Mamdani mentions Jews: Violent demagogue has a meltdown Mamdani doesn't mention Jews: Violent demagogue has a meltdown

Unpopular opinion, but I think much more has to do with the prevalence of exhaustion, brain fog, and cognitive decline thanks to repeated covid infections

People who hate any group of women will hate all women

I dont want flying cars. I want proper public and active transportation.

The Lula election may be the most significant of our time. Brazil will be the vanguard against an even more apocalyptic environmental deterioration. Overjoyed that the Amazon remains steadfast.

it feels like its kinda being ignored but outside a couple outliers the only thing republicans are running on in the midterms is that theyre white and democrats arent

Brazilians recommending not to amplify right-wing talking points by dunking and quoting, as a winning strategy Next day, my tl is full of people dunking on rfk jr I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!

Ditto Manitoba.

A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

We (Open Democracy Manitoba) built a #Winnipeg Election microsite where you can find your candidates and read CBC/Freep ward and candidate profiles. Search your address: www.winnipegelection.ca Let me know if you run into any issues. 🗳️

So much to say about Brazil, not least of which is the role that Erika Hilton, a Black trans leader and most voted woman politician in Brazil, played in mobilizing folks for Lula. She was behind the critical, concrete, economic promise of shorter work-week. theprint.in/feature/erik...

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.

TORONTO – Olivia Chow was re-elected as Toronto’s mayor, fending off a challenge from councillor Brad Bradford.

I've never found turkeys more relatable.

Winnipeg mayoral election. Young guy gaining lotsa last minute popularity. Noah Redden needs to hit harder now to pull it off. Take on the big boxes, malls and contractors that parasite cities!

Why not friend if friend-shaped? For something so dangerous, polar bears are ridiculously cute. #mammals 🌿

Oh crap. Now what?

It's not enough for me to have the most successful live-service game in the world, I also need to save money by not paying my workers. It's not enough to have a technology that lets me not pay my workers, people have to keep liking me after I start using it. I'm the 837th richest person in the world

The God of Bad Art gets offerings from all over the world, but in Their temple, They sometimes appear. "Why bad art?" I ask. "It is brave", the God replies. "To try and fail?" "No," the God chuckles. "Any creative work is a defiance of entropy, of Death itself. If you create, you do not fail."

I think that either the Democratic Party leadership are either so stupid they're unable to read and use polls somehow suddenly or a major part of their policy going forward is explicitly racist and transphobic. Transphobia and supporting the Palestinian genocide doesn't poll well, so that's all.

Me: I don't see any reason to use AI Slop peddlers: You know how you want to sell books but you hate writing? Me: No, I love writing. The only reason I care about selling books is so I can afford to write instead of getting a real job Slop peddlers: Oh. Well... You know how you hate your kids?

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

I have an article appearing in the coming year that traces the origins of technological progressivism to Christian eschatological thought and its attendant racialization in 1218 England when badges in the shape of the Ten Commandments were imposed on Jews. Here’s the conclusion to my article.

Sure, he can say this sort of thing as a candidate in a safe, blue, hippy state like Kansas...

Lily is a big part of why I’ll never give up on safe streets. We’re not done until every body can use the road in safety.

Running pro-energy sector ads is not the mandate of Environment and Climate Change Canada. Carney is also gutting federal science agencies and trashing environmental protections. Carney is worse than Harper.

Hopefully Wab was watching the BC returns last night

After being attacked by settlers a few weeks ago, we’re back in Jannatah to stand in solidarity with Palestinian farmers and help in the olive harvest.

The rise of @emilylowan.bsky.social is the only good thing to come out of this stupid election so give her a follow, as she will likely be on the front lines of fighting back against the avalanche of shit we are about to eat.

That's the root of fascism, to be perfectly frank. If you can look at a person and due to disability, or appearance, or weight, or the thought of them having sex makes you go EWWWWW, you are dancing right up next to "that is an incorrect human".

I think people intuitively understand that democratic candidates tossing trans kids to the wolves is not only morally repugnant but also politically ineffective, otherwise they wouldn't freak out every time someone said they weren't voting for a democrat who did this

Jesus fuck. RIP BC

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

Not a real Green split vote, that's cruel.
