🚨Wow - this will be huge if it bears out. Exit polls show the pro-EU D66 party has WON the Dutch election. The far-right PVV party of Geeet Wildsrs has lost 12 seats, according to exit polls. Huge if true.

I can't get into the psyche of people who would cut off the world's best researchers from teaching their students because they happened to be born farther away from you than you are comfortable with. www.chronicle.com/article/flor...

The Justice Department has levied federal conspiracy charges against Democratic congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh and five others over protests outside the Broadview ICE facility, according to an indictment unsealed Wednesday. blockclubchi.co/3X0vgBM

oh just straight up gutter racism!

Since the Gaza ceasefire, Israel has intensified its operations against Palestinians in the West Bank, conducting military raids in the north and increasing settler attacks on Palestinians harvesting olive groves. mondoweiss.net/2025/10/isra...

After a luxury building in East New York flopped, the city is taking advantage of a new program to fill it with formerly homeless families who have hard-to-use housing vouchers. via @patrickspauster.com: citylimits.org/this-buildin...

Another great example of multi-ethnic coalitions: the Southern Tenant Farmers Union (1934-1960), founded in Tyronza, Arkansas. In 1934, there were ~8 million sharecroppers working farmland owned by a landlord. About a third were Black. So when the STFU (yes, really 😉) began organizing...

Remember that ceasefire everyone praised Trump for securing between Israel & Gaza? Netanyahu just massacred 104 Palestinian civilians, including 46 children, on the mere accusation that Hamas handed over the 'wrong' corpse HE MASSACRED 46 CHILDREN & I doubt you've heard one media outlet mention it

The only way this could have ended

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing. Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

Always thought it was sad that Ayn Rand—one of the most successful authors of children's fantasy books of all time—had little enough saved in the bank in her old age that she had to rely on public assistance until her death, but I'm glad it was there for her.

Scoop: Some NIH employees told they won't be paid during furlough after all. Earlier today, some NIH employees received emails stating that they will not be paid during the shutdown. This was an unexpected, and likely unlawful, change in federal government policy. 🧵

President Trump could have spent the past year making hundreds of millions from crypto. Instead, he selflessly let his sons make hundreds of millions from crypto, limiting his own income to bribes, media shakedowns, and a free plane. Will the press acknowledge this sacrifice? by Hugh Hewitt

I have worked with Federal employees and government officials. They would not accept a cup of coffee or a taxi ride. This gets you fired from any federal job. Waste, corruption, abuse. BTW, no apologies if I am impolitic, the she here if not a victim, she is a volunteer and nearly as guilty

Patel's girlfriend performed at Penn State last weekend. A government jet arrived at State College Regional Airport, according to its FAA registration, with an address listing the FBI HQ. The plane then flew to Nashville, where his girlfriend lives. All on the taxpayer’s dime. trib.al/TBvPo7A

Everyone follow and support Kat. @katmabu.bsky.social Think of all the people who wish more citizens had “obstructed justice” in Nazi Germany.

This is an international disaster. They targeted a disabled fishing boat in Colombian territorial waters and killed fishermen.

Lol. Bay Area police chief commuting from Idaho. ACAB

Canada:

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming. Vital reporting from @ellenbarry.bsky.social and Jason DeParle:

One of the most psychotic both-sides headlines I've ever seen

Wat

Lmao what (from today's Breaker newsletter)

"They used tear gas in a neighborhood where children were about to march in a Halloween parade" www.nytimes.com/2025/10/28/u...

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

I forgot how badly the media wanted a Biden recession. They were dying for it.

🚨 “Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the country's military to launch ‘powerful’ airstrikes on Gaza on Tuesday, imperiling the fragile U.S.-brokered ceasefire.” www.nbcnews.com/world/middle...

Cis women in anti-trans religious communities are literally fucking medically transitioning, and the NYT buries this fact 1000s of words into the article.

Police from a town of 900 in Colorado accused a woman of theft. Based on their Flock cameras they told her, "you can’t get a breath of fresh air, in or out of that place, without us knowing, correct?" and reportedly told her the exact number of times her license plate had driven through that town.

However bad you think the police surveillance state has become, it’s worse. Here a tiny police force has blanketed a tiny town in a network of cameras to track every person and vehicle that goes through. Which leads a cop to this woman’s house to lie to her to coax a false confession.

The official USDA site is blaming trans people for SNAP benefits expiring.

even more reason to reject the pay package

Imagine building an entire adult personality around "I finished fifth in a college swimming championship three years ago and I'm still furious I didn't get to be fourth. Therefore, a congresswoman must debate me." It's just a turducken of loser shit.

Who knew witnessing a murder could make you laugh

From now on, when anyone asks how we’re going to pay for it, the answer should be we’ll take it out of the teargas budget.

Love to show how smart I am by bragging about my score on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.

State Supreme Court elections are *super* important for the rest of our democracy. Don't sleep on them.

For me argentina is the easiest one because there's 40 million people on SNAP and we're giving milei 40 billion. "The president could give every hungry family a thousand dollars right now but he's giving it to argentina instead for no reason at all. He hates america"

Literal Klan members shouldn't be Supreme Court justices

They're going to change the clocks this weekend and the president is powerless to stop it. Because he's weak and a loser. That's what they're saying sir

Also, this should not need to be said, because "promote the general welfare" def means feeding people, still it's worth noting that food stamps have a huge positive economic impact overall. Every $1 spent on SNAP adds $1.54 to the economy. As is often the case, doing right is also an overall good.

Deeply racist, yes, but also deeply stupid. Rural counties have higher enrollments than urban ones. Some of the largest enrollment states are red ones like Louisiana, Oklahoma and West Virginia. Undocumented immigrants are ineligible. Most beneficiaries are required to work 80 hrs/month.

Did an apartment write this

Gee, I can’t imagine why…

might be one of the funniest videos i’ve ever seen
