Let us not underestimate how Lula's re-election in Brazil is actually also a defeat for Trump in the US. So much propaganda & smear campaigns to get a far-right regime back in government. He has a tough road ahead, but still a victory for the left jacobin.com/2026/10/... #Brazil #Trump #Lula #Left

jacobin.comLula’s Win Is a Defeat for Donald Trump and MAGAJust as it has throughout Latin America, the Trump administration was openly working to defeat a left-wing government in Brazil and replace it with a far-right one. With Lula’s victory, Trump failed.

I tend to agree with these sentiments; the working class absolutely needs to mobilise in order to defeat the right and the capitalist system. Fighting for a third party option is very powerful and needed for the left in my opinion www.leftvoice.org/wo... #ClassStruggle #Leftism

leftvoice.orgAgainst the Far Right: Building an Independent Working-Class Alternative to the Blue Wave - Left VoiceTo defeat the Far Right, workers and youth must organize independently against deportations, war, and austerity. Their electoral alternative should strengthen those fights, not hand them to the party that helped create the crisis.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

So for those of you who don't know I tend to use Bluesky and Mastodon side by side. One thing I love about Mastodon is the 500-character limit and being able to edit posts. So @bsky.app when are you going to follow suit?

I've officially been vegan for 8 years today. No regrets, none whatsoever. I realise a lot of my online activism lately has been primarily focused on leftism. But I'm still vegan for the animals & I still think veganism is an admirable philosophy #Veganiversery #CrueltyFree #Vegan #AnimalLiberation

He's more interested in his performative outrage than actually addressing the issue of the Triple lock honestly and in good faith. The leader of the Irish government needs to get his ego in check and do what is right for the people.

Hot take: if your politics only show up when it's comfortable, that's not solidarity — that's branding. Show up when it's inconvenient too.

I think, with consideration of pressures from conservatives and AI in general, things are bound to change amongst workers in the tech industry. The level of corruption will become too great for such workers not to organise a movement against such abuse jacobin.com/2026/10/... #Organising #Leftism
