@NPR has yet to write a story about it. If you were curious why I cancelled my monthly membership, that's a big part of the reason. Not one word about Bernadette Greene-Placienta. Not one word about the Dem Justice Committee Epstein report. Silence in the face of the party of Rapists.

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.

Reminder that we asked all the Monroe County candidates about their stance on mobility and compiled it into a blog post so you can make an informed choice before voting! reconnectrochester.org/2026/10/gene...

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.

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.

Sharing this poem again because I think the world needs these words now more than ever.

Far too much of this going on in the neighbourhood chats at election time

I personally am happy to live by the standards of federal contractors with respect to conflicts of interest, lobbying & drug use. I suspect only one of us would "die" by them.

But El-Sayed is rude.

Not quite there yet... Next year on Broadway?

This is a beautifully concise and heartfelt guide for Christians to leave transphobia behind. I wrestle with this myself and am still learning, but as a starting point in moving from "male and female He created them" to a more nuanced and loving view of scripture this is brilliant.

Jim Rohn has a great bit about being a happy taxpayer. Good (or even neutral/decent) Govt is the goose that lays the golden egg.

Conservatives get very upset when you answer their question directly, force them to own the subtext of the question, and expose the bad-faith politics underneath all of it. You cannot separate this from the context of the President calling AES a “jihadist” and “Mohammad” at his rallies. You can’t.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Was wondering about the mid-november/January target for the Musk movie but realizing I'm (and voters) are not the target audience of the movie. Its Schumer & Jeffries.

Full update from our team. We STILL do not have admin access to the account.

I know America. I know that, in America, we believe in a country big enough for all of us. So, JD Vance, don't you dare come from Ohio to lecture me. You don't know a damn thing about America.

I have been trying and failing to find the absolute legend that hooked me up with this on the return journey from Etobicoke yesterday. He said he was on bluesky it was... Ben something, first name only. Traffic was loud. #BikeTO

Bonjour ☀️ bon dimanche ☕🚲

New drivers ed requirements: 1. Close pass simulator so you know how terrifying it is. 2. During the class a car horn goes off randomly to let you know what it sounds like from the outside.

It's Don't Argue Inside Your Head With Other People Friday. Today, if you find yourself arguing inside your head with someone who's not present, or who it isn't safe or fair for you to argue with, gently move your mind away. Do this as many times as you need.

NPR still doesn't even have a story posted about Bernadette Greene-Placentia, and every headline (other than original Phoenix story) is " she says/reports/alleges" when she was literally bruised and bleeding. By God we need a MeToo that burns the way this press treats victims to the ground...

Sarah is a dear friend and has been working with RRRN (Roc rapid response network) for a while now. Trustworthy way to help get a neighbor home and provide for family. ❤️ Give if you can, they are almost there. gofund.me/135a4fe66
