Just asking for one year extension on ACA after Democrats pulled of a massive in this past Tuesday is pathetic. Once again @schumer.senate.gov who didn't endorse Mamdani like a coward - is failing to read the moment.

The AP tracked down details of some of the people killed in President Trump's military strikes on drug smugglers he describes as narco-terrorists. They were, with one exception, not high-level criminals. One was a fisherman. One was a bus driver; another a taxi driver. apnews.com/article/trum...

Other attorneys who spoke at the presser wished to remind the public that they can visit tinyurl.com/chicagotro to report when federal immigration agents in Chicagoland potentially violate District Judge Sara Ellis' injunction order against abuse of press, protestors and religious practitioners.

People on the far right are literally citing the fact that a lot of women voted for Democrats, and instead of saying, "hmm, maybe we should try to rethink how not to alienate them," they're saying, "let's repeal their right to vote." Via @aselrod.bsky.social

This is substantively important for Americans to know about, because it includes a sworn deposition from the CBP point person about how the Trump administration directed him to use his powers, including against protestors. The Trump administration says the court should not release his testimony.

PSA from 404 Media: you can opt-out of a data broker selling your flight travel data to the government to be searched without a warrant. Here's how I did it. This is ARC, the data broker owned by major U.S. airlines like United, Delta, American, etc www.404media.co/how-to-opt-o...

In the occupied West Bank, near the town of Deir Istiya northwest of Salfit, Palestinian farmers and international activists came under gunfire from Israeli settlers as they worked to harvest olives.

Heavy Israeli artillery fire is striking areas east of Rafah and Khan Younis in Gaza.

Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge. As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people — a movement to bring a new day to our city. Tomorrow, we win it together.

horrific.

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.) www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/03/c...

All quiet on the Western Front. Visited the Portland 'war zone' this morning. A (mostly gray-haired) crowd had gathered for a "pajamas and pastries" protest.

You could build a hideous ballroom with a list of things Trump doesn’t know.

RT @haugejostein: The minimum wage in Mexico has more than doubled over the last 6 years — *without* leading to job losses or inflation. It's clearly a myth that good labour standards have to come at the expense of job creation or macroeconomic stability.

The absolutely brilliant pitch perfect troll of getting targeted by your opponent with virulent Islamophobia and then immediately releasing an ad in all Arabic.

More great work from @winwithoutwar.bsky.social and @vetsaboutface.bsky.social taskandpurpose.com/news/vet-gro...

Hey Vanguard, PLEASE create a fossil-free target date fund. People want that. They're leaving your funds because you don't have this option.

Using his powers to extract tribute from foreign countries, "donors," etc. and then using those extraconstitutional slush funds to bypass the Constitution and the rule of law. Literally the opposite of originalism and a profound threat to the continuation of constitutional democracy in this country.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

"We are African. We are New York City. And we are voters."

Republicans are serial killers. Can that be a bumper sticker?

Surging electricity demand driven by artificial intelligence is putting humanity’s climate goals out of reach, extending the life of fossil fuels and driving up emissions in the U.S. power sector.

huge kudos to Antipode for publishing bilingually. Let's see more of this in all of our journals!

early career geogs, this is a chance of a lifetime. Attending the first one of these made a huge impact on my career. May it be as fruitful for you.

When a sitting president releases a video of himself defecating on the American people, that’s not “satire.” It’s a public humiliation fantasy and an erotic performance of dominance. open.substack.com/pub/drstacey...

By providing a “protective presence” in the West Bank, international activists hope to deter unprecedented settler attacks.

Yet again, we can't afford to let LLMs become a source of epistemic grounding for society.

They just murdered another six people in the Caribbean. They didn’t even know the names of the people they just blew up. Obviously there is no evidence of drug trafficking. They could board the boats. But no. They murder people without any due process and then they celebrate their heinous acts.
