I love James Talarico’s simple statement in response to groveling Angela Paxton’s deplorable lowlife political ad. She’s a insult to smart, honest and hardworking American women. She’s earned her place in hell. #Pinks #Voices4Victory

Mark Carney@mark-carney.bsky.social · 8h agoThe world wants to do more with Canada. Thanks to Jon Tupper in Fort McMurray for the conversation earlier this week.
Josh Turek hauled his own wheelchair up the Iowa Statehouse stairs every day just to show up and legislate. His platform bans corporate PAC money and closes billionaire tax loopholes. Send him to the Senate, and Iowa finally gets someone billionaires can’t buy. #BlueWaveIn30Days
Every single one of these stories is like this and it pisses me off to no end
Mr. Dan Zak@mrdanzak.com · 15h agoA Haitian man legally immigrated to Ohio, then was given an ankle monitor bc Trump withdrew his status. He threw himself in front of truck. The trucker, who voted for Trump, is haunted. “Pierre was doing what he was supposed to do. We did not do right by him.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
Real change begins with a single person. She took the fight for voting rights to the ballpark to inspire the next generation. We win when we all step up. Commit to talking to 5 people daily. Let’s do this together 😉 #BlueWaveIn30Days
No could possibly have predicted that Trump calling Democrats “sons of bitches” would not be on today’s front page of the NYT, & Jake Tapper would be platforming Kevin Hassett to lie with impunity on the Sunday shows. 🧐🤷♂️🤦♂️
Mark Copelovitch@mcopelov.bsky.social · yesterdayAgain, if the 🇺🇸 media covered the GOP as it actually is, & the way foreign far right authoritarian parties are covered, behavior like this would spark a wholesale change in 🇺🇸 political journalism. This? It won’t even make headlines tomorrow, & the Sunday shows will platform a dozen GOP politicians.
This is a great discussion about the most recent polling by real pros re the midterms. We forget that Trump won by a “razor thin” margin in 2024, the media has made it look historic (why?); Trump has lost the hispanic vote and… WE NEED TO TURNOUT AND VOTE. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-midterms

Lucien Lazare, Jewish fighter in the French Resistance, has died at 101. After fighting the Nazis, he was rejected by his synagogue later in life for translating an article saying “Israel, today, is nothing but a formless mass of corruption, oppression and injustice.” www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/w...

This is an incredibly rich, impressive bit of reporting, plus I learned that if I hated children I could personally open an anything-goes, unregulated school in 10 states.
ProPublica@propublica.org · yesterdayWe started our very own private school with @arktimes.bsky.social. All it took was $45, a few clicks on a state website and an American flag.
Tim Snyder is correct: If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money and tackle our corrupt system. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.
So weird to see such enthusiasm for the Republican Midterm Convention in Midtown Manhattan.

The Ellisons are doomed to fail because they’re in so much debt that they can only make mega-hits but they’re also going to insist that all of these movies be devoid of woke and play to Middle America and that’s just completely unsustainable
A federal judge said that police conducted an "unconstitutional warrantless search" by using Flock cameras to reconstruct a woman's travels without probable cause. This is one of the first judicial lines drawn in the sand regarding Flock cameras. 🧵
The people's game will always belong to the people. This summer, it belonged to the bodega owners, cab drivers, line cooks, and every New Yorker who welcomed visitors from around the world to experience the World Cup in our own backyard.

When my father was faculty at Cornell he was stopped by the police chief in the street & asked who he was & where he was going. When he balked at the fact that no one but him, an Arab man, was being asked, the chief said “I’m just protecting students” Same guy failed to investigate 7 rapists.

We take taxis all the time now (especially to and from the airport). They're cheaper and they are pros. Also, there's always literally a huge cache of cabs waiting at LAX with zero line on one side and the other is idiots waiting for some Uber guy who accepted the ride and he's still 15 mins away
