Israel votes today with polls showing it neck-and-neck between Netanyahu’s Far Right bloc and the mainly Hard Right opposition bloc. All but one of the leading Jewish parties have ruled out working with the Arab blocs.

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

How racist and desperate do you have to be to look at this and say, “Got ‘em!”?
The White House put an AI video of Hillary, Chuck, Hakeem, Kamala, and Ilan jamming out to The Gap Band’s “Outstanding” like a Tiny Desk concert and described Democrats as “washed up,” but damn they never looked cooler. Total self-own.

The felon is going to dispute every election result that shows Republicans lost.
Trump: "Let's all get behind Michele Tafoya in MN. She's running a great race. Don't allow them to play with the Votes after the race is over. The Federal Govt will be watching closely. The only way she can lose is if they cheat. We can't allow that to happen, because I won MN three times ... "

Abolishing ICE won't mean much if the people doing things like this are just allowed to mosey on to some other police job afterward
Kavanaugh stops in action: ICE tackled a non-verbal kid near his school, left him with injuries requiring surgery, and then left the scene when they realized he wasn't the person they were looking for www.independent.com/2026/10/23/i...

For the last month, I've been posting examples of Trump's authoritarianism that I call "Dictator Move of the Day." If you search that phrase, you'll see that the fascist president is constantly trying to undermine our democracy. I'm going to keep doing these posts. We've got to stop him.

This is fascinating. People have are having problems but big tech has no customer support--so they turn to ChatGPT, who sends them to human journalists for help.
In the last few weeks i've been bombarded with emails from people who have minor tech support problems. ChatGPT is telling them to email me, writing their emails, and compiling "evidence packets" after convincing them they have stumbled on a major story: www.404media.co/chatgpt-keep...

It's really damning. The accusations are numerous and well-supported. But I was really struck by the descriptions of Trump's behavior -- the name dropping, strong-arming, and attempts to buy off silence. His gross rivalry with Epstein. It's all so familiar. It's shit he's been doing his entire life.
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...

🚨 A bombshell new House Judiciary Democrats report details allegations from 11 women linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, including five who accuse Trump of sexual assault. The report also alleges a sweeping DOJ cover-up. We broke down the explosive findings.

All facts
Obama lives rent free in Trump’s head. Always has. Always will. Besides this being the ‘gayest midterms’ ever (according to Jesse), Trump saying ‘I don’t give a damn. We’re making a fortune’ when stock trading more in 1 day than Pelosi did in 12 years, is what voters are hearing from the President.

This shit is so pitiful because you know Bessent would never normally enter a chain restaurant
You really need to work hard to be the most obsequious member of Trump’s cabinet — by, for instance, eating lunch at Cheesecake Factory and alerting Fox Business, so they can interview you in defense of Obama’s joke about the White House decor. Well done Secretary Bessent! Your move, Doug Burgum!

Whatever other merits the line did or didn't have, it was artisan crafted to land directly on this idiot's wavelength. Straight into his brain like elephant foot alpha particles
Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

Republicans are worried NC-11 - a Trump+10 district - is already lost. If that’s replicated elsewhere it’s going to be carnage.
Expect the NFL and other sports leagues to follow suit. Ain't a dollar Roger Goodell's ever left on the table
The NBA has reached deals with Kalshi and Polymarket to make them the league's preferred prediction markets partners. The companies can now use NBA IP on their platforms, while the NBA gets right of approval on markets that they offer. That and more: www.nytimes.com/athletic/772...

Oh, are there 'allegations' that Kalshi is a 'gambling platform'? How could that be?? Sure, users are 'enabled' to 'wager' on 'outcomes', but that's hardly relevant!
Don't whine about how you have to choose between paying your winter heating bill and feeding your children KALSHI has a TRUST CUSHION now

i got into this whole industry thinking (wrongly) that the mainstream press just had to systematically be corrected and nudged in the right direction after decades of right-wing bullying. no. the right has a noise machine. the way to combat that noise machine is to out-shout it. period.

hm. lula succeeded by out-shouting the right and not begging for the press to do the lift for him and his supporters? wow, wonder who has been saying something like that in america for almost 20 years?
And credit to him, it worked. A sort of digital levee en masse, literally raising an army to counteract the forces that artificially amplify far-right messaging. He did that through organizing and messaging, both on the streets and online, that was so relentless that he put himself in the hospital.
God this guy sucks. He can't even DARVO effectively when softballed on his home turf #smh

Pro-Lula Brazilians doing en masse digital organizing against the platforms is interesting. Basically took website/influencer growth hacking techniques—eg everyone go like/comment/share this, get the algorithm to pick it up—and applied them to electoral politics at a grand scale. Thread:
I don't know that there is a template or a "secret sauce" or a clear-cut lesson to take from this. But if there is one it's the idea of treating social media as the hostile territory that it is, of actually acting like you are a participant in propaganda warfare and not like a consumer.

I'm basically saying if I were him (don't have a political temperament, Black American, etc), I'd tell Putin to pound sand until he stopped targeting civilians. Which we know he'll never do - so I'd drone them back to the electrical crank engine age 🤷🏿♂️
Can't make this deal. Would mean russia has to admit they are doing it on purpose, they won't, so its a no go.

hunts. So will the many others being investigated. But if you think the Democrats can change inflation, reduce fuel costs or relieve prices and the cost of living, you will have to wait until January 2029. Only a Democratic Congress with a Democratic President can make that happen, and put right
