This is a landslide. The last NYC mayoral candidate to clear 1 million votes was John Lindsay—over 50 years ago. It will be dismissed by pundits saying it can only happen in New York. That's garbage. Think pledging to freeze rent and offer childcare won't resonate in Nevada? Wisconsin? Texas?

Sobering news for a lot of top Democrats, tonight, as they realize people would prefer they actually fucking do something.

JD Vance's half-brother has lost by an overwhelming margin as he tried to become the mayor of Cincinnati.

Democratic incumbent Aftab Pureval wins reelection.

Study: 14 million lives could be lost due to Trump aid cuts A new study looks at lives saved by USAID in the past and what the future without the agency will look like.

As we're remembering that Dick Cheney killed a million Iraqis, remember that the death toll from cutting USAID funding will be still larger than that.

For years people made fun of big tech for inventing things that already exist and they responded with their magnum opus: inventing fascism. Incredible work

This is clown behavior from @repdexteror.bsky.social. An elected official gentling scolding other elected officials to “lead” on difficult issues without having the conviction (or, in her framing, COURAGE) to actually say what they think the correct policies ARE. www.oregonlive.com/opinion/2025...

Good. Seriously. Please let Trump pick every SEC coach. Let him make every decision for the entire conference. The only way we'll ever break Trump fever in that part of America is to let him get involved with their college football decisions because they care deeply about that shit

Ep. 18: September to Remember October 6 • S1 E18 • 44 min Also, we proposed a idea how to do a end run on vote by mail. Concept is based on what Trump proposed. When you vote, you check everyone's citizenship as well as voter ID. In a vote by mail state, you might be able to check citizenship during voter registration. You can send copies of your passport and your birth certificate in. How in the world are you going to check our voters? Voter ID, right? Vote by mail. So that creates a problem for Oregon. But if federal government new requirement is to check both, and if Oregon can comply with the requirements, what would happen to our election result? I'm talking about the entire federal delegation. For federal elections, we're talking about only federal elections. COMMON SENSE Vascluar

Ep. 18: September to Remember October 6 • S1 E18 • 44 min So entire federal delegation, congressmen and senators could be challenged, could be unseated because you didn't follow federal requirements to elect them. So I said the trade-off is worth it. You know why? Democrats control two Senate seats out of six congressional seats. We only control one. They control five. You talk about trade-off, right? COMMON SENSE Sanctuany

Two big GOP activists from Oregon were in DC last month for meetings with Trump admin officials. On their podcast they talk about a plan they discussed to nullify the results of Oregon's 2026 federal elections. Pass federal voter ID law, then refuse to seat OR delegation because OR didn't comply.

Yes. It’s called Mardi Gras.

We don’t need to come up with anything new. It’s called Mardi Gras and it’s nothing but wandering around and saying hi to people for days.

I love kids. I have two of them. They’re amazing. However, kids are the absolute least self aware, clumsiest little puffins on the planet.

Please don’t drive tonight unless you have to, and if you do drive, drive super slow and pay 100% attention at all times.

Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻 💀

I don't like things that bump up against "i told you so" but i dunno why there wasn't more initial skepticism when the whole "im going to run government like a business but like a totally progressive business" was just a giant red flag from day one

I see ai has hit Pinterest in a big way.

This is a real thing that a judge had to say to the Chief of US Customs and Border Protection.

i just need people to know it's not hypocrisy when Devout Christian Mike Johnson cuts off SNAP benefits. it's not a lack of "christian charity" to make kids starve; it's because the christian right wants to control who gets food, through churches, so they can deny queers and sluts at will

Somehow a still cooler looking and more practical vehicle than the cybertruck.

Green Room matches the general vibe of the country right now.

My great aunt lived in the deep north woods of Minnesota. I have visceral memories of turning on the overhead lightbulb with a chain in the old bunk house out back that was just filled floor to ceiling with National Geographics from the 60s and books like Clan of the Cave Bear.

In a Portland under presidential provocation, civic pride makes a comeback With national headlines celebrating the city's exportable brand of 'tactical whimsy,' Portland is shaking off its post-pandemic doldrums.

The author of this article continuously attacked the teacher’s union during their strike.

FWIW, most of the city had tons of city pride while right wing PACs, politicians, and media outlets were trying to get us to hate Portland so rich people could get tax cuts.

Read this piece about the links between the crypto “industry” and Trump immediately after, and thought it was a perfect pairing. Also a gift link.

it's so odd to me to see people go to bat for a political newcomer like platner. it's not like he's spent years earning our trust. we have very, very few data points about this dude, and one of those data points is "he has a nazi tattoo."

I only recently got into audiobooks (two small children means my best chance at reading is listening while doing chores) but it’s been really great to appreciate and get excited by masters of the craft. I hope there are folks in the industry that refuse to displace talent with star power or slop.

worth reiterating again that “the executive can raise and spend money however he likes” has been anathema even under monarchies for centuries

we’re not rolling back anything in US history here, we’re rolling back the English Civil War

Safe parking lot for unhoused schoolchildren appears to have new lease on life San Diego leaders move forward with a plan to help homeless students and their families with secure overnight parking at a former school in City Heights.

Wild how normalized the words "safe parking lot for unhoused schoolchildren" have become in this country.
