According to the Argentine press, the fugitive Bolsonaro Jr is on board a plane that has been barred from taking off from Missiones airport, on Argentine territory.

More women have accused Donald Trump of rape than seen him in a Cheesecake Factory

Surprising exactly zero people, "forgive my youthful indescretions committed at age 53" guy recently sponsored a law to get 15-year-olds tried as adults. nashvillebanner.com/2024/07/15/n...

the so-called “Arab Parties” would have 50% or more of the vote if all of the people living in the territory over which the State of Israel exercises control could vote

put an airtag on that guy, just because he quit doesn't mean he stopped working there.

incredible news: Sunshine Skies' David Henderson came in clutch with the single Hammons installationphoto from the commemorative book the city published about the artworks. he spotted the book on ebay last year and, having remembered and liked the art from way back when, decided to buy it.

tbqh the Souvenir Chairs from Charles' 1969 investiture as Prince of Wales are not good chairs, but they're flashy, and there are 4,600 of them, so they keep popping up. Meanwhile, I like Snowdon's slate slab throne better, but there's only the one greg.org/archive/2026...

Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi — known as "Los Javis" — have turned four pages of an unfinished play by Federico García Lorca into a sweeping epic about the persecution of gay men in Spain. n.pr/4yVvWJy

I love this for us. These neighborhoods continue to be *heavily* targeted by ICE & MPD.

Abortion is illegal in multiple states because every republican appointed justice lied about how they would vote.

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

von Rydingsvard's 2011 oral history with Judith Olch Richards for the Smithsonian's Archives of American Art is the best oral history I've ever read, and one of the most affecting things I've ever read, period. Save the PDF and read it. It will always be with you. www.aaa.si.edu/collections/...

Fascinating point in here: If Dems can win this district, it'll be the ultimate repudiation of "21st century Jim Crow politics." Read @aselrod.bsky.social

in 2025 Bliss on Fifth LLC bought a 16k sf Stanford White townhouse on 78th for $46m (orig. asking: $80m) apparently fully furnished, w/all the knockoff Royere, latticework, & lettuceware the prev owner's decorator could find in 2014. which they are now selling www.stairgalleries.com/bidding/AUC0...

I'm not criticizing those who are showcasing the accomplishments of scientists, artists, and writers to debunk RFK Jr.'s comments but I think it's also important to treat them not as ignorance, but as the outright malice they are. He made those comments to claim a US citizen is unfit for the Senate.

House Dems Report: “A growing body of evidence demonstrates Trump was an active participant in Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the 1990s. The DOJ & FBI are doing everything they can to keep the 🇺🇸 people in the dark about it.” The report: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Heritage is campaigning for the dismantlement of Title IX, calling its guarantee of equal rights a "failed experiment." The author of its recent report says “we live under a regime of compulsory feminism." He says women who pursue careers are "medicated, meddlesome and quarrelsome."

A hunting trip to Mongolia furnishes cover for meetings between TrumpJr and Putin sidekick Umar Kremlëv. TrumpJr stood on stage with a wide smile as an auctioneer sold off the chance to join him on a week-long hunting trip in western Mongolia. “Will you beat $225,000? I’m giving you a bargain,” the

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

RFK Jr is obviously racist and wrong, but also: he doesn't produce science; he will never win the Nobel Prize, the Fields Medal, or American Idol; he'll never produce literature unless you count his felching poems. The racist just wants racial props for things he's too stupid or untalented to do

Something that stood out to me when I was in Greensboro, how many Black women were conscientious of their grandparents' role in fighting for their right to vote. "Ancestors have fought for this right, and so it’s my duty to do it," one of them said thepoliticalspectrum.substack.com/p/theyre-att...

He also said Arabs don't produce any literature. Last year's winner of the National Book Award was Lebanese writer and painter Rabih Alameddine. The winner in non-fiction? Egyptian-American journalist Omar El Akkad.

I want to get one just so I can fold it into an origami crane, like how I would do with Félix González-Torres' “Untitled” (Silver Beach) at the Art Institute of Chicago.

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

Its not just about social media mobilization but party politics. The centre-right was vaporized by Bolsonarism's extreme right. The most important turnaround was in Sao Paulo and in Rio de Janeiro states. Here, old school politics by Lula's VP and former SP governor) Alckmin was important.

If there is a Republican candidate you are considering voting for because he is an exception, a throwback to the good old days when Republicans were decent, honorable people, I assure you: no there isn't.

The Republican politicians sold to you by the national media as reasonable, compassionate, thoughtful people are actually a bunch of irredeemable bigots, pricks to the core, just utter monsters.

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 is a good thread

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

NEW: Transgender Texas Student Union has retained counsel in response to the Travis County filing related to the fake transgender mailers. It's Chris Hilton, who previously worked for Ken Paxton at the Texas Attorney General's office and left temporarily to defend Paxton in his impeachment trial.

Why does this Sesame Street toy look like Grover is reenacting Poe's The Cask of Amontillado

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

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...

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win
