Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.
It boggles the mind that anyone could earnestly believe Netanyahu cares about anything other than his own survival.
He is so nakedly Machiavellian, so willing to do anything—and harm anyone—to stay out of prison, the fact that he even has a chance at a 7th term shows how lost Israel has become.
Days before Israeli elections—and after countless instances of Israeli settlers violently attacking Palestinians and foreign workers in the West Bank—Palestinian gunman just so happen to attack a road junction in Hebron, prompting Netanyahu to promise a full military “lockdown” of the West Bank.
NEW: US lawmakers say the Trump administration is breaking the law by withholding a secret court opinion about the surveillance of Americans, even as it presses Congress to renew America’s most sweeping surveillance program.
I have zero sympathy for anyone involved in this grotesque farce.
When you travel all the way to DC to go to the home of the most infamous fascist in US history and get ushered into his office alongside a videographer and photographer, you know *exactly* what vile game you're playing.
Disgraceful.
Why have the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good and the impunity for their killlers not been an issue in Dems midterm campaigns? I know there’s no shortage of issues but those were defining atrocities of Trump Two which every Republican owns.
Victory for Lula, who has already reduced Amazon deforestation by 70% since 2022, means there is now a chance of ending deforestation of the rainforest entirely
I’m weeping with joy for Brazil, for the Indigenous peoples of the Amazon, and for life on Earth 🇧🇷🌳🌎

NEW: Brent Taylor is the front-runner for one of Memphis’ congressional districts, recently redrawn from majority Black to majority white.

President Trump is planning to open up some of the nation's last pristine forests to road building and timber companies. But those who work in the woods say it won't do enough to revive the industry. n.pr/4yAumMJ
Appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers twice dodged questions about his support for President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.

“There are people who are openly white supremacists that are consolidating power at record speed in such a way that they are stripping away all of the rights, opportunities, and access points for you and your family.
If that don’t move you, it ain’t nothing that I can say that can move you.”
In a little-noticed webpage update, the Environmental Protection Agency has announced a plan to decommission its online web archive at the end of the year, a move that would wipe tens of thousands of publicly available environmental resources from the web.
Lula:
"We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world.
We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."
This thread comes to a close...
... as we now have a final result.
Let the records show that, with 92% of the vote countywide, Lula is up 3.3%. (Can he end up doubling his 2022 margin?)
Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called.
An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.
The cop who shot and killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley at a Walmart in Mississippi has resigned.
State prosecturors declined to press charges against Hunter Foster and said the shooting was justified.
Kohen Wiley's family is calling for a federal investigation. 🧵
Lula’s win is the first good news for the planet in a while!
I bet it shaves a tenth of a degree off how hot our earth eventually gets, which will save millions of lives
Thank you Brazil!
The evidence is very clear: Abdul El-Sayed has no relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood. On the other hand, Mike Rogers does have a relationship, and he voted to fund the Brotherhood's move to disassemble the Egyptian secret police (which was in fact a reasonable position).
wow -- a squirming Mike Rogers gets flustered as Kristen Welker points out that while he attacks El-Sayed over the Muslim Brotherhood, *Rogers himself* defended the Muslim Brotherhood during the same period of time that El-Sayed did!
The U.S. DOD removed online content about Pfc. Ira Hayes, Pima Native American Marine famous for raising the U.S. flag on Iwo Jima in World War II as part of a federal crackdown on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives.
IN PLAIN ENGLISH….THEY ARE FUCKING 100% RACISTS!
If a magic being gave me one wish, it would be to disappear every godforsaken leaf blower on Earth, never to return.
Beautiful fall day ruined since 7:30am by neighbors wagging their noisy janky inefficient machines forth and back. Suburban wimps’ pathetic phallic subs.
Real men rake & broom.
The freeloading, criminal-harboring, misogynist, eco-terror, pedophile Catholic Church, which raises money by hoodwinking gullible poor people, needs to start paying income and property taxes on its vast wealth.
Tax all churches now!
Why should they benefit from a society they don’t pay for?
Catholic Bishops, from a church notorious for raping children without consent, prays with a president also notorious for raping children without consent, get touchy about the White House posting a video of the event [checks notes] without consent.
NEW: Ingram, Texas, was just rebuilding from a devastating flood when its tiny police department enrolled in ICE’s 287(g) deportation program.
Within a year, cops would hand over the equivalent of 10% of the town.

#nycacc wants to murder Gideon!

Please help me! Urgent ‼️
544 buses stopped in Bahia! Only one bus per line on the streets of Teresina, a capital with a population of almost a million! Metro stoppages in São Paulo with no replacement buses! No buses in São Gonçalo, a city in the state of Rio governed by the far-right!
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
conservatives in washington state want freedom and small government in the form of state-mandated genital exams for high school students:

If you’re thinking of buying an Audi, don’t forget that an Audi executive appeared at a Trump rally this weekend to try to boost an American dictatorship. Make your car-buying decision accordingly.
TELL ME AGAIN, EVERYONE SCREAMED VOTE BLUE, HOW THE MIDTERMS WILL END THIS?
A Democratic lawmaker sounded the alarm Friday over at least 18 rural Alaska polling places that were advertised online but hadn’t opened, all in villages the New York Times described as “key to Democratic hopes.”
