@joeroganhq.bsky.social is spreading climate denial and disinformation. Let’s help get him on board saving a livable climate — spread this widely. Send it to people who listen to him. #climate

ps. 2nd grader yesterday: “Mommy! [Teacher] says not everything on the computer is telling the truth.” —> Footstomping the urgency of building media literacy skills *as-early-as-possible* to identify mis-/dis-information online 🧪🛟 [aka w/o a baseline of some semblance of skepticism, we’re cooked]

CALIFORNIA! This is BIG if true @buffywicks.bsky.social! As @scottford.bsky.social & I championed in our “Downtown Sacramento Livability Strategy,” the way Cali (and OTHER states) does liability/construction deficiencies is a HUGE barrier to building apartments!

My new piece looks at a meme that's been going viral for the last 6 years, and whether healthcare administrators are really causing healthcare costs to skyrocket in the United States. gidmk.substack.com/p/are-admini...

If Congress won't release the Epstein files, we will do our own investigation ... 2 #nmleg lawmakers outlined their "truth commission" proposal to investigate what took place at Epstein's ranch in Santa Fe County & the failure to hold people involved accountable By @thenewmexican.bsky.social

There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.

As it turns out, people did not understand what mass deportations would look like.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

In this Stanford Law School podcast with Michelle Mello, the professor of law and of health policy says the amount of chaos introduced into the federal health policy landscape is unprecedented, leaving major gaps in expertise, trust, and leadership. The states are now are rushing to fill the void.

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

“Politicians need to do better, and this case is really, really clear on that.” Harm reductionists explain a key victory, as a Supreme Court of Canada ruling affirms protection from possession arrests for people at an OD scene. @maddidellplain.bsky.social reports:

"Nitazenes were first detected in Canada’s unregulated drug supply in 2019, but local detection has increased substantially over the last six months. Pills sold as oxycodone, percocet, and hydromorphone have tested positive for nitazenes." martlet.ca/potent-synth...

Nick Fuentes says people better be careful about calling him a Nazi "because if I'm a Nazi, then there's millions of young people that are following a fucking Nazi." Um, yeah, that's exactly what we've been warning about!

1. In a major shadow docket ruling from the Supreme Court, the court has ruled against trans people's passports, giving a stay to the Trump administration. The admin has previously indicated it intend to revoke some passports if it got this ruling. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Keep telling normies about what is happening. They continue to bank on people not actually believing what is happening. But if they continue to hear about it and see videos, people truly do not like or agree with what is happening. Never let anyone forget. Remember all of the goons names and faces.

Portland! I haven't been back in a couple years and I've missed you dearly. I'm going to be in the NE for the AMERSA conference in the NE next week. Let me know if you're around - DMs open, what new food trucks I need to go to, all the things!

Heartbreaking: Under Trump's ICE terror, a 2-year-old Chicago girl was tear-gassed while walking with her mom-burning eyes, screams of 'Ouch! Mommy!' This isn't enforcement; it's state-sponsored child abuse.

Jewish colleagues I speak with regularly cite Jonathan Greenblatt as one of the most serious threats they face. They're convinced that he is committed to silencing or destroying any Jew who openly criticizes or challenges Benjamin Netanyahu and his war making. And they're correct.

something that the dems have always struggled with (for at least 15 years now) is that the public doesn't believe the GOP is actually like that, it's always a "negotiating tactic" or "just red meat for the base", even if it's literally written GOP platform stuff. anyways:

Remember all of these goons names and faces. They will not be protected by those in power for long, and absolutely should be forced to face the music when power changes. That time can’t come soon enough.

When your cause is for hope and to improve society for all, and when you bank on our collective humanity, you will win. There will always be more of us than them.

"What we see, I think, are a bunch of rich guys who have been comically out of touch with normal people for many decades, and more recently have blowtorched their brains into a smoking pile of ash on Elon Musk’s Twitter/X and in various group chats." prospect.org/2025/11/04/a...

If you want to talk about affordability, fine! Everybody loves that. But like once we’re past today I don’t want to hear lip service about “unity” or “healing,” there is just the extremely difficult work of piecing this all back together in a way that cannot be broken like this again, if possible.

If they are flipping seats in MISSISSIPPI???? That's on the same level as "waffle house is closed due to inclement weather"

Every Jew in America is an immigrant on geologic timescales. Proud immigrant politicians, standing up for immigrants? Very Jewish

As a Jew who works on stuff like human rights and international law, it is such a breath of fresh air to have one candidate willing to find a first principles, human rights-based answer on Israel and repeat it endlessly for a very, very long year, trusting that many Jews understand and agree

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

DC Conventional Wisdom Goes Down to Defeat in State after State talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/dc-co...

You know what needs to happen now? More protests. Hit them while they are trying to figure out how to spin this. Show them how pissed off we are. Keep the pressure on. These MAGA men are front-running losers who are going to tuck tail & run at the sight of millions of normies expressing their anger

Earth shaking is confirmed by local media (gift link): www.syracuse.com/politics/cny...

Wins tonite! 1. Abigail Spanberger (VA-Gov) 2. Ghazala Hashmi (VA Lt-Gov) 3. Jay Jones (VA AG) 4. Mikie Sherrill (NJ Gov) 5. Michelle Wu (Boston Mayor) 6. Zohran Mamdani (NYC Mayor) 7. Andre Dickens (Atlanta Mayor) 8. Aftab Pureval (Cincy Mayor) 9. PA Supreme Court Justices 10. Prop 50 passes in CA

Ok, one last race call for the night from a bellwether county... The Democrats have FLIPPED the Erie County, PA (Trump+1) County Executive position by 24 POINTS!

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

All HoD races have been called Dems: 64 (+13) Reps: 36 (-13) Bloodbath. Lots of senate seats looking super vulnerable for 2027

BREAKING: Democrat Johnny DuPree has flipped a Republican-held Mississippi Senate district in a special election. DuPree was previously the mayor of Hattiesburg. His win imperils the Mississippi Senate GOP's narrow supermajority. www.mississippifreepress.org/democrat-joh...

to doom is to die. the right feeds on this. live defiantly in their faces. stand on your beliefs. carry your struggle without shame and people will see themselves. stay true to your beliefs and show people a better world

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger. Gen Z women aren't playing around.

This is way closer than I’d like it to be but Charlotte appears set to unlock an absolutely massive infrastructure plan with the 1% sales tax increase with billions for public transit and roads up by just shy of 8k votes with almost all precincts in.

Democrats are now in the lead in 65 Virginia House of Delegate seats. They could seriously secure a supermajority.

They called this IMMEDIATELY as the polls closed. It wasn’t close. Very important result in the U.S. fight against Trump’s fascism. #Prop50

BREAKING: Democrats just broke the GOP supermajority in the Mississippi Senate! In a stunning victory, Democrats gained seats in court-ordered special elections and will now head to Jackson to represent and fight on behalf of their constituents.

I think the USAID cuts and anti-vaccine stuff gives Trump a higher body count, but the Bush guys internalized the idea that right wing media could insulate them from normal electoral accountability and the second Trump term is directly downstream from that.

Live your life in a way in which people will not celebrate your death.

It's impossible to overstate how much of what ICE is doing on the ground reflects this completely preposterous conflation of hostile *speech* and hostile *conduct.* The First Amendment protects—or, at least, is supposed to protect—the former up and until it's a "true threat," which none of this is.
