From Confidence: Holding Your Seat Through Life’s Eight Worldly Winds.

Who did you remind to vote today? I reminded my parent friends at the bus stop.

Shocking absolutely no one.

This is everyone close to trump.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

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.

"amplify your people" is 100% the best strategy

Who excites you? I’m excited about Sherrod Brown recovering his seat as a progressive Senator in ”red“ Ohio. He’s far more progressive and inspiring than either of my NY Senators (somebody, anybody primary them, please)

The most salient analysis out of Brazil is to completely avoid amping right wing voices on social media to criticize or fight them. Instead, Amplify the candidates who need to win. Amplify the need for youth turnout. Forget the idiot billionaire fascists for the next 8 days.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

The world doesn’t have to be so cynical. The future is unwritten. The world CAN be a different, more compassionate place. The key to not getting stuck in cynicism is to always make friends with the sadness and heartbreak underlying the negativity, without letting them run the show.

"In a series of interviews with Democratic staff on the House Judiciary Committee, Beatrice Keul said Trump raped her that year in 'brutal' fashion in a hotel room at Trump’s Plaza Hotel in Atlantic City after the pair spent time with Jeffrey Epstein ..."

Lula's margin of victory went from 1.8 percent in 2022 to 3.6 percent yesterday. TURNOUT IS EVERYTHING. Please nag the young people in your life to vote this week.

Yissss

If you want more Mamdani's, people under 40 MUST vote, and vote early. So far, according to this, that's...not happening. Please nag a few young people in your life. They'll thank you later.

Culver City’s vice mayor says lowering the voting age in local elections could strengthen civic engagement and voting habits. “We are at an existential moment for democracy in this county. And here we have people who are ready and willing to be engaged.”

as a mostly embarrassed native, i don’t say these words lightly: LET’S FUCKING GO, LONG ISLAND!!

Meditate today, even for just five minutes. Self-compassion is the key to everything, and it starts by spending a few minutes working with your own mind.

A preview of November 4th in the US.

Meta deserves to die in every country. Also, elections have (positive) consequences.

Of all the bad uses of AI, the offloading of your own relational awareness and emotional intelligence is perhaps the one I pity the most.

trump gonna go to bed extra scared tonight. November 3rd, buddy. Tens of millions of voters coming for you.

Don't call it a comeback. He's been here for (80) years.

This probably means Donald Trump Jr. would also lose if he ran for US president.

Lula survives. WOW.

Looking like a good day for democracy in the world. Let's keep this going November 3. Please remind all your people to vote early if they can.

Bettinh markets are again proving their total uselessness in the Brazilian election

Optimistic for Lula rn

Am I right that the results in Brazil tend to favor Bolsonaro earlier and Lula later? If so, decent start.

Brazil results starting to come in after voting hours extended. Gonna be tight.

Remember to vote WFP line in NY.

Brazil is a great lesson in why it's so ridiculously important for Americans to vote early in-person.

Young people getting it done in Serbia.

There is blatant voter suppression happening right now in Brazil: flights cancelled and buses suspended to Northeastern capitals where Lula holds the majority, polling stations changed to thousands of kms away last-minute, voters in London told they need to go to Edinburgh… This is criminal.

The best protest against a company is to stop buying what it sells. The best protest against a government is to vote every time you can.

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

Reports coming in that, in the city of Salvador, a far-right politician - the actual mayor - has reduced the fleets of available buses so that Lula voters can't get to the polling stations.

If a...KANSAS democrat...can do this, why can't every democrat? It will be so telling if the red state democrats who didn't attack trans people do better than the ones who attacked them for no reason at all. May everyone be safe.

Voted early in Brooklyn. Only moderately crowded. Get out there! Early voting in NY runs until next Sunday!

My unpopular opinion (at least in terms of people's choices) is that staying on Meta is even worse than staying on Twitter, which is also pretty damn bad.

Pray for Democracy in Brazil. Lula is tied with Donald Trump Jr. in polls.

Voted with my friend Congresswoman Ilhan Omar today. You should get out and vote early too.

🌞 GOOD MORNING NEW YORK 🌞 🗳 Early voting starts today! Make sure you know where your polling place is and who are your local WFP candidates, and vote up and down the ballot on Row D, the Working Families ballot line. Visit votewfp.info and let's get out the vote!

TEXANS: October 24-25 is the ONLY WEEKEND we have to vote early in this year's midterm elections. Don't wait until the last minute. Vote early — now through Friday, October 30 — or on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3. Learn more at aclutx.org/vote.

Get there this weekend, my friends!

and to all of creation.
