Well, given that we already knew that he took money from Harlan Crow, this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone... www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-pre...

A group of former federal prosecutors and human rights lawyers is coming together to investigate political corruption and law enforcement violence that it says is being ignored by the Trump DOJ. "The rule of law is on life support, but it's all of our responsibility to make sure it doesn't die."

The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because it’s pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.

In the wake of the Silver Rail Elementary shooting, the governor announced she's instructed several state agencies to help the schools and families in the Bend-La Pine community in several ways whether it's increased funds, fast-tracked family leave or flexing some school requirements.

Who does the ocean belong to? I asked Otto Spijkers of Leiden University to explain the law of the sea, from territorial waters and fishing rights to deep-sea resources and international disputes. We also built a glossary to make the key terms easy to follow. ⬇️🌊

I mean, it DID look rigged. Heavily. In Bolsonaro’s favor. He lost anyway.

“covert surveillance inside houses of worship… “interrogations of churches’ staff… “ICE agents hauled off a nun who was wearing her habit and walking down the sidewalk en route to Sunday Mass… “suing a Catholic diocese in New Mexico to seize 14 acres of their land…” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Was just told I couldn’t enter the Hasan Piker, Omar Fateh, Ilhan Omar event with a camera as a ticketed attendee or as press. “No press”.

Hello. Do you live in one of these states? If so, we need you.

Per Telegraph, Putin and Trump admin are discussing the “need” for NATO withdrawal back to its 1997 borders as part of the “peace plan”. That means withdrawal of NATO forces from Poland, Baltics and Finland.

We get similar emails at Bellingcat, usually from peolle who have been scammed and have asked ChatGPT for help.

President Trump is planning to open up some of the nation's last pristine forests to road building and timber companies. But those who work in the woods say it won't do enough to revive the industry.

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

Kaylub Giamanco, the man who fatally shot the teenage shooter at Silver Rail Elementary School on Oct. 15, exclusively spoke with OPB about his experience that day. This is the full interview with Giamanco, edited for clarity.

Governors don't prevent gun violence. They don't write and pass gun laws. Oregon is an open carry state with lots of law abiding gun owners. The shooter was killed by a parent. The shooter was a neonazi. That's also not a governor-size problem. A responsible news org could do something though.

The demented U.S. president, ladies & gentlemen: "He suggested that the United States should accept fewer Norwegian immigrants, saying, 'I didn’t get the Nobel Prize.'” www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/w...

The orientation I want congress to have: productive conflict is GOOD. Dems have a real credibility gap. They need to communicate clearly to the public what they are for. Hold the regime accountable and force Trumpists to oppose popular stuff. Don't muddy the message with watered down bipartisan BS.

This picture is so deceptive just showing the east and west colonnades with the ridiculous helicopter pad and not the grotesquely oversized ballroom. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I am tired of watching (and dealing with the fallout of) progressives/the center left/"liberals" across the west giving up on the idea of universal human rights and instead fighting to throw people to the fascists to save their own skin. It never works. Fight where you stand or die where you kneel.

There are some people who claim "oh, Dems in blue states will never shift towards enacting anti-trans policy" Meanwhile Colorado is literally enacting a medical detransition protocol for trans youth on medicaid.

So much for the myth that Republicans are 'good for the economy.' The only rationale for voting Republican this time around -- with Trump "on the ballot" (in his own words) -- is if you value bigotry and hate so much that you are willing to forego economic wellbeing.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un crossed a newly opened bridge connecting North Korea and China on Saturday, marking Kim's first reported visit to China in over a year. Analysts say the bridge, and the visit, suggest deepening ties between the two neighbors. Read more: https://cnn.it/3UfPU36

Come on. “Dan J. Sullivan Jr.” and “Dan S. Sullivan (Registered Republican) Incumbent” is WAY more different than Mike Duggan and Mike Dugeon. YOU HAD TIME.

Ohio’s biggest newspaper broke its own rules to endorse Amy Acton, calling Ramaswamy’s vile attack ad disqualifying. “Using childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it crosses a line Ohioans should defend, whatever their party.” thedailybeast.com/trumps-maga-...

no amnesty

you're goddamn right you guys did

Not only a vital defeat of the far right, but also a win of inestimable value for the planet.

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.

between serbia, brazil, and hopefully november 3, a good reminder: voting works it’s not the end, there’s always work to be done after the vote, but if you want to beat the motherfuckers and keep them out of power: vote your asses off

Lula Goes HARD

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!

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.

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.

lol reminder that betting markets are extremely accurate measures of conventional wisdom

We don't need federal genital ghouls policing U10 soccer.

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.

Lula won despite the bus service sabotage, because everyone voted.

(Sorting through piles that I didn’t deal with for literal decades) aha. Well wasn’t I annoyingly prescient.

Trump's DOJ told a judge how to rule. Then it pulled her from court. Karen Donoso Stevens' allegations, which she's sharing publicly because of her deep concern for the court's integrity, were corroborated by contemporaneous notes as well as colleagues, family and attorneys interviewed by WaPo.
