Scary Austin JUST VOTED BLUE!
MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social
<p>The Last Rose of Summer is a true story about corruption in <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/cancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>cancer</span></a> research. I discovered a cheap, plant-derived drug that could replace some much more toxic (but more lucrative) therapies. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BigPharma" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BigPharma</span></a> got involved and suppressed the research. Eventually I had to publish the story in thinly veiled fiction and survive a bunch of murder attempts.</p><p>"Mary Austin" is a pseudonym, as my publisher forced me to use one. So... hi, I'm "Mary." 🤷♀️</p>

EpistemicCrisis was just saying "I hope it happens on camera." Well, I wanna see that with a Looney Tunes style "That's all, folks!" Quit farting around, Reaper.

What did we just see in Brazil? When Nazi / Confederate billionaires try to interfere and suppress votes, it pisses people off! "They spread a net for my feet— I was bowed down in distress. They dug a pit in my path— but they have fallen into it themselves." -Psalm 57 https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/10/shomari-figures-alabama-supreme-court-callais-backlash-black-turnout-vra/ #midterms #racism

It's extremely fortunate that this monstrous study was halted just in time. There are plenty of reasons to impeach Murder Jerky and this should feature prominently in Congressional investigations. It will be up to us to stay on the Dems to pursue justice for every victim of this regime. https://defector.com/the-u-s-funded-plan-to-kill-infants-in-africa-by-withholding-vaccines-has-been-thwarted #RFKJr #vaccines

Wait, Dolores Huerta too?? Oh God. May she have all the joy and peace she deserves in Heaven. I'm glad for her that she got to tell the whole truth and have some justice before she passed. And finally she is where no one can harm her again.

#Trump is now canceling planned rallies. There is no way someone mustered the courage to tell him he's harming his candidates. It can only be health related. I'm not saying Obama gave him a stroke, but...

Oh, man, it really seemed like this man was just ageless and immortal. But nothing good can last forever. RIP Sir Patrick Stewart, you will be missed.

After a fun morning of Other Fuckery that really shouldn't be fun, but is fun by the bizarre standards of this timeline, I say: rather than tear your hair out waiting for the US election results, just get out there. Do some fuckery. You will get some vitamin D and fresh air and help save democracy and feel a bunch better.

OH MY. Boston-based comedian Robby Roadsteamer has been extremely brave throughout Trump 2.0, storming ICE offices and other gatherings of assorted Nazis. Apparently he went into the rally in #Ohio dressed as the Jeffry Epstein Giraffe (his usual costume) and sang his remix of YMCA about Trump on the #Epstein plane. #Trump heard him, turned around, saw him, and saw his middle finger. Pro-child rape MAGAs booed and Roadsteamer got thrown out. https://www.instagram.com/reels/DfDs4Fku8yv/

Oooh, maybe someone can collect on Trump's million dollar bounty for voter fraud! Which he would totally pay of course. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-election/james-okeefe-minnesota-unlawful-voting-identity-theft-charges-rcna606142

As I troll other platforms for resistance material, sometime the shitty algorithms try to show me fashy accounts. Obviously I take appropriate measures. But sometimes they show me "Precious Juggalos," or in this case "Bumper Stickers of #Minneapolis." I am now hooked on this account.

Anybody left at Kash Patel's #FBI would probably betray the country if it were advantageous, but they're having doubts. LOTS of people are having all kinds of doubts about going along with any kind of ham fisted attempt to stop the #midterms. This is because the people fought back. It's abundantly clear we will not back down if they try to use the FBI to seize ballots in Georgia. Maybe they thought that would serve them last year, but this year is a whole 'nother. https://www....

Once again, Trump's weaponized #DOJ cannot indict a ham sandwich. He keeps thinking he's Putin and he can just lock up anyone he wants. He is not and never will be prime Putin, or even badly deteriorated, high-on-his-own-supply Putin. This is not to make a "master strategist" of Putin, Orban or any other dictator; it's just that #Trump is in a league of his own for stupidity. https://www.ms.now/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/cassidy-hutchinson-trump-doj-fail-weaponizatio...

Good for these people for speaking up. They're all out of office, but this gives permission to people to not vote Republican. Not all will follow suit, but some will. https://www.expressnews.com/politics/article/texas-republicans-defect-support-talarico-paxton-22496367.php #Texas #midterms

A photographer took some photos and then we marched back. I was near the front of the march just because I walk quickly, and one of the guys at the front with the unions was yelling through a bullhorn, "Back in the park we have bags of Halloween candy! Free candy! But not in a creepy way! It won't be in an unmarked van!"

Protest Thread #134: Who needs Spooky Season when you have attacks on healthcare? Last night I went to a protest held by National Nurses United (I'm on their protest mailing lis), AFL-CIO, and other people who are just fed up with attacks on what healthcare we even have. It started out in a public park next to a residential neighborhood. I parked next to some houses with truly impressive Halloween decorations in their yards... #50501movement #healthcare #unions

RE: https://flipboard.social/@newsguyusa/117518917674581290 I've been a goody two shoes my entire life, so it's hilarious to think that I am almost certainly on some sort of watch list. Which is true of virtually everybody confronting ICE. We're social workers, civil rights attorneys, healthcare providers, NGO employees, educators, and other hard core goody two shoe types. We're mostly women, too. It's a riot to see how scared of us they are.

Trumpers beat up a woman who walked into a rally with a shirt that said "RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES." They bragged about it on Facebook, because that's the kind of brains behind still supporting Donald Trump. She's pressing charges and the Sheriff of Mahoning County, Ohio, is investigating. Granted, it sounds like they had to be pressured by the public to do it, but they're going to review the evidence to decide on charging with misdemeanor vs felony assault. https://www....
