I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM
i mean, the US by way of Argentina is a tried and true route for fleeing Nazis
There are multiple unconfirmed reports that Bolsonaro fils has fled Brazil and may be in Argentina on his way to the US. The facts remain unknown but it figures that Trump's America would be a refuge for election losers facing money laundering charges. colombiaone.com/2026/10/27/f...

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.
Kavanaugh stops in action: ICE tackled a non-verbal kid near his school, left him with injuries requiring surgery, and then left the scene when they realized he wasn't the person they were looking for www.independent.com/2026/10/23/i...

you know, if progressive Canadian politicians are too stupid to put in proportional representation because they're too power hungry to put up with minority government, or ranked voting because they think it's too complicated for voters, they should at least bring in run-offs to force majority votes.

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
We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.

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
Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

This interview has almost 1 million views in four days and has generated a big new wave of interest in "The Nerd Reich." Here's how I explained tech fascism to DW News (German public media) on a windy beach near the Golden Gate Bridge. 🌉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=2176...
i am not prepared for an America that actually comes around just as this stupid province saw what was going on down there and thought hmm i wanna try some of that
Saw this in Carbon County, Utah. A place known for coal mining and one of the most Republican places in the country. I don't know if I've seen anything more indicative of the cultural vibe shift.
