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.

“Trump effectively has nothing left to lose on the political front — and his political bankruptcy has freed him to become his worst self, indulging himself by doing what he always wanted to do — which includes supporting corrupt, murderous dictators.” paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-traito...

“If Stalin and his Cold War successors could see what Trump and Putin have created, and how the mighty United States has been humbled and humiliated, they might think that their evil hopes were not wrong, but only that they dreamed them too early.”
"A world in which the White House is allied to the Kremlin was, until now, the stuff of paranoid fiction. Manchurian candidates and red presidents were fantasies, dark tales Americans told themselves like ghost stories... "But this alliance now exists." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Russia's KOSMOS 2612 executed multiple burns to intersect that orbit of the US-owned ICEYE-X36 satellite, which is currently supplying information to Ukraine. Today, the Russian satellite passed within 26 meters of the US satellite. Will Russia attack a US satellite? Will Trump care?

“Trump, with nothing left to lose, will be free to be his worst self — a malignant narcissist who instinctively supports authoritarians and is preoccupied with revenge against anything and anyone that threatens his fragile grandiosity.” paulkrugman.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...
This is disgusting behavior by Musk. Not only is the throttling likely causing unnecessary Ukrainian deaths and betraying our national interest, but his dissembling (trying to blame Trump, then hiding behind false technical issues) is sheer cowardice.
This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine. The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.

Two babies died. An 18-year-old with measles died from a rare complication that caused inflammation in the brain. At least six infants have been born infected with measles. There’s no way to predict which kids will get hit hardest.

Unbelievable and yet so believable with the Trump regime.
Trump administration refuses international election monitors for first time in over two decades The decision not to invite observers from the OSCE puts the U.S. alongside Russia and Belarus, while the Justice Department prepares to deploy its own poll monitors.
