Corrupt cowardly pendejo Marco Rubio helped dictator-wannabe criminal Flavio Bolsonaro and his family flee from Brazil to the US after losing the election and says he will issue them visas. The MAGA regime won’t grant asylum to people fleeing war zones, but they’ll protect a terrorist. Got it.

It's VERY useful right now to watch elections in other countries: like Serbia, Brazil, & Israel. It's fascinating to see democracy emerge victorious in 2 countries. And to discover how panic over the impact of mass voting--democracy--will affect a 3rd BIG numbers of people voting are a GOOD THING

Netanyahu is sounding utterly desperate today. He's posting non-stop about high Arab voting turnout to create hysteria and fear. He also released a video statement claiming "They are trying to steal the election from us!" Arab Israelis make up 21% of the Israeli electorate.

I’ll keep pushing up hills and dragging my wheelchair up stairs rain or shine to have conversations with Iowans. That’s how important your vote is to me.

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.
