uma da coisas mais lindas dessa eleição é ver os posts de portais internacionais mostrando o Lula beijando a bochecha da Erika Hilton e como isso tá praticamente virando um simbolo lá fora de como é uma imbecilidade a esquerda não abraçar pessoas trans

I think we underestimate the appeal of antigambling politics because every problem gambler is surrounded by 3-10 people who are absolutely sick of their shit.

Of course there is obvious racism and Islamophobia here but I remain insistently struck by how this man is in and of himself a perfect representation of the American decline he is so obsessed with combating. I am no great fan of the Kennedy family but I do admit that they were, once, literate

This man's own aunt, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, purchased translation rights to 14 works by Egyptian author Naguib Mahfouz after his Nobel Prize in 1988, personally editing his legendary Cairo trilogy with pen and paper. Her notes are preserved at Indiana University archives.iu.edu/catalog/InU-...

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

In the State of New York, you can drop off mail-in ballots from family at early voting locations. Your family member marks the ballot, signs the envelope, the ballot goes in the envelope, which is sealed, then a poll worker takes the envelope from you, signs it, then puts it in a box with a slot.

This is so weird, in Spain this would not be possible, the voting for your mom and the sticker both are not a thing. If someone can't go to vote they can mail it, if they can't mail it there is something else but I don't really know how it can be done.

I’ll reiterate: if I don’t name enough for housing AND food, I don’t eat today. That’s bare minimum 130 dollars I’m fucked. I cannot use afterpay. And I’ll lose the account soon at this rate because I can’t pay. But then I won’t be able to even get rooms worse case I don’t know what to do

I want all trans people to know that Erika Hilton is a black transwoman and the most-voted congresswoman in the history of Brazil, with 1.5 millions votes. She campaigned for Lula over the last three weeks. WE TRANS PEOPLE CAN EXIST IN POLITICS. It’s not a dream. It’s already a reality in Brazil!

The far right is international and they all organize together and raise money for each other. I'd argue it's critical to pay attention to elections in other countries.

It is also, obviously, ethically grotesque, just a fucking evil thing to do, which is perhaps something we ought to start caring about with regards to elected officials.

It is, ultimately, damaging your ability to accomplish things long term or to win elections long term because you assume that you can't change the framing of the conversation even though changing the framing is a tool that's right there for you to grasp. It's incompetence. Malpractice.

Because it really is the behavior of people who don't even perceive the *existence* of a movement, who treat politics like it's just their little personal little league game to win or lose. It's wrecker shit, fundamentally. Insecure, pathetic behavior.

What these politicians are doing when they put out dumb transphobic ads or say dumb transphobic things on stage is that they're weakening the movement either out of personal bigotry or out of doing incorrect electoral math, and they really should get shit for it.

And so I have to ask, where would we be in some parallel world where the socialism and liberty party, or the worker's party, had this particular brain worm and worried about the ~*~optics~*~ of campaigning with her, of letting her be the incredibly effective leader that she is?

Today is Intersex Awareness Day. I am intersex – and did not find out until I was 26! Intersex people are also impacted by the decision in FWS, but this is much less talked about. Intersex people continue to be subjected to non-consensual medical interventions. Intersex rights are human rights.

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.
