I'm taking note of all the progressives in the US who claim to be about fighting the oligarchy who are silent on Ukraine. Ukrainian investigative journalists and civil society risk their lives to expose their oligarchs and their links to our own here at home. The fight against kleptocracy is global.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

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.”

gotta say hats off to all the writers pretending to do profiles of Silicon Valley CEOs just so they can add that one same paragraph, every single time, that demonstrates they're all insane freaks who do not know or like their own kids.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

We saw reports of "machines switching votes" in TN & TX. These are typically real issues — a calibration problem w/ older touchscreen machines — but not intentional efforts to rig the vote. Always good for voters to check that their vote is being recorded correctly. www.cip.uw.edu/2026/10/22/e...

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Indoor smoking bans. Those of you on the younger side have no idea how pervasive it was to go out to a restaurant, a bar, even a flight and be bombarded with second hand smoke. It was awful. So glad it is gone.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Kushner fired back on Twitter that Matthew Cole's book is full of lies. His lawyer called the claims fantastical, like a TV drama. Neither threatened to sue because that would mean discovery. Bottomline: Dutch intelligence confirmed Kushner is dangerously corrupt www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

I guess AP thinks if it puts “White House says” at the end of the sentence instead of the start, the claim will come across as more believable.

What is wrong with Dem leadership? They trip over themselves to meet with Jared Kushner but are mum on the political targeting racism and harassment of their own members.

Albanians have spent months fighting a luxury resort tied to Jared Kushner. Now that anger has grown into a much larger revolt against corruption and a government they say stopped listening.
