Hundreds of students at Cass Tech and Detroit School of Arts walked out demanding justice for Nolan Wells. This racist "injustice" system has failed his family, and students all over the country are taking action to demand accountability for his murder!

The people of Serbia celebrating the defeat of the dictator who held full authoritarian control of their country for nearly 14 years. This is what democracy looks like.

A moment of silence for the international far-right propaganda machine, which spent millions trying to export American-style election denial to Brazil, only for the working class to look at the Bolsonaro family and say, "Nah, we're good." The US propaganda machine and tech

This is a Tawny Frogmouth, an Australian bird that looks like an owl but isn't one. By day it freezes on a branch and mimics a broken tree limb so well that people walk right under it

Doesn’t matter how you voted if you were front and centre in a Brexit government, actively overseeing the shrinking of our economy, our influence and our opportunities, while you rolled around in the trough. We’ll be disregarding everything you now say, thanks.

Despite Lula solidly winning the Brazilian Presidential runoff, his Far Right challenger Flávio Bolsonaro is describing the result as “inexplicable” and calling for the election to be annulled. A preview for the US Midterms.

The shift away from the US continues. Ten countries have now signed on for Macron’s Forward Deterrence initiative, including the UK, Germany and Poland, WSJ reports. Under the plan, France would station nuclear-capable fighter jets across Europe as trust in the US erodes.

Flávio Bolsonaro refuses to concede, "I am going to request the annulment of these elections." US right wing accounts linked to Trump attempting to push disinformation to help Bolsonaro's narrative. Flávio is more likely to face a criminal investigation for corruption instead.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

It's wild how little trump's own followers care that he is calling them functionally illiterate like every damn day. They don't know what "incumbent" means. They don't know "dumb" ends with a "B."

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.
