"Brazilian democracy has many flaws, and far-right sectors remain very much active. Yet Bolsonaro’s fate — and with it, the fate of democracy — was shaped by...a practical reversal of the U.S. model..." Cristina Buarque de Hollanda for @sunsentinel.bsky.social www.sun-sentinel.com/2026/07/09/l...

Increasingly my reaction to these videos of unhinged people violently assaulting driverless cars and other tech abominations is "hang on, let's hear him out"

if congo pull this off i want the british museum empty by midnight

Democrats that aren’t running on “we will prosecute all emoluments to the maximum extent allowed by the constitution” are just different Republicans

There's absolutely nothing, and I do mean NOTHING you can say to the people claiming Nithya Raman somehow stole the election from Temu Tr*mp, because those people don't like democracy and want to destroy it. They believe a has-been loser piglet like Spencer Pratt should, but not Raman or Bass.

Hoy se fue Marjane Satrapi, historietista que hizo posible otro camino para quienes hacemos cómic💔✍️ Les comparto algunos dibujitos que hice en 2020 a modo de homenaje en vida. Gracias por tanto! #BD #Comic #Historieta #MarjaneSatrapi #Persépolis

The Nazivnamed themselves national SOCIALIST as a way of co-opting Buzz words from comunist/socialist movements in order to fight those movements and ideals. "Saying something people want to hear to bring them Into Fascism" is Literaly the first thing nazis do.

Happy Mother's Day!

Trump on Somali-Americans in Minnesota: "They're low IQ. I can generalize. They're low IQ people. They're bad people." (Note that moments later he claims Indianapolis is in Minnesota)

It’s been an unacceptably long time since I mentioned this so fuck this bigoted old shitbird and fuck all you shitbirds out there who support him.

A crucial part of Project 2029 has to be performative trials and draconian sentencing for Trump administration officials up and down the organizational ladder. Treat all of them like Timothy McVeigh so that the gravity of their criminality and treason become enduring images in American history.

A big takeaway this year has to be that Sinners and One Battle After Another were big, artist driven, swings bankrolled by WB whose future is ultimately unclear. I like living in a world where people like PTA and Ryan Coogler get to make the films they want to make with those resources.

All these Iranian monarchists who cheered on the bombing of our country, who got on bended knee for Lindsey Graham and Trump, keep asking me, “What if you’re wrong?” about my opposition to intervention and the disaster it could be. I keep telling them I would be thrilled to be wrong.

That Iranian Navy ship we torpedoed had no ammunition on board because that was a requirement to participate in the MILAN 2026 exercise (organized by the Indian Navy). The US Navy knew this because IT ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE EXERCISE. What a national embarrassment. newrepublic.com/post/207429/...

“I am the son of the guy whose secret police force used to terrorize you, please install me or my friends, for democracy” is an amazing pitch from the shah’s son

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to bomb this elementary school full of kids because he thinks it makes him look cool. also his scheming viziers will be betting money on it for fun. good luck soldier

Paramount taking over Warner Brothers is like if McDonnell Douglas took over Boeing... Oh wait.

This stunt where ICE releases people far from home with no proper clothing and no way home should be treated as attempted homicide. In this case, actual homicide. These cases are not accidental or based on misunderstandings. They are deliberate attempts to inflict bodily harm.

Bait title, Two weeks late, here's the actually revolutionary thing about Bad Bunny's Halftime Super Bowl show: A Latinidad that refuses to contort itself to Anglo cultural hegemony. Which is why US white supremacists (hence named "crackerdom") were so infuriated. open.substack.com/pub/nadienos...

At last, the USA taught something about defending Democracy to the Free World: They showed what NOT to do with those that threaten it. Biden, Garland. Then again, if like South Korea and Brazil, you had to fight to gain it, you knew that lesson already. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

"Is there technology the left is excited about?" is the kind of question you only ask if you're wildly naive about technology. mRNA vaccines. Heat pumps. Offshore wind. Urban mining. Sodium batteries. But god forbid we're not fawning over every new implementation of Making Computers Bad At Math.

Scoop: Ring's CEO told staff Search Party is not going to be just for dogs, according to a leaked email I obtained. Said it is "first for finding dogs" before suggesting it would be expanded to be used for crime: www.404media.co/leaked-email...

If Bad Bunny was serious about uniting Americans, he would have given his Grammy to Donald Trump.

He's racist, we been knew that. That's what the conniptions over "woke" and "DEI" and immigrants and everything else has always been about. You wanna be useful? Rebuke this shit with deeds and hire us. Stand with us. Respect us and our leadership. I don't need pity or condolences. I need a job.

A reminder that Bad Bunny performs in front of the biggest audience on earth in seven days

The fact that both are quite experienced—8 years and 12 years with CBP—is yet more evidence that CBP should be abolished and all of its agents fired. There's no way to "reform" or "retrain" that, it's just a violent gang with badges.

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images. This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

The guys at Straight White American Jesus have a great breakdown on the "sin of empathy" stuff. Highly recommend. Give @bradleyonishi.bsky.social a follow.

To avoid the possibility Holocaust remembrance might lead to empathy for migrants, Trump's antisemitism envoy claims Anne Frank "was in Amsterdam legally." In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.

I suspect right now Stephen Miller and the other nazis are meeting to discuss how a place not as “nice" or "peaceful” as Minnesota will provide better oxygen for their lies and goals of martial law.
