Trump's attacks on immigrants continues to threaten NYers. On Thursday, two dozen unmarked ICE vehicles prowled the streets around East Elmhurst and Elmhurst. We DEMAND ICE out of our streets! #ICEOUTOFNY https://qns.com/2026/10/ice-agents-elmhurst-hospital/

NBC: The price of diesel fuel has gone up much quicker than many school districts were prepared to handle. In Yakima, Washington, the increase is equivalent to the cost of two full-time teachers, forcing tough decisions directly impacting kids.

California Election Case Gets Even Wackier: Ahead of today’s important hearing in front of Judge David O. Carter in Los Angeles, the Trump DOJ filed new declarations overnight. Two things jump out, and they’re both doozies: talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

Nearly twice as many New Yorkers cast their ballots on the first two days of early voting as compared with four years ago. New York understands the assignment.

Fixed it for you: Trump policies caused an unnecessary rise in inflation, now republicans may pay the price in the midterms. (Also lets note that the raping, racism, sexism, homophobia, fear mongering, war mongering, isolationism, pro Russian policies weren't a problem for Republicans at all)🇨🇦

Failed to stop inflation? That’s letting Trump off the hook. Trump CAUSED price increases. His stupid war is why fuel prices are sky-high. Everything else costs more because of that.

Holy Whoa!

This will be nyc when it happens.

We won not only against Bolsonaro, but against the full force of the USian's Big Techs, Meta, CIA, Trump, the Brazilian right-wing elites, the billionaires' press and more.

This looks like a typical arrest… except… he might not get his day in court, and can be sent to a foreign country, and potentially his death without ever seeing his baby again. Why? Because we elected a wicked, racist, bigoted, ignorant, evil , entitled man and his “administration”. 💔

They are clapping for this…  WTAF?!?

I’d like to see all the reporters who repeatedly asked AES about Hasan Piker comments to follow Mike Rogers around this week getting his reponse to all of the bullsh*t from this rally…

Starlink / Starshield speeds have finally been restored fully for Ukraine. Elon Musk was the person who restricted them and he has been lying about everything related to this crisis the last two weeks.

“Lula supporters are starting to gather…at the heart of São Paulo, in anticipation of a Lula victory. The mood is upbeat but tense, amid suspicions that there has been a deliberate pro-Bolsonaro campaign to sabotage public transport systems to stop Lula voters reaching polling stations...” 10/25/26

In what world is this a matter for the police? Also, this kid is like the Pele of 3-year-olds. Just fantastic.

Free citizens can rise up and defeat pro-Russia (Putin-backed and Trump-backed) political factions. Ukrainians defeated the Party of Regions. Hungarians defeated Fidesz. Albertans in Canada defeated the separatists. Serbians defeated SNS. Americans can defeat the Russia-backed Republican Party.

“If Bernie's Social Security Bill was enacted in 2021, Musk would have paid $2.9 billion more in taxes, Social Security would’ve been solvent for 75 years, benefits would have increased by $2,400 & 93% of Americans would have paid Zero more in taxes. The only one ‘entitled’ is Musk.” @ GunnelsWarren

The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

If this report is accurate, White House lawyers are discussing pardons in advance for junior staff who worked on deportation, war, or trade policy. That would tell staff the government expects some of what it asks them to do could be unlawful. Courts and Congress could still examine what happened.

just saw this absolutely cracked ad during the michigan game about how thanks to aoc and ilhan omar, white people can't show their faces in public anymore

It’s the second-most used material on Earth. It’s an environmental disaster. And it’s falling apart all around us. Meet concrete.

Kids are such excellent barometers 💞👇🏼👍🏼💞

Medicare for all. NOW.

A Russian energy giant secretly financed a US gas project in Alaska, while that same project was being discussed by Putin with Witkoff and Kushner as part of talks supposedly aimed at ending Russia’s war in Ukraine. The US company’s CEO resigned after discovering the Russian money.

Is this story really why F47 filed his lawsuit subverting fair election in Alaska?

The church has a lot to answer for!

“The Trump administration did not ask companies to present an exhaustive case for why they deserved a waiver from these new requirements. It was as easy as sending an email to the E.P.A. and invoking the obscure exemption language in the act, a provision that no president had ever used.”

The Republican Party is giving us cancer. The New York Times doesn't say it that directly, but its investigation proves it.

Trump saying Starlink has been restored in Ukraine is a lie. It should not be reported as news. Starlink (properly, Starshield) continuing to be speed limited is reality. That's the news. The United States is still helping the russians attack Ukrainians.

Great thread.

At least 59 people have died in ICE custody since the start of Trump’s second term, the highest number in more than a decade. Many deaths have been linked to medical neglect, including four of five recent deaths at California’s Adelanto Processing Center.

Zohran Mamdani is not on the ballot in November. But, he’s still picking winners—and picking fights. The latest episode of "Stress Test:"

💙For the second time in my life, I just voted for a Democrat ticket.💙 I voted for Trump twice, in 2016 and 2020. But by 2024 I came to my senses when I saw what the Christian extremists were doing to America. I follow Jesus but I want nothing to do a party that excuses Trump's vile immorality. /1🧵

And the fuckery begins…

We live in crazy ass times…👇🏼
