World’s slowest novel writing. Pioneered the “leftist post-apocalypse” genre. Particular to politics served with a wry chaser. @threadandstone@mstdn.party

I've already seen some effort to bury this as "there's not a lot new here." As if, "What's one more rape victim?" is sound editorial judgment. Republicans kept the Benghazi story going for years on nothing new, but that didn't stop to press from covering every nothing burger they served up.

I asked UNH's archivist to create a file of letters protesting the "weeding" of 30% of the library's books. Future researchers need to know faculty did not let the books "go gentle into that good night" (30+ books on Dylan Thomas to be culled). 🗃️ #skystorians www.unionleader.com/opinion/op-e...

Since I regularly piss off YIMBYs, I want to make sure its clear that I completely agree with @maxdubler.com. I don't believe in so-called "inclusionary" zoning. Directly provision housing and have standardized, simple rules for private development. You have to keep focus on the big picture.
Boston’s chief planner is a true believer in the San Francisco model, in which you make it impossible to profitably build apartments by-right so developers are forced into a politicized discretionary negotiation with the city, which relaxes the rules in exchange for below-market units.

A better link, as it is from the authors: "Individuals with the most negative views of women and gender equality are the most likely to support [transgender sports] bans."

Oh great an article about how to stay healthy when traveling… with zero mentions of wearing a mask. Public health is a joke.

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

Democratic leaders knew for decades what the Federalist Society was doing, and about the numerous student radicalization groups like TPUSA. They knew that far-right investors were propping up people like Limbaugh and Hannity. And ignored the pleas of @hartmannreport.com to do something.

Woah - boards of service in the Marines and the Navy are ignoring Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth's order to purge transgender troops from the military. "Navy and Marine Corps boards have voted to retain trans members in nine of 12 cases." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Political appointees at the Department of Homeland Security wanted CISA, an agency that protects election systems, to acquire and hack a voting machine, which shocked staffers. “This goes against everything CISA represents,” a former official said.

You can't beat fascism by agreeing with fascism. You can't beat fascists by accepting a fascist frame. Corporatist Democratic Party leadership needs to be defeated and jettisoned. We have to fight them, not because we don't want to fight Republicans, but because they refuse to.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC - @electdemocrats.bsky.social) is running anti-trans ads now, so I don't know how you can say the party itself isn't embracing transphobia. There are still some good Dems out there, but transphobia is apparently a party value.

As Texas’ top legal official, Ken Paxton has defended some of the country’s most restrictive abortion laws — under which several pregnant women died because they couldn’t get the care they needed. He could soon join federal anti-abortion efforts.

We should incessantly remind people of our own revolutionary history, that when soldiers shot people during the Boston Massacre, they were prosecuted locally with no sovereign immunity invoked to protect them from homicide charges. bsky.app/profile/nath...
On 250th anniversary of US Revolution, we need to talk incessantly about Boston Massacre. Where 200 colonists threw ice, sticks & stones at the King's soldiers who then killed colonists The soldiers had no immunity, but were tried under Boston province law. /1 www.battlefields.org/learn/articl....

Jeff Bezos' paper misrepresents Alaska's voting system to hide Trump's totally demented lawsuit www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec... It never mentions its ranked-choice voting system, which makes it almost impossible that mistaken Dan Sullivan votes will decide the election.

Gee if only you guys had acted as if this shit were abnormal earlier, people might be paying attention to it now.
Overall, we are seeing some very odd deal talks that are supposedly a part of ending the war in Ukraine. But in fact evidence shows these deals are structured (in the most recent case secretly until now) to financially benefit Russia or business partners of the Trump and Witkoff families.
