There was a brand new allegation that the president raped a woman in the 1990s yesterday and it appears to not be on the NYT homepage at all right now

Read: Serbia's long-serving strongman leader conceded defeat to a diverse, student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

Keeps happening

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

Big mood

When the other side wins, it's not really real www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

hang on, so Bleecker Street was sold to a Pierre Omidyar-backed group that also happens to back Tosca Musk's Passionflix... and now "MUSK" is disappearing from theaters?

so we learned the russians and the dutch hacked jared kushners phone i am sure we have heard the end of this

The New York Times wrote articles that were like "the impossible-to-characterize elusive politics of Elon Musk / he's lost interest in politics" right before he became *literally the largest GOP donor in history* the next election cycle. Twice. Two times!

This is one of the most holy sh*t stories I’ve ever read in my life. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

It's like every day there is a headline "Techbro Creates Terrifying New Product that No-One Asked For, Valued at $1.2B"

100% this and proud to have @lydiakauppi.bsky.social on our team.

I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...

*doakes voice* "There it is!" For years we told you that these weirdos would rather lose to literal nazis than take even a half step to the left. They're more afraid of progressives than they are of the most racist, most violent, most self-immolating part of the extreme right.

"I would rather have the Republicans keep the house." - James Carville

I would rush $15 before tonight's fundraising deadline to any democrat who commits to never mentioning his name or speaking to him again.

Seriously: Stop using James Carville as a mouthpiece. Stop. He's a grumpy old white guy who's scared of change and that is ALL. Stop soliciting his soundbites and Stop. Listening. To him.

Words cannot express how much i never want to see ot hear from james carville in anything related to the political sphere, ever again

Anyway, what was that you were saying about Tom Morello leaving his ballot blank in a safe blue state?

fuck i just realized my wife has never disavowed the muslim brotherhood

Zuckerberg's own employees confirm that he directed an intentional effort to throw the Brazilian election in favor of Flávio Bolsonaro, apparently because he understood this is what Trump wanted. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Stfu @bsky.app

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

lol what is happening here

Meta's attempt to throttle #nokings visibility is a tell, I think. I suspect Zuckerberg has figured out that he went too far in embracing the second Trump administration and that he might run into real problems if Democrats seize control of the gavel.

Update: WE ARE BACK IN! We can post again. This was utter bullshit on the biggest early vote effort in history. But it will not stop what we're building. No Kings means no kings in the White House or in Silicon Valley.

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

Trump invokes executive privilege in Kennedy Center court fight www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

my only prediction if the democrats take the house and senate is we will be hearing a lot about the federal deficit

Almost missed this one www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

The president of south Korea posting “please don’t kill yourself” as their stock market craters is…. Bleak

1) vance has this weird preoccupation with demanding that people show him gratitude 2) this is just another expression of the idea that some americans don’t count and at most should be seen and not heard

NEW: Ukrainian troops were caught off guard by restrictions on Starlink satellite internet systems that disrupted frontline operations, as Kyiv received no advance warning from its partners of a Russian missile attack on its energy facilities for the second day running, Ukrainian officials tell me.

OSSOFF: You didn't answer earlier. Answer now. Did Donald Trump win the 2020 election? MIKE COLLINS: You know, the 2020 election. Everybody has seen my views on that OSSOFF: What are they? COLLINS: There was a lot of doubt in that election OSSOFF: I didn't hear an answer

It's really remarkable how in race after race, Republicans are saddled with the worst candidates imaginable - Paxton, Whatley, Husted, Rogers, Marshall, Moody, M. Collins, Graham... Some of them may win, but my god what a collection of losers, crooks, and dumbasses

Right-wing online influencers: We can't prove Talarico *didn't* go to a rehab in Ohio NYT: We can, we saw video proof WSJ: Speaking of, we saw video of Paxton partying at the Burj Khalifa with his girlfriend and two men under federal indictment for fraud, one of whom donated to Paxton's campaign
