We’re also looking at Brazil’s election and what it can teach us about accountability after an authoritarian government leaves power. Plus: what a Democratic Congress could actually do to rein in ICE, and the latest on the Cornell rape investigation. youtube.com/live/DmxFPtN...

Some good news today: the lawyer who I was able to get for the family of this man got him released from Delaney Hall last week. Every family deserves resources to save their loved ones from human detention. Please get involved.

This might be the least surprising news of the day. Leavitt has been on Fox repeatedly since leaving the White House and Hannity has constantly joked about her having her own show. Plus, as we all know, there's a revolving door between the Trump admin and Fox News. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/05/b...

A fierce and nimble speaker, Ms. Leavitt is the second of Mr. Trump’s former press secretaries to join the cable news network.

CBS has been platforming (and hiring) terrible Republicans for years which is why they go on CBS - and why I laugh when their new management says they are left-leaning.

The irony that it seems to be the Catholic church pushing back against this dehumanization the most is not lost on me (and it really does seem like more than just a power struggle over who will operate the panopticon).

It is fucking terrifying, particularly if you know a bit of history. And it's even more terrifying because in the before times you had the religious/God panopticon that was slightly more escapable (or at least malleable) but now you have a global digital panopticon (tho men are enforcers of both).

we are watching a massive transfer of wealth during an era of massive wealth creation (however much it might be just paper money it’s powerful) — reinscribing gender during this moment is a choice about who will be a citizen for the next three hundred years.

seeing conservative men debate how to dress online is very funny. can't dress up or wear interesting casualwear bc you've made any visible interest in dress to be a sign of homosexuality. but you feel the need to dress better bc you've linked dress to respectability. a prison of your own making.

My little soap-box on this is that "social media" is a term invented to describe for-profit platforms. Fidonet and Usenet were *social* media. Discussion groups were *social* media. Facebook--and all its imitators, including Bluesky!--are advertising platforms.

If the Democrats win, they have to be ready to bring generational change. Reform the courts, eliminate the filibuster, expand the house, admit DC and Puerto Rico as states, pass a new voting rights act, and prosecute every single corrupt member of the Trump admin.

If Democrats think winning back congress this year and the presidency in 2028 is enough, they are sorely mistaken. We'll be right back where we're at in 2032 with an even more fascist and white supremacist Republican party. It's not enough to win power.

Americans have never been angrier with one another. But polarization is not the disease—it is the response to a revanchist movement seeking to roll back sixty years of social progress.
