The 4 Horsemen of America's Apocalypse: Putin, Trump, Musk and RFK Jr.

These nations have long histories of dictators. They know that democracy is precious. Too bad America hasn't figured that out yet. #generalstrike

Serbia’s longtime leader Aleksander Vučić has been swept out of power by a historic student-led opposition movement against Vučić’s right-wing Serbian Progressive Party.

International leaders and politicians congratulate the Brazilian president on his re-election win.

The Trump-supported, fascist fuckery is real here in Brazil — but it’s not over till it’s over! #BoraLula

In a little-noticed webpage update, the Environmental Protection Agency has announced a plan to decommission its online web archive at the end of the year, a move that would wipe tens of thousands of publicly available environmental resources from the web.

I said that this was a Russian trope at the time in testimony to Congress and am glad to see this excellent documentation of Russia’s use of Vance’s vocal chords.

Writer @naomiaklein.bsky.social says the rapid rise of artificial intelligence is part of a much longer project of privatization. "After 50 years of outsourcing and hollowing out of public functions of the state, the very last stage is the outsourcing of thinking, of intelligence itself."

Michigan Dem. Nominee for Senate Abdul El-Sayed: I endorsed Kamala Harris because I knew, whether you saw this from the eyes of a child in Gaza or the eyes of a child in Detroit, that Trump would be worse.

This is what "media capture" looks like.

UN experts call on India to stop using ‘excessive force’ against protesters https://aje.news/crtww4

“As is so often the case, working families and communities of color bear the brunt of Trump’s economic policies."

the routine, pay for play pardons are all by themselves one of the worst corruption scandals in american history!

Max Boot: "Not for the first time, it seems the wily Putin has manipulated a credulous Trump," and Zelensky has the best explanation: Putin is autocratic and uber-wealthy, and Trump says "openly and loudly that he loves such people and he respects such people.” Gift link🎁 wapo.st/4scTeZj

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

Chrystia Freeland: "Your government is siding with Vladimir Putin, who is a bloodthirsty dictator and war criminal. This is not a time for us to be divided. And it's certainly not a time for America to be on the side of the bad guys, which I'm sorry to say, you are right now."

Love it! 👑 #nokings San Francisco

Larry Ellison has billions of dollars invested in Elon. He (reportedly) invited Musk to "dry out" on his Hawaiian compound. Now he's putting his hand on the scale to suppress critical coverage. Larry Ellison now owns CBS and CNN. We are not worried enough.

In competitive authoritarian countries, regime allies limit and control mainstream media visibility to opposition figures and media. We're not there yet, but this is what it looks like.

Total Black TV covered this in depth. 60 Members of Congress are now demanding a federal investigation. Victims like To'Nea Nicole Miller, 27, from Miami-Dade deserve answers. Watch the full report: youtu.be/8QS2uyzHz9Y totalblacktv.com

Russia strikes Kharkiv, Kramatorsk, Volyn and Rivne as Moscow presses its campaign against Ukraine's power grid.

It's already Saturday morning in Japan and people worldwide are saying No Kings!! 🚫 👑

I’ve been warning about this for months. They’re building a nightmarish universal surveillance regime to enforce a fascist theocracy. This is the end game.

Anthropic, a company that has warned of the potentially catastrophic consequences of artificial intelligence, has been named as the AI superpower behind a massive data centre project in Nova Scotia.

According to Reuters it was the Trump White House that ordered Ukraine's Starlink disabled, so Republicans were lying when they denied that. Trump and the GOP work for Russia. It's so embarrassing to be an American these days. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Disabled people need more support. Most ableds believe if you get “sick enough” help will magically appear. That if you get worse, more help will arrive. It doesn’t work like that. Unless you have family or deep pockets, you are on your own. Abuse is rampant. Suffering is inevitable.

Death row spiritual adviser Jeff Hood is inside America’s execution chambers for the final moments of inmates’ lives. Last year, he talked to our friends at @revealnews.org about how capital punishment in the US today illustrates American society’s increasing movement in a more violent direction.

What happens when disinformation becomes a political strategy? “84% of the most disinformed Canadians support the Conservative Party of Canada.”

I didn't mince my words. Alberta's anti-immigration referendum questions are racist. They are also a potential disaster for Alberta's economy. Last night, I rose in the Senate to denounce them - and to thank all the thousands of Albertans fighting against them. Please share. #notothenine #cdnpoli

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

Attempts to directly connect the Tumbler Ridge tragedy, and particularly the recent arrest of James Cody Bryant, to transness is a symptom of the larger anti-trans hate movement. @melwoods.me writes. thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

Flavio Bolsonaro beat polling expectations as Brazil’s right gained ground, setting up October 25 run-off with Lula.

Just another Sunday night in 2026, checking the diff between bubonic and pneumonic plague... thisvsthat.io/bubonic-plag...

Oh, look! The Trump administration is making crossing the US border more onerous for all the millions of Canadians who are no longer doing it. They are smart that way.

The US has interfered in the German election. They are interfering with elections in Latin America. Trump says Canada is going to be taught a "little lesson." When is the Canadian state going to take treason seriously?

ICE arrested the mom of a 9-year-old at a school bus stop in Austin, leaving him alone and crying. The video has profanity and is heartbreaking to watch, but it shows the fear/pain of what happened. This is evil. This is wrong. And it has to stop.
