the thought of either the UAE candidate or Orban as plausible candidates as Secretary General shows just how much key states want to destroy the UN, the promise of the Charter, & a future that centers human rights.

I asked my cats if they will disavow the Muslim Brotherhood. Their answer was disturbing.

*BOLSONARO: FEDERAL POLICE REQUESTED I GIVE THEM MY PASSPORT

Not only a vital defeat of the far right, but also a win of inestimable value for the planet.

Franklin D. Roosevelt: "The only thing we have to fear is, fear itself." John F. Kennedy: "Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country." Donald Trump: “I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before: Nicki Minaj. That's hard to miss."

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

Oh so a country *can* choose not to make the same mistake twice

The global pro-democracy, anti-fascist movement just notched two major wins today, after Students List in Serbia ousted strongman Aleksandar Vučić and Brazilian President Lula defeated the son of the man behind Brazil’s Jan 6 to win reelection! In 9 days, U.S. next!

I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.

i found out when i saw three pictures in a row of bolsonaro in the hospital

It will no doubt be argued but it's unlikely the last-minute order extending the polls by a couple of hours, and the confused inconsistent implementation of it, affected enough votes to account for a 3.5% margin of victory. It's not *that* close, this isn't a precariously razor-thin win for Lula.

HAHAHA ARE WE REALLY ABOUT TO DEFEAT FASCISM WITH THE POWER OF "FUCK YOU, I VOTED" IN SERBIA AND BRAZIL IN ONE DAY?

Brazil and Serbia did their jobs. We need to do our job come next Tuesday, America.

New week is dawning #MilkTeaAlliance & here's the upcoming events 🧵 We saw this from @niaocollective.bsky.social & these protest swaps were (& occasionally still are something special) another example here of Thai friends w/ Myanmar diaspora protesting the Myanmar Junta in BKK from 2025 1/

⚡️ President Zelenskyy proposed three alternatives to US partners to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries: an energy truce, Starlink access over Russian ballistic launch sites, or additional Patriot missiles. The US rejected all three, prompting a sharp reaction from Kyiv.

Check out how easy this is.

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

josh turek sucks, there is no reason whatsoever to be doing this other than a truly unacceptable level of personal bigotry

documentary is secretly about how if you rope Nathan Fielder into a contract he doesn't like he will spend essentially infinite effort getting out of it

did you know the IRS hasn't actually measured tax evasion in over a decade? due to lack of budget and workforce, the IRS is incapable of performing the random audits necessary to estimate tax evasion they've been forced to reuse the same numbers from 2016

I’m not inherently anti-AI but I am anti what AI companies appear to think I want from AI.

...Billy you recorded the main track for "BATMAN & ROBIN" and you were on "THE SIMPSONS"

"So when they tell me, 'but his name is Abdul.' I'll remind them, 'His name was Barack.' We stand on the shoulders of giants."

What I wrote about Gavin Newsom a year ago is never more applicable to several Democrats today. I foresaw this coming, and I continue to hold this true.

You need to get out and vote and drag your friends and family. This is the time. Please repost

Boston people @scarnecchia.net was talking about doing the same. Engage peer pressure as appropriate

it really is amazing how accurate the “do you support both Palestine and Ukraine” litmus test has proven to be

my honest take on this is that if the senate majority depends on a segregationist then it's no majority at all, better he lose and the people's own house stands as the bulwark against fascism

The seals clapping behind him are the same people that fly the Gadsden flag

This is funny to me. Christ is King in bio.

Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández credited our reporting as the catalyst for the Justice for Citizens Wrongfully Detained by ICE Act. We revealed that 500+ U.S. citizens have been detained in warrantless arrests since Trump returned to office.

This new electoral vídeo from Pedro Sánchez is quite something. Standing in front of Guernica defending the anti-war stance of his government, limiting military expenditure, denouncing the atrocity of Gaza. English subtitles.

I should have mentioned that my office is Minneapolis Elections & Voter Services. The Mayor's budget eliminates seven staff members less than two weeks before an anxiety-inducing midterm. No more high school election judge program. No more voter outreach.

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, all three of these guys are talking about Jews

Iran has made no new offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for lifting the U.S. naval blockade, citing an informed source. The source says Tehran is sticking to its seven conditions and will not reopen the strait until its demands are met.-Tasnim

let’s make GORP happen
