🚨BREAKING: We have moved for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction enjoining Trump from continuing to unconstitutionally impose themselves upon election administration procedures that the Constitution and federal law assign to the States.

It feels real good, amazing, to do as much as I can to get away from Google.

Voting is critical for the next ten days before they decide how they are going to steal the last crumbs from our tables and our democracy. Google is gleefully helping them destroy everything for profit and monetizing your soul. You can push back here it feels good: substack.com/@flipsportin...

I’m a White person who doesn’t want to live in a nation made up of nothing but White people. I have no interest in seeing us become a gated community of inbred, entitled supremacy that cuts itself off from an expansive world it believes itself superior to. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/im-a-white...

Yet another entrenched authoritarian defeated yesterday in Serbia. As the United States approaches a critical midterm election, Serbia shows that we can win despite uphill authoritarian conditions. It can be done. It takes all of us, especially young people. Timothy Snyder

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

1/ Three weeks ago Lula trailed by 2.2 million votes. Yesterday he won Brazil's presidency, the first runoff comeback in its history. Part of why: 10 million everyday supporters on one WhatsApp channel, each handed a job to do. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

On MSNOW, I slammed corporate media for their outrageous double standard when it comes to Abdul El-Sayed where they demand he denounce every fabricated link to extremism. But they don't press his opponent Mike Rogers to denounce Trump for his Jan. 6 terrorist attack AND for pardoning J6 attackers

2/ What jumps out: more people voted in the runoff than in round one, nearly 3 million more, and fewer people left their ballots blank. This looks like a comeback built on turnout, not only on changing minds. The Atlas has the breakdown. atlasdevelopment.substack.com/p/brazils-fi...

atlasdevelopment.substack.comBrazil's first comebackAgainst all odds, Lula won the runoff by 3.6 points and will be president for a fourth time. How did Brazil's electoral map change from the first round and from 2022?

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

nytimes.comHow Trump Gave the Worst Polluters a Free Pass (Gift Article)The president temporarily waived clean-air rules for industrial facilities that spew cancer-causing gases. Then his appointees worked to gut the regulations altogether.

A stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, whose government cultivated close ties with Donald Trump and his family, has conceded defeat to a student-led opposition movement in a historic parliamentary election.

📊 A new poll reveals voters overwhelmingly reject Trump’s election-meddling tactics. Voters were given potential scenarios outlining how federal or state officials might respond to the 2026 election process. Overwhelming majorities disapproved of every tactic: https://demdock.com/4yIGP19

1/ UPDATE to yesterday's state tour: two more places where coverage is breaking down before the new rules even start. Indiana and Florida. Paperwork, mail and payment failures are cutting people off right now, not in January. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Reports coming in that, in the city of Salvador, a far-right politician - the actual mayor - has reduced the fleets of available buses so that Lula voters can't get to the polling stations.

Hearing report after report. Bolsonaro’s allies are doing everything they can to suppress the vote. It’s the engine of fascism in action.

In his talk at Princeton, @marcelias.bsky.social noted that the election suppression he worried about was less ICE at the polls and more ICE putting up traffic checkpoints and other things that made access to the polls much harder. And it looks like we’re seeing a version of that in Brazil.
