This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

Lula’s win means the continuation of his climate and environmental policies, rather than a pivot to the hands-off approach of Flávio Bolsonaro

"Zéro déforestation d’ici 2030" : la réélection de Lula relance les espoirs de l'Observatoire du climat du Brésil.

So how did Lula come from behind to defeat Bolsonaro? In short, turnout. Bolsonaro's vote share barely moved. But Lula banked millions of votes from those who didn't vote in the first round & won eliminated candidates' votes. A remarkable mobilisation. Second round turnout is usually below first.

NEW: Trump is a Russian asset. And the UK government is finally waking from its decade-long slumber Read this. And order a wind-up radio. broligarchy.substack.com/p/the-dark-t...

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

Elle a dû confondre avec l'histoire de Claude #Hermant, ex gros bras du #FN, militant d'extrême-droite identitaire qui avait vendu des armes automatiques au terroriste islamiste de l' #HyperCacher. Cette histoire-là, par contre, est vraie, mais on n'aime pas la rappeler sur #CNews.

When Trump says the Ukraine does not want to end the war, what he is really saying is that Ukraine does not want to surrender to a deal that he has worked out with Putin which would see the Ukrainians hand over more of their land and people. Speaking the truth is important.

You know how you can tell people who are still wilfully denying reality? They're telling you Trump has recently changed course, become more pro-Russian, or pivoted against Ukraine. This is nonsense. Trump has been with Putin throughout. Its just the press failed to see it.

Being Black in America like being on The Truman Show...

Folks, I know it’s easy to get excited about all the polls showing Democrats ahead and feel like this election is a done deal. But we can’t take anything for granted. That’s why I’m urging you to take part in a No Kings early voting event today where you live. https://www.nokings.org/

“I was brutally attacked by 50 masked men… they just kept kicking me and kicking me…” Jewish @washingtonpost journalist Heidi Levine describes getting attacked and robbed by West Bank Israeli terrorists (backed by the IDF & 🇺🇸 taxpayers)

Est-ce que quelqu'un ici voudrait voir à la présidence française une personne qui soutien et cautionne les activités d'un terroriste, et qui admire son sang-froid ? ? #FranceElection2027 #Election2027 🤢🤢

They carried those signs in silence through Grand Central Station. Their red cloaks come from a story where women lost every right. Their names. Their bodies. Their choices. Their voices. You deserve to keep every one. #VoteBlue

"I do not have the luxury or the privilege to sit there and be civil with people who do not acknowledge my full humanity." Do not sit down with these people. Pie them, like Thom Higgins did, and tell them to fuck off, like @monaeltahawy.bsky.social does. Anita Bryant died a bigot.

"Inviting Putin to the upcoming G20, permitting him to sit at a conference table with leaders of countries he is attacking, and pretending that he is entitled to equal status as an accepted member of the international community is simply wrong."

Katie Zacharia sat on the advisory board of an organization that calls for women who have abortions to be executed “in the public square,” and for pro-choice Americans to lose their right to hold public office.

“The monster is so hungry it might attack, unless you sacrifice one of your villagers” is a classic fairytale

Après l’Institut de l’Entreprise, c’est au tour de Terra Nova de vivement critiquer la feuille de route budgétaire du Rassemblement national pour les cinq ans à venir, en cas de victoire à l’élection présidentielle.

Zelenskyy: "When our strikes reached Yandex data centers, it suddenly became little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. Many people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, fewer provocations because there were fewer bots. It's pretty clear where those bots were coming from.

We’re having a Wizard of Oz moment on social media right now so pay attention. Yesterday, Ukraine attacked data centers belonging to Yandex, Russia’s biggest tech company.

Just thinking about this as the state harasses Ilhan Omar over 40 year old paperwork.

Executing a search warrant while early voting is underway in Minnesota, on an old, moldy "crime" is all you need to know about the motivation here. Absolutely no reason not to wait until the second week of November. It's abundantly clear that this is about politics, not a legitimate prosecution.

Demonizing Democracy The Right has long derided any attempt at leveling racial and social hierarchies as anti-American “socialism” or “communism.” What they are actually fighting is equality. Some thoughts from my new piece: 🧵

Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

Now THIS is how you write a story. Devastating.

Ninety years ago today, Oswald Mosley tried to march his Blackshirts through the Jewish East End. 🧵 He had thousands of uniformed fascists behind him and 6,000 police clearing the way. But the people of the East End got there first.

Economic violence against women through the use of digital IDs is a growing, rarely recognized problem in Denmark and across Europe, reports Polina Bachlakova.

Eiffel Tower chief to quit after female staff replaced by men during religious visit

Jordan Bardella semble mal parti. Au vu des statistiques judiciaires, Médiapart n'a jamais perdu face à un politique qui lui faisait un procès en diffamation.

Looks like Hiroshima

US social media companies are interfering in the Brazilian elections in favour of the Far Right’s Flávio Bolsonaro. Meta is the latest. It’s just blocked the campaign account of President Lula in the final stretch of the election.

If you watch one video today please watch this. The story of how the people of Orillia put the run on the Nazis is a model for putting the run on hate. Please watch and please share. @meidascanada.ca youtu.be/rf6Aw3CdIcg?...

In response to our reporting, Susan Collins has mustered a defense that is full of incorrect and misleading claims. We’ve reviewed FBI evidence, examined thousands of pages of records and interviewed dozens of people. Here are the receipts.

Millions of Americans will take action on October 17 to make it clear to the regime that we won’t sit by while they threaten to sabotage the midterms. Join a No Kings event to drive massive early voting and recruit tons of volunteers to help protect our elections: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Latest piece. It’s bad enough that Chinese leadership mocks the US openly in the White House, however the real problem is that they did this once before and then went on to help Iran rebuild its military. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/its-not-th...
