Otis’s Mom

A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

691 words about Cheesecake. 434 words about rape.

One of the most important financial stories out there if you want to know how and why the same five evil guys wind up owning everything.

In comments at a private police conference, Flock CEO Garrett Langley said backlash to the company wasn't "real" and the work of "bots." Also he said his wife advised him to never apologize. Read now: www.404media.co/in-leaked-au...

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:

(Jeopardy-host voice) "Former Vice President Dick Cheney and rapper Jay Z have this in common."

gonna need the Dream to win Game 6, both because [Zaza Pachulia voice] GAME 7 BABYYYY and the Finals cannot end on a Thursday afternoon

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.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

Republicans, they're not like us.

Who do I give to to get this in front of as many Michigan voters as possible?

this might rank as one of the most important outcomes of the night if it happens. would give dems the ability to begin to make north carolina a democracy

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

People saying Trump has no health care plan are wrong. This is it 👇🏽

This is why Trump just said at his rally that he doesn’t care about high gas prices because people who own stakes in the oil and gas industry are getting rich.

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.

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Hello darkness my old friend

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”

Apparently, some Houston voters are putting their I Voted stickers on the Lorenzo Salgado Araujo memorial. Stephen Miller is ALREADY trying to scapegoat others for losing whatever races they lose in Texas and elsewhere. This is a vivid testament that for some voters, his murder squad is the reason.

Doge didn’t save money or make government more efficient It invaded your privacy and gave the data to Musk

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...

I thought he was going to drain the swamp?

"Mahoning County Court records we obtained show that Cledith Arthur was arrested & charged with sexually abusing Acton, then 12 years old" Local news like News5 in Cleveland is doing a helluva job revealing the facts behind this vile Ramaswamy campaign ad. www.news5cleveland.com/news/politic...

never let his supporters pretend they didnt support him

This would be the most any person has donated in any election cycle. And #2 is also Musk, in 2024.

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

Allowing one unelected man to have control over crucial aspects of the US military, allied militaries, the US space program, and so many other aspects of human life is absolutely insane. We were stupid to allow this to happen and it must be fixed ASAP.

Meet Justice Anita Earls, who is running for reelection to the North Carolina Supreme Court. "That's the reason why I'm on the court – an understanding that our state constitution is a very important source of protecting our rights." - @anitaearls.bsky.social

It's Elon or global democracy. Choose one.

Elon Musk fully believes that the entire US Government is fully under his control. And he may be right.

Tax the churches.

Forbes has been tracking Trump's wealth since the early 80s. They described Trump's first year back in office as "the most lucrative year of [Trump's] life." And it's not even close. Trump is earning hundreds of millions more than he ever has.

JD Vance: "Now the media and the Democrats in the state of Ohio are obsessed because Vivek Ramaswamy had the audacity to run a TV commercial which calls it out like it is and call Amy Acton a liar"

In our poll of battleground state voters, 60% said it should be congress' TOP or HIGH priority to investigate Musk and hold him accountable. The people pulling the strings are the voters, dude.

To be clear, Trump hates it when poor people use the government to get access to food and medicine. He loves it when rich people sell pardons for $50M

WOW -- Vance *defends* Vivek's reprehensible ad 👇 Q: Ramaswamy's campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent's mother. Some Republicans are backing away. Do you think it was appropriate? JD VANCE: Well, I'll be honest. Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not really my concern.

WATCH: “Trump’s favorite pastime is taking credit for something Biden did.” @debunktionjunction.bsky.social shows Trump is taking credit for a manufacturing surge that happened under Biden… that again went DOWN under Trump. In case facts still matter.

North Carolina’s Democratic governor warns that the absentee ballot rejection rate is twice as high as in 2022 thanks to last-minute changes by Republicans. He recommends voting in person if you can (early voting is even better!) wcti12.com/news/local/g...

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.
