if voting didn't matter they wouldn't be working so hard to stop you
The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

WOW! Another big win for Californians, @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom, @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov, and the rule of law! In Newsom v. Trump, the Court makes it official: Trump violated the Constitution and the law when he claimed there was a “rebellion” and took over California’s National Guard last year

Hegseth’s staff broke Eisenhower’s globe. The symbolism is too much to bear. (And of course, they ignored the TRAINED EXPERTS WHO HANDLE HISTORICAL ITEMS. Because EDUCATION? EXPERTISE? WHO NEEDS IT?….im going to get some coffee…)
"Ordinarily, moving historical items within the building is a deliberate process overseen by curators. Hegseth’s staff dispatched its own team to relocate an Eisenhower globe. They dropped it...The resulting gash appears to be several inches wide." wapo.st/3WF2YQo

Metaphor for our time 2: Whiskey Pete demands Eisenhower's globe but refuses to wait until the experts can help move it, so he damages the globe and has to give up the conceit. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

JUST POSTED: Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have pushed a multibillion oil deal with Russia as part of peace talks that will bring profits to their family business partners. A new front for Trump-era conflicts of interest. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/03/u...

"Situation Room connected the call. Biden jumped in. 'Bibi, man, what the fuck are you doing?' He gripped the phone tight. 'You think I’m Santa Claus? No Santa in Israel, pal.' when Netanyahu asked what he meant, Biden said he could cut off military aid to Israel with the snap of a finger"

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
From 16,000 to 185 to Zero: Trump’s Claims of Illegal Voting in Nevada Fizzle. "The state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen."

New in PN: Are voters finally realizing that GOP presidents are disasters? "The last 3 R presidents have handed their D successors an economic catastrophe, & the last 3 Ds have had to do their best to clean it up. Why don’t Ds ever say that? I think it would make a difference" — @mjtoma.bsky.social

If people want to be into obscure shit before it’s cool and sneer at the unrefined normies, they should scratch that itch by getting into obscure music, movies, fashion, and art because that elitist contempt for the uninitiated is absolutely poisonous to building effective political movements.

WE FOUND WHO DAMAGED THE REFLECTING POOL !! Some idiot drove a bunch of heavy duty cars across it. Will there be an arrest like there was before?
The Justice Department is admitting that a $14 million renovation on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC, was flawed, and is dropping the criminal case against a former Olympian that accused him of damaging the pool, according to a new court filing. https://cnn.it/3RJJnwj

Brooke Taylor, a Fox News “National Correspondent,” was oh so proud of her scoop a few days ago. Appears to have been all bullshit. She hasn’t updated her feed.
After ICE shot and killed Lorenzo Araujo, the FBI leaked to Fox News a claim that he was found with possible meth in the van. His family said it was a total falsehood; it was a bag of salt to be used to make an electrolyte drink. And they were right. It was not drugs.

Whoa whoa whoa … Do you mean to tell me that striking a deal with Donald J. Trump does *not* buy you everlasting peace?? Surely no one could have foreseen this! Certainly not lawyers who get paid millions to make deals for a living!
