As Hurricane Helene barrels down on West FL I have to point out that because of Florida Republicans effort to disappear climate change instead of dealing with it, many people in the path of this storm have no property insurance.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL Trump isn’t trying to win more votes—he’s planning on cheating to control the electorate. His erratic behavior is driving voters away, and he’s barely campaigning in key states. Meanwhile, Republicans have filed 115 lawsuits across 25 states and recruited

In Louisiana, doctors will no longer be able to carry a lifesaving medication w/ them during pregnancy emergencies. In Texas, the infant mortality rate is soaring. In Idaho, pregnant people drive hours just to give birth. And in Oklahoma & Georgia, women are bleeding out in

an invasion. it is called an invasion

Despite Trump's wild claims of $300 billion in US aid to Ukraine, the total at present is $58.5 billion, while Europe's total now surpasses $209 billion. kyivpost.com/post/39565

And that assumes a healthy baby. If the worst were to happen and the baby not survive, there is a 100% chance my daughter-in-law could face manslaughter charges. Because Missouri legislators, mostly GOP men, have ZERO understanding of women’s health. 6/

No mother should DIE trying to get care for a pregnancy gone horribly wrong. No mother should face prosecution for losing a baby - by miscarriage, pre-term birth, complications, or fetal death in utero. Abortion rights are about SO MUCH MORE than elective abortion. 8/

The #RNC has filed 115 lawsuits in 25 states alleging some form of voter fraud or false registration. They are laying the ground for challenging the Nov 5 election results at #SCOTUS meaning the Supreme Court could decide the election result.

Can I just step back for a second and say that it is RIDICULOUS that we live in a "democracy" where Kamala Harris is going to clearly, overwhelmingly, win the popular vote... and yet that doesn't matter in the slightest and everybody just blithely accepts that it doesn't matter.

Hezbollah is not a place. Israel is bombing the country of Lebanon. Just FYI, The New York Times.

As Hurricane Helene barrels towards Florida, the Miami Herald reminds voters that under Trump’s Project 2025, “the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration would be dismantled, doing us a grave disservice.” miamiherald.com/opinion/editor…

ASIRT has released a description of the Calgary police killing of Jon Wells, taken from body cam video. It is horrifying. Tased, punched, leg restraints, handcuffs. A spit hood put on after he had vomited and was bleeding from his mouth. #ACAB alberta.ca/release.cfm?xI…

Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency for 61 Florida counties ahead of Hurricane Helene, months after signing legislation removing climate change from state law.

🚨 Atlanta police chief compares antifascists to insects. As the Democrats slide rightward in a cynical bid to retain power this November, APD Chief Shierbaum compares stop Cop City activists (which he calls "antifa") to "mosquitos [and] chiggers."

Jenna DeSantis too busy fighting his imaginary culture wars

FYI, all roads re: Eric Adams lead to Brock Pierce and Steve Bannon. He’s been a corrupt MAGA plant since day one. 2021. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

The University of Chicago just received $100 million from an anonymous donor. Donations of that size fundamentally shift an institution’s programming and priorities, and we know that donors exert influence on campus policy. So this is—as one of my colleagues put it—basically dark

The rich and powerful should be held fully accountable for their crimes, which cause tenfold more harm to Americans than the everyday people who are preyed upon, arrested and incarcerated by the current legal system. If prisons continue to exist, then they should exist primarily

Missouri killed Marcellus Williams. Then Oklahoma killed Emmanuel Littlejohn this morning. Marcellus maintained innocence & received wide support for clemency. Emmanuel disputed his charge & the state’s pardon board recommended clemency. Both are now dead. zeteo.com/p/this-state-i…

What a warning for those in the southern Appalachains. #Helene
