One week until Election Day. America deserves better than the pedophile protection party.
Knock doors. Make calls. Get your friends to vote.
Let’s elect Democrats up and down the ballot and finally make Trump release the Epstein files.
Good summary by @evanurquhart.bsky.social:
"While the screed goes on and on, there’s nothing more there, no subtle nuance, no legitimate concerns. There’s only hate, a few weak protestations that it isn’t hate, and even more seething, naked hate."
There's no pretense left. J. K. Rowling made her hate for trans women clear in a slur-filled screed slurring them a dozen times and describing them as deceitful and dangerous.
So writes @evanurquhart.bsky.social this morning on Assigned Media.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today.
Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.
🖖TRIBUTE – #StarTrek’s Walter Koenig 💖
Walter Koenig, the beloved actor best known as Star Trek’s Pavel Chekov, died at his home in North Hollywood at age 90.

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.

There are people, even some trans people, who think that we can give up sports to appease bigots.
That if we give up on sports, this all goes away.
That is a lie.
I have reported on this for years, and EVERY state that passed a sports ban as a moderate compromise has gone on to pass worse.
Trump’s goal is to intimidate me and get me to back down.
That’s not going to happen.
I will not be silenced, and I will not stop fighting for my constituents.
🧵 Elon Musk has donated a staggering $369M to influence the 2026 elections, making him the largest individual political donor in modern US history.
And yet, he continues to invoke George Soros as a shadowy force secretly manipulating elections and the world as we know it.
Let’s take a closer look.
What good is our Constitution if it can't protect our children and seniors? Story after story of the harm being caused and nothing being done. Whether it's guns, scams, healthcare or schooling, we can somehow never take care of anything in the richest nation on Earth.
The question in this headline is everything wrong with this country.

I'm deeply upset about the fascist attacks on my Congresswoman. I have had the pleasure of working closely with Ilhan and her team over the years, and she has been a fantastic representative for Minneapolis and for Minnesotans. I want to tell a story from the surge to demonstrate.

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in.
The joy on their faces says it all.
🚨 72 retired senior military officers speak out
"We ask the President, our Congressional representatives, and our fellow citizens to act to prevent this barbaric abuse of authority: Livestreaming an execution debases the... commitment to basic human dignity..."

Elon Musk is now using his control of SpaceX, a US government contractors, to wage his own private foreign policy which is directly at odds with US government policy and instead supports a mortal adversary. This, in a word, is treason.
spent a little time thinking about what will happen with the live-streamed footage of a firing squad execution on this internet we have and I don’t think a society comes back from it
This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.
It's like Ossoff and El-Sayed are in a competition to see which one can most brutally disembowel their GOP rival.
