@meidastouch.comReposted by @mainedpcdoc.medsky.social🚨 WOW: WSJ reports Ken Paxton partied in a luxury Dubai high-rise with 2 FUGITIVES, Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail, facing fed charges over an alleged $15 MILLION hospital embezzlement scheme — alongside his gf (not his wife). Ahmed donated $190K to Paxton, including $25K AFTER his indictment.
@muellershewrote.comReposted by @mainedpcdoc.medsky.socialI love that this might be the thing that tanks Paxton, and not the biblical divorce or letting a child rapist out early.
@meidastouch.comReposted by @mainedpcdoc.medsky.socialQ: Senator Sullivan, why did you refuse to meet with Epstein survivors and then vote to confirm Blanche? Sullivan: I've done more for domestic violence supporters than anybody. 😬
@paleofuture.bsky.socialReposted by @mainedpcdoc.medsky.social"...the ECMWF ensemble is currently suggesting that water temperatures along essentially the entire California coast will average around 8-10°F above average this winter! These are, again, pretty astonishing numbers, and would blow records from 1982-83, 1997-98, and 2015-16 right out of the water."

@anneapplebaum.wsocial.euReposted by @mainedpcdoc.medsky.socialIn 1987 Trump visited Moscow. Since then, "He has changed his mind about abortion and crypto, he has supported different political parties, but his dislike of America’s democratic allies and his preference for Russia have remained remarkably consistent."

@phillipspobrien.bsky.socialReposted by @mainedpcdoc.medsky.socialLatest piece. The Ukrainian targeting of Yandex data centres has had an immediate strategic effect. It’s something we should expect to see more and more of in war--and tbh in peace these centres are a threat to democracy and might need to be neutralized.
@sethcotlar.bsky.socialReposted by @mainedpcdoc.medsky.socialAn organization whose mission is to prevent Spanish from being used on government documents in the US is celebrating the day Queen Isabella’s man, famous English speaker Christopher Columbus, landed in the Caribbean. And some people say this holiday is about framing the US as a white nation. Pshaw!

@billkristolbulwark.bsky.socialReposted by @mainedpcdoc.medsky.social“Living through a global resurgence of fascism, the difficulty has proved to be not arguing against it, but convincing non-fascists that fascism’s adherents really mean it. That they believe what they are telling us they believe—and they will act accordingly.”

@billkristolbulwark.bsky.socialReposted by @mainedpcdoc.medsky.social“In the fascist worldview the fundamental unit is the nation—the people—the true Volk. Fascists do not care about individual rights, nor are looking to raise welfare. The nation is not the state or institutions. It is a group defined by race and culture.”
@billkristolbulwark.bsky.socialReposted by @mainedpcdoc.medsky.social“Neofascism can be beaten. Its advance relies on our acquiescence. And our acquiescence comes from not having taken its measure. And the response to their delusions can’t be delusions of our own. We’re in a new reality now. And we have to face it head on.”

@thestudyofwar.bsky.socialReposted by @mainedpcdoc.medsky.social3/ Ukrainian forces delayed a Russian strike package by striking Russian ballistic missile launchers located in Russia. Ukrainian forces did not strike Russian oil refineries on October 11 to 12 due to President Trump’s energy ceasefire announcement on October 11.
@thestudyofwar.bsky.socialReposted by @mainedpcdoc.medsky.socialNEW: Russia and Ukraine have not agreed to a ceasefire against energy infrastructure as of October 12, as Russian forces continued to strike Ukrainian energy infrastructure overnight on October 11 to 12. (1/4)
