Gonna be really funny when he has to cough up $1 million to pay the person who caught a MAGA chud voting twice.
Trump: "Anybody reporting Voter Fraud in the past Elections, or the upcoming 2026 Midterm Election, will be paid $1,000,000 upon the arrest and conviction of those that created the Fraud! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"
You sadly can't boycott Meta, its tentacles are too broad. But you can get away with boycotting Xitter which is a rigged game.
Key lessons from Brazil Amplify our people. Ignore the opposition. Use the tools owned by fascists to defeat the fascists? Meet the people where they are. May need to reconsider my staunch position of boycotting Meta for the reason. Thoughts?
My instincts told me the 'TRUMP NUKE BRAZIL' guys were hurting themselves glad to see I was right.
This really cant be said enough: Bolsonarists are so anti-national interest that it sounds unbelievable for a rightwing party to be so unpatriotic They begged Trump to sanction & tariff their own country & cause economic pain to millions of Brazilians so their guy could win. x.com/rojasrjuand/...
FOLLOW MIKE if you're interested in Brazilian politics! We're in a global fight against authoritarians and learning about the dynamics of other countries is essential!
YAY, I passed 6,000 followers on bluesky from Brazilian election coverage I had over 20,000 followers on twitter & when it collapsed, it hurt my ability to crowdfund. Big thanks to all my new followers! Valeu
'Alguma coisa acontece no meu coração, que só quando cruza Ipiranga e a Avenida São João...'
Um dia triste para os haters: a cidade de São Paulo entregou a maior diferença do país, em números absolutos, entre Lula e Flávio: 766.431 votos. Número foi superior ao de Salvador (732.320), cidade-campeã em 2022

@paeslemeb.bsky.social 'Falhávio' dá certo como trocadilho? Achei apropriado porque ele é o failson do Jair 😂
Here's Lula celebrating tonight with Erika Hilton, a transgender politician who led the drive to end the six-day work week in Brazil. Erika showed workers solidarity, they showed her solidarity back. Solidarity is how fascism loses.
“Democrats have to join Republicans in saying awful things about trans people to win in red and purple states” Citation?
I feel like the best thing we as Americans can do for the world is obliterate the Big Tech companies we've spawned.
In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.
But give Biden credit: His administration told the Brazilian military they would not accept a Bolsanaro coup. When Bozo I ordered his generals to block Lula from taking power, that may have factored into their refusal.
Only one of these guys was able to put his criminal opponent in jail and win a second term
The way Netanyahu sees the world is unbearably cynical: He thinks that Zionism isn't just a way to ensure Jewish safety but the only way. He fundamentally believes any society where Jews are a minority will inevitably turn on them.
"Most Israeli Jews now see the world the way Netanyahu has long seen it. That is Netanyahu’s great victory. But it is matched by his great loss: Much of the world now sees Israel the way Gazans see it" www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/o...
