The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

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

Trump wants Americans to talk about Nicki Minaj's and Jon Husted's asses rather than the 240th day of the Never Ending Iran War, the Epstein Files, the Billionaire Class trying to buy another election, fuel prices, grocery prices, housing prices, inflation, or the newest rape allegation against him.

Impeach Hegseth, but he's not doing this without Trump's approval. Fuck these guys...

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

For the love of duck please stop reposting obvious AI slop. Post real journalism, not these stupid memes that have been trained on real people’s work

The cost of capital gets tested before AI returns do. Wednesday: Fed decision, then $GOOGL and $MSFT earnings. Thursday: $AMZN. One week to test both the price of money and the businesses spending it.

When the elections are all over and we've gotten control of the House, Senate, and more governorships, I would like to have a word with the digital marketing strategists for some (most?) of the Democratic candidates who seem to think that more texts and emails are always the way to go. Take a breath

IF YOU'RE REPORTING ON THE BRAZIL ELECTION AND VOTE COUNT WITHOUT SIMULTANEOUSLY REPORTIG ON THE OPRN ELECTION SABOTAGE BEING CARRIED OUT BY BOLSINARO AND HIS GANG,YOU'RE NOT REPORTING THE REAL STORY

Here in Rio, people are out on their balconies screaming “it’s a coup” as Bolsonaro takes the lead in the count

Serious shit going down in Brazil's elections. Be prepared to see much more than just the usual fuckery here as well. The fascists are desperate to hold on by any means.

Laura Bassett@lebassett.bsky.social

The governor of Bahia calls out the election sabotage, which has been reported in at least 10 states now, and demands extended voting hours. This is a shit show

It's. So. Easy.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

Yeah, this man should not be allowed to practice law, and any failure to take away his ability to practice law after all of this would be a part of the end of the rule of law in America.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

Ya think?

🇺🇦 Zelensky suggested why Putin wanted to resume negotiations with Ukraine "Perhaps there are some agreements between America and Russia that I don't know about," the president said.

Remember kids. This is just practice for the kinds of things we'll be seeing from them here...

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.

This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.

NEW on @zeteo.com — Venues are *pulling out* of hosting Vivek Ramaswamy for his bus tour across Ohio in the closing days of the election. “We’re getting calls that people don’t want him there,” a top Ohio Republican says. “It’s that damn ad.” From @andrewperez.bsky.social and @swin24.bsky.social:

LOVE THIS: "Pugilistic Democrats must adapt to the new rules of political combat. They need not mirror Trump’s crass, racist, and misogynistic rhetoric. But they should attack more fiercely, fight a bit dirtier, and be less apologetic. When Republicans go low, Democrats should step on them."

“When they go low, step on them.” Money quote from my latest @atrupar.com Public Notice commentary. Please, read, rave-or-rant, share, and support PN! open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

It doesn't show that at all @nytimes; it shows that Ramaswamy is a gigantic asshole. You guys cannot write a headline or lede that's straight up, can you?

The New York Times@nytimes.com

Many fellow GOP politicians have distanced themselves from Vivek Ramaswamy’s brutal ad targeting Amy Acton, his Democratic rival in the Ohio governor’s race. The fallout shows that major political figures are still split on what is fair game for campaign attacks in the Trump era. nyti.ms/3WKjsqs
