and making it harder to vote. The bet is that enough people will get tired, give up, and stay home. But this month, a group of college students made it clear that their gamble will backfire. (link in comments)

What he means is it covers the "people who matter." As for the rest of us, we're screwed.

Bernie Sanders: "If you believe as I do that Donald Trump is the most dangerous president in the history of the United States, we need to get rid of that rubber stamp Republican leadership in the House and Senate."

Vladimir Putin is the one leader who has access to the most money with the least amount of monitoring, regulation, or tracking. Any time you hear someone ask why Trump praises Putin more than anyone else in the world, refer them to the paragraph above.

As a veteran, I'm furious he told those poisoned by Camp Lejeune's water they'd only get help IF REPUBLICANS WIN. This rotten son of a bitch sees veterans as tools to manipulate. I know, that’s not news. We’ve known this. But..that makes it no less disgusting or disturbing. VOTE.

Going through old notes today, I was reminded that the NY Times' Peter Baker wrote in January that Trump had "changed the definition of normal." It helps us understand NYT's shortcomings when we realize it accepts the idea that Trump gets to decide what's normal.

makes me want to see all of them!!

Dear People On Medicare, BEFORE YOU VOTE. It is Medicare Open Enrollment, go to medicare.gov & check your Part D RX plan for 2027 vs. 2026. Mine went up 3x the amount in a YEAR. That is because of Donald Trump & RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz REMEMBER that when you CAST your BALLOT!🗳️💙
