The hate group America Next isn’t big enough to pay for multi-night spots ads during the World Series. I wonder if the race war messages they’re promoting have been paid for by a billionaire right-wing donor who dumped hundreds of millions into stealing elections? Does @propublica.org know who?

The votes initially haven’t been there for a lot of things (ending slavery, women’s right to vote, interracial marriage, bodily autonomy, same sex marriage, etc.) but we did the fucking thing anyways because IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO
Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

I still feel like all the street parties when Biden was declared the winner were just memory wiped. But we could have that again.

Meta strongly appears to be an enemy of democracy in the US. Proceed accordingly. If you're a politician, activist, or organization on the left, you HAVE to build your presence off of Meta and X - which basically means here and Mastodon. Bring your audience over as much as possible. It's critical.
Hey Meta 👋 We are currently hosting a get-out-the-vote rally in Osceola County, home to a large Puerto Rican community, and our #LatinosConAngie Instagram page was suddenly taken down while we were actively posting content from the event.

The US government poured all its resources into fabricating evidence that day laborer Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a criminal (all because he embarrassed the despot) even as it now rolls out the red carpet for an actual criminal who happens to be an ally of Trump
“As I reported hours ago, Flávio Bolsonaro has arrived safely in United States. The mastermind behind this operation is U.S. Secretary of State @SecRubio . From the United States, free and safe, Flávio will lead the opposition against Lula.” - Simon Levy … WTF???? 1/

Seriously, enough with all these motherfuckers
RFK Jr says Sam Altman told him it's "malpractice for a doctor to make a diagnosis or to make a prescription w/o at least checking AI.” RFK Jr says AI “can give you a second opinion that is much better informed than any doctor in the country." I asked OpenAI+Anthropic if they agree; never heard back

It's very, very telling, I think, that the markets are so concerned about the pro-democracy incumbent winning

There are so many different credible allegations about Donald Trump being a rapist, you can almost understand how The New York Times missed the new charges here, but uh, this is supposed to be The New York Times.
It is short and so I assume they are looking into things but it is... interesting... that the NYT piece on the new House Dems report on Trump ties to Epstein simply does not mention the brand new rape allegation and says whatever this is instead www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

Because they know if they set their LLM on it, it would provide an experimental cure, break into FDA and clinical trials databases and fake approvals for it, get some people to take it and die in convulsions, and then tell us "my mistake! A common side effect is death! I'll do better next time!"

i hope if nothing else, the media ignoring this finally stops people from saying "the reason the media doesn't run drumbeat scandal coverage on trump the way they did on Clinton is because Dems don't make a big deal of it like Republicans do"
this is just insanely damning stuff when you lay it all out democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

This is one good example of how appropriations hardball can work if you're willing to not blink first. Another: take your pick for demands and restrictions on funding Executive Office of the President. Yes, literally defund the White House. EOP is the central hub of the assault on the Constitution.
Is all this really feasible? Won't Trump refuse to sign anything like this? Won't he litigate it? Won't it lead to government shutdowns? Yes, yes, and yes. But it's still absolutely doable and necessary. Here's why: newrepublic.com/article/2171...
