A patriot speaks out on behalf of all of us.

At least 18 early voting centers in rural Alaska have not opened as of Friday, state Sen. Bill Wielechowski says. The commonality? All the affected areas have at least a 60% Alaska Native population — with nearly a dozen having Alaska Native populations upwards of 90%: https://demdock.com/4yTW5Ze

this man is a gotdamned patriot

Kavanaugh stops in action: ICE tackled a non-verbal kid near his school, left him with injuries requiring surgery, and then left the scene when they realized he wasn't the person they were looking for www.independent.com/2026/10/23/i...

Voter participation by noon today in Israel was already at its highest level since 1973. This election is on track to have the highest voter participation in Israel's history. Not a great sign for Netanyahu. People don't typically vote at record levels when they're happy with how things are going.

This is just perfection Wow ..

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

Big Brother is watching, but now we can watch Big Brother right back. I love that MapQuest is flipping the script. Apple Maps, where you at?!

Astonishing: Maxwell was willing to tell Blanche about some of Trump's rapes, and he ordered her not to. "Let's not talk about inviduals." WTF were they there to talk about? There's EVIDENCE on this.

Today we lost Walter Koenig. Some thoughts about a fine actor and genuinely nice guy....

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

Good news for melanoma patients! The first ever mRNA vaccine to target cancer is in our near future. ~15 yrs ago, patients w/advanced melanoma survived for a few months. A successful Phase 3 clinical trial showed that intismeran reduced the risk of recurrence by 42%. 🧪 archive.today/pp6mX

The House Judiciary Committee Democrats have released a report containing testimony from 11 women regarding allegations of sexual assault, including a new rape allegation, against President Trump in relation to Jeffrey Epstein that the lawmakers say has been deliberately covered up by the DOJ.

This, exactly. What is worth spending time and attention on? What would you never offload, even if you could? (Don't answer here. Answer for yourselves! And then act accordingly!)

Well this is a big deal . . . A federal court has just ruled that the Trump administration's termination of Maurene Comey (an AUSA with the Southern District of New York) was unlawful.

There was a thread the other day on here about all the things that have gotten better in our lifetimes, and it seemed half of them were about environmental quality. (No more smog, no more flaming rivers, etc.) All that is being aggressively undone.

Eric Lipton. below, has led an effort over the past two years to document the destruction of environmental protections under Trump II. It has gone for the most part unnoticed compared to, well, many other things, probably because it’s happening far from the Oval Office. But it’s very important.

NEW: Brent Taylor is the front-runner for one of Memphis’ congressional districts, recently redrawn from majority Black to majority white. As state senator, he repeatedly used his power to supersede local officials — and the will of the city’s voters. with @mlk50.com

this is honestly invigorating—maybe because the US far right has been on the rise most of my life, maybe because it suggests why the far right being unpopular is not enough. mostly: because it gives us something we can do

the DOJ is basically acting as if the president’s delusions are true

This week’s main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you “a very young boy.”

I've been recently diagnosed with POTS (after lifelong symptoms, so yay) and started wondering if this is why I could never ever do a cartwheel or dive into water. Googled it and Gemini butted in with the most unhinged hallucination.

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.

A stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, whose government cultivated close ties with Donald Trump and his family, has conceded defeat to a student-led opposition movement in a historic parliamentary election.

The Heritage Foundation adviser who recruited 12 bishops to pray over Trump in the Oval Office claimed a Ph.D. from an Italian university that doesn’t grant doctorates. His listed bachelor’s school is a high school. A Vatican official called the meeting an insult to Pope Leo XIV.

Obama: "That well-known evil empire Canada. That historical adversary of ours. Canada! *laughs* It's your neighbor. It's a few minutes' drive over the bridge! These are the people who gave us Martin Short and maple syrup. They are the nicest people! And someone we've gotten them so mad."

I know the draw at figure skating events is mostly random but it does feel like they could've massaged it a LITTLE bit to avoid having the Russian team skate immediately after the Ukrainian team days after the Ukrainian rinks were bombed and destroyed.
