The massive magnitude of today’s selloff in Brazilian assets is less about Brazil’s underlying outlook and more about just how confident—and wrong—the consensus view on finance was with respect to a Bolsonaro win. #brazil #lula #bolsonaro

America, don’t let Elon Musk buy our country out from under us. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

After already exploiting her estranged, evil mother for cheap political points, this tape removes all doubt about who he is. When politicians show utter contempt for survivors, they reveal how they view everyone they wish to rule. Reducing survival to “complaining” is vile even for him.

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

As we try to restore access to the No Kings instagram today, this is what I am thinking about.

Tech oligarchs pulling every lever to steal our country from us. They won't succeed. NO KINGS NO SLAVES NO NAZIS

Perk of being in the same American Academy of Arts & Sciences class as Jodie Foster -- yes, we talked about Carl Sagan, Contact (and my friend Bill Nye)

Somebody said "They voted for racism and got poverty" The thing is... social scientists and economists have been saying for the last 50 years Racism is austerity

An important thing to note in this period of fascism is that fascists are historically not good at government. Their entire shtick is "oh yeah? Well that's so-and-so's fault." Actual governance requires you to have a solution that is not "well let's fuck those marginalized guys up."

Trump is on Putin’s side. Always has been. Trump is actively helping Putin kill Ukrainian men, women, and children. Donald Trump is a traitor and should be treated as such.👇

It’s corrupt Ken Paxton and his sugar daddy oligarch Elon Musk v. Talarico and tens of thousands of people giving $10-100. Choose your brand of democracy.

The Iran War has drained America’s strategic petroleum reserve to its lowest level since 1982.

Zelenskyy: “I told Trump: If you enable Starlink access inside Russia, we can quickly destroy their ballistic missile launchers. Putin would come to negotiating table, and I wouldn’t need to destroy a single energy facility. But instead, they shut down Starlink.” As they say, "from RU, with love"

Slavery was and is a real thing that has brutalized hundreds of millions of people over the course of human history, if someone tells me a fucking chatbot is enslaved I'm immediately throwing hands. It's not cute, it's not intriguing, it's an insult to real people who suffered and suffer now.

James Talarico just summed up the entire midterm election in one sentence: “We have an affordability crisis because we have a corruption crisis.” That’s it. This entire election comes down to affordability vs. corruption. Which one are you voting for?

Two points I want to make about this: 1. Democrats should immediately threaten to deport Elon Musk and Melania Trump for *actual* immigration fraud once they retake power. Don't @ me about how we're not like them. Do politics. Make the threat. Force Republicans to react and defend their decision.

This is WILD! GOP Rep. Andy Harris lost it on reporters after debating Democrat Dan Schwartz in Maryland. Harris threatened to involve prosecutors because one journalists in particular was recording him. #BlueWaveIn20Days

Trump has been Putin’s bitch for at least a decade. If you can’t or won’t see that, then you’re too stupid to be talking about foreign policy.

Stupid people not thinking through the details. No doubt racism is playing a big role, but many also don't have a good concept of the past. Probably without exception, everyone reading this is living an objectively better life than the most wealthy or powerful 1% of 1939.

For the umpteenth time: Hillary was 💯 spot on, absolutely correct about Donald Trump 10yrs ago.👇

The president of the United States is a puppet of the war criminal and thug who rules Russia, writes David Rothkopf.

lmao these guys are all such betas

There is, writes @davidfrum.bsky.social, an "implicit quid pro quo in these lucrative deals offered to Trump’s family and friends: If you compel Ukraine to surrender, we will enrich you beyond reckoning" www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Ukraine took out 2 huge data centers, and just like that--POOF! Pro-Trump/MAGA posts on US social media plummeted. Same happened to posts boosting Germany's far-right AfD. The primary function of those Bots is to boost groups Putin believes will destabilize the west. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

This is such an absolutely damning graphic. So much of the discourse online is simply Russian espionage aimed at destroying the democratic world order. Musk is absolutely in cahoots with this as X relies on that traffic to appear relevant.

Ossoff is one of the very few people adequately channeling Evelyn Normielib these days the base doesn't want to hear entreaties to our better natures, they don't want to go high while the other side goes low, they want someone to come on the TV and go "these people are garbage" he's good at it

(and that is what so many college students seem to have lost track of: the part where college is the most elite and expensive brain gym ever invented, and somehow now they think that watching videos of bench presses is the same as doing bench presses)

A very important read. Both in the specifics of what these 5 women had to endure and as an indication of the unscrupulous tools and tactics that oligarchs, businesses, and the Trump WH have at their disposal to try to control the public narrative.

one of the deepest sicknesses in the world are the people who feel personally attacked over other people getting the same rights as them

Yer another example that LLMs are pattern generating machines that store the full content of the entire training set replicated via encoding in the model parameters.

The Russia Plague:

I think you start by impeaching someone whom GOPers hate, like Whiskey Pete. See how that goes in the Senate. Given THEM someone to scapegoat for losing their majorities.

It’s batshit to me that the far left think they can win national, statewide, or even local races across this country w/out building a coalition that includes moderates. I’m a progressive. But I know calling moderates names doesn’t win them over, it just shrinks your coalition.

Beautiful! Plus, you can bet Trump will just be fuming for a full week if he learns this.

Not to repeat the obvious, but this is literally lawless behavior that makes a mockery of the Constitution and judicial system, should result in contempt prosecution for anyone involved, and disbarment of any lawyers
