chris van hollen flew down to el salvador to get proof of life for his constituent kilmar garcia when the kidnappings were happening. we need fighters to lead at this critical moment. van hollen is also closer to the democratic base on his approach to foreign policy.

Not loving this journalism trend crediting Taylor for political victories when she hasn’t said anything whatsoever about much of anything this entire decade

For 18 years, corporate media effectively banned the few of us who dared to utter this lesson about Obama turning hope and change into more of the same. I am glad @corbintrent said it - and that it is finally allowed to be uttered in corporate media.

Let’s be so clear. Angie Nixon lost because establishment Democrats & the DNC systemically failed to support her campaign in meaningful ways. This was not by accident, it was extremely purposeful & they do this constantly with Black politicians who have a spine for Palestine

Aggressive reminder marginalized communities in red states are working their ASSES off to make these flips happen. Through egregious gerrymandering and all. Do not fix your mouths to bash these states tonight because YOU live somewhere else.

It’s the midterms, not a presidential election. There is no electoral college for the MIDTERMS. Your vote ABSOLUTELY matters. Get to the polls today before it’s too late, and do your research please

you guys seem to forget.. conservatives don't like early voting and they sure as hell hate mail-in ballots. They're all showing up tomorrow. So blue voters, don't you fucking dare celebrate early. Y'all better show up if you didn't vote early.

Just a shot in the dark, you wouldn't happen to be invested in any prediction markets would you?
Arizona had told inquiring teams that it wanted first-round value in return for Harrison, the former No. 4 overall pick. Arizona is now comfortable enough with whatever offer it has received to make Harrison inactive on Sunday and know he is on the verge of being dealt.

People will say it's easy to stand on business when you've got Wemby money, but Lebron has Lebron money and still did a sports betting deal with Polymarket (as did Eli Manning, Derek Jeter, Sue Bird, etc)
Victor Wembanyama was asked if he would ever sign a deal with a sports betting company: “Absolutely not. Honestly, I think it’s very sad to see some players promote it.”

Hey, so rape is actually always 100% the rapists fault. There is no level of shared responsibility. This is true. Always. Thank you for coming to my talk.

Despite the fines and mounting pressure, Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair continues to honour Palestinian children killed in Gaza. This time, it’s Lana, 12, and Bana, 8, who were killed alongside their family in an Israeli attack earlier this month.

This is how you can tell they fractured social media so we can't organize. First time I've seen this come across my TL but it should be trending and going viral...that's how important it is
Reminder: Dockworkers in France, Greece, Basque Country, Turkey, Morocco, and Italy are calling for strikes on October 30 “against war and militarization” and to protest “the genocide of the Palestinian people.” workdaymagazine.org/dockwork…
