In the last week, on this app, I’ve seen: A man call the son-in-law who murdered his daughter, his 6 grandkids, their 3 dogs, and their 2 cats before killing himself “a good father and a good husband.” A man go about his very public business as usual as news of his colleague son-in-law beating his daughter came out. Men calling for women to obey their husbands. Men saying women shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Men saying divorce should be more difficult to get. Men asking why they should care when women are abused. Men seeing nothing wrong with the “sex in exchange for protection” extortion/coercion in Handmaid’s Tale season 4, calling it a simple barter system. Men saying women shouldn’t be allowed to call men misogynists when misandry exists. And men still being mad and confused that women choose the bear. Men: FUCKING DO BETTER.

Remove private insurance companies, reallocate wage taxes towards healthcare spending, make hospitals AND pharmaceuticals NOT profitable. We pay taxes to be protected, represented, and cared for. Why would healthcare not be apart of that, like it is in SEVERAL other countries?

Imagine spending $158 million to push Ken Paxton on Texas; while never posting once about Paxton’s positive virtues or policies. Guess you call this Talarico Derangement Syndrome.

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party.  We are better than this. We have a responsibility to show it. Today we endorse Democrat Amy Acton for governor." cleveland.com/open/2026/10/w…

Orbán gone. The Bolsonaros gone. Vucic gone. Netanyahu so desperate to avoid facing the criminal courts of his country if he loses the upcoming election that he's trying to incite a nuclear war. Americans can do their part to stem the toxic tide of global fascism on November 3.
BREAKING: Putin just lost another ally in Europe, and people are celebrating in the streets. Aleksandar Vucic, Serbia’s authoritarian leader and close ally of Trump and Putin, has officially conceded defeat in a historic snap parliamentary election. The student-led opposition movement has won, ending more than a decade of Vucic’s grip on power. Voter turnout reached nearly 70%, the highest since the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1992.

Meet Richard Channing “Chan” Shealy, a prominent South Carolina worship pastor and Christian musician who used his religious platform to hide a horrific reality. Note that he is not trans or an immigrant...just another white Christian southern man. For years, Shealy led congregations in praise at local churches and spoke to youth groups, cultivating an image of a trusted faith leader. State and federal prosecutors have completely shattered that facade, leveling dozens of catastrophic charges against him involving the severe sexual abuse of young children and the production of explicit material. The horror began unraveling on March 26, 2026, when Shealy was hit with an initial 13 state felony counts for child sexual exploitation. Following the arrest, his wife, Elizabeth “Beth” Shealy—the sitting Vice Chair of the Lexington One School Board—resigned from her position on March 29, 2026. Rather than denouncing the horrific allegations, local reporting noted her social media response framed the child sex crimes as merely acts orchestrated by “Satan,” initially continuing to tag and support him online. The factual allegations detail a dark history spanning more than two decades. On May 1, 2026, state prosecutors added 20 more counts, including first-degree criminal sexual conduct and lewd acts upon a child. The official warrants allege that the former minister's physical abuse targeted victims as young as 5 to 8 years old, with offenses dating back to a period between 2004 and 2006. The nightmare deepened in October 2026 when a federal grand jury indicted the former worship leader on nine federal counts. Federal investigators tracked his digital footprint, accusing him of using peer-to-peer networks to distribute horrific imagery to an undercover agent in February 2026, with digital evidence of explicit production tying directly back to the exact timeframe of his initial pastoral-era offenses from 2004 to 2006. Now stripped of his freedom and held without bond in a detention center, the former minister faces a dual-track prosecution from state and federal authorities. If convicted, the mountain of evidence and severity of the charges could put the 54-year-old former pastor behind bars for the rest of his natural life.

Two things can be true. Trump is who he is, and @billmaher, once again, had this coming. This is why you NEVER sit down with this monster in private. This is why you NEVER normalize this monster. Hey, Bill, tell me again how nice he was at dinner. And when is your next private dinner with the monster?

Many such cases
Who hasn't propositioned someone for a three way? Meet MAGAt Michelle Ugenti-Rita @MichelleUgenti, a ultra-conservative candidate for the Scottsdale City Council in the general election who has spent over a decade writing laws for Arizona before falling into her own web of scandal. An endorsement by failed MAGAt actor @RobSchneider is sure to fuel her candidacy. Serving in both the state House and Senate until 2023, she fiercely championed hardline conservative policies and election restrictions. But while pushing a platform of law, order, and traditional family values, court records revealed she was allegedly engaging in the exact opposite behind closed doors. The former state senator faced disturbing accusations of sexual harassment stemming from a 2016 incident involving a Capitol lobbyist. According to court depositions, a female lobbyist testified under oath that Ugenti-Rita and her now-husband repeatedly pressured her into a three-way sexual encounter. The lobbyist reported being subjected to unwanted explicit photographs, targeted suggestive comments, and an intense misuse of political power that left her fearing for her career. Though a 2018 legislative probe technically cleared Ugenti-Rita by claiming her husband sent the explicit media alone, the victim publicly blasted the report as a whitewash. The lobbyist stood firmly by her claims that Ugenti-Rita was an active participant in the harassment, detailing a subsequent face-to-face confrontation where the politician reportedly threatened to expose her identity. Ugenti-Rita's political career later stalled out with failed primary bids for Secretary of State and County Supervisor, leaving behind a legacy completely overshadowed by allegations of gross misconduct.

Here's why Brazil’s Supreme Court extended voting today. In 2023, the Court ruled in ADPF 1.013 that cities must provide free public transit on Election Day. Today, buses went missing in Salvador, São Paulo, and Feira de Santana. All three mayors endorsed Flávio Bolsonaro. In Salvador, judges found buses parked in the garage on city orders and ordered the transit secretary arrested. So Justice Zanin enforced the Court’s own ruling: two extra hours for the voters those cities left stranded. It's alleged that Bolsonaro loyalists grounding public transit to suppress the vote violated a Supreme Court order, which is the actual scandal today. Not that the Supreme Court granted the requests of BOTH candidates to extended voting so that voters would not be disenfranchised. But it's telling that MAGA thinks that latter is the scandal.

Truly amazing that she is posting "I can't show you my Early Voting breakdown because I'm completely audience captured and would be called a 'blackpiller' or a 'doomer' if I said I think Dems got the upper hand here." These grifters are here to entertain, not inform.

This is exactly what scares the hell out of me about the midterms. I genuinely believe they’re going to challenge every election they lose, drag everything through the courts, incite another hillbilly insurrection, and create as much chaos as possible. And I’d love to know what the fuck DOGE did with everyone’s data. I’m so fucking tired of watching the rules get bent and broken while everyone acts like this is normal.
Trump gave Elon the power. He gave him the power under the guise of doge to steal our data with a back door to Russia the minute they did it. They are now in full operation with their coup and I don’t know how we’re gonna get out of this because they’re already implementing it. They will challenge every election that a democrat wins, which means they won’t certify anybody. It will be in court for months.

Congratulations to Serbia and @studentblokade. Kicking out the Russian puppet & using democracy in the way it needs to be used, for freedom and self governance. Well done. Putins friends are going to be tossed out on their asses; and I can only hope that next Tuesday that same anti corruption message is served with a blue tidal wave.
