I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.

I just think Matt's wrong about this. We're at a point in our technological development where a ton of problems spill over national borders--if Flavio Bolsonaro burns down the Amazon, that will flood houses in Miami.

See bullet 4. That is why my group shows up every single Saturday morning in front of Tesla and Georgetown Washington DC with our silly costumes and our blaring music and we dance, full of joy, against the fascist.

If Americans need our little southern recipe for how to defeat fascism it goes like this: - Put people in the streets by standing for popular demands (wages, healthcare, public services) - Do not engage with fascists online - Do not succumb to doomsayers or media-driven narratives - Be happy

After the first round elections, Congressman AndrΓ© Janones created a WhatsApp channel titled β€œLula’s Army.” It ballooned to 10 million people following his commands on how to behave online to counteract Meta’s far-right-favouring algorithms. The right knows how to use socials. We must learn, too.

This entire thread demands a read, but this part in particular is what i am going to carry forward: a member of congress deciding "you know what, we are gonna fight." Decide to fight. Be visible about it. People will follow you. bsky.app/profile/brun...

Probably the guy who's going to come out of this one looking like a hero is AndrΓ© Janones, a deputy (congressman) from Minas Gerais who just kind of... decided to take the reins of the situation, more or less, and people were feeling so aimless after the first round that they went along with it.

What is true is that this was a conflictβ€”and make no mistake, this was a conflict; this was a protracted battle in a hybrid war, more than anythingβ€”that was largely fought by large numbers of people laboriously working to unfuck the nation's informational environment.

between serbia, brazil, and hopefully november 3, a good reminder: voting works it’s not the end, there’s always work to be done after the vote, but if you want to beat the motherfuckers and keep them out of power: vote your asses off

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever

Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.

References attacks WITHOUT REPEATING CHARGES? This is how you pushback at lies without giving oppo air. Ascribes MOTIVATION, tells us not just what but why Elon is at it? This is how you make your counter claim credible. Uses POISON PARASITE DEFENSE? This is how you get further bang for ad buck.

In MAGA, parental estrangement is a big issue β€” and parents are held out as blameless victims. I suspect that's one reason why Vivek Ramaswamy ran an ad celebrating Amy Acton's vile mother. And why MAGA β€” including Vance and Trump β€” are backing him. www.salon.com/2026/10/23/r...

Once again, silence or capitulation on anti-trans (& all scapegoating) attacks doesn't work. WY company sending teens in TX texts & mailers claiming to be from TX trans rights org to scare their parents that rumors of indoctrination are real. www.texastribune.org/2026/10/14/t...

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine β€” and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

I just early voted in Missouri. Democrats downballot. I did not mark uncontested races. Not one Republican will get my vote, even if they are the only choice. And remember: Yes on 6. The rest are tricks.

This anti-democratic bullshit has been the norm for Republicans. If a Democrat wins a red state, the legislature strips him of all his power. No Dem-controlled lege has ever done this to an R who won statewide.

A good summary here of how much Meta is in the tank for Trump. And a reminder that the authoritarian threat comes not just from within the Trump administration but from its oligarchic allies. Oligarchic power is now a clear and present threat to our democracy. open.substack.com/pub/populari...

Carville’s strategic recommendation last year was for Dems to β€œroll over and play dead.” So, uh, I think the real question is why anybody is still paying attention to this old fool.

Zuckerberg isn't just sticking his tongue up Trump's asshole, he is also serving his own interests by suppressing efforts to make folks get pumped to vote. Billionaires do not want us hanging out and talking lest we take back the tiniest portion of what they've stolen thanks to the regime.

Today's actions are focused on the message of voting early. Therefore, we can say that Meta and Zuckerberg appear to be directly interfering with the election. This is their warning shot. We must make sure they get major pushback for this. bsky.app/profile/ezra...

When Cindy Hyde-Smith was asked about rising beef prices, her advice was to pick another protein. Well, on November 3rd, we’re going to pick another senator. And when I get to the Senate, I’ll fight to bring costs down so working families can afford to put food on the table.
