President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva came from behind to win Brazil’s runoff election, halting a right-wing wave sweeping Latin America and defying predictions that the 80-year-old political veteran had finally reached the end of his extraordinary career. bloom.bg/4BsvV24 📷: Maira Erlich/Bloomberg

"coming from behind" in an election is such a dumb framing. It's not a hockey game. The votes were the votes. The order they get counted in is irrelevant. These foolish sports metaphors are part of how the press erodes democracy

Does everyone realize how unbelievably important this is? His opponent is not only fascist, but he would have burned most of the Amazon Rainforest, often called the “lungs of the earth”. Serbia ✅ Brazil ✅ U.S. TBD France TBD (runoff key)

I'm not the exact expert on Brazilian politics but I do regard this as something positive, at its very least better than the alternative. If I have interpreted the available information correctly then this scenario is indeed better for international stability, which the world can use right now.

Lula won despite Meta, TikTok, Rubio, and the entire flood of money poured in here by the U.S. Meta and TikTok carried out the greatest act of censorship in history in favor of the far-right. Only their end can save humanity.
