One of those gender experts you’re hearing about. They destroyed my work because it was essential. Survivor of gun violence and breast cancer. Planning on surviving this dark time, too. Slow trail runner, into women’s soccer #protecttranskids

Really pissed at Alamance County NC. My kid has tried to register to vote twice and twice they came back saying the SSN was invalid. They changed their name but have the same SSN, so I don’t know what’s up. There should be a voter hotline specific to college kids with all the nonsense rn

Apparently, some Houston voters are putting their I Voted stickers on the Lorenzo Salgado Araujo memorial. Stephen Miller is ALREADY trying to scapegoat others for losing whatever races they lose in Texas and elsewhere. This is a vivid testament that for some voters, his murder squad is the reason.

Houston: Hundreds of Texans leaving their "I voted" stickers at the site where Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot by ICE

Today marks the deadliest mass shooting in Maine’s history. In 2023, a gunman armed with a Ruger AR-10 rifle and high-capacity magazines opened fire in a bowling alley and a bar in Lewiston. Eighteen people were killed, including four deaf people, and 13 others were wounded.

They somehow tracked Acton’s birth mom down, found her living in a car with her cats, in a church parking lot, and took her to a video shoot to make vague accusations about her daughter, who she hadn’t seen in 40+ years, being a liar. Borders on elder abuse.

Progressive NIMBYs are quite something. We are discussing the mayoral race on our block’s email list, and one woman up the block from me isn’t disputing the housing shortages or the fact that our town hasn’t added housing, but doesn’t want incentives to developers.

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

How Trump Gave the Worst Polluters a Free Pass (Gift Article)

The president temporarily waived clean-air rules for industrial facilities that spew cancer-causing gases. Then his appointees worked to gut the regulations altogether.

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.

Major news this morning. Louise Lucas, a chief antagonist of Trump and Virginia Republicans (and one of the most vocal proponents of gerrymandering the state earlier this year) is criminally charged by the feds over her marijuana business:

The 82-year-old surrendered to authorities to face charges Thursday, the Justice Department said. She was charged along with a half-dozen others.
