What's striking to me are the rules of engagement and the methodology of action here, which more or less is predicated on burying liberal delusions about "debate" or the "marketplace of ideas". The rules were ultimately very simple: amplify your own message and suppress your opponent's.

At one point he had a Whatsapp group with 10 million people in it, coordinating action. Which I didn't even think whatsapp was infrastructurally designed to support. And yes, whatsapp is of course a meta network, but the strategy was to be everywhere, to act redundantly, to be unbannable.

And credit to him, it worked. A sort of digital levee en masse, literally raising an army to counteract the forces that artificially amplify far-right messaging. He did that through organizing and messaging, both on the streets and online, that was so relentless that he put himself in the hospital.

Probably the guy who's going to come out of this one looking like a hero is AndrΓ© Janones, a deputy (congressman) from Minas Gerais who just kind of... decided to take the reins of the situation, more or less, and people were feeling so aimless after the first round that they went along with it.

I don't know that there is a template or a "secret sauce" or a clear-cut lesson to take from this. But if there is one it's the idea of treating social media as the hostile territory that it is, of actually acting like you are a participant in propaganda warfare and not like a consumer.

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.

Obama's description of Trump's architecture attempts to excuse Trump's tastes as an Arab contamination! You racists describe homegrown White exceptionalist Christianity as "Taliban." Your 16th century ancestors were building a theocratic city on a hill centuries long before Taliban,

Was it not enough for you all to lay waste to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya, now you want to describe American tacky in Islamic language? OWN YOUR SHIT. You don't have to call it "Saddam." It's Trump and MAGA. Your own Gilded Age is right there!

Read this thread. An election is being stolen in Brazil in real time.
I havenβt slept a full night in three weeks ahead of the polls opening in Brazil today. I might be shouting into a void here, but if you can spare a few seconds to send good energy towards our elections today and for the largest country in South America to beat fascism, please do so. π§π·
this was exactly what Franz von Papen was thinking when he convinced Hindenburg to join the Nazi party in a coalition government in 1933, appointing Hitler as chancellor, in order to reign in the extreme fascist elements and bring them under their control.
It turns out that choosing the lesser of two evils is, in fact, a moral imperative. And some folks want to wait for the Revolutionary Perfect, but I would equally challenge them to demonstrate a single time where a 'start from nothing, year-0' revolution has turned out well for most people.

our institutions have stopped hiring, we've been telling students not to pursue advanced study, and to the extent that humanists have mounted a defence, it's been by pleading our utility as an adjunct of STEM disciplines and professional schools in short, it all worked

Adopting the IHRA definition of antisemitism has become a marker of Latin America's rightward shift, as governments across the region align with Israeli foreign policy and move to criminalize solidarity with Palestine.
all immigration issues are paperwork issues. it's interesting to me that a conservative will acknowledge this out loud even if for only their narrowly approved circumstances.
βToxic Empathyβ author Allie Beth Stuckey is now asking for folks to understand that ICE has separated a good man from his family over a paperwork issue.

ICYMI, LA Taco has parted ways with two of its most fearless ICE reporters, Memo Torres and Izzy Ramirez (@eltragon.bsky.social and @izzymirez.bsky.social on here). Neither says why, but it sounds like it was sudden and involuntary.

No malice on the author's part, but I think this article's headline gets the story slightly wrong here. The closing post acknowledges AI has gotten better at decompilation, but the reason for the close is that the AI users are ruining the community's values and space. www.404media.co/video-game-r...

The person who trained the officer testified that ICE does not consider pulling a gun on someone a "use of force" and that ICE has no policies expressly banning pointing guns at other motorists. However, he was so evasive on the stand that the judge considered disregarding his whole testimony.
