Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called.
An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flรกvio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.
โOur old horse is blind. He walked into the creek and couldn't find his way back out... He kept turning toward the deep water. His donkey waded in, leaned up against him and walked him to the bank one step at a time. They've been best friends for eleven years.โ
Donald Trump has sent his DOJ cronies to file a bullshit lawsuit to try to steal a Senate election in Alaska. They will fail.
When we fight, we win.๐ณ๏ธโ๏ธ๐ช
DHS agents took 12 minutes to decide if you're a citizen. A federal judge just shut that down.
Now they can't interview anyone they know or should suspect is a citizen.
The point was never fraud. It was fear, and to make you afraid to vote ahead of a midterms that Trump knows he's going to lose.
This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine.
The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.
X is owned by Musk. TikTok is blocking the Musk movie account. Meta blocked the No Kings account.

โI don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, Katie, but here's the thing. Mr. Musk has done this before.โ
Retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling tells Katie Phang that Musk previously shut down Starshield because he disagreed with Zelenskyy, then connects that allegation to Trump's latest ceasefire demands.
REPORTER: โTrumpโs popularity is very low, diesel prices are very high, the war he started isnโt going wellโฆ is he using you as a scapegoat for his own problems?โ
ZELENSKY: ๐๐ค (this is a YES)
Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."
This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putinโs war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

Wunderpus photogenicus was discovered in the 1980s and only officially described in detail in 2006. This one strolling among garden eels, appears to compose a sci-fi movie scene [๐น Gail Kukula]

64 years ago, on the 27th of September 1962, Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring was published. It handled the environmental harm caused by the pesticide DDT and the disinformation spread by the chemical industry. Carson managed to sway public opinion and even policy. #otd#history ๐๏ธ
Before the week begins, I have a specific request:
Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld
I just saw a film about the AI-enabled apocalypse. Only it's not science fiction. It's not even in the future. It's in the present. The film is called NAZA. See it.

This admin has spent years going after science. It proposed the largest cut in NASAโs history, about a quarter of the agency and half of its science programs.
But last month, a groundbreaking telescope left the launch pad anyway. And the story of how it got there is our good news this Sunday.
Abbott is not only contributing to the deaths of pregnant women, heโs hiding maternal death data.
Texans who think women should live will vote for a new governor.

A data center in New Jersey spilled 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel into a local creek, putting the areaโs entire river system at risk.
Is it any wonder nearly 70 percent of Americans donโt want a data center in their community?
The right to vote is one of the most fundamental parts of our democracy. Check your voter registration at IWillVote.com and make a plan to vote early or on Election Day on November 3.
Another shot from last nightโs sunset. Tonight we had a late thunderstorm that hung around and prevented any opportunities.

In August there were "federal observers" at the polls...
They're planning to send ICE out on our streets during the November election...
So we have a responsibility to make sure that this election result is TOO BIG TO RIG.
This chimaera is ready for their close-up.
The runway is ready, and this deep-sea beauty is cleared for takeoff. Nothing screams confidence like slowing down for a large robot and letting ROV pilots zoom right in for a visual inspection.

This girl I used to waitress with in Austin, we moved to New York together in 2003 on a literal Greyhound bus. Shared a fifth floor walk-up studio that, when it rained, had more leaks in the ceiling than we had pots and pans. We used to get drunk and smoke off the fire escape and do โsad-offs.โ
