Alaska authorities strongly oppose the Trump DOJ’s attempted “interference” in the election.
This is significant because there were concerns the state—which sought to DQ the second Sullivan—would take the same side.
But it didn’t. Quite the contrary. buff.ly/EJHtDpX

Video from Monroe New York,
The message was unmistakable:
“We oppose and have no part in Zionism and State of israel”
Not fringe. Not small.
Apartheid Israel's genocidal crimes against Palestinians are documented, evidenced, relentless. All enabled by the so-called international community, including Ireland. We have legal obligations under international law to act to prevent egregious human rights abuses. #SanctionsNow
It is painful to witness the images coming from the West Bank. The Israeli destructive machine stops at nothing: it uproots entire olive groves, erases years of labor, and devastates what for Palestinians represents life, history, and identity.
The Zionist entity be forever dammed 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Tommorow, when I will vote for the Joint List (ודם), the only non-Zionist party in Israel, I’ll think of everything that was done in our name

I’m voting for my friends that live in Gaza and the West Bank, they can’t vote 💔

You can hear a woman screaming that ICE is taking her husband. This incident took place in Stockton, California on the evening of October 25, 2026 around 9PM Pacific.
My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today.
Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

As Trump boasts about how much money the fossil fuels industry is making from the war on Iran, his personal holdings in oil and gas are now worth between $22.5–$81.6 million, up from $12.6–$46 million at the end of 2025. He's personally profiting from the war, just as he said in the campaign rally.
Ummm...what?
Kyiv Post - Pentagon Prepares US Military Bases to Operate Independently for 90 Days in Major War
The plan, known as FORTRESS, would require major military bases in the continental US to secure their own electricity, water, fuel, and communications.
Everyday I understand that FDR was so ahead of his time, he knew that the US needed to move beyond greed and more & the only way to do it was to give the working class the ability to be happy & more

Israel is currently sealing off the entire West Bank.
This is the following crimes under International Law.
Of course there will be silence or even support from the West for Israel as they commit these crimes.

Just to be clear...
Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax.
It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025.
California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax.
The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians.
Vote YES.
