Conservative local governments are sabotaging the election in Brazil with unannounced fleet reductions or total shutdowns of bus service. In São Paulo 29% of buses haven't run. In Salvador's Águas Claras Terminal there were no buses service at all at noon (📹 @silasque on Twitter):

The New York Times wrote articles that were like "the impossible-to-characterize elusive politics of Elon Musk / he's lost interest in politics" right before he became *literally the largest GOP donor in history* the next election cycle. Twice. Two times!
This would be the most any person has donated in any election cycle. And #2 is also Musk, in 2024.

"Freelancers carry a disproportionate share of the risk in war zones." "43 of the journalists and media workers killed in 2024, more than a third of the total and a record high, were freelancers." "The following year was deadlier still." #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #Media #Labour #Genocide
None of this will teach Blue MAGAts not to support Puerto Rican statehooders
www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u... Herrera Velutini's family gave Trump's lawyer $50 million. This is perhaps the most egregious of the Trump admin's pay-for-pardons scheme. The fact he kept Puerto Ricans from seeing our governor in jail makes me hate him more.

The epidemic of Ebola - the 2nd largest reported and likely to become the largest ever - caused by Bundibugyo virus, is continuing to expand. I’m in Nigeria presently and unless an international response kicks into place, the current trajectory will continue with (many) more countries affected.
Not a great sign, but a lot will depend on the details here. For instance, if the patient really came from Uganda and not DRC via Uganda that suggests there is spread in the country that is being missed. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

death sentence for Puerto Rico and probably the majority of the US
BREAKING: Trump's head of FEMA just told states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. The Trump admin's disaster chief told state officials they must increase their financial reserves and emergency capabilities to handle most disasters on their own — without federal help.

We need to start asking Evangelical Christians over and over if they disavow the Terceiro Comando Puro
Q: Will you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood? El-Sayed: Yes. Why are you asking the question? Do you assume that I wouldn’t? Q: Yes, because I have not heard you disavow them yet. El-Sayed: Have you disavowed them? I have not heard you disavow them yet.

Hoy fui a Plaza y le preguntamos a gente que dónde estaban tal o cual cosa. Una nos dijeron que cerca de donde era el Burger King de Sears. Otra que donde ponen el árbol de navidad. Y otra que al otro lado de las estatuas de los niños... que quedan en la fuente, que lleva ahí 50 años, dime la fuente

“Puerto Rico is a nation that was invaded by the United States in a war of expansion and has been held as a colony for over a century. Statehood would reward the US ... Colonies should be liberated, not subsumed by the empire that claimed them.”
