Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!

It’s telling that the Israel Foreign Ministry is saying Brad Lander, a proud and vocal Jewish person, traveled to a “foreign country.” When Israel wants the moral high ground of saying it speaks for all the Jews, it is all of our homeland. When we ask it to be better, it’s a foreign country to us.

Jared Kushner takes Mass Effect

if millennials could afford homes this wouldnt be a problem but this is going to hit the generation like a truck

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

Another one. The premise: Young people are cutting off their parents for minor mistakes and misunderstandings. The lead anecdote: A woman severs ties with her family for refusing to get vaccinated before her wedding — to a man who *lost his mother and brother to COVID*

These are all photos by Heidi Levine, the @washingtonpost.com photojournalist assaulted by Israeli attackers today in the West Bank. She was covering Palestinian families picking their autumn olive harvest. Israeli soldiers did nothing to stop the violence. washingtonpost.com/world/2026/1...

my fav tweet hasnt been reposted on here so im taking care of that

Ex-boss filed a $12 theft charge against an ex-employee because she got a restraining order in response to his creepy behavior. Charge was never prosecuted, but it gave ICE an excuse to arrest and detain her. Congratulations to the 58 Democrats who voted for the Laken Riley Act. You own this.

If Gavin Newsom runs for president in 2028, remember whose side he was on in the fight to rein in the wealth and power of billionaires in California. With @wkamaubell.bsky.social

This is not beautiful to see. This is the most racist democracy on planet earth, and people just expect Black people to sing negro spirituals and "overcome." It's not working. This still happens for one reason and one reason only: white US folk don't hold each other accountable for this racism.

So we fly a pride flag in our front yard in a very conservative neighborhood and it’s been there for the last few years. Someone put this in our mailbox and my goodness…

Personally, I think what really threatens American Jews is insisting our safety is dependent on denying what the whole world sees, that the Israeli gov committed war crimes against Palestinian civilians. Force people to think protecting Jews means denying reality, and they will stop caring about us.

off the fucking rails. a rogue government.

The Ilhan Omar stuff is grotesque and feels worthy of impeachment by itself

I want him to win regardless, but El-Sayed is really proving he has the juice here. I've been impressed by his seriousness for a while now, he knows what he's doing. Dude knows ball.

The words you're looking for are "attempted murder charges" He intentionally drove his SUV into a pedestrian

You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

Gavin Newsom backs measure to kill the billionaire tax and ban future wealth taxes Gov. Gavin Newsom isn't just fighting the billionaire tax. He's backing Prop. 42, which would ban future wealth taxes in California, too.

This looks like a carjacking. I think any reasonable person would hit the gas.

This is even more insane than I remembered.

most cucked man alive

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her. Small changes won't fix this. FLIP THE TABLE NOW

Sorry, lengthy 🧵: @hellgatenyc.com is a small but important experiment in building journalism infrastructure that is resilient to the polycrisis gutting news media (and the civil society and democracyfor which a healthy independent free press is a prerequisite). We just issued our annual report:

Cory Booker — who is being floated as a 2028 contender, and who just the other day did not deny the possibility of wanting to become leader of the Senate Democrats — promotes the book of Brett McGurk, a chief architect of the US-backed Israeli genocide of Palestine:

Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn and the outgoing leadership of the Brooklyn Democrats have been summoned to court to face contempt charges after holding a Zoom meeting at 10 p.m. last night to select new leadership, in direct defiance of a judicial order. hellgatenyc.com/zombie-brook...

Holy shit.

Yesterday, former Party Chair Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, violating a court order, called a meeting to hold a vote for party chair. Now she claims Nikki Lucas was elected chair, with votes from only 13 of the 42 District Leaders. This is illegal and undemocratic.

Let's stop using anodyne labels like "the immigration debate" or "controversy over migrants" and start referring to things accurately. "Expelling children who, by law, are entitled to remain in the country" or "imprisoning toddlers in concentration camps" or "pogrom"

We expect the former chair to soon claim that a new chair has been elected. This will be false, and this late-night zoom call masquerading as a BK Dems exec committee meeting, like every prior step of the former chair’s attempt to cling to power, was an affront to the democratic values of our party

The former chair of the BK Dems is trying to call a meeting at 10pm tonight to pick a new chair, in defiance of a judge’s order and using rules that the court struck down. No one should attend this meeting. Democrats respect the results of elections and the rule of law.

Less than 1% of major party nominees for Congress are working class. It is one of the most fundamental ways that Congress is not representative. And their views, e.g. on unregulated gambling websites, are apt to be different. www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

You can't get anyone in political media to say it plainly, but GOP strategy for several decades now has been built around the fact that its core goals/policies are *wildly unpopular*. Everything depends on a) polluting the information environment, b) cementing unfair structural advantages, & c) $$$.

Fox News is honing in on the enemy ... and it's ... Ms. Rachel?

The mayoral discourse in Berlin continues to be *utterly* unhinged. If the AfD had topped the polls the narrative would be “finally the people have been heard!” but since the Left won, it’s all “Queer Islamofascists and Woke are trying to conquer us with, er, affordable rents!”

The committee that makes up the Brooklyn Democratic Party held a chaotic meeting Wednesday to elect its leadership team using controversial new voting rules, as an appeals court deliberated on the legality of their actions mere blocks away. hellgatenyc.com/brooklyn-dem...
