Quick and dirty, but here's a false-colour timelapse view of Finland's forest destruction for a data centre using Copernicus images. Red = vegetation No red = human structure link.dataspace.copernicus.eu/ravk Google's reporting here: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justi... It doesn’t appear that this is a huge concern for DoJ elsewhere, only in states making progress in sensible gun legislation after surviving horrendous mass gun violence against 1st graders. DoJ is soliciting complaints from gun nuts, to make our communities less safe.

“The DOJ should spend more time and resources enforcing the laws against illegal sales of firearms. They should not spend any time investigating police departments that responsibly screen firearm permit applicants and protect public safety.” - @blumenthal.senate.gov ctmirror.org/2026/10/23/d...

A growing body of evidence demonstrates Donald Trump was an active participant in Epstein’s sexual abuse of children & young women during the 90s. The DOJ & FBI are doing everything they can to keep the American people in the dark #Pinks #Epstein democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

European leaders have hailed Brazilian Pres Lula da Silva's re-election. Opponent Bolsonaro, whose father Jair Bolsonaro is in JAIL for leading a coup attempt has contested & said election should be annulled. Lula has cut Amazon deforestation to a record low #Pinks www.euronews.com/2026/10/26/d...

First Musk said he did not disable Starlink for Ukraine. Now he's confessing to disabling it but says he was justified in doing so. Congress, if you can hear me, we need hearings when Dems take over. www.cnn.com/2026/10/25/e...

Current and former defense officials say former Wall Street executives have taken hold of a wing of the Pentagon and they’re favoring people and companies with close ties to the Trump administration.

Yeah, this man should not be allowed to practice law, and any failure to take away his ability to practice law after all of this would be a part of the end of the rule of law in America.

We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

THREAD 1: The Nuclear Option. Using Presidential Power to Wipe Out EPA Toxics Rules For decades now, Clean Air Act has allowed the president to issue a so-called presidential exemption to at least temporarily suspect a rule intended to protect public health/air quality. I found this from 1973

Times have been tough in this Ohio town since they closed the old vile ad factory. So when gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy ran a vile ad weaponizing his opponent’s childhood rape, they finally had something to cheer about. But now the woke mob wants to take that all away.

I don't know about you, but it's been a long two years and I could really go for these fascists getting their long-deserved comeuppance.

Despite the massive swath of destruction it is leaving behind, I think I'm going to enjoy this end-stage MAGA implosion. via @nycjayjay.bsky.social

Jared’s father, Charles Kushner, pleaded guilty to 18 counts of tax evasion and witness tampering. He hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, videotaped it, and mailed the tape to his sister. Trump pardoned him and made him Ambassador to France and Monaco. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles...

“A gaping wound of earth” 🌎 😕 Google illegally knocked down 250,000 trees in Finland to build a data center. @nonewdatacenters (From the Guardian)

Jan 2025: Trump shutters SDNY Epstein Probe Mar: 1000+ FBI agents are trained to mark Trump’s name for supervisory review May: Bondi tells Donald he’s in the files June: White House, DoJ, FBI conspire to create “case closed” memo July: Memo released Aug: Maxwell moved/sex offender status waived

A data leak from Germany’s far-right German Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) has revealed the extent of efforts by the party to court Donald Trump and other leading figures in the Maga movement, stretching back more than a decade. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Revelations about WH's involvement in Epstein memo in files pried loose by @democracydefendersfund.org lawsuit Trump was briefed his name was in the files--Weeks later his deputy chief of staff was editing the DOJ-FBI memo that declared the matter closed Patel sent the draft: "Here you go"👇 -TN

The moral rot is top-to-bottom in the GOP. But let’s focus on the more specific issue here: Trump and his party like rape. Whether it’s child abuse or campus sexual assault, they think rape is ok. Maybe they even think it’s funny.

If it is possible to know which specific companies are now going to be selling Russian fuel in the US, someone please let us all know because that’s something many of us want to know.

In their first interview since being fired, OpenAI safety researchers Mikita Balesni and Tomek Korbak take us inside the Hugging Face hack probe and explain why OpenAI’s story doesn't add up. Watch or listen now.

It's striking how exactly they repeated Putin's mistake in Ukraine - assuming a quick war that's over in several days without making any contingency plans for what would happen if things go wrong and the war drags out

Lula vows to change Brazilian Politics to empower the people and make sure things are never the same again and US backed scum like Bolsonaro can never rig the system. (With English Subtitles)

There’s no law of journalism that says a news outlet must instantly report what a serial-liar president says in the absence of any evidence or corroboration. Don‘t be in such a hurry to be wrong.

Ranking Members @raskin.house.gov, @morelle.house.gov demand answers on Trump Administration’s use of bogus noncitizen claims to strip Americans of their voting rights. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

Reporter: Her mother stood by after her husband raped Amy Acton-- Trump: You don't know that. You don't know that. You don't know anything. Her mother went on television and said that the daughter who's running for governor of Ohio is a liar and a bad person, and that's all I know.

How does Rickett's time as Governor counteract Osborn's claim about favoritism to the rich and powerful. What measures did Ricketts take as Governor to address class disparities? What do his "deep connections" to the state have to do with the charge? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/22/u...

I remember when media did a whole bunch of stories about Joe Biden’s shoes to emphasize that he was old. But Trump can randomly blurt out random noises, fall asleep constantly in meetings, and walk like a drunk failing a sobriety test, and we get almost nothing.

They are convinced that the cruelty, the depravity, the viciousness (and the racism) won them two elections. They believe that any moderate, decent, non-racist white American secretly thinks like them, and pretends otherwise only because they're "canceled" by wokeism and political correctness.

"Oh well, thousands of people died because of my ignorant, racist efforts haha and thousands more needlessly lost their jobs, destroying their families but what are you gonna do, life goes on amirite"

But… But… Brett Kavanaugh told me these things would be easily resolved.

Q: Republicans are denouncing the Ramaswamy ad— Trump: They don't know the facts. Q: Do the sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you? Trump: Quiet. You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

Rapists stick together

The Executive Branch has no authority to regulate states’ election decisions as to candidate qualifications, and the choice to file a lawsuit like this just days before an election speaks volumes about the political corruption festering at the top levels of the DOJ.

Elon Musk continues to throttle Ukraine and to enable Russian ballistic missile attacks notwithstanding supposed appeals from Trump that he stop. This is a charade to try to absolve Trump from blame over his decision to tilt towards Russia.

Trump’s people keep handing out pardons to donors and connected families. Elizabeth Warren just introduced a bill to force the banks that worked with Epstein to open the records.

nobody stopped Musk before he broke the state monopoly on violence, so now either he goes or the nation-state does

"What's the point of writing about national security—or, for that matter, of having a national security apparatus at all—if the men in those jobs (it’s mostly men who fucked this up) can’t spot the most obvious domestic threat to U.S. national security since the bombardment of Fort Sumter in 1861?"
