@pluralistic ""Billionaires like Bill Ackman and Ronald Lauder have poured millions of dollars into this race because they say that we pose an existential threat," Mamdani said at an Oct. 13 rally. "And I am here to admit something. They are right. We are an existential threat to billionaires who think their money can buy our democracy.”"

New, from me: Cloudflare Scrubs Aisuru Botnet from Top Domains List
For the past week, domains associated with the massive Aisuru botnet have repeatedly usurped Amazon, Apple, Google and Microsoft in Cloudflare’s public ranking of the most frequently requested websites. Cloudflare responded by redacting Aisuru domain names from their top websites list. The chief executive at Cloudflare says Aisuru’s overlords are using the botnet to boost their malicious domain rankings, while simultaneously attacking the company’s domain name system (DNS) service.

Federal agents knock down elderly couple during Portland protest
“It was totally unprovoked. It was not the kind of crowd that shouts the ‘F word.’ It was people like us, our neighbors. There were families, there were several veterans,” Laurie Eckman told The Oregonian/OregonLive. “With no warning the feds charged into us, knocked us down and sprayed us. I was hit in the head with a projectile.”

Gun violence in the US is due to many causes, not just one.
It's due to weapons of war that were legalized. The right did that.
It's due to a sense of entitlement that claims we're entitled to stand our ground in every situation. The right did that.
It's due to economic inequity that tells poor people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. The right did that.
It's due to poor mental health support caused by budget cuts. The right did that.
We can't solve these with the right in power.
