Keeps happening! @wyden.senate.gov can you send a nice little letter to our friends over at The Facebook?

UPDATE: Trump’s DOJ is fighting to send armed agents back to the homes of naturalized citizens to ask about their voter eligibility. This comes after a lower court blocked the armed visits in 9 states.

But where’s the Board of Peace? It cost $1 billion a seat, as far as I remember.

If you've seen the ugliest vehicle ever made, that was Elon. Those videos showing obscene data center pollution? Also Elon. If you've seen starving African kids being turned away from shuttered aid distribution centers, that was Elon. A car burning on the side of the road? You guessed it

Queen of the daaaarkness

Don't let the nice weather fool you, winter is coming! Gotta make sure the kids have what they need. That's the doctor and the dad in me speaking!

Movement, how do YOU think the dinosaurs went extinct?

Brazil cancelled his passport, so

Okay, apparently I was wrong. Alaska isn't picking up what DOJ is putting down in the "Alaskans too stupid to understand RCV" case. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Elon Musk just gave Greg Abbott $5 million. Sounds like the Elon emails Abbott has been hiding must be more damning than we even knew.

The CA vote purge case just keeps getting weirder. Yesterday the DOJ filed supplemental declarations, including from a Shasta Co official named Clinton Curtis, who turns out to be a wackodoo who claimed he could tell fake ballots by smell. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

IF you are a Democrat you should talk about how you will send Falvio right the hell back to Brazil.

Lot of folks (self included) expressing despair that despite aggressive prosecuting fascists ("doing everything right") Brazil was still going to get Bolsonaro-ed and the fact this guy gtfo-ed as quickly as he did should be a big signal for the AOC DOJ to go *hard* in 2029.

Already some reports that he allegedly crossed into Argentina by foot, possibly to fly from there to the US. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

UPDATE: one week from Friday you'll be able to rent "MUSK" and watch it in the comfort of your own home!

If Americans need our little southern recipe for how to defeat fascism it goes like this: - Put people in the streets by standing for popular demands (wages, healthcare, public services) - Do not engage with fascists online - Do not succumb to doomsayers or media-driven narratives - Be happy

In case facts still matter

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Lord I see what Brazil and Serbia have and I want it for myself

There is an international, well-connected network of fascists promoting far-right candidates in elections (and coups) across the world. The guy who owns the site Yglesias posted this on is one of their leaders. Be careful of people advocating for their opponents to disarm!

Prices go up every time some “tinpot dictator decides to throw a tantrum” is not how I’d have thought JD would summarize high gas prices

Always double-check your ballot!

Abdul El Sayed: Codify Roe. Pass a law that codifies Roe. We should have done it along time ago. This shouldn't be up for debate anymore.

Restrict the advertising. Require lengthy spoken disclaimers (“most gamblers will lose money, some will lose everything”, etc). If this isn’t enough, require gamblers to place bets in physical locations.

Who do I give to to get this in front of as many Michigan voters as possible?

I'm barely two minutes in, and dogshit has never smelled so bad

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.

Is it normal for an anonymous Wyoming LLC that sent mass mailers impersonating a transgender advocacy group to hire the lawyer who defended TX Attorney General Ken Paxton from impeachment in response to a court filing seeking to depose people who could unmask the LLC's owners

shut the fuck up meatball man

Just very normal news about a presidential candidate these days. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/w...

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

Lula Goes HARD

And the lesson is that, despite his flaws, he had a committed focus on improving the lives of ordinary working people in tangible ways, he was uncompromising in opposition to fascists, and when he lost the first round he used it to motivate his supporters to throw everything at the second round.

And again, it's worth noting that this happened despite Lula being an incredibly flawed candidate. His son and some of his key political allies are embroiled in genuine corruption scandals. He's 80 years old. Crime is incredibly high. But he's won despite those flaws. There's a lesson in that.

The Bolsonarists didn't change their minds, they didn't suddenly stop believing that their man could do no wrong and that Lula was an existential threat to Brazil. They were simply outvoted by those who refused to risk a return to fascism, and decided not to sit this election out.

Bolsonaro had corrupt media on his side, Meta interference on his side, US propaganda operations, and his party's officials actively sabotaging public transport in Lula strongholds to prevent turnout. Yet he was still beaten by the power of voter turnout.

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.

Lula won in part by banning online gambling

The Bloomberg reporting all but says Musk is lying: bsky.app/profile/jeno...

huh, maybe unconstrained drug-fueled egomania isn't actually good for the economy... hard to say tho, let's see how this plays out
