shut the fuck up meatball man

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

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

Digusting behavior from the mayor here to not invite me.

🚨🚨🚨Trump just made another comment about how his “two big monsters” will make history next week. “So, I wonder if I should say this. I’d like a little advice from my two people, my two big monsters. My two monsters are going to be the biggest stars in the country in a week.”

*BOLSONARO: FEDERAL POLICE REQUESTED I GIVE THEM MY PASSPORT

Nate Silver is showing my race as the most competitive in the United States today. We have steadily grown our race and now we are 8 days away. Would love your help to take us across the finish line.

My biggest new hobby this October was Coughing. I've become really good at Coughing, but I've decided it's a much worse hobby than basketball. Soon I will trade Coughing for basketball.

Wonder if there's something to look into here with the NYU of it all. His gigantic son goes to that school, which doesn't make much sense, considering what NYU is and what he is. Why?

Material impacts of net-negative immigration and zero social safety net in rural areas impacts already poor red states more than richer blue ones. It's why Republicans might make up ground in NY while they lose Kansas. The only kind of guy the Trump economy benefits is a daytrader in a rich city.

uhhhh

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Fun fact: KABOOM (the org from Parks and Rec that builds playgrounds) is REAL and we are actually partnering with them this week!!!! Help us build a playground in Evanston this Thursday! KAPOW!! 💥 volunteer.kaboom.org/opportunity/...

In case facts still matter

Sorry to respond to a meme, but this is in part a local news issue. Nobody's covering zoning board and city council meetings until it's way too late. Obviously, government capture by rich guys and corrupt local officials is the main reason, but the prophylactic is local news.

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

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.

Quelle surprise 🇧🇷

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

Lula won in part by banning online gambling

Apparently, some Houston voters are putting their I Voted stickers on the Lorenzo Salgado Araujo memorial. Stephen Miller is ALREADY trying to scapegoat others for losing whatever races they lose in Texas and elsewhere. This is a vivid testament that for some voters, his murder squad is the reason.

BREAKING: Flávio Bolsonaro admitted to hospital for “tube time”

The owners of Elvis Presley’s music sued Anthropic, saying it trained its AI models on more than 200 of Presley’s songs without permission, accusing it of copyright infringement. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/a...

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.

WE DID IT. I CANT FUCKING BELIEVED WE DEFEATED USA WE DEFEATED A COUP WE DEFEATED META WE DEFEATED EVERYONE WHO TRIED TO SILENCE BRAZILIA PEOPLE LULA WON GUYS. THE PEOPLE WON.

Lula Goes HARD

don't vote for me or my son ever again

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.

When Democrats do well this fall, we’re going to see a lot of “strategists” trying to take credit for their approach. The trans panic people have been nothing but a drag on Democratic momentum and they need to fuck off into the sun

Betting markets are breaking towards Lula as we speak. If he beats Hospital Man Jr., even with all of the corrupt bullshit — from bus services shut down to Zuck and Trump's government interfering — he's a Certified Dawg™.

Donald Trump’s closing message for the midterms

The governor of Bahia calls out the election sabotage, which has been reported in at least 10 states now, and demands extended voting hours. This is a shit show

Check out how easy this is.

good lord, things in brazil rn, with lula lodging allegations of serious voter suppression folha.com/h1vgnw6l

Fuck my mother?

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

NEW: Ingram, Texas, was just rebuilding from a devastating flood when its tiny police department enrolled in ICE’s 287(g) deportation program. Within a year, cops would hand over the equivalent of 10% of the town. with @nytimes.com
