Republicans have been attacking Abdul El-Sayed by claiming that he wants to promote sharia law. But nobody asks his opponent, Republican Mike Rogers, why he's part of a party where leaders seem so willing to impose their faith on society. www.thebulwark.com/p/gop-closes...

Evidence "shows that Trump lied about kicking Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club," according to a new report from the House Judiciary Dem staff. The report also reveals for the first time Beatrice Keul's account of allegedly having been raped by Trump. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

They’re fucking called ARABIC numerals.

60 people have now died in ICE custody since Trump's return to office. Our country is set to spend $268 BILLION on mass deportations and detentions through the end of Trump's term. Instead of death and cruelty, imagine what we could have invested that money in instead?

When Donald Trump launched his campaign, he was caught hiring paid actors to pad the audience. (I also happened to be the one that busted him doing so). www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

Trump is spewing straight up white nationalist propaganda. Don’t fall for it. 🎥: @alarabiya_eng on TikTok

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

The lesson from Brazil is that democracy cannot be taken for granted. Defeating authoritarianism at the ballot box is only part of the struggle. Defending democratic institutions, protecting civil rights and demanding accountability require strong, sustained, principled public participation.

Bolsonaro just learned the hard way that Trump's loyalty has the shelf life of warm shrimp.

It’s been a wild 24 hours for me on BlueSky and I’m getting so many messages asking what can be learned from Brazil and applied globally on top of the below. Once again, I’m not a political expert but this is what I’ve seen as a consensus amongst specialists and voters so far 🧵

This is how Biden should have gone for Trump but this is the problem when you go through life thinking you have no apex predators. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

We found it. We found the exact opposite of "WHAT IS THE CHARGE? EATING A MEAL? A SUCCULENT CHINESE MEAL?"

Trump is consistently and unapologetically antisemitic, but the ADL will never care because he is pro-Likud.

Brazilians got to vote against the Bolsonaros, the Trumps, and Meta Platforms, Inc. all at once.

Olivia Chow is a passionate defender of Toronto. She is someone who never stops working for the community and the people of the city. Let's bring this home friends.

Brazil, thank you for winning 👍

Tonight Students Saved Democracy in Serbia. 🇷🇸 They won the election. The Student List movement unites youth, academics, and civic voices across Serbia. Grounded in anti-corruption reforms, democratic integrity, transparent governance, this movement brings hope to many. Vučić conceded defeat!

There’s a reason my opponent won’t debate me. There’s a reason she won’t go on TV to answer questions. Ashley Moody is hiding from Florida voters. So we’re taking this campaign straight to them. Thank you to all the folks who came to our Disney Town Hall. #AngieForFlorida

Separately, it's reported São Paulo is operating just 60% of its required bus fleet during Brazil's presidential runoff, despite a court order mandating full weekday service. Cuts are hitting lower-income neighbourhoods hardest, disrupting voters from reaching polling stations.

Love to see it. This is what that man is meant to do.

No unelected, unaccountable CEO should ever have this power. "Musk says he was behind Starlink speed restriction after service in Ukraine is restored" www.yahoo.com/news/article...

This Chinese company put RMB 35 million ($8.9M) on the table as a Chinese New Year bonus and let employees keep whatever they could count. Original post
