A woman was thrown to the ground and arrested after protesting data centers at a Utah County meeting Tuesday night. https://www.sltrib.com/news/2026/10/21/woman-was-arrested-while/ 

Elon Musk’s PAC launched a voter website that doesn’t actually register voters. It’s running ads distorting Democrats’ positions and knocking on doors in Michigan. Rep. Rashida Tlaib told Raw Story Musk should be arrested over it...

This ad is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Q: There's a report that FEMA is telling states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. Any reaction? OSSOFF: So the Trump administration is telling folks across the country to prepare to fend for themselves while taxpayer dollars are sent to back Don Jr & Eric's mining interest in Kazakhstan?

Republican Neil Bush says he was ‘deeply troubled’ by Ken Paxton’s conduct and ‘enormously impressed’ with Talarico

Great @jamellebouie.net piece. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/21/o...

Truth in advertising

Men need pilates, non-sexual hugs, long walks in the woods and a chill pill. Let's give them personalized porn, retail gambling and mail-order testosterone instead.

New Mexico's attorney general filed a lawsuit Wednesday against Jeffrey Epstein's attorney and accountant, accusing them of concealing his sex trafficking operation at a sprawling Santa Fe-area ranch where the disgraced financier entertained guests. https://to.pbs.org/4z4Vkxl

TRUMP CHEAT HAS BEGUN.. youtube.com/shorts/FM7r0...

🗳️ Stella Parton (Dolly’s Sister) is among the Tennesseans reporting voting machines tried to flip her @jerrigreen4tn.bsky.social vote to Marsha Blackburn🤔😕 www.instagram.com/p/DewwVI9ERq...

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

Who’s gonna tell him…?

There is no justification for the execution of a one-year-old baby in a Walmart parking lot. The idea that the state of Mississippi could declare that Kohen Wiley’s murder was ‘justified’ is an affront to all of us.

Three-byline alert: 🚨 “.. Last week, Musk capped the speeds at which Ukrainian hardware could stay connected to the satellite-based network .. .. One of the people also claimed Musk and Trump discussed the matter prior to the decision ..” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/world/ukrain...

I've mentioned before I've updated my contracts to make sure everything in the production of my books is done by humans and not "AI"; if you're wondering what such a thing looks like, here's a clause covering that from a recent contract.

cc @donmoyn.bsky.social I had this idea for a public concert in DC that’s a battle of jam bands accompanied by federal hold music. A citizen trying to call the IRS or Soc Sec gets on a stage and starts the call, their hold music is piped over the speakers and a timer starts for the improvising bands

I am surprised the partial outage at IRS.gov has not gotten any coverage. I have not been able to set up an installment plan for two days now, site says my return isn't processed and I'm technically late in filing. Been on hold for an hour...

The last two years of this administration are going to be a blood bath and the only thing to debate is how much of it will be literal and how much will be figurative. Sigh.

Kinda wild that there have been wild protests going on in Albania for months set off by a corrupt Kushner luxury resort project and there has been barely coverage of it here 🇺🇸 and Trump never gets asked about it.

Sex-shaming pervades the story of Jane Doe and the “Cornell Seven.” That sort of thinking feeds into rape culture, Anahid Nersessian writes. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/eUK6kR

This is a serious article. Unrelated, if I find out that a platform has tagged me as “has flat buttocks” let’s just you say you won’t have to worry about rebuilding the consumer financial protection bureau. Talk about insult to injury…

As proof of his genius, he offers a story in which he realized that if they added 1 to 1775 it would give them the number 1776. No, I'm being completely serious. And his mouthbreathing crowd applauds that basic math like the man split the atom.

Yup. The entire 16 months I’ve been on the ICE flight/TCR beat, I’ve encouraged other journos to join me, bc there are more stories here than I could possibly tell on my own. Many indy journos have. But for MSM reporters, too often they seem content to just repeat what’s already been reported.

The irony is that a lot of true civility is stuff the right has written off as woke. Showing basic respect for other people by not using racial or gendered slurs, not disparaging women with sexual innuendo, etc. But to them, civility means: bow to white men and shut up when we treat you like shit.

Do yourself a favor. Read these 7 pages by @lilymasonphd.bsky.social right now. It is the most concise explanation of the current situation in U.S. politics I've seen and it captures why calls to reduce "polarization" can ultimately worsen the problem 🧵 www.journalofdemocracy.org/articles/pol...

“The uncomfortable truth is that Europe must accept greater risk in the short term to avoid far more serious dangers in the future,” says Radek Sikorski, Poland’s foreign minister, in a guest essay. “Our objective cannot be merely to avoid escalation”

Why are we so worried—dare I say over-sensitive—as a society to the risk of one kind of error but not another? Why are we so up in arms about over-sensitivity but not under-sensitivity, despite the obvious statistical point that they both involve errors? katemanne.substack.com/p/what-sexua...

SHOUT-OUT to Political Cartoonist extraordinaire & Member of the Order of Canada Michael de Adder, who routinely does a far better job of holding this administration accountable than the corporate media. Thank you for your attention to his brilliant satirical wit! 🙏 (also: 🤣)

Well done, folks!

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo that we need to talk about if we're going to talk about the national debt.

Uncle Larry has already called me crying.

I may get around to writing about this pattern
