Here's Lula celebrating tonight with Erika Hilton, a transgender politician who led the drive to end the six-day work week in Brazil. Erika showed workers solidarity, they showed her solidarity back. Solidarity is how fascism loses.
“Democrats have to join Republicans in saying awful things about trans people to win in red and purple states” Citation?

History repeats, Catholics decide power is more important than facism
I have zero sympathy for anyone involved in this grotesque farce. When you travel all the way to DC to go to the home of the most infamous fascist in US history and get ushered into his office alongside a videographer and photographer, you know *exactly* what vile game you're playing. Disgraceful.

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 only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.
Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Brazil extended voting hours in lieu of the attempts at voter suppression seen today. We'll know the results soon enough. I hope for all our sakes Lula wins.
Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Cristiano Zanin ordered a nationwide two-hour extension of voting in today’s presidential runoff, moving the close of polls from 5pm to 7 pm Brasília time.

Bypassing congress to fund the genocide was radicalizing for me. Not just for the evil but the fact Democrats have said "oh we don't have the power to do that" whenever the opportunity to do good came around. They had the power! They just only ever wanted to use it to murder Palestinians

"Canada and Türkiye are bound together by shared values: human rights, individual liberties, democracy and the rule of law." Patently false on its face. Carney is whitewashing Erdoğan's record of repression and antidemocratic behaviour for the sake of a trade deal.

Ok but have we tried more pipelines and data centres?
Hailstorms are becoming larger and more frequent, especially in the Great Plains. As the climate warms, thunderstorms will create stronger updrafts that hold hailstones in the air for longer allowing them to grow bigger — and fall harder. https://wapo.st/4yI2XIS

First they used the notwithstanding clause to override fundamental human rights. Next they came for library books. Now they are banning Pride flags. This is not how democracies operate. www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

Toronto mayoral candidate Brad Bradford has a slew of bad supporters, like the CEO of Shopify and the founder of Rebel News. @desmondcole.bsky.social explains that we should judge politicians by the company they keep—and Bradford’s has questionable friends. youtube.com/shorts/En3PJ...

They're white supremacists who want to take away the rights of Indigenous people so it's no surprise they're also targeting the LGBTQ+ community. Gonna be a dark period in Canadian history to have a government this far right in BC. Protect your neighbors!!
Trans rights organizations are sounding the alarm over what they say is anti-trans rhetoric coming from the Conservative Party of BC. @michellegamage.bsky.social reports. #BCPoli thetyee.ca/News/2026/10...
