Black issues should not be bait for a fucking subscription. 😡

Any Shop Club’s ad asks people to sign a pledge and offers a “FREE” BLM keychain. Then comes the catch: “membership required.”

I’ve seen this company use Nolan’s story and they are at it again. I called the man who identified himself as the owner and asked whether the petition went to Nolan’s family. He acted confused. When I confronted him about using an 18-year-old boy’s death, he talked around the question. I finally said, “No, I know what you’re doing.” He said “whatever” and hung up.

I never got a clear answer about where those signatures go or how his family benefits. Now I’m seeing another cause used in the same kind of pitch.

I reported it to Meta. As far as I can see, the promotion is still running. Meanwhile, activists I know are losing access to their accounts.

Apparently asking for accountability is a problem, but “support this child, membership required” gets to keep circulating. That is fucked up.

Before you sign, check what you’re joining, what you’ll be charged, and who actually benefits. Caring about a family should never be used against you.

THE THREAT ISN’T COMING FROM WHERE YOU THINK:

MYTH: They are forgotten
TRUTH: A rural vote counts 3x more than yours

MYTH: They love freedom
TRUTH: No. 1 group to support authoritarianism

MYTH: It’s about jobs
TRUTH: It’s about losing cultural control

If you don’t understand White Rural Rage, you don’t understand America right now‼️

Part 3 of 3. The finale of Nithya Raman at the Downtown LA mayoral forum.

At the October 15 resident led forum at Clifton’s, hosted by the DTLA Residents Association, DTLA Proud, LARABA and SPNA, Nithya laid out how she brings downtown back:

A nightlife czar in the mayor’s office and an entertainment district with events every weekend, not once a year.
Filling vacant storefronts with a real economic development plan, because as she said, “Right now, no one in City Hall is really tasked with that work.”
The truth about the $2.6 billion Convention Center. Even as projected, she said it will take “a hundred million dollars out of our general fund for the next thirty years.” Now that it’s moving, she guarantees it gets delivered on time and on budget.
Measure ULA. She already proposed exempting new multifamily and commercial construction, because “New housing production is desperately needed.”

Her closing: “Everything about the future of Los Angeles is currently being bet on Downtown LA, but you wouldn’t know it from the lack of investment that this neighborhood is getting.”

That is the difference. Corporate Democrats keep delivering for their donors, not for us. LAist reports the money backing Karen Bass outpaced Raman’s about 3 to 1, with Airbnb giving $750,000 to a committee backing Bass and landlord giant Douglas Emmett putting $525,000 into the police union committee that ran ads against Raman.

It’s time for a new generation.

Part 2 of 3. Downtown Los Angeles asked the questions City Hall keeps dodging. Nithya Raman answered every one.

At the October 15 resident led mayoral forum at Clifton’s, hosted by the DTLA Residents Association, DTLA Proud, LARABA and SPNA, Nithya went deep on the issues downtown lives with every day:

More officers walking neighborhood beats, not just driving through.
Public safety around the Skid Row Care Campus, and holding providers accountable.
People who refuse care, and getting the county to finally show up.
Arts District infrastructure, and an end to building by building spot zoning.
Her dream: an unbroken LA River bike path from the Valley to the heart of the city.
The Rainbow District, and keeping the LGBTQ community safe.

She doesn’t speak in slogans. She speaks in results. In her district, when shelter providers missed their goals, she replaced them and got results. When the county Department of Mental Health didn’t show up, she called its leader herself. In her words: “A shelter, a treatment center should be a benefit to a community.” And: “DMH needs to show up.”

Compare that to the corporate class. LAist reports the money backing Karen Bass outpaced Raman’s about 3 to 1, with Airbnb giving $750,000 to a committee backing Bass and landlord giant Douglas Emmett putting $525,000 into the police union committee that ran ads against Raman.

Part 1 of 3. Downtown Los Angeles put Nithya Raman in the hot seat. She didn’t flinch.

At the October 15 resident led mayoral forum at Clifton’s, hosted by the DTLA Residents Association, DTLA Proud, LARABA and SPNA, residents fired off a 15 question lightning round: Is downtown safe right now? LAPD and federal agents on Skid Row drug dealers? Needle exchanges and supervised consumption sites? Encampments, police overtime, foot patrols, license plate readers, a fair share of shelters across the whole city.

She answered straight. Asked if downtown is safe enough right now, she said: “I would say no.” On working with federal authorities: “You cannot coordinate with ICE, but absolutely yes.” And when they demanded one word answers to life and death issues, she pushed back: “I believe your audience deserves better answers than yes or no to these questions.”

On Skid Row, she brought a real plan: “I will audit our homelessness spending, and I’m gonna invest money in what works.” Public toilets, cleanups, working streetlights, trash pickup. And a hard line: “Skid Row cannot be the containment zone for homelessness policy here in Los Angeles.”

On policing, she wants officers walking downtown’s residential neighborhoods, not just driving through them.

