Human Rights: The fundamental rights that humans have by the fact of being human, and that are neither created nor can be abrogated by any government 🇻🇪🇺🇸

Kari Lake is probably going through the five stages of Republican grief: denial, denial, denial, pooping on Pelosi's floor, and denial

NEW: Facebook sent a memo to its fact-checkers this afternoon telling them if Trump announces he's running for president tonight they can no longer fact-check anything he says.

According to Elon Musk, "Twitter feels increasingly alive." It's true. Kind of like right after you cut off a chicken's head! 🐔

The good news out of Arizona continues tonight — Prop 308 will PASS! This is a historic victory for Dreamers seeking a higher education, opening new doors to opportunity for many Arizonans.

Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs has been elected governor of Arizona, defeating Republican Kari Lake, a former TV news anchor who backed Donald Trump’s election lies. Hobbs will succeed Republican Gov. Doug Ducey, who was term-limited. https://t.co/udSotn3Xec

UPDATE: The Texas teacher has been fired after videos of him telling his racially diverse class that he is “racist” and “ethnocentric” went viral on social media.

This is horrifying. The Iranian parliament votes overwhelmingly (227-63) to execute the 15,000 protesters they already arrested.

These were peaceful protestors simply seeking the right to basic justice and autonomy. Unacceptable and barbaric.

BREAKING: Voters in Michigan just voted to make abortion a right protected by their state constitution.

Abortion is our right — and safe, legal abortion care is here to stay in Michigan.

1. Tomorrow is Election Day and INFLATION has emerged as a dominant issue.

But voters aren't getting the full story on what's driving inflation from major media outlets

A major factor is being mostly ignored.

Arizona has been the epicenter of election disinformation since 2020 — and it's affecting the midterms

In a state with a slate of GOP candidates who have questioned results, officials like @billgatesaz are trying to get ahead of the conspiracies.

@elizlanders reports.

[ACLU @ACLU]

State supreme courts are at the forefront of the fight for abortion rights — and the judges on these courts are often elected by the people.

Abortion rights are on the ballot this election, and we will vote like it. https://t.co/ZB85y65fmz

Dear @SpeakerPelosi,

I owe you & your family an apology. I was once a member of the GOP that hated you & said bad things about you. Now as an Independent I see that my personal attacks on you in the past were wrong and insensitive. The GOP does this, I'm sorry I took place in it

I talked this morning about Elon Musk, his Paul Pelosi conspiracy theory, and how you lose a democracy in the age of the internet.

[Ruben Gallego @RubenGallego]

Let’s be clear @GeneralBrnovich let the election denier conspiracy grow under his watch. He was part of the problem, he only is talking tough now because he lost the Republican primary and wants to save his reputation.

[D. Russo (He/Him) @DRusso97]

But if leftists so much as *protest* within several hundred feet of a SCOTUS Justice who helped rob 51% of Americans of their bodily autonomy, the White Nationalist Media apparatus loses their collective minds....

When multi-billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

BREAKING: Shell has reported profits of $9.5B for Q3 2022 compared to $4.1B for Q3 2021.

It isn't inflation.
It's not a labor shortage.
This is 100% corporate greed.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Why are Dems so reluctant to blame inflation on one of its major causes — corporations raising prices faster than their costs in order to fatten their profit margins?

If they want to win this November, they must hone in on corporate greed and underscore their plan to fight it.

[Tim Wise @timjacobwise]

Herschel Walker embodies several of the worst right-wing stereotypes of Black men, but right-wingers still prefer him to Raphael Warnock who comes out of the Black prophetic and movement tradition, because they're actually more repulsed by THAT than the stereotypes. Fascinating.
