⚡️️️️️️️Russia's assault on Ukraine's energy grid is a war crime, UN says. Russia’s attacks on energy infrastructure, which weaponize winter to inflict suffering, amount to war crimes, a UN inquiry has found.

Ding ding fucking ding.

Well played

Today is Ukraine's Day of Writing and Language, and Russia is still restricting it. On 15 December 2025, it dropped Ukrainian from the school programs it imposes on occupied territories. Our updated timeline: euromaidanpress.com/2026/10/26/a...

Trump spent a year pressuring Brazil to protect Lula's coup-plotting rival. On Sunday Lula won a fourth term, and his victory speech had one line Trump won't enjoy: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-foug...

Tennessee deserves so much better than Blackburn 🗳️ 🗳️ 🗳️

O, I like this so much namely because chain link fencing lends anywhere it’s installed a mood of hostility. Unlike birds taking to flight…

Keep up the good work, i.e., *not* showing up for this fascist, Mississippi 🗳️ 🇺🇸 🙌🏼

The NYT story does not even include the word rape. Not once.

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.

Homepage of the @miamiherald.com with story by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social that mentions rape in the first paragraph. See, it's not so fucking hard. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

Julie K. Brown at the Miami Herald is still doing the heavy lifting on keeping the story alive. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

We warned President Trump and the MAGA Congress against passing the Big Betrayal Bill, knowing it would hurt hospitals in every part of our state. A new report shows Washington's hospitals will lose $6 billion due to their Medicaid cuts. That is devastating to our healthcare system.

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.

You deserve a plan! Before Election Day, decide whether you'll vote early, by mail, or in person and set a reminder. Make your plan, know your options, and be ready to vote! Visit VOTE411.org to learn more about voting options in your state.

Too many American Jewish organizations will not call out the blatant antisemitism of a non-Jewish president saying that Jews are being "disloyal" if they vote for Abdul El-Sayed. I am so grateful we have this organization that will.

Not sure what it means, if anything — but we continue to watch the acquisitions channels daily.

October is nearly over, and for the first time in nearly two years, ICE's contracting activity appears to be at a record low. The agency has mostly renewed a few options here and there, and awarded a few "urgent" contracts — but we aren't seeing the massive activity that has defined the past year.

Elizabeth Holmes is not the face of motherhood for incarcerated women. Jazmin Valentine wailed in agony for 6 hours in labor while staff and nurses LAUGHED at her. She had to resort to sliding her amniotic sac under her cell door to prove she was in labor.

It resonates & maybe there’s some gratitude percolating there — for the cows, chickens, turkeys, fish…

Sounds like some serious paces in places over there 🍲 💃🏻

Excellent new site listing out myths and facts about the three statewide MAGA initiatives to roll back trans rights and repeal the millionaires tax. Vote NO on all three!

There are English majors among us.

🇧🇷 #Brazil's President Luiz Inacio #Lula da Silva won an unprecedented fourth term on Sunday, the country's electoral court said. The shock result defied polls to put the brakes on a wave of right-wing election victories across #LatinAmerica. Watch to learn more ⤵️

Meanwhile, pro-democracy, pro-Europe protesters in Tbilisi, Georgia, are tonight nearing their 700th consecutive day of protest against the pro-Russian government. They haven't missed a single day in the last 23 months.

exchange between a right wing Brazilian congressman and a left wing congressman is pretty brutal for the former

“Oi, girl, did you call me?” ✨

Flávio Bolsonaro just lost in Brazil. Viktor Orban lost in Hungary. On Tuesday Benjamin Netanyahu will lose in Israel. Come next Tuesday we will win the midterms and take first step to destroying MAGA and putting Trump in prison! (That must be our goal)

Congrats to the people of Serbia! Freedom is never given; it’s fought for, defended, and won through the courage and determination of ordinary people who refuse to be silenced. May this be a new chapter of democracy, justice, and accountability in your country. 🎉💪

#tdih 1868 St. Bernard Parish (La.) white supremacist Reconstruction era massacre 💔 of African Americans to terrorize recently emancipated voters. Not in most textbooks.

Obrigado, povo brasileiro! 📸 Ricardo Stuckert

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who spared a thought for my country today, who amplified information about the coup d’état attempt, and worried about Brazil’s democratic future—the world’s democratic future. We won! Women won! The Amazon won! Young people won! Democracy won! Hope won!

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

HTH! HAND!

Thirty years ago I was on a high-volume high-aggro mailing list, and when someone lost it like this the tradition was for someone to take the text of the message, alphabetize it, paste it into a reply, and say “these words didn’t appear to be in any particular order so I alphabetized them for you”

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.

Attention to this, California

Great happiness! (Duncan, Act 1 - Scene 2)

The greatest orator of our age. It’s like the Lincoln-Douglas debates if Lincoln debated himself and talked mostly about asses.
