Best day for democracy worldwide in quite some time: Brazil’s center-left president won the runoff in an upset, blocking the far-right from gaining unified power. Serbia’s right-wing authoritarian government finally lost control of parliament after more than a decade in power

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 Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

Anyway damn everyone who over the last 10 years tried to gaslight us into believing that we were not seeing what we were obviously seeing.

LaPorta is playing at a high level and he should get paid. I mean why are the Lions being so friggin stingy. Who cares if he’s voicing frustration. I’m frustrated at the mgmt too

Turns out the man who jumped in the with the Tiger was developmental disabled and mute. Obviously only someone unwell (in some way) would do that.

That Kansas Senator sent a bunch of people to court and jail over $50 bills etc but his campaign stiffed a tiny bakery for hundreds of dollars. I guess the baker should’ve sent him to debtors prison. #GOP#solutions

turns on snl to see if shane gillis can be funny tonight... uses lesbians as a (unfunny, inaccurate) punchline tells a half-baked not-a-rapist joke says women at the gym these days look like whores mentions his friendship with joe rogan ends on a "these days either you're gay or you're hitler"

Lorne Michael insists on giving an aggressively untalented hack one of the biggest platforms in media. Well I’ve been offended for the last time. Give this show to Tina Fey or Amy or Kenan. It’s uneven and unwatchable now

“Women dress like whores now at the gym …that’s the only way I can say it” Shane Gillis fucking idiot telling a “joke”

There is a reassuring fantasy among those who have critiques of unfettered left-wing governance that right agrees with these critiques and will temper the left when in power. But the contemporary right isnt that, it's an apocalyptic doomsday cult that lives in an alternate reality.

Oliver Willis@owillis.bsky.social

The biggest democratic/liberal mistake of the last 50+ years has been operating like the right has anything to offer America. It was the fundamental problem with Bill Clinton to Obama and everyone in between

Jack Smith is really a model prosecutor. HOWEVER I wouldn’t want him for AG unless he learned a lesson to not expect Judges or the SCOTUS to play by the rules. He or any AG coming has to understand to play defense while prosecuting or we will be right back to Garland levels of quicksand.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

I like that in becoming a nazi, you get glowing coverage as a brave iconoclast, and then when you stop being a nazi, you’re get glowing coverage as a brave dissident. Money coming and going. Only way you lose is having normal opinions like “racism bad” bsky.app/profile/trac...

OK, Washington Post, enlighten me. What is the bright side of being a Nazi?

This story brought me back to Kara, one of the mothers in my book, There Is No Place for Us. She was homeless with her four kids while driving for DoorDash. They had to pee in bottles so bathroom stops wouldn't make her late. After gas, she earned $6.50 an hour—75 cents less than the minimum wage.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Dolly would have been a billionaire but she self taxed to make the world a better place. We can’t count on peoples altruism so tax those mugs

Thank the SCOTUS for this. It’s open season on women. SCOTUS Reform and women’s health care … which is HEALTH CARE have to be front and center focus
