'Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.'

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Brazil just stopped the right-wing wave. Serbia sent Vučić packing. Hungary showed Orbán the door. The world is sending strongmen home. AMERICA, IT'S YOUR TURN! Trump says he's on the ballot. Take him at his word. Vote early, or on Tuesday, November 3. 🇺🇸

HELLO?

Trump opened a hotline to report people who defraud the government. Meanwhile, he's pardoned 70+ fraudsters — including a nursing home owner who stole $1.3B+ from Medicare and Medicaid. Many pardons only came after their family members gave to Trump's Super PAC. Hello?

NOBODY feels fear as acutely as a malignant narcissist facing an unraveling of their false and fraudulent constructs. They suffocate without their grandiosity. Diminishment. Paranoia. Enfeeblement. Mortality. He's in a narcissistic nightmare now.

NEW AD: “Ken Paxton says I don't have his experience — and he's right. I’ve never been indicted for fraud. I’ve never been reported to the FBI for bribery. I’ve never been impeached by my own party. And I’ve never given a sweetheart deal to a pedophile.”

'13% of Americans regret voting for Trump, that number jumps to 23% of Independents, 22% of Hispanics, and 20% of voters under the age of 30. Few Harris voters regret their choice.' 🧵⬇️🧵

We're just released our 17th Annual American Values Survey at @prri.org! There is a lot to unpack, but here are 6 major takeaways from me--especially how they pertain to the midterms. prri.org/research/dar...

Politics in Mississippi can be this simple: A senator tells voters to "pick another protein." Her opponent, Scott Colom, answers with a food truck run by his wife and daughters, giving away free tacos at campuses, housing projects and community events. Its name? The 'pick your protein taco' 🌮

Trump is siding with a WAR CRIMINAL and turning his back on America's longtime allies. This is a tragedy. Action is needed NOW. Where is the outrage?

We are witnessing the disgraceful attempt by the United States to make Ukraine break so that Vladimir Putin can declare victory in his disastrous war. Donald Trump is an open puppet of the Kremlin. The United States political, legal, military and media establishment are along for the ride.

KANSAS, LISTEN UP! Trump is in Park City (near Wichita) tomorrow, Monday, Oct. 19. SHOW UP and let him hear it: America does not side with Putin. Siding with the aggressor is BETRAYAL of Ukraine and of our allies. Don't hand Trump the mic. Tell our own story, loud and peaceful! Drown him out!

The gaslighting is exhausting. You won. You control everything. Stop telling us to fear an imaginary Harris presidency and start explaining the one we actually have.

Lankford: "You can think about where we would be right now based on where Joe Biden was leading us if Kamala Harris would've won and we have had a Democratic House and Senate ... completely different future based on the last election."

Watch this ⬇️🔥⬇️ "There is a lack of bravery... I think the NYT should be writing a headline that says that Donald Trump is assaulting democracy. And the avoidance of saying that directly is not good for the news industry. And it is definitely not good for the American people. "

Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social

This morning I re-watched my video argument with the NY Times' Patrick Healy, and it's clear that the Times believes if it says explicity that the Trump regime is assaulting democracy, that would undermine its work to investigate how the regime is assaulting democracy. What an absurd position.

There’s a photograph from January of 2021 that still makes me angry to look at. Donald Trump and Kevin McCarthy side by side at Mar-a-Lago, smiling for the camera, a week after January 6th. The moment that was tweeted out, Trump’s political career came back from the dead. (link in comments)

🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.

20 years ago, Anna Politkovskaya was murdered for speaking truth to power in Putin’s Russia. She exposed the brutality of war. She gave a voice to its victims. And she refused to be intimidated into silence. This cost her life. But her memory is carried by so many to this day.

If Bolsonaro wins in the runoff election, Latin America's largest economy will join Argentina, Peru, Chile and Colombia in lining up behind Donald Trump. Indeed: depressing.

Micah@rincewind.run

the brazil thing is so depressing because they did the right thing, man they did what we couldn’t, they actually prosecuted their coup and threw bolsonaro’s ass in jail and generally showed the united states what a functional state looks like and now they are gonna elect his dipshit son? really?

I hate it so much. This can happen to you too. A year ago, almost everyone doubted this would happen. I had faculty at other schools telling me I was hysterical. (Irony!) Watch for the installation of right wing figureheads without an academic background. Watch for assaults on faculty governance.
