Israel’s final election results confirm that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc loses its parliamentary majority and that weeks of difficult negotiations among very different parties, from ultra-Orthodox Jewish to secular to Arab-led, lie ahead. nbcnews.com/world/middle-eas…

BREAKING: The U.S. Army announced that is now training soldiers in North Carolina to dig mass battlefield graves for American troops for the first time in decades, rehearsing how to handle mass casualties as Trump's war on Iran is near. The Army says it hasn't needed to do this on a large scale since the Korean War.

Good. There shouldn’t be a secret police force. No job should exist that’s so abominable that you have to cover your face in shame to do it.

Israel’s Joint Arab List party celebrated as exit polls projected as many as 18 parliamentary seats for the Arab-bloc. Record turnout among Arab voters is fueling optimism for their potential role in the next government prompting one former lawmaker to declare, ‘Ben-Gvir is out’.

I've uncovered why LADWP water rates are skyrocketing. LADWP's supplier said water conservation was too successful, leading water use/revenue to collapse— justifying a 40% rate hike. They asked us to save water, so we did. But we saved too much, so they're spiking our rates.
An independent, non-city-affiliated audit of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power rates has been ordered by Mayor Karen Bass, her office says. ktla.com/news/local-news/ind…

Regardless of which war criminal becomes prime minister, Palestinians living under Israeli apartheid will continue to face genocide, land theft, and erasure. We cannot accept lies, excuses, or half-measures from our leaders. We must impose a full arms embargo and sanctions until Palestine is free.

🚨Israel’s election is a contest between two Zionist camps: Netanyahu and the so-called “change bloc.” Their differences are not over killing Palestinians, apartheid, or regional domination, but over strategy, leadership, and who can best preserve Israel’s system of oppression.

Here is a complete list of the 25 speed cameras that went live today in L.A. h/t @NBCLA
Starting TODAY, the City of Los Angeles is rolling out an automated speed camera system, with 125 locations across the city designed to catch drivers going too fast. I want to discuss how they operate, the fines associated, and where exactly they’re located. Let’s get into it!

It’s deeply disrespectful to us Brazilians, who spent 20 days mobilizing across the country, standing up to Big Tech and imperialist forces, to credit our victory as a nation to an American billionaire who said absolutely nothing about our elections. Delete this shit, @Variety.

BREAKING: New Details of Rape Allegation Against Trump Beatrice Keul says Trump promised her a visa and admission to NYU, then raped her in a Plaza Hotel suite in 1993, tearing her dress and leaving her bleeding and bruised, and told her “the show must go on.” The new House Judiciary Democrats’ report says four other women also accuse him of rape or sexual assault in Epstein’s company. The White House denies it all, but five accusers and a DOJ accused of stalling is not something a president already found liable for sexual abuse gets to wave away. time.com/article/2026/10/26/… #BlueSky #MedSky #LawSky #press #Epstein #EpsteinFiles #HouseJudiciary #MeToo #Accountability

all of this makes it that much more infuriating that the Biden admin refused to lift a finger to meaningfully hold accountable Trump/his cronies for staging a literal insurrection + countless other crimes
🚨 FLÁVIO BOLSONARO’s passport has been SEIZED by the Brazilian Federal Police to prevent him from leaving Brazil while he is under INVESTIGATION for ALLEGED CRIMES.

Not only did Brazil do a much better job cracking down on and punishing their Trump after their own version of Jan 6, they refused to mimic our subsequent fuck up of putting the right wing authoritarians back in power Well done 👍 🎉
🚨 BREAKING: Lula is projected to WIN reelection as president of Brazil, defeating Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro and an ally of Donald Trump. The projection comes just ONE DAY after Reuters exposed a Trump administration effort to help return the Bolsonaro family to power. A major political upset in Brazil.

Everyone needs to know what actually happened in Serbia. Instead of students just protest against their government, the students organized themselves into a student list and ran in elections against their government—and they have just won. Dear Serbia, congratulations on your victory; you have just opened a new door in protesting. This is history

Y’all. We are literally witnessing a coup attempt going on live in Brazil. Bolsonaro is losing the election badly, so his people in state and local leadership are grounding flights, canceling public transportation going to Lula strongholds. Massive voter suppression. Supreme Court had to intervene to mandate 2hrs extra at the polls. Mixed reports on how many polling stations are respecting the ruling. Whew!

Leon Black is in the Epstein files accused of Biting little girls in their private area when he raped them.
Anyone recognize who’s sitting next to Jared Kushner? Oh that’s just Leon Black. The one who’s suing to avoid testimony after he was served a subpoena from the Oversight Committee…regarding Jeffrey Epstein. No biggie. I’m sure it’s nothing.

When you understand that under capitalism a forest has no value until it's cut down, you begin to understand the root of our ecological crises.

I’m always astonished that billionaires would rather ignore the climate crisis and prepare to live in a bunker with dvds and baked beans than devote a modicum of their bottomless wealth to saving the planet where we have fresh fruit and soft grass and blue skies.
