BRAZIL: BOLSONARO REFUSES TO ACCEPT ELECTION DEFEAT, DEMANDS RESULTS BE ANNULLED Mercado Media

The doctor said next week’s midterm elections will be, “the most dangerous period in American history because a man with this fragile mental state is going to find himself on the losing end.” I’m willing to take that risk. Vote out every Republican! #VoteAmerica www.rawstory.com/trump-needs-...

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.

💙💛 An overnight Russian drone attack on Kyiv killed 3 people and wounded dozens, including 6 children, the Mayor of the Ukrainian capital said on October 26, 2025.

This is why Trump just said at his rally that he doesn’t care about high gas prices because people who own stakes in the oil and gas industry are getting rich.

Many people on the streets of São Paulo were angry at an apparent attempt by pro-Bolsonaro politicians to derail the election by sabotaging public transport in Lula-leaning voting areas across the country. 4/4 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

His speech made no mention of the fact that his campaign had also asked the electoral court to extend voting hours, but he nevertheless said [the] decision to extend voting by two hours amounted to “changing the rules of the game while the game was being played”. 3/4

His father, former president Jair Bolsonaro, also refused to acknowledge his defeat to Lula–before attempting a coup and being convicted for it. The senator cited a supreme court justice’s decision to extend voting hours as the alleged reason. 2/4 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Speaking during Lula’s victory speech, Bolsonaro said it was “impossible to concede the election result” and that his legal team would seek to have the election annulled. 1/4 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Among them was Raša Nedeljkov of the election monitory CRTA, who said that “a large number of irregularities continue to be recorded, while violent incidents outside polling stations are also becoming increasingly frequent”. 7/7 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

On Sunday, independent monitoring groups warned of recorded cases of photographing of ballots that suggested pressure on voters, attempted vote-buying and carousel voting. 6/7 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

In the lead-up to Sunday’s vote, both international and local election monitors expressed concerns about detentions and reports of surveillance and cyber-attacks against activists. 5/7 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Undaunted, the students took to the streets, staging rallies, turning up in the rural areas that had long been Vučić strongholds and going door-to-door to pitch themselves and to rally voters behind their slogan of “Serbia or Mafia?” 4/7

The campaign pitted [students] against the political monolith of Vučić’s SNS party, leaving them in an uphill battle against a ruling party that had taken over almost all of the broadcast channels and which wielded ministries and other state institutions as political tools. 3/7

Speculation had begun to swirl online about whether Vučić would seek to hold on to power. His swift admission of defeat, however, was reminiscent of his ally, Viktor Orbán, in neighbouring Hungary, fuelling hopes of a democratic resurgence to central Europe. 2/7

The scenes of joy came hours after a record number of voters turned up to cast their ballot. Long lines snaked out of polling stations, with some reporting wait times of up to two hours. Pollsters and monitors put the turnout at 67.6%, the highest since the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1992. 1/7

The moves were widely viewed as an attempt to privatize space traffic control. The DoD has now granted SpaceX access to its most precise data on potential collisions among satellites and other space objects, [and shut down the govt. function] which will give Musk an advantage over competition.

“Trump’s Justice Department has shut down investigations, deliberately withheld evidence and, through Todd Blanche, prevented Ghislaine Maxwell from discussing a survivor whose account implicated Trump.” www.commondreams.org/news/epstein...

In a decisive response to increasing security threats, the United States has ordered the evacuation of non-essential personnel from its embassy in a volatile region, signaling an escalated commitment to military action....

Yes, Slob Job, Nicki Minaj would make the perfect press secretary. Her husband is a registered sex offender convicted of rape who also served about 7 years for manslaughter. Her brother was convicted of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old child and is serving 25 years to life.

Folks, if you hate authoritarianism, you should be feeling good this morning. In Serbia, a student-led movement just ousted a longtime strongman, peacefully. And we Americans should be paying attention, because we have a chance in November to send a similar message. (link below)

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

If this shit doesn't stop, we're finished. Crooked cops will use this to deport anyone they want, for any reason. Police departments will become the mob. Pay up for go to Uganda.

⚠️Meta’s alleged interference in Brazil’s election is a warning for democracy everywhere—including the USA. If platforms can shape political visibility in Brazil, they can do it anywhere. www.panamericandispatch.org/p/meta-emplo...)

Meta's $10 Billion data center in Indiana produced 300 permanent jobs That's $33 million per job In a typical manufacturing plant, a similar investment would create at least 300,000 jobs Data centers benefit wealthy investors, not communities

Yet another entrenched authoritarian defeated yesterday in Serbia. As the United States approaches a critical midterm election, Serbia shows that we can win despite uphill authoritarian conditions. It can be done. It takes all of us, especially young people. Timothy Snyder
