Booze Cruisetamante

No. This is dooming for nothing. Lula *did* end up cruising to re-election, it was called an hour after polls closed. The fact that he managed to pull that off when everything was pointing to a Bolsanaro win is not terrifying, it's inspiring. Stop looking at things through the worst possible lens.

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

I do think Lula should make a lot of people face the wall if he seals the deal

We're getting Iron Maiden in the global divorce

Help us make this happen in #Kansas! Here is a list of key races statewide mentioned below and a few more that could flip enough seats from red to blue and break the state supermajority. secure.actblue.com/donate/bluek...

This is really interesting - and entirely consistent with @rephuffman.bsky.social's recent book No Prophets. Worth reading both.

Trying to do that once you're already looking at D+11 polling on the day of the big rally 2½ weeks before the election is incredibly stupid & short-sighted, but we are talking about the man who blew $60 billion on a virtual universe where no one wears pants

Sean O'Brien made his bed.

If it wasn’t printed in a union shop, it was paid for by the Republicans. www.axios.com/local/clevel... A MAGA-linked super PAC is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars promoting a socialist candidate, Greg Levy, in Ohio's closely contested U.S. Senate race.

Loudmouthed malcontent actually uninterested in policy, laser-focused on superficial minutae to support incessant scolding

Drawing different colored lines on dudes. Is this some more nerd shit that I'm supposed to care about

.....They're moving to the acceptance phase y'all....😈😍

I know folks hate this, but candidates should all say whatever they think helps them now. When impeachment (likely) comes, Brown and others will have no trouble saying that they didn't want impeachment, but give [whatever] now there's no choice. (And of course Senators don't impeach, anyway).

I wanted to know how much EPA spent on admin leave after 1000s were paid not to work, often for months So I filed a #FOIA —> EPA denied me —> I appealed —> I won And EPA spent almost $200M on leave Many never returned to work #FOIA4eva More here: subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2026...

If this is your position then there's basically no way you could ever want peace in Israel, just a neverending cycle of slaughter

Is "Maoist Communist Union" a real thing, or did this dork just make it up

If care about free markets, you not only get more from center-left Dems than the party of Trump, you get more *from professed democratic socialists* like Mamdani than you do from the party of Trump. Those who deny this only think of it as an anti-left cultural totem and not a real policy agenda.

Elon realizes Grok sux

No worries, I'm sure this will be offset by our 0% raises

Down to 1.8! 🎉🎉

Okay guys our Governor candidates need money. Bottoms, Hinojosa, Jolly are putting out good ads but they don’t have money to air them. These races are all tossups and we need to act like it At this point you gotta wind down your donations to the Senate candidates

Peace President ends terrible war on Iran. Origins of Iran War lost in the mists of time, probably started by Joe Biden (imperialist)

The GOP: i despise transgenderism because it produces pedophilia, which I’m ambivalent to positive about

YOU hate Nader for throwing the 2000 election. I hate Nader for ushering in the era of Consumer as a primary political identity, touting the tort system as an alternative to normal democratic deliberation, and making things generally work worse in the USA.

Amazing stuff here

Top House Democrat puts defense contractors on notice

Feel like the wealthiest man in human history seething with rage because he's not allowed to say the n-word should really be the final argument against the idea we have a rational economic system or material based politics.

Trump’s support is MUCH softer than it was in 2018. A good measure of this is how many voters “strongly” approve of the president. That figure was 29% of registered voters in the middle of 2018. It is now 19%, based on Marquette’s last two 2026 polls. www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

Anti-immigrant demagoguery is the hearth that keeps the embers of local ethno-sectarian and racial animus alive. We saw it in the US and France, we're seeing it in Northern Ireland and the UK. It's both replacement therapy and gateway drug.

Joe Biden's entirely legacy for all eternity will be the vibes I'm personally feeling in 2026 as a person who never liked Joe Biden, I exclaim while half-drunk

Googling "definition of federalism" then not reading any of the results

Subtext of this tired argument is "deep down the Volk agree with me, but the evil liberals are too boring so the Volk had to vote for Hitler" This harebrained conceit is the focus of the last ~75 years of leftoid scholarship

This display wraps around Federal Triangle Embarrassing

I maintain that for a not insignificant number of Platner fans, the totenkopf tattoo was a positive.

I feel like we should do the LOTR academic paper titles too

there are good and complicated reasons "quality of life" issues became the domain of the right, but the left's great failure since the '70s has been operating under the assumption that results matter less than righteous intent, despite arguing for a material politics

On second thought, keep this piece of shit as far from Chris Pappas as possible

i think we've getting closer and closer to the tipping point where oil extraction becomes a strictly ideological project — persisting mainly because it's a necessary plank in the maintenance of brutal hierarchies — more so than a profit-making venture per se
