This is good news in itself, but it also represents the thwarting of influence operations by Trump and his billionaire alliesโ€”and I am delighted that they are having a rough time RIGHT NOW๐Ÿฅฐ, which foreshadows an even worse time to come.๐Ÿค— I Can't Wait

One day, these people will have to be put on trial. As long as they do whatever they want without consequences, weโ€™re all collectively screwed.

People abroad don't understand the level of interference Meta & bots had in these elections. 5 days before the election a far-right politician posted a fake news video that got 157 MILLION views on Instagram in 24hs. For reference, GTA 6's reveal trailer got 90 million views on YouTube in 24hs.

Just taking notes, as too many unalarmed people forgot what the far right would do if it regained power in France. โœ๏ธ

"Unions, universities,& social organizations began to organize themselves, mobilized by fear of what was to come: a Bolsonarism 2.0 that...foreshadowed a return to brutalism Suddenly understanding what the far right would do if it regained power, an alarmed populace took on the task of stopping it"

Also taking notes, sounds fair.

Lula to win the runoff in Brazil: increase Bolsa Famรญlia (social spending) by 15%, end the 6x1 workday, ban online betting, create plan for debt relief for low-income ppl, increase energy affordablity subsidies, relief for entrepreneurs... Western social democrats: let's copy their WhatsApp army

Really hoping you can avoid this fate in April and that Lula's victory inspires Europe to curb the rise of the far right/fascism and pave the way for a progressive government. Stay strong!
