it feels truly insane that it’s not

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

3 hours ago the Brazilian Supreme Court rejected any challenge to the election results. Just now Flavio Bolsonaro has dropped his objections. Lula is President it cannot be stopped, and Flavio Bolsonaro will be going on trial for corruption. And then to jail.

Hundreds of students at Cass Tech and Detroit School of Arts walked out demanding justice for Nolan Wells. This racist "injustice" system has failed his family, and students all over the country are taking action to demand accountability for his murder!

How racist and desperate do you have to be to look at this and say, “Got ‘em!”?

The White House put an AI video of Hillary, Chuck, Hakeem, Kamala, and Ilan jamming out to The Gap Band’s “Outstanding” like a Tiny Desk concert and described Democrats as “washed up,” but damn they never looked cooler. Total self-own.

Aerial Combat! Black-rumped Flameback Found widely distributed in the Indian subcontinent. It is one of the few woodpeckers that are seen in urban areas. It has a characteristic rattling-whinnying call and an undulating flight. 📸: @balram_v_panikassery

No. The charges are already time barred. Under the relevant statute of limitations, an indictment must be filed within 10 years of the offense, which allegedly occurred on October 5, 2016. This DOJ is out of control.

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com

I believe that DOJ has 30 days to get a grand jury indictment after charging on information unless Comey waived his right to a grand jury indictment, which I kind of doubt. That 30 days would expire 11/4. Is that correct @joycewhitevance.bsky.social @barbmcquade.bsky.social @rparloff.bsky.social ?

Feels like a metaphor for Elon Musk

the beggars out of here getter@milesklee.bsky.social

In July, an incensed Elon Musk vowed that Grok Imagine would produce a "full-length" and "historically accurate" adaptation of Homer's Odyssey to put Christopher Nolan's woke version to shame. Three months later, we got seven minutes of slop that Grok itself admits is not historically accurate.

1/ Yelling at people online hasn't moved anyone. But look at what happened this year. Hungary, Serbia, and Brazil all saw record numbers of people show up to vote. The difference wasn't louder arguments. It was people talking to people they already knew. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

#ResistanceRoots Mahalia Jackson was born on this day in 1911 in New Orleans. For Jackson, her faith, her music and her business ventures were all intertwined with her untiring activism. She used them to uplift the Black community and provide a powerful voice for the Civil Rights Movement. /1

Water is a necessity for life, and rural Texans depend on their wells to survive. Yet Big Tech wants to build massive AI data centers that could drain the same aquifers our families and farmers rely on. We cannot allow billionaire corporations to put our drinking water at risk for their profits.

Trump’s bid to steal a DC public park and turn it into an elitist golf course has been blocked. When many institutions kowtow to the dictator, federal district courts are holding the line.

I have zero sympathy for anyone involved in this grotesque farce. When you travel all the way to DC to go to the home of the most infamous fascist in US history and get ushered into his office alongside a videographer and photographer, you know *exactly* what vile game you're playing. Disgraceful.

TRUMP: “We didn’t start the war with Iran." LIAR! You illegally started the war on February 28 by assassinating Iran's Supreme Leader without Congressional approval. You even gave it a name: Operation Epic Fury. You said it would take 4–6 weeks. It’s been 8 months.
