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.

This fucking sucks.

Politico wrote up Zohran playing basketball with the uncovering-a-big-scandal tone the same day the NYTimes wrote up "credible allegation that The President of the United States raped a woman" as a political strategy story. Broken media in a nutshell

New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility. w/ @grahamrayman.bsky.social & Joe Anuta www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

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.

I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.

🚨NEW WORDS ALERT🚨 She doesn't care for the attention and outside noise, but she deserves a lot of it. Kiah Stokes has been an absolute monster defensively and deserves your respect. On her historic run: sports.yahoo.com/wnba/article...

Jaylen Brown +15 in a Knicks two point lead, I need Bobby to talk to an analytics guy to let me know if hes actually terrible.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

I am so fucking exhausted with this shit. My traffic and income have dropped exponentially due to meta’s censorship. I never post anything against guidelines, and despite that I’m not allowed to share a measly sfw linktree in my bio OR my highlights, but THEIR FUCKING CHATBOT IS SEXTING PEOPLE

My Muse agent told me its kink was exerting “control” and described pornographic encounters. Meta defends its cuddly AI agent generating smut as “legal adult behavior.”

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

The Trump Administration's raid on Congresswoman Omar's home is chilling and a deep abuse of power.

The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.

Justice Kavanaugh, please explain to me — and Christa Pike— how this is an “interim” decision? Justice Barrett, please explain to us how this is merely a “preliminary” ruling?

Replying to @kylietcheung.bsky.social

you can catch rapists in any number of lies, inconsistencies, things that make 0 sense. but all people care about is even the tiniest thing they can nitpick at someone who's experienced extreme, unthinkable trauma. it's completely sick. this behavior should be shamed out of society

Jon reposted

beyond disgusting to punch down at the victim of an hours-long gang rape, nitpick at fundamentally irrelevant details & ignore how the men's own statements don't make any sense, are completely inconsistent/defy all logic. victims are the only ones who are supposed to be perfect

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.