Compare that to the corporate class. LAist reports the money backing Karen Bass outpaced Raman’s about 3 to 1, with Airbnb giving $750,000 to a committee backing Bass and landlord giant Douglas Emmett putting $525,000 into the police union committee that ran ads against Raman.

Abdul El-Sayed just dropped one of the most masterful political ads of the 2026 cycle, and it dismantles Mike Rogers using nothing but his own words.

No narrator. No spin. Abdul’s team simply let the receipts speak. The ad stacks clip after clip from CNN, Morning Joe, NewsNation and Michigan’s own newspapers, each one catching Rogers on one side of an issue, then the other. And the soundtrack is a stroke of genius: Katy Perry’s “Hot n Cold.” Hot one day. Cold the next. Yes one day. No the next. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it.

The most devastating moment doesn’t even come from a Democrat. Political analyst Mark Halperin said on NewsNation that Rogers “just switched positions in the past 24 hours. A complete 180 from just two months ago.” Then came the line the whole ad builds to. “Either he was lying then or he’s lying now.”

Halperin knows Mike Rogers personally. His verdict? “That was not Mike.”

Abdul capped it off with one perfect line. “Mike Rogers doesn’t know what he’s for. Oh wait...it’s himself.”

This is what a campaign looks like when the candidate actually knows what he stands for. A doctor and former Detroit public health official, Abdul El-Sayed has been clear from day one: healthcare, housing, good paying jobs and standing up to corporate greed. He doesn’t check which way the wind is blowing. He has never had to flip, because he has never been anywhere but on the side of Michigan’s working families.

One candidate changes his story every two months. The other just made the ad of the year proving it.

We need all hands on deck no matter where you are in the world. Volunteer at abdulforsenate.com. Election Day is Tuesday, November 3, 2026. We have a chance to elect a true progressive in the senate. Let’s go!

Trump’s man lost. Brazil won.

Brazilians just handed President Lula a historic fourth term. 64.2 million votes. Over 4 million more than Trump ally Flávio Bolsonaro. Lula finished second in round one and came roaring back, the first comeback like it since Brazil’s democracy returned in the 1980s.

And they did it with everything stacked against them.

Indigenous voters in the Amazon live up to 556 miles from the polls, AP reports. Up to five days by boat. A court in Pará had to force the government to get them there. They crossed rivers and wildfire smoke anyway. They rode motorcycles down dirt roads anyway.

In the cities, Lula says 40 percent of São Paulo’s buses vanished on election day. A court in Bahia ordered a transport official arrested. Voters were “barred from voting.” They found a way anyway.

Online, Lula’s campaign accused Meta of burying his posts and throttling his reach. Brazil’s electoral court ordered Meta to stop interfering. Meta denies it. Lula still won.

Trump backed the Bolsonaros from the start. He called Lula a “radical left lunatic” in 2022, called the first round a “very, very big victory” for Bolsonaro, and Lula has accused his administration of punishing Brazil with tariffs. Reuters reported two State Department officials pushed sanctions to weaken Lula. Now Flávio, just like his father in 2022, refuses to accept the result and wants the election annulled. Reuters, citing experts, says that is unlikely.

Lula’s answer: “This election was a defeat for denialism, a defeat for lies.” And: “This country will not accept being anyone’s backyard.”

This is what people power looks like. Indigenous families, river communities, bus riders and young people in the streets beat bus cuts, Big Tech and a Trump ally.

America, take notes. Our turn is in 8 days. Vote early. Vote progressive down ballot. Vote today.

Trump tried to buy an election. Brazil’s young people showed up and crushed him.

On October twenty fifth, Lula da Silva won a historic fourth term in a major landslide. Lula: 64.2 million votes. Flavio Bolsonaro, son of convicted coup plotter Jair Bolsonaro: just 60 million. Turnout was above eighty percent. Lula was LOSING after the first round and came back to win anyway. First time that has ever happened in a Brazilian runoff, and his 64.2 million votes are the most ever cast for a single candidate in Brazilian history.

Lula said it himself. “This election was a defeat for denialism. It was a defeat for lies.” He thanked the generation that made it happen, saying Brazil’s young people “took to the streets to defend democracy.”

Here is what they do not want you to know. For months Trump slapped fifty percent tariffs on Brazilian goods, admitting it was punishment for prosecuting his buddy Jair Bolsonaro, the same Bolsonaro convicted and sentenced to prison for plotting a coup. Trump weaponized trade to bail out a coup plotter and keep his family in power. Brazil said not today. Now Flavio is already refusing to accept the results and running to court to annul an election he fairly lost. Same playbook his father ran in twenty twenty two. Same playbook Trump ran in twenty twenty.

At eighty years old, Lula made a promise to the whole country. “I will make the best presidential term any president has ever had in this Republic.” Public healthcare. Free full time education. Four straight years of falling Amazon deforestation. Equal respect for women, elders, and every religion.

Democracy won. Young people won. The World Won Tonight. Trump lost. In 8 Days Americans have a chance to make history too, Vote for all progressives down ballot.
