Global Far Right Pulls Out All Stops To Get A Bolsonaro Back Into Power, Loses Anyway www.wonkette.com/p/global-far... by @brooklynmarie.bsky.social

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

"We're Always Wrong" with Cillizza and Todd, election night! Don't remember to tune in! (The paywall fade is entirely appropriate in this case)

“My Catholic Latina opponent wants to impose Sharia Law” is a hilariously desperate closing message. thehill.com/homenews/617...

A friendly reminder to celebrate the wins when you can. 👏

GUARDIAN: “Lula’s win is bad news for Jair Bolsonaro, who is serving a 27-year sentence for that botched power grab… also a blow for Donald Trump, the Bolsonaro clan’s most important international ally.” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

"Lula’s Incredible Comeback Shows How Democrats Can Win in 2028" The Brazilian leftist's big win is a blueprint for taking on the far-right, and shows up Democrats in the U.S. who appear ready to botch the next presidential election in two years, writes @alonso-gd.bsky.social for Zeteo:

🚨 NEWS: A federal judge has ruled that the Trump DOJ ILLEGALLY fired prosecutor Maurene Comey, ordering retroactive reinstatement and backpay. The judge ripped the DOJ’s defense as bordering on “frivolous” and rejected its sweeping claims of executive power.

Early voting is underway in nearly every state (more details below). Have you voted yet? I urge you to do whatever you can to get out the vote in your communities and vote as soon as you can.

The great @keeptru.bsky.social is on the air right now with her 40th year anniversary broadcast. TUNE IN!

The first step was halting authoritarian consolidation. The second step is protecting the vote and the election. The third step is going on offense.

Back in the day you could look at the internet for up to an hour without getting mad.

The achievement of Serbian students overthrowing Aleksandar Vučić can't be overstated. In 2024, they began protesting. In 2025, they transformed a protest movement into civil dissidence. In 2026, they became a political party — and two months later, crushed a corrupt state-entrenched authoritarian.

Protest works. Organization is decisive. Draw your own conclusions. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

My reporting on the student movement in Serbia last summer. They kept at it, amazingly, for two years. And they won. snyder.substack.com/p/youth-prot...

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

Bolsonaro had corrupt media on his side, Meta interference on his side, US propaganda operations, and his party's officials actively sabotaging public transport in Lula strongholds to prevent turnout. Yet he was still beaten by the power of voter turnout.

The great @keeptru.bsky.social will host her 40th anniversary show tomorrow on @wfmu.bsky.social @gtdradio.bsky.social ! Congrats, legend! Tune in everyone! 💕🎧🙏

“.. a stunning comeback, sealed late as voters in Lula’s northeastern stronghold rallied behind one of Latin America’s most prominent opponents of Trumpism.” @bloomberg.com 🇧🇷 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

🚨 BREAKING: Lula is projected to WIN reelection as president of Brazil, defeating Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro and an ally of Donald Trump. The projection comes just ONE DAY after Reuters exposed a Trump administration effort to help return the Bolsonaro family to power.

men have always been pretty questionable but imo not enough people have really wrapped their heads around how thoroughly the internet has cooked men's brains over the last ~15 years.

Times have been tough in this Ohio town ever since the woke mob closed the old Cheesecake Factory. So when Vivek Ramaswamy promised to legalize child rape, they finally had something to cheer about again. But then Obama said something elitist.

The governor of Bahia calls out the election sabotage, which has been reported in at least 10 states now, and demands extended voting hours. This is a shit show

Ohio: Oh yes, the Dem Gubernatorial candidate HAS TOO excelled despite a nightmarish childhood. MN: Oh yes, the Dem Senate candidate IS TOO really smart and always has been in spite of economic challenges. Who's next?

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

Hey ‘Bama: you didn’t like him as a football coach. Don’t vote for him to be your governor. #vote

OBAMA: He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory. It's gold everywhere.

www.ms.now/opinion/supr... that's b/c of how corrupt the court has become & how they cater to tRump's whims instead of addressing the laws of this country. they work for tRump. only 3 of them actually do their jobs & we know which 3 they are. #expandthecourt #corruptscotus #impeachthomas #voteblue

New — I wrote about Vivek Ramaswamy’s weaponization of Amy Acton’s childhood sexual abuse and how it’s only the latest symptom of a Republican party flush with rape apologists, led by an adjudicated rapist:
