#HurricaneMelissa: Our emergency teams arrived in #Jamaica last weekend and are assessing the most urgent needs after the destruction. We are accessing remote areas cut off by damaged roads and severe damage to health facilities. Meinie Nicolai, MSF Medical Coordinator updates:

FYI if you missed it, DC folks ⬇️

Yeah ok, but with these fascists in power I'm definitely expecting "Too Stupid to Fail" coming.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

For all the folks not immersed in tech (and some who are,) this will be both horrifying and illuminating ⬇️

PhrenologyTech is awesome

Modern cars are collecting more data than ever, raising privacy concerns. The Mozilla Foundation says cars are the worst product category for privacy.

I would also just like to remind everyone that we ALREADY know donald trump is an adjudicated rapist

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

Oh man, I really want to read this in full.

If congressional Democrats were smart, now would be the time to start warning big corporations and other institutions that if they cave to Trump—there will be consequences in a Democratic congress.

Federal agents' use of force during Chicago deportation operations "shocks the conscience," the Trump administration's arguments "lack credibility," and a Border Patrol official lied about tear gas use, a judge ruled Thursday.

Update: In a statement to Nextgov/FCW, CISA Director of Public Affairs Marci McCarthy said that “the agency does not comment on pending litigation and the government’s filings speak for themselves.”

We know about police violence during CRM, but there was also COINTELPRO type surveillance by local dep'ts. And resistance by CORE & SNCC who confronted police abuses head-on, with sit-ins at precincts, blocking streets to protest officer abuse, & more. Join us Monday to learn more. Free class ⬇️

When you book a flight through major travel sites, a data broker owned by U.S. airlines will sell details about your flight—your name, credit card used, and where you’re flying to the government. We found out how to opt-out of ARC selling your travel data. A guide: www.404media.co/how-to-opt-o...

Federal agents in Illinois used tear gas, pepper balls & excessive force against protesters—including near a children's Halloween parade. Bellingcat verified 28 incidents appearing to violate a court order during immigration raids. www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/10...

They need to steal all the world's IP, and get all the world's money for free, to be successful at their business. They are geniuses.

This is disgraceful. No soldier should rely on charity for food. If the world’s most powerful military can’t feed its own, something’s deeply wrong. "US Army Tells Soldiers to Go to German Food Bank, Then Deletes It" www.404media.co/army-tells-s...

By this time next week, the estimated deaths due to the illegal destruction of USAID and the shuttering of its aid efforts will breach 400,000. More than 260,000 will be children. Source: www.bu.edu/sph/news/art...

just going to keep noting that all this reporting continues to be incredibly friendly to senate republicans and continues to imply that shaheen and angus king are going to ask senate democrats to cave without having received any concessions, none of which is reflected in any on the record reporting

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

ICE should be rightly called child abusers for doing stuff like this in front of children. It's bad on its own for its brutality toward adults, but they are traumatizing kids. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Generational change. The people that bought into Trickle Down economics need to step aside to allow their children to fix their mistakes before it is too late.

We should definitely use a bunch of our collective money to help a bunch of us get laid off

I thought they hated participation trophies

anyway former car dealer Moreno whose car I have seen and costs more than I will make this year is preventing my family members who are his constituents from getting health insurance next year

The Trump regime is East Winging the Goddard Space Flight Center, home to the 10,000 scientists and engineers in NASA science and engineering directorates.

The flogging will continue until morale improves. Republicans can stop this whenever they want, but they get off on hurting people, so it will continue.

The 2 sides of the ICE are criminals reality

"Both brought to you by the republican party"

The real choice Democrats face is not between a continuing resolution that allows the government to function normally or a government shutdown. Under the Trump regime, the government is not functioning normally. It is already shutting down. Democrats must not legitimize Trump's coup.

“Why, then, would Congress have thought it necessary to specifically add a provision making those noncitizens subject to mandatory detention if they are charged with certain crimes?” wrote Liman, a Trump appointee in the Southern District of New York. “The government has no answer.”

"all high profile democrats" We can dream...

It’s worth noting that the President-Elect of Ireland got twice as many votes as the right wing runner-up. The latter introduced transphobia* & US style smear tactics to an Irish presidential election, for the first time. Connolly, a Queer advocate, won by 63% to the right’s 30%. Transphobia fail.

November 13th seems like a very good date to find a local coffee shop to patronize if you haven't already. Never ever cross a picket line. Ever.

"The Democratic sweep of gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey and public service commissioner races in Georgia offers an early glimpse of what could be a sleeper issue in the 2026 midterm elections: the politics of AI infrastructure."

Why didn't your buddies a get cameo tho?

“I hope it’s dawning on people the sobriety of this moment, what’s at stake. We can de facto end Donald Trump’s presidency as we know it.” Donald Trump’s unprecedented attempt to rig the midterm elections took a massive hit on Tuesday.

on a related note, while you likely won't have heard about it here because the DC Dems apparently forgot about @dcdemocrats.bsky.social as soon as it was created, the DC Democratic Party November General Body Meeting is _tonight_ at UDC Lamond Riggs on South Dakota Ave. mailchi.mp/dcdemocratic...

These people still think trump has a plan that includes them, huh?
