SEEING ALL OF THIS ENERGIZES ME 🗽 🇭🇺 🩵 🇷🇸 🫂 🇧🇷 🌊 This reminds me what all of that is for. What I'm fighting for, what we're all fighting for, is possible! Each one of us can make a difference. Thread 1/5🧵

There comes a time in every reactionary politician's life when he must steel himself, insert a nasogastric tube for unclear reasons, put on his bravest grimace, and give the weirdest thumbs-up anyone has ever seen.

Hi. Lisa here. A 62 year old badass in a metallic gold suit with zero fucks to give and ready to burn down the patriarchy with a single spark from my stiletto. I’m smiling because I know this pisses off the enemy. Good. Vote blue.

What in the ever loving racist incorrect mouth dropping is this??? The Arab world “produces” plenty of “science”… which is all the more impressive since the West periodically bombs all their shit.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

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."

God willing, today is the day enough Israeli voters send Benjamin Netanyahu packing. More than 100,000 Israelis living overseas have traveled back, the vast majority of them specifically to vote against Netanyahu. Let's all hope for the best.

CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

How racist and desperate do you have to be to look at this and say, “Got ‘em!”?

Anthony Michael Kreis@anthonymkreis.bsky.social

The White House put an AI video of Hillary, Chuck, Hakeem, Kamala, and Ilan jamming out to The Gap Band’s “Outstanding” like a Tiny Desk concert and described Democrats as “washed up,” but damn they never looked cooler. Total self-own.

Flávio Bolsonaro has been banned from leaving Brazil and ordered to surrender his passports following his presidential election defeat, amid investigations into suspected influence-peddling, money laundering and other alleged financial irregularities.

Anonymous@youranoncentral.bsky.social

Brazil's, Trump backed candidate, Flávio Bolsonaro faces a corruption inquiry over R$134 million sought from jailed banker Daniel Vorcaro, who is also linked to suspected influence-peddling involving associates of election court chief Kassio Nunes Marques.

Remember when Ted Cruz and other Republicans swooned over Russian military ads to mock Biden and our “woke” troops? An estimated 1.5 million Russian casualties later, Ukraine is still standing. Turns out cosplay tough isn’t real tough

🚨THIS COULD BE HISTORY: Hakeem Jeffries says Democrats are “on the verge of taking back” the House — putting him within striking distance of becoming the first Black Speaker in American history. We’re close. Now let’s finish the job. Volunteer. Organize. Vote. 🇺🇸🌊 #VOTE

After a neck-and-neck race where the future of the Amazon was at stake, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won a historic reelection victory on Sunday. Hedefeatied Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of disgraced former President Jair Bolsonaro, and earned a record fourth term.

Feels like a metaphor for Elon Musk

the beggars out of here getter@milesklee.bsky.social

In July, an incensed Elon Musk vowed that Grok Imagine would produce a "full-length" and "historically accurate" adaptation of Homer's Odyssey to put Christopher Nolan's woke version to shame. Three months later, we got seven minutes of slop that Grok itself admits is not historically accurate.

1/ Yelling at people online hasn't moved anyone. But look at what happened this year. Hungary, Serbia, and Brazil all saw record numbers of people show up to vote. The difference wasn't louder arguments. It was people talking to people they already knew. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

I don’t think we should get used to a man this wealthy, this full of hate and this willing to demonize a small minority having so much power in our economy and in our politics. To defend democracy, we must defeat the oligarchs.
