Much easier for the media to lock in on faux Cheesecake Factory outrage than a House Dem report indicating Todd Blanche basically told Ghislaine Maxwell "stop talking" when she was about to discuss a girl that could more closely tie Trump to Epstein

This is your sign to make a fucking push this week. Talk to your friends, your family, knock doors, coordinate rides to the polls. There's winning & then there's winning so big it essentially ends Trumpism

American institutions (and individuals) have more often than not punished Indigenous children and Black and Brown children— actual children— as adults, while excusing the behavior of white men. But hearing a white man calling his actions at 53 a "youthful indiscretion" really takes the cake.

What Kamala Harris proposes in not impeaching Trump is this the same reason why letting Jefferson Davis and the rest of the Confederate soldiers and leaders off the hook was a bad idea.. We've been paying for it ever since😡

I think we underestimate the appeal of antigambling politics because every problem gambler is surrounded by 3-10 people who are absolutely sick of their shit.

Georgia is one of the main states to watch for Republicans to redo their WI/NC playbook of using the lame duck session to entrench power after losing elections. New reporting on what they might do if they lose: www.ajc.com/politics/202...

This is a significant story about a highly credible victim who allegedly was raped by Donald Trump. Where is the legacy media? The expanding evidence of his raping not as interesting as Hillary’s emails? www.mediaite.com/media/news/f...

All 12 of the monthly images can be found posted in the MIWHT account. First person to guess which 12 it is gets a free calendar. (But it would be a lot easier to buy one.)

All that shit you hate? “A.i.” makes it worse.

So far, remarkably high turnout by young Black voters in Georgia. Eye-popping chart.

Early voting ends in just THREE DAYS. Wake up on November 4th knowing you did all you could do. That means getting out to vote, joining daily phone banks, and knocking doors. Let’s do this 💙🙏🏾 Volunteer: act.votejustinj.com Find where to vote: votejustinj.com/vote

I’m so excited! This book just dropped into my ereader!!

Also, when I say the mainstream media helped create a completely fictional character named "Donald Trump" who just a slightly edgier version of a traditional Republican this is the shit I'm talking about

AH

MIWHT: The Calendar had a bigger opening weekend than Digger (don't check that) but it will still be open for 10 more days and I still have to tell you about it.

voter guide* for my massholes in the chat

No, and this is upsetting. I like her work a lot. But there is no ethical use of this technology and in an industry where people are desperate for work, taking work away from animators is unjustifiable.

Genuinely I don't know that it comes across to people who haven't been here to watch how almost unbelievable this was, just people taking something that looked impossible and dragging it kicking and screaming all the way to inevitability.

What's striking to me are the rules of engagement and the methodology of action here, which more or less is predicated on burying liberal delusions about "debate" or the "marketplace of ideas". The rules were ultimately very simple: amplify your own message and suppress your opponent's.

At face, the lack of an ACIP board seems like a DC red tape thing, but this is a sneaky eugenics effort. When vaccines are not recommended by ACIP, they are not covered by insurance or available for free through Medicaid…meaning the most physically and financially vulnerable don’t have access.

Election Day is a week from tomorrow and early voting has started in much of the country. If you’ve been waiting to make a difference in the midterms, now is the time!

If your choices are two people with whom you disagree: Vote for the candidate whose mind you can change.

Yissss

After the first round elections, Congressman André Janones created a WhatsApp channel titled “Lula’s Army.” It ballooned to 10 million people following his commands on how to behave online to counteract Meta’s far-right-favouring algorithms. The right knows how to use socials. We must learn, too.

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's fucking go

And, most importantly, thanks to the vital mobilisation of young people. Students took to the streets the day after the first round elections, kickstarting massive movements that saw the largest public demonstrations in Brazil since the days of Diretas Já at the end of the military dictatorship.

between serbia, brazil, and hopefully november 3, a good reminder: voting works it’s not the end, there’s always work to be done after the vote, but if you want to beat the motherfuckers and keep them out of power: vote your asses off

The global pro-democracy, anti-fascist movement just notched two major wins today, after Students List in Serbia ousted strongman Aleksandar Vučić and Brazilian President Lula defeated the son of the man behind Brazil’s Jan 6 to win reelection! In 9 days, U.S. next!

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

I'm going to start this thread on the presidential count in Brazil—so people who are interesting can follow along. With 3% of vote counted, Lula up 51.3 to 48.7 (that's a lead of 103K). Pattern in 2022 & in R1 was Lula down big at 1st, then closing gap, but that's shaken up by today's 2-hour delay.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

I’ve been on X the past couple days, posting a few things about Rowling, which drew “interest” from her fans. A few quick observations:

DO NOT ANGER THE SPARROW I also make this face when I’m cold and wet #SpookyNature #SpookySeason 🌿 #birds
