Flávio Bolsonaro has been banned from leaving Brazil and ordered to surrender his passports following his presidential election defeat, amid investigations into suspected influence-peddling, money laundering and other alleged financial irregularities.
Brazil's, Trump backed candidate, Flávio Bolsonaro faces a corruption inquiry over R$134 million sought from jailed banker Daniel Vorcaro, who is also linked to suspected influence-peddling involving associates of election court chief Kassio Nunes Marques.
🚨IT’S THE EPSTEIN ELECTION.
Democrats are pouring tens of millions into ads tying Republicans to the Epstein scandal—including over $20M in key Senate races across Alaska, Maine, Iowa, Ohio, Kansas and Georgia.
Total Dem ad spending: $36 MILLION.
The strategy: make Epstein a symbol of corruption.
The people of Serbia celebrating the defeat of the dictator who held full authoritarian control of their country for nearly 14 years. This is what democracy looks like.
Reports indicate Putin wants NATO to return to 1997 borders and withdraw from the Baltics, Poland, and Finland among others.
He knows damn well NATO will never agree to this. That's not his goal. He wants Trump to agree to this in some manner to eliminate US Article 5 support.
Telling headline in the WSJ: “clings to power?” He won the election by more than 3% and with more than 50% of the vote - how about just “prevails” or “wins re-election?” @wsj.com
While you were so worried Socialism would take away your freedoms…
Capitalism stole your pension, took your savings, sent your jobs overseas, robbed you of health care, dismantled the educational system, & put you in debt…
Stop listening to a con man criminal fool, and things will get better. 😎🇺🇸✨
Fascist republicans are completely ignoring the actual treason that was found on criminal slumlord Jared Kushner’s phone but were more than okay with wasting tax dollars to exhaustively go after Hunter Biden’s dick pics and him selling paintings.
🔥KULINSKI: “Who’s more responsible for your life being hell: trans people, Muslims, immigrants or billionaires? You know... 2 years of an anti-immigrant regime, is your life better? As @jamestalarico says the minority destroying 🇺🇸 are billionaires.” (H/T @marco.foster)
Here's a list of people who need to be voted out this November:
Ted Cruz
Jim Jordan
Josh Hawley
James Comer
Anna Paulina Luna
Scott Perry
Marsha Blackburn
Lauren Boebert
Mike Johnson
Mike Rogers
Elise Stefanik
Rick Scott
There are more. Who else?
I believe in government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
Mike Rogers believes in government of the billionaires, by the corporations, and for the special interests.
CNN’s Harry Enten: “The GOP shouldn't be counting on a poll miss to win the Senate (though it's possible!). Democrats have actually been slightly more likely to outperform the polls in close Senate races since 1998. Same in 2018 (Trump's first midterm) and Dems outperformed in all 2022 close races.”
Dictators are being removed by the people.
Next: Netanyahu and Trump.
Then Putin and that thug in N. Korea.
Let’s finish off despots and usher in the Age of The People.
Worldwide.
AIPAC's super PAC funded attack ads through groups with progressive-sounding names.
Here are a few of them:
👩 Elect Chicago Women
⚖️ Pro-Choice Majority Action
🗳️ Elect Democratic Women
None of the ads disclosed AIPAC’s role.
LINA KHAN: “This @nycmayor administration has shown a willingness to confront powerful interests.”
How @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social’s affordability agenda is centering workers, not the rich and powerful.
A special independent body to probe US officials is being organized by a collection of current/former US agents, prosecutors, officials, human rights bodies. Trump will not be in power forever and no pardon or special law will ensure you are not held accountable.
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.
The lesson from Serbia is that when no party represents the people, you can build your own alternative even if it takes years of community assemblies, organizing and resistance to severe state repression.
Democracy and justice are fragile; it takes the utmost strength to keep them alive.
Serbia’s student-led movement has delivered a historic election upset, ending 14 years of rule by Aleksandar Vučić’s party. Millions celebrated across Serbia and Europe.
Whether Netanyahu wins or loses the Israel election, there is no upside. Replacing a criminal with another while maintaining a policy of genocide and apartheid is no victory.
Changing the face of power means nothing if the system of oppression remains intact. There are no "gentle" genocides.
Eisenkot presents unity as a central political principle while opposing Palestinian statehood. His position raises a fundamental contradiction of unity for Israelis, but no equivalent right to national self-determination or existence for Palestinians.
That's still genocide.
Israel can't do the right thing, Netanyahu and his principal electoral rival Gadi Eisenkot are genocidal, Eisenkot is credited with formulating the "Dahiya Doctrine", a military strategy of disproportionate force and targeting civilians. Partook in IL war cabinet during recent Gaza massacres.

Flávio Bolsonaro refuses to concede, "I am going to request the annulment of these elections." US right wing accounts linked to Trump attempting to push disinformation to help Bolsonaro's narrative.
Flávio is more likely to face a criminal investigation for corruption instead.
