Former Prosecutors and Human Rights Leaders Launch The Rule of Law Project ruleoflawproject.org/news/project...

Really good and obviously extremely infuriating story here.

At 47% of the vote counted, Lula is now leading.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

Separately, it's reported São Paulo is operating just 60% of its required bus fleet during Brazil's presidential runoff, despite a court order mandating full weekday service. Cuts are hitting lower-income neighbourhoods hardest, disrupting voters from reaching polling stations.

Zelenskyy: The most important thing today is that Starlink and Starshield operations have been restored to the speeds we had before the restrictions.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of Mary Peltola's campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Elias Law Group has filed to fight DOJ's lawsuit to rig the Alaska Senate election. We will win this case, Mary will win this election, she will be certified and seated.

The Starlink-Ukraine Scandal, Phase 2

Pretty sure this won’t go anywhere. But today’s example of the importance of breaking the power of the corrupt Republican majority on the Supreme Court

Sure looks like the interior secretary is turning Yellowstone into his own Ballroom-like bribery scheme: wessiler.substack.com/p/whats-behi...

In any other admin, this would probably be the most outrageous official statement ever made by a sitting FCC director: Strongly implying that the government forbids broadcast networks from reporting on the president's falling poll numbers. (Sorry to paste from twitter but that's where he posts.)

In case facts still matter — we have abandoned Ukraine in favor of Putin Russia was never a hoax

Slava Ukraini!

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

If he can do this with his satellites... he can do it with his Tesla cars ... or his Optimus robots. Remember that.

Sounds important, no?

Trump launches an early morning tirade against federal Judge Reyes, calling her a “crazed lunatic” and says she may be “insane.” This comes after Reyes demanded answers from Trump’s DOJ over its contradictory claims re his D.C. golf course project. Trump now declares work will begin “IMMEDIATELY.”

Donald J. Trump is literally the Deep State, and all the world’s richest billionaire paying him bribes are literally The Elites. That’s it. No other cabal is deeper or more elite… It’s them. 😎✨

Step by step, day by day, Americans experience the big platforms becoming Orwellian political censors. The US needs a federal government that will tax them and break them up; the democratic world needs to learn the lesson and protect itself.

Damn. This sums it up.

BREAKING: "No Kings" coalition spokesperson tells MS NOW Meta pulled down its Instagram page. MS NOW is out to Meta for comment and has not yet heard back. @ahylton26.bsky.social reports.

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...

Are we Russia now? Did we become Russia and I just missed it?

We must crush Elon Musk and the oligarchs. It's either us or them. They are playing for all the marbles.

My piece for the Voyages issue of NYTM, in which much idyllicness ensues www.nytimes.com/2026/10/08/m...

The latest news on Trump's attempts to turn the US into a sponsor of russian terrorism. They're not even trying to hide it anymore.

More of this

Trump’s stupid trade war with Canada is destroying American businesses & livelihoods. Today, @balint.house.gov & I heard directly from small business owners in Vermont & Massachusetts, alongside Canadian Consul General Bernadette Jordan & Olivia Dion from the Quebec Government Office.

Trump has cut off intelligence to Ukraine so that Putin can more easily bomb civilians including children.

This is what the barbarians do when they destroy the Capitol.

“Disgusting ecoterrorists is what I call all them. Next time it happens I say everybody should be on rooftops & wear masks & be protected & take ’em out.” That’s what a bar patron in ND said when I asked his feelings about the Standing Rock protests 10 years later 1/ drilled.media/news/the-pro...

Dunning-Kruger Barbie

Several leaders of India’s “cockroach” youth movement are detained in New Delhi after entering a historic protest site in defiance of a police order, calling for the resignation of India’s election chief over the removal of 130 million people from the country’s voter lists.

is there anyone thinking/writing about the actual mechanics of disentangling the US government from elon musk?

Starting tomorrow on Indigenous Peoples’ Day federal contractors are scheduled to begin removing thousands of saguaros and other desert plants from Tohono O’odham land in Arizona for Trump’s border wall, according to tribal officials.
