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
Absolutely fascinating thread. May we find creative ways to stop the broligarchs worldwide, even with their own tools.
Genuinely I don't know that it comes across to people who haven't been here to watch how almost unbelievable this was, just people taking something that looked impossible and dragging it kicking and screaming all the way to inevitability.
It sounds like Brazil was won not just through overwhelming voter turnout, but by skillful, coordinated algorithmic guerrilla warfare. It shouldn't be this hard, but democracy can be saved from the broligarchs.
over TEN MILLION people in a single whatsapp channel!! our leader, andré janones, would give us "missions" like: the president is making a post at 7pm, everyone go like and comment. in 30 minutes, everyone google "flávio bolsonaro [something he did and tried to hide]" etc. we beat the algorythm lol
I do want to believe that M4A gets us this, but how do we ensure that single payer doesn’t restrict coverage to abortion, contraception, and gender affirming care?
The only Planned Parenthood in the UP closed in 2025. Medicare for All means access to medical care for all, in every corner of the country.
It seems like all the people calling games have a bias in favor of Spirit opponents.
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.
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.

I like Wes Moore generally, but any Dem who implies we can get visionary legislation passed and implemented in the next two years is just promoting himself and hurting Dems.
Our country has a uniquely lethal domestic violence problem. Easy access to guns is at the center of this crisis. Common-sense gun safety laws that disarm abusers can save lives.
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.

HPV vaccine means young women now have 'close to zero' risk of cervical cancer death
A new study finds that hundreds of lives have been saved since school-age girls were offered the HPV jab in 2008.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?
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.
There really is so much that’s better because of smart phones. I had a quick trip up to NY this week and had my ticket open hand, was able to take pictures of the gorgeous sunset, and knew I had time to make my train. All with a phone.

The former VP going to campaign for a fellow Dem highlights "her ambition," I see.
Kamala Harris’s presence in Mississippi highlighted not only her own ambition, but also the newfound attention from Democrats on Scott Colom, who is striving to become the first Democrat elected to the Senate from Mississippi in some four decades.
The Somali guy hopping on the school bus to save the children even as Stephen Miller wants to denaturalize and deport him is a metaphor for our time.
The State Department has yet to release the five-year Global Food Security Strategy, leaving $720 million in funding and a gutted Feed the Future without a clear guide.
Where is the US plan to fight global hunger?

Holy shit.
More than 200 complaints regarding sexual violence at schools have been filed with the Education Department since the start of Trump’s second term. The department has investigated only 29 of these, finding fault with a school district only once. www.propublica.org/article/civi...
Folks out here saying if only we knew this in 2024, while I’m recalling that we had strong suspicions of Trump receiving money from Egypt that resulted in favorable change to US policy and it was a two day story in 2024.
Jared Kushner’s Hacked Phone Revealed His Secret Negotiations—Including More Than $700 Million In Transfers
“Raising concerns”? oh come the f*** on.
The State Department has asked some foreign service officials up for promotion who they voted for in the 2016, 2020 and 2024 presidential elections, raising concerns the agency is violating a federal law that bars politicized personnel decisions within the nonpartisan ranks.
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:
Virginia State Senator L. Louise Lucas charged in public corruption case
The 82-year-old surrendered to authorities to face charges Thursday, the Justice Department said. She was charged along with a half-dozen others.

In 1980, the summer before I turned 13, I signed letters to my friend “anti-Reagan and proud” but that’s because I was born a feminist. This kid thought Trump would end war and lower prices why?
Michael Fusella supported President Trump for nearly a decade. But as the Iran war drags on and the cost of living continues to climb, the 21-year-old Republican said he feels betrayed by a president who said he’d end overseas conflicts and lower prices.
