Lula wins 4th term! I love it that Lula’s win is terrible news for Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil's former criminal president who is serving a 27-year jail sentence for his botched power grab and hoping to be freed to be given a role in government had his son prevailed. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Like me declaring I hereby refuse to certify the results in Mississippi... who the eff cares? it's irrelevant, illegal, frivilous

“D.O.J. making this claim this late smells of political interference and is against D.O.J. policy. The feds have absolutely no authority to tell Alaska when and how to certify. The state officials are following Alaska state law, as the Constitution requires.” so shame on NYT giving credence

Both audience members got it completely right 👏 We can't rely on Trump's America, and for the sake of our own security, we must rejoin the EU 🚨

If the world has learned anything from the fascism that grew like a cancer before WW II, it’s that gross inequalities of wealth lead to strongmen who destroy democracy and freedom. The behavior of billionaires like Musk & Thiel illustrates how that works.

Fascinating to watch people *still* fixate on whether Polanski should resign as Greens leader because of a by-election loss, after doing relatively well in what used to be a very safe Labour seat. On what basis? Farage has stood for parliament eight times.

The Republican Party is on the side of Russia against Ukraine. It’s not me saying that, it’s their cult leader. bsky.app/profile/atru...

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.

There were hella empty seats. The photos show them. The reporting was accurate. And Trump’s response isn’t to prove the journalists wrong — it’s to demand they be ARRESTED for reporting something he doesn’t like. Read that again.

If we started talking about pandemic preparedness, then that would expose the criminal misconduct of the previous administration(s).

The theory was that a large crowd outside the police station would deter the police from pressing charges, so that Mr Thomas would be released tonight at 11pm. This has not worked, as the police have charged Mr Thomas, remanding him to appear in court in the morning

Donald Johnson is 81. He has driven over 200,000 miles delivering lost luggage as his wife Josephine has cancer & he needs to pay her medical bills. “It’s the only job that will hire me.” Vote blue for a country where 81-year-olds get to care for their wives. #BlueWaveIn40Days

In the late 70s/early 80s economies shifted to a "neoliberal" system. Low taxes for the rich and their corporations, deregulation, cut govt, leave working people on their own against the wealthy & powerful. Corporations were "unleashed." We are in the age of consequences. Climate crisis /1

The president banned reporters for asking questions. He can’t defend his record. And if you can’t take the heat, then get out of the kitchen.

The law is that “Although the WH is not required to open its doors to the news media, once it establishes press facilities for credentialed journalists, it cannot deny access based on the content of a journalist’s coverage.” That's exactly what Trump is doing. joycevance.substack.com/p/its-a-nice...
