A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

The last time a Democrat won Georgia’s gubernatorial election, the average price of gas was $1.01 and George Clooney was the star of ER. Let’s contact Georgia voters and change that. 👇

Donald Trump was “an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of young women in the mid-to-late 1990s,” according to the report.

I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.
I just think Matt's wrong about this. We're at a point in our technological development where a ton of problems spill over national borders--if Flavio Bolsonaro burns down the Amazon, that will flood houses in Miami.

correct states further down the path of autocracy than us have had those autocracies overthrown by sufficiently large voting numbers recently we can do it here too
The US is not about to have a free and fair election. The state has put its thumb on the scale to favor the ruling party in multiple ways. It's a mostly free, somewhat unfair election. But still one where the ruling party can be overwhelmed by numbers. Hence the term "competitive authoritarianism."

He's best known for Chekov, but IMO some of his best acting is playing a charming, but negatively aligned telepath in Babylon 5 Check out this small compilation! <: youtu.be/s72fJb7a-s8?...
Oh no 😭 One of the last members of the USS Enterprise has left. RIP Walter Marvin Koenig (1936-2026) Star Trek, Babylon 5, Moontrap, The Starlost, The Questor Tapes, Futurama... What a career in sci-fi. I will miss Pavel Chekov. Again 😞

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

In 1991, when I was a freshman in college, Magic Johnson was diagnosed with HIV. My roommate (a basketball player and fan) was genuinely devastated. We all assumed this meant he would be dead within a couple of years. He's 67 now. ❤️ bsky.app/profile/mdru...

At an election science conference I went to in June, a panel was lit up by claims that USPS delays in primaries were causing more ballots to arrive late. Someone asked: Has anyone done research yet to see if USPS changes are tied to ballot rejections? So @propublica.org did. 🧵
This whole 🧵 Do we need more Dem fighters? YES, but sometimes the lesser of two evils is a WHOLE LOT less evil
I do not claim that you can pour everything into the gap between Trump on the one hand and Biden/Harris on the other, but into that chasm nevertheless fit a great many lives lost or ruined. It turns out there really was a difference!

Support these journalists. This is detail work, not glamorous gossip and it is crucial for our democracy to function that we can all trust it even when we disagree or didn’t vote for the same policies, and that starts with understanding and knowing how it works.
There's a lot of talk right now about what happens *after* votes are cast. So a reminder: Bolts has a state-by-state, 50-state resource on WHO COUNTS AND CERTIFIES the results. Always with the hope that it doesn't end up useful to know, but bookmark it:

Fellow WA voters, let's bury this. I can't imagine any parent wants to subject their child to this vile "examination."
Doctors and nurses are voicing their objections. I-638 would require EVERY girl who wants to participate in sports to go through biological sex verification. That means expensive, invasive, and utterly gross examinations. Protect our kids and let them play. Vote NO on I-638

A soon-to-be-Congressman and several other American citizens, including multiple faith leaders, were kidnapped by a terrorist organization receiving funds from the U.S. government. This isn’t even the first time this has happened. We must cut all funding to the IDF now!
Today, while protecting Palestinians, Brad Lander & a group of American rabbis & others were taken by the IDF. Releasing Brad isn't enough, the Israeli govt must release them all. If this is how they treat Americans, imagine how they treat Palestinians. Trump & Rubio's silence fuels this impunity.

Kohen Wiley's family deserves justice, and justice requires transparency. We stand with Kohen's family in demanding the release of bodycam footage. Our communities deserve a system where every child's life is valued. Kohen deserved safety from those whose job it is to serve and protect.

Federal, state, and local officers conspired to carry out an unlawful and discriminatory raid to detain hundreds of attendees at a predominately Latino family event in Idaho. Our new short documentary tells the story of our clients who were detained and the impact it had on their families.

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)
Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

Having teenagers vote for local school boards makes so much sense!
NEW: High schoolers in Culver City, in the Los Angeles region, pushed a ballot measure four years ago to lower the voting age in local elections to 16. The measure failed by only (and coincidentally) 16 votes. They're trying again this year with a new ballot measure that'd lower voting age to 16:

Together with other scientists I’m suing the 🇺🇸 US National Institutes of Health for violating our 1st Amendment rights & censoring our health science. I’m ready to shine a light on the darkest days. Buckle up, read on. This gets pretty wild… THREAD
By terminating research grants like Kelton's to censor views it doesn’t like, the NIH is blocking scientists from work that would advance public health for all of us. We're pushing back. Tell Congress to demand the NIH restore the grants and stop its censorship campaign at aclu.org/nih_censorship_
