think about how much money the DNC would save if it replaced all its consultants with this sign

District 4 City Council candidate and Portland police officer Eli Arnold is ranked among the top police officers for incidents in which force was used against a person, according to Portland Police Bureau (PPB) data.

‼️Huge news‼️Almost 200 more apartments in the city are being converted to social housing units.

Raskin: "When historians look back on this miserable period of our history, they might say that the first problem was disregarding all those women who told us back in 2016 that they had been sexually harassed or assaulted by Donald Trump."

just heartbreaking stuff Alex Pretti's mother calls out ICE and the Trump administration for killing her son and smearing his name, and calls for justice to be done.

“For anybody who’s upset with data centers, I hope that when you email me, don’t email me...Print it off & walk it to my office.” Gonna post more from this article after the @troublemakers.bsky.social rally, but this quote shows why we need to educate electeds on AI: LLM DC's are not email DC's...

Kamala Harris: I just fell out of a coconut tree.

A part of this not mentioned is that Texas used to let kids transition. I volunteered at a camp for trans kids in Houston when I was in college (pre transition I know I know how did I not know I was trans). Guess where part of that camp was? Texas Children’s. That’s how much we lost

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

RFK Jr, meeting with the Kent County GOP alongside Mike Rogers and John James, railed against the Muslim Brotherhood by claiming the organization is “why you don’t see any Arab Muslims winning the Nobel.”

We don’t ordinarily include endorsements from individuals, but we’ll make an exception here … leftycheatsheet.org#e=20261103&r...

🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration asked Washington to set aside ballots from around 400 registered voters it claims may be noncitizens. The alarming request comes amid the DOJ's legal effort to compel California to do the same to 20k voters.

@mayor.seattle.gov VETO the RV Ban!

Yesterday in #Burien, #ICE agents were observed using AR-15-style weapons during the abduction of a community member. Today, they pointed a pistol at a rapid response volunteer, who had been observing from over 20ft away. #ICE is quickly becoming more violent www.facebook.com/share/p/18wA...

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

So does Bolsonaro Jr go straight to the hospital now or

UGH we cannot have anything good in this world

Rally speaker: "Mike Rogers is an American. Abdul has a birth certificate. The birth certificate says he's a citizen of America. You know what? a birth certificate doesn't make you an American."

I don't even know what these different characters really mean but I pick 4 because Santa's Little Helper is in the background 🥹 #skyhounds

This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.

Im old enough to remember when the Dems sold out their voters and base in the first few weeks AFTER they got elected

oh hell no.

the peoples goodnighted will not be bedbug bited

I am quite genuinely fascinated by the psychology of this. After two or three Facebook posters for local events which were so busy they honestly made me feel a bit nauseous, I snapped and said that AI posters give me headaches. And the person who made this this asked me HOW I CAN TELL IT'S AI:

If you donated to Josh Turek without realizing he was running on a federally funded trans healthcare coverage ban, you can request a refund of your donation here: help.actblue.com/hc/en-us/art...

An excellent thread on the many, many insults and injuries of I-638 here in Washington state.

What a great idea! These should spread, if they haven't already.

The PDC just handed more influence to rich and powerful special interests with nearly no warning. Control of the state Supreme Court is on the line. Initiatives attacking fundamental rights are on the ballot. This is a travesty.

Reverse babadook

"You just want the 'perfect' candidate" is bullshit. I want a candidate who supports the bare fucking minimum - respect for the basic human rights of every person. If you can't meet that EXTREMELY low bar, that's on you for being a piece of shit. If that makes me a "purity princess," so be it.

HOLY SHIT. In a sworn statement yesterday, an ICE agent told a federal judge that an ICE flight to Equatorial Guinea had been cancelled and so couldn't be used to bring Ahmed Soliman back to the United States. The plane just landed in Equatorial Guinea. prospect.org/2026/10/23/t...

The Browns, Bengals, Guardians, Reds, Blue Jackets, Cavaliers, Crew, and FC Cincinnati. The owners of every single pro sports team in Ohio have all donated to Vivek Ramaswamy. And not a single one has spoken up about his recent ad. www.foiaball.com/p/ohio-sport...

How I imagine the situation inside Team Vivek recently (if there’s at least one sane person there anyway)

ICYMI, LA Taco has parted ways with two of its most fearless ICE reporters, Memo Torres and Izzy Ramirez (@eltragon.bsky.social and @izzymirez.bsky.social on here). Neither says why, but it sounds like it was sudden and involuntary.

We all know what “protect girls’ sports” means in the 2026 election cycle. DCCC coordinating on an ad using that language is unacceptable, and it gives other campaigns permission to follow. This is an inappropriate use of party resources. (1/3) www.erininthemorning.com/p/dccc-relea...

AOC: "What the Trump administration is doing in targeting trans people is to get everyone on board with supporting defunding their own civil rights ... understand that when they attack trans girls in sports, they're also attacking all women's ability to stand up against their abusers"

I do think my greyhound might like this, so fair #chewy #playskull

Just as a private equity firm buys out a corporation and strips it for parts, a consultant class is raiding the Democratic Party and getting “generationally wealthy” along the way New from me and @adambonica.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2163...

Quirky Japanese man sets local woman up for decades of following a right-wing sport 😡 #dammitichiro
