Hundreds of thousands of people, dead because of a decision made by the world's richest man

Nick Williams 🇺🇦 I'm impressed. I really wish many more celebrities (those in any field who receive major media attention) would use their influence to highlight the importance of Ukraine's fight for democracy and independence. kyivindependent.com/angelina-jol...

THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Virginia House Dems just shattered expectations, flipping at least 12 seats blue – the largest Democratic victory since the election of 1989. We invested early and aggressively to make this victory a reality, running candidates in all 100 districts.

watching election night without dread is so cool... remember how this feels folks

Mamdani's victory seems as improbable as Andrew Cuomo's race for mayor. Disgraced & forced to resign as governor, Cuomo was apparently desperate for some form of political vindication. Unrepentant and endorsed by Trump, it is hardly surprising Cuomo lost. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

Any supporter of Trump who is still connected to reality should be embarrassed by this.

Spanberger will be a great governor. A bright future for her, VA, and God willing the rest of the country

Results include two more obscure races. Democrats won 2 Georgia state government offices (Public Service Commission) for 1st time since 1998, defeating 2 GOP incumbents. Think we may see a sweep tonight, which likely foretells midterm results. www.wjcl.com/article/geor...

Well that didn't take long. A victory against Trump and the MAGA cult. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

There are many recent metrics documenting failures of Russian military and how the war is seriously damaging RU economy. This rescued camel is comical example of the decline in RU military resources. Yes, RU is using camels and horses due to loss of military vehicles. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

It’s now official: the pro-European, centrist and liberal forces have won in the Netherlands. The definitive results confirm it – polarised extremes are shrinking. The strong result of D66 led by Rob Jetten is a powerful boost for progressive, European values.

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me. He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits… …while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

When anti-Semites claim to be fighting anti-Semitism they trivialize a very real problem and thereby deliberately make it worse. Attacking universities was always about spreading anti-Semitism, not combatting it. forward.com/fast-forward...

A year ago, I launched my book #OnFreedom in a war zone – in Kharkiv, Ukraine, 35 seconds from Russian artillery. Today, I'm launching the paperback in Portland, Oregon. Which is NOT a war zone. There is a difference in the real world between what's a war and what is not, and between truth and lies.

I have not replaced my Pocket app (which is defunct). Does anyone have a favorite alternative?

It is appalling how Jeffrey Sachs has been acting as a propagandist for Russian imperialism in recent years. Here is an excellent response to his deplorable lies by @alexanderkhara.bsky.social voxukraine.org/en/open-lett...

Howard G. Buffett, Warren Buffett’s middle son, has been a major supporter of Ukraine since Russia’s invasion. Through his eponymous Howard G. Buffett Foundation, he has committed $1 billion. 1/3

"Irony" does not begin to describe a situation in which Steve Wynn, who paid >$10 million to settle sex harassment claims & resigned from his company, donated $ to Andrew Cuomo, who resigned in disgrace after numerous, documented, sex harassment claims. www.forbes.com/sites/kylemu...

This amounts to bribery. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-b...

Finished watching Swedish series The New Force on Netflix (set in 1957). Starts slow but explores serious issues. Deplorable sexism, brutal cops, corruption, attitude of "we protect our own" serving as a wall against cleaning up the system. Series has a cynical, poignant ending. I'd give grade of B+

The economy is sputtering. The rich are thriving, while middle- and lower-income Americans “navigating a labor market that is losing momentum” are spending less... When Americans increasingly rely on credit and start “falling behind on car loans and credit card payments” economy in trouble

There is no possible democratic, constitutional interpretation of the presidency in which Donald Trump can unilaterally destroy the White House. Because he did, he sees himself as a monarch. Read about it in today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/of-kings-a...

At this point, this idea is worthy of consideration.

"Today, I quit allowing my complacency to destroy America, and I urge you to quit, too." www.thebulwark.com/p/my-last-da...

"At every step along the way, I rationalized, compartmentalized, and found excuses to stay tethered to the party, even as I grew to believe it was undermining the foundations of our constitutional republic. ... www.thebulwark.com/p/my-last-da...

Trump’s priorities: Bulldozing the White House ✅ Reopening the government ❌

Good 10-minute overview on differences (geographic, demographic, climate, etc.) between north and south FL and how state developed. As noted in video, only one major port city in north FL. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQbs...

Important (and candid) account by former GOP political operative. "MY GOAL IN QUITTING the party and writing this piece is 2-fold: first, to shed light on why someone would continue to work for an increasingly corrupt and authoritarian political party..." www.thebulwark.com/p/my-last-da...

Criticize Trump and you get indicted on bogus charges. Exactly what dictators do to their opponents. The charges against Bolton are exceptionally absurd and beyond parody since Trump was being prosecuted for stealing classified documents. www.newsweek.com/john-bolton-...

This is exactly right: it's real violence, but a performance at the same time

Extreme bigotry, a lot of violence, and Hitler. These are not the views of fringe Republicans but of GOP activists. I continue to question whether this far-right party can be reformed and returned to a form of rational conservatism. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Bari Weiss is obsessed w/"D.E.I." & "woke culture" above all else, including Trump administration's very serious efforts to destroy democracy. She sold her media company for $150 million ($10 million annual revenue) and is now editor in chief of CBS News. newrepublic.com/post/201721/...

Bari Weiss is not a reporter, has never been involved in TV news but she sold her media company (18% paid subscribers) for $150 million and is now editor in chief of CBS News. Wonder why? She's obsessed w/"D.E.I." and "woke culture" (which can mean anything). www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...

This sadly demented man doesn't realize *he* was president on Jan 6, 2021. Get him in an assisted living facility ASAP.

BREAKING: President Obama comes out in favor of Prop 50 in California. California, help protect democracy and return your ballots today!

Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense. www.newsweek.com/jb-pritzker-...

This post takes ideological purity to an extreme. Millions of people who oppose Trump, Musk, et al continue to use Twitter because it remains the largest microblogging platform. Bluesky had 38 million total users as of August 2025. Twitter has around 586 million monthly active users.

People age at different rates. Ridley Scott, at age 87, is not "acting his age." He's remarkably productive and still directing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPSl...

Corrupt and cruel. Noem shot her dog for misbehaving so I suppose that her personally taking $ from a nonprofit should not be shocking. A lot of politicians form PACs that are used to promote their political agendas but taking a large % of the $ raised is not kosher. How could this be legal??

The Commission is investigating a Hungarian spy ring in Brussels tied to Orbán’s inner circle. If true, this is not just espionage — it’s a Trojan horse at the heart of Europe.

"It turns out that free government and good government also depends on guardrails within the executive... The second-term Trump administration understands the importance of these internal guardrails, and has moved aggressively to neuter or dismantle them." www.thebulwark.com/p/the-good-f...

Republicans Rand Paul and Lisa Murkowski voted with the Democrats. John Fetterman voted against restricting Trump's war crimes. Democrats in PA must make certain that Fetterman is a one-term senator. www.cbsnews.com/news/senate-...

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..
