REMINDER: while 42 million people have been plunged into hunger, please do not forget that we are on the eve of the mass nullification of marriages and the bastardization of children when the Supreme Court overturns gay marriage on Friday.

God help us all.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "A roaring 20s Great Gatsby Halloween Party where he's posting this hours before 42 million people will not have new money for food during the holidays... There's a reason people are putting Marie Antoinette memes up of Trump. Because that's how this feels."

NBC's new poll say the most important issue for deciding who to support for Congress is: "Protecting constitutional rights/protecting democracy."

On the other site, an 18-year-old Zohran canvasser described the legendary Wallace Shawn as "the actor who plays Dr. Sturgis on Young Sheldon" which is honestly adorable

Unless you’ve been on SNAP or had to be a cashier in a grocery store while someone discovers the insane restrictions placed on SNAP food choices, I simply think you should shut the hell up about food access.

When platforms are forced to block “anything that might harm kids,” the result is overreach. A real rights-respecting solution to keeping people safe online is one that's built on user control, privacy, and smart design, not censorship. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Blocking Access to Harmful Content Will Not Protect Children Online,

The UK is having a moment. In late July, new rules took effect that require all online services available in the UK to assess whether they host content considered harmful to children, and if so,

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.

I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

Many of the propagandists of Autocracy, Inc., have learned from the mistakes of the twentieth century. They don’t offer their fellow citizens a vision of utopia, and they don’t inspire them to build a better world. Instead, they teach people to be cynical and passive, because there is no better world to build. Their goal is to persuade people to mind their own business, stay out of politics, and never hope for a democratic alternative: Our state may be corrupt, but everyone else is corrupt too. You may not like our leader, but the others are worse. You may not like our society, but at least we are strong and the democratic world is weak, degenerate, divided, dying.

I hope this is the start of something big for Democrats‼️

NEW: Barack Obama personally called Zohran Mamdani, the front-runner for NYC mayor, to praise his campaign and offer to be a “sounding board.”

Democrats, take notes…

Obamas speech was good and as usual way better than 99% of politicians but the “distraction” thing is once again mainstream Dems not coming to terms with what they are up against.

The “distraction” is a part of the thing, not separate from it. It’s all part of the fight.

So... 60 Minutes is interviewing Trump again. You know, the same guy who called them fake news, sued them, and threatened to shut them down… But now CBS is owned by Paramount, and Paramount is run by his Ellison friends. Welcome to having state sponsored media. #cbs #60minutes #donaldtrump
