Proud to stand w/ Afghan & Iranian women urging states to codify gender apartheid in the crimes against humanity treaty: endgenderapartheid.today/bri…. We can't miss this window to recognize institutionalized, systematized gender oppression for what it is: apartheid @EGAcampaign

From afar, Lula winning and Vucic losing on the same day is hard to ignore. A crystallization of a kind of global anti-nationalist wave that's as real as the steady far-right march we've all spoken and written about for the past decade. And it's cresting a week before US midterms

This piece on the massive shift of young voters back to Democrats (or against Republicans) has a quote from a 23-year-old Latino guy who voted for Trump in 2024 that captures how so many young voters feel right now: "I just don't know what I was thinking."

Startling stat — a police officer in a small Texas town handed arrested and handed over immigrants to ICE at such volume that the total number is the equivalent of 10% of his town's population.

This doesn’t excuse the Iranian government’s repressive behavior at the start of the year, or violent crackdown on protests, but it does reveal that Israel was involved, Mossad involved, and they wanted and worked for an Iranian crackdown. They’re now admitting it!
Israel admits it publicized its infiltration of Iran so the govt would arrest astronomical numbers of ppl. This is not only an admission of unlawful interference & armed attack but also of a deliberate effort to foster human rights violations in Iran ynetnews.com/article/sjkraj5…

The naysayers are getting embarrassing. Every day, people are using AI to make incredible breakthroughs and answer some of the toughest questions around, like "what do I like about my child?"

This is a coup attempt. They’re turning off traffic lights and canceling bus routes and flights and ferries on election day. The world needs to be paying attention

I’m sure everyone has already forgotten about this but the Dominican man, Oscar Belgal, shot in the neck by ICE on 10/8, and slandered by Newsweek and others as “having a criminal history,” has just been denied medical release by a fascist judge. nytimes.com/2026/10/23/nyreg…

Aida was published in the Intercept, the Nation, and Drop Site. (That report about a potential Israeli civil war everyone was sharing matches one of the dates in the indictment.) The feds described her as a mere Substacker to get this exact reaction.

It pains me to post anything that risks flattering Iranians but Persian really is just an incomparable delight in the ear and on the tongue and I think this is why elites all over a global neighborhood fell for it for centuries. Irrestible to human physiology like sugar.

Illuminating exchange with a 19 year old voter in Detroit, worried about @AbdulElSayed’s name. @AJEnglish #Midterms2026 #Michigan

If being politely and mildly confronted with one’s internalized racism, illiberalism and chauvinist delusions is “painful” then that’s a you problem. I am extremely over this genre of mopey solipsism. Grow up! Be an adult and commit to a position and defend it on its own terms!
A bit late to this ... good @speechboy71 article on the painful choices Jewish voters feel they are facing in the Michigan Senate race ms.now/opinion/abdul-el-saye…
