Vote to spite your red state. If enough of you do that, then maybe it won't be so fucked.

So something about me: I am neurodivergent and obsessed with maps, as well as Allied strategic planning in the Western front of WWII. For example this is the screensaver on my computer.

As an Indian, itโ€™s amazing to see @UPI_NPCI highlighted in tech! ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ @georg_kreuzmayr connects Indiaโ€™s 10,000x growth in UPI transactions with the need for databases like @TigerBeetleDB, built for fast, reliable financial transactions. @P99CONF @ScyllaDB #P99CONF #ScyllaDB

I am calling it now. Donald Trump and Hegseth will be hounded to their graves by the ghost of Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Exclusive: The historical significance of floor globes used by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower during World War II was attractive to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, people said. While moving to his office, staff lost control of the artifact and dropped it. wapo.st/4jvUdSg

This is disinhibition in a nutshell. He had several of these outbursts today. Eventually he will hit somebody on camera. Mark my words. Disinhibition is the most common symptom of behavioral frontotemporal dementia.

Neil Bush, brother of one President Bush & son of another President Bush, just posted that he voted for @JamesTalarico. Neil still lives in the same neighborhood as father did for decades here in Houston.

The GOP is poised to lose *badly*. Right now they have the majority by 53-47 in the Senate. It currently looks like the vote will swing 6 in the Dem direction! But remember folks, popular polls are not votes. GOTV! cc: @magi_jay electoral-vote.com/

The House looks closer due to all the shanigans with gerrymandering but the Democrats are still poised to clear 220 votes to seal a majority. 270towin.com/2026-house-elecโ€ฆ

The mother of the Oregon gunman said her son was โ€œa good boyโ€ and sheโ€™d seen no signs he was violent: โ€œIf I could have prevented this, I would have.โ€ Police just confirmed she gave her 16-year-old the gun he used to kill four people as a birthday present. nytimes.com/2026/10/16/us/beโ€ฆ

Nobody should have to convince you to vote and who to vote for. You are living in the results of the 2024 election. If you can't make the connection between politics and your/our livelihood, something is wrong with you.

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine, hampering the country's defenses during a devastating Russian attack; and Trump waived sanctions on Russia that Congress, led by his late friend Lindsey Graham, had pushed for. Now, Putin has proposed a summit with Trump and Xi to decide Ukraineโ€™s fate for them, bulldoze a century of international cooperation, and frame Russia as an equal to the U.S. and China. Weโ€™ll see if Putinโ€™s puppet continues to dance on his strings.

I have never been exposed to more stomach turning stories about sexual abuse in my almost 7 decades, than since Trump came on the national stage. And they all seem to be his friends. Every single one without exception.
The man standing next to Donald Trump is Mike Caruso, currently on trial for urinating in his 3 year old grandson's mouth.

I typically hate counterfactuals but I can't help but keep thinking I wish we could have had 8 years of Hillary Clinton + at least two regime decapitations (Assad; Putin). The world would be better.

I'm not in the "NGO orbit." I've never been paid for my activism. I have no master to serve, except my integrity. It's not nuts to oppose illiberalism. Hope this helps...
Jennifer Welch asks Hasan why Neera Tanden, Shannon Watts, and Jonathan Chait are so obsessed with him "She's like so obsessed..those two, why are they so obsessed with you?..but donate to those girls that are obsessed with you? Do they not realize that they end up looking like nuts? Every time I get on Twitter, it's those two..just don't f'in watch the stream..I don't watch Tucker Carlson" "I want to get into the psychology of what's going on with Jonathan Chait, why is he so obsessed with you?"
