“I’m the only one on this stage with a path to victory — unfortunately the only other person that should be here answering these questions… isn’t.” @jerrigreen4tn.bsky.social calls it “SHAMEFUL” Marsha ducked 🦆 the MTSU debate, saying the 2 independents there with her can’t win. #MIAMarsha

Dolores Huerta, who founded the United Farm Workers with Cesar Chavez, changing laws and the lives of thousands of laborers, died on Wednesday at 96. A skilled organizer, she coordinated walkouts and negotiated pathbreaking contracts with agribusiness. nyti.ms/3Ul92Na

In the 2026 midterms, citizens in multiple states will decide ballot initiatives relating to campaign finance reform. It’s part of the larger story of voters’ fury over political corruption. bit.ly/47EWQtV

Incredible words from Zelenskyy, a leader who uses honesty as a weapon. What a stark contrast to an American president who treats it as an obstacle. History will remember the difference. Slava Ukraini!

“My writing doesn’t suck, actually, because all the times I claimed it was my writing it was actually somebody else’s.”

Amy Acton's stepfather's surviving biological daughter spoke to The Daily Mail when they knocked on her door in Ohio, while sobbing. She said: She believed Amy's story, because her father raped her sister more than once /

And we know the extraordinary power she built by inspiring especially the most marginalized to own the power of our labor and act on love for our families, communities and a world big enough for all of us. (5/5)

Our hearts are with the Huerta family and all of our @ufw.bsky.social worker siblings. Dolores Huerta gave us all of the empathy, care, and encouragement of a mother for workers everywhere… (1/5)

so priceless that prolific ratfucker James O'Keefe, by going undercover to prove how easy it is to commit voter fraud.... ends up proving how hard it is to commit voter fraud, and then catches charges for unlawful voting chef's kiss, stellar work all around www.startribune.com/conservative...

Bolsonaro ignored a court order to relinquish his passport and is under criminal investigation for money laundering. I thought this administration was *against* letting criminals into the country. Oh, wait . . . not if they are corrupt, election-denying fascists like the man in the Oval Office.

The government must begin reviewing foreign language documents in the Epstein Files while it appeals the district court's decision in plaintiff @katiephang.bsky.social's favor. The result is squarely compelled by the law, so why does DOJ continue to resist?

It’s unfortunate that Zelenskyy and Ukraine has to simultaneously fight a two-front war against Russian barbarians and the greedy gangsters running the US government.

Devastating news. 💔 Dolores Huerta was the backbone of the American labor movement, and I hope history remembers her that way. She co-founded the United Farm Workers, fought tirelessly for working people, and gave us the rallying cry “Sí, se puede!” Rest in power, Dolores Huerta. 🕊️

"A decade after the Paris Agreement, our findings are unambiguous: the health harms of climate change are growing faster than the world's response to them, and in many cases even accelerating," says professor Marina Romanello of The Lancet Countdown regarding latest study. phys.org/news/2026-10...

WIRED: “ICE Running One of the Largest Anti-Left Surveillance Ops in History… far-reaching spying against left-wing activists that rivals FBI CIA crackdowns on Civil Rights and anti-war movements…” Fascism is already here. 🇺🇸 Abolish ICE. www.wired.com/story/ice-is...

Ansari: "The irony I want to point out is you have Trump speaking with the govt of Qatar and getting a multibillion jet. You have his son in law as well as his sons making billion dollar deals with the Saudis. But then here in the US, the way they talk about Muslim Americans & Arabs is disgusting."

Zelenskyy calls out monthlong wait for Hegseth to sign off on Patriot missiles

If you believe Melania Trump negotiated a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia, you're the reason "DO NOT EAT" labels are put on soap. If you believe Donald Trump is going to give you a check for $5,000 if Republicans win, you're the reason irons have "NEVER IRON CLOTHES WHILE BEING WORN" warnings.

Economist Dean Baker: “A universal Medicare system has a huge amount to recommend it. Of course, the main point is to ensure that people can get the health care that they need, but it also eliminates a vast amount of waste in the national health care system.” www.commondreams.org/opinion/the-...

Living with a medical condition in this country has never been harder. Pass Medicare for All. So families can breathe again.

WSJ: Ukraine’s military Starlink system was working normally again Sat., the country’s defense minister said, raising hopes the 10-day disruption by owner Elon Musk of the country’s satellite internet service was ending, helping it again to defend itself against Russia. www.wsj.com/world/europe...

President Trump said he came up with the strategy for the Justice Department's suit over Alaska's Senate race. This DOJ "has been corrupted by direct involvement by the president using it as a weapon for political purposes." - @mawaldman.bsky.social on @allinwithchris.bsky.social

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, around 5.5mn people, including roughly 2mn children, have lost SNAP assistance (food stamps) since Trump signed the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act in July 2025. Underfed kids are beautiful, eh? www.commondreams.org/news/5-milli...

The BBC is doing something important, refusing to be intimidated by a powerful person trying to use the legal system to punish criticism and discourage scrutiny. They’re schooling the American press on what the 1st Amendment means. Read about it here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-bbc-st...

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Some diehard climate science deniers — like US Dept. of Energy Chief Chris Wright — keep sneering that more people die in the cold than in the heat while these clowns ignore the severe undercounting of the heat toll. www.npr.org/2026/09/04/n...

Elon Musk is spending $445M+ to buy the midterms for one very simple reason. He's terrified that a Democratic Congress might finally hold him accountable.
