It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Trumps Nummerngirl Ein paar Gedanken zum peinlichen Auftritt von Audi-Chef Gernot Döllner bei einer Wahlkundgebung des US-Präsidenten. (Spoiler: es ist noch schlimmer, als es aussieht.) 🧵 1/x

An dessen Wahlkundgebung in seinem Bundesstaat nahm Kemp laut einem Bericht des Atlanta Constitution Journal nicht teil. Das dürfte Döllner kaum entgangen sein. Trotzdem ging der Audi-Mann zur MAGA-Party und bedankte sich auch noch brav bei Trump. 9/x

Audi is part of Volkswagen. There’s a bit of a history there when it comes to boosting dictatorships.

Exactly

Americans, please don’t worry about your child coming home from school a different sex. Worry about your child not coming home from school because they were shot to death.

Still scandalous.

If Ken Paxton wins in Texas, he knows who to thank, and we know who to blame. Trillionaire Elon Musk has given $158 million to Super PACs to help keep Paxton afloat. That’s an outrageous amount of influence for one individual to wield. Our democracy should not be for sale to the highest bidder.

Doerkson's only answer at the debate on housing was basically to become more NIMBY. What a joke.

Ok ihr eröffnet einen Strickladen in Hessen, wie nennt ihr ihn?

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.

A reminder that Blacklock's is a bullshit 'news' organization.

Mike Johnson threatens us with a good time: "If this group took over, they would turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body. They'd spend every day investigating the president, the first family, the cabinet, donors to the party, leaders of business ... "

. @arminwolf.at bekommt einen Preis und ein Taxler sagt den wichtigsten Satz des Abends. Naturgemäß. „Man muss schon ein bisschen Anstand haben“, sagt Dimitrios Papatsetsilas, und das ist im Grunde das Relevanteste, was es zu diesem Thema zu sagen gibt. Gratulation! www.arminwolf.at/2026/10/13/f...

Wishing you and yours an absolutely amazing Indigenous People’s Day. 🪶✊🏾✨

NEW: GOP Gov nominee Victor Marx told backers on a Zoom call last night that he doesn't regret slamming his wife into a door to teach her a lesson about self-defense. "I'd do it again," Marx said. Marx says she fake cried and physicality is just the nature of their relationship.

Das gilt übrigens auch für Grüne und NEOS: Wenn ihr dabei zusieht, wie der Vizekanzler wegen mangelnder Bereitschaft zur Medienkorruption von zwei Familien, gegen die wegen Verdachts auf Bestechung ermittelt wird, in der Öffentlichkeit vernichtet wird, hat nicht nur die SPÖ ein Problem.

Treason. That's what it is. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Today, 8 years ago, my friend, Saudi Journalist and Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @mluckovichajc)

Für mich ist das Problem nicht (nur), dass das JobCenter einem Rentner das Geld abnimmt, das er mit Flaschenpfand gesammelt hat. Für mich ist das Problem, dass in einem der reichsten Länder der Erde Rentner fucking Flaschenpfand sammeln müssen, weil die Würde des Menschen ein Scheißdreck zählt! 😡

"Why should Canadians trust Americans who have twice elected someone they consider a venal, dangerous buffoon? They could excuse them for being 'tricked' the first time. But electing him again, by a bigger margin the second time, tells them all they need to know." — @brynntannehill.bsky.social

Funny, because the Truckers got three weeks to hang out before police lifted a finger. Interesting.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

A pyramid scheme I can wholly endorse. This is fierce and funny, and deserves to be shared. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #notothenine

Da ist im Prinzip für jedem was dabei. 😂

was Mark #Carney hier anspricht, geht weit über 9/11 hinaus. Ich muss nicht alles an seiner Politik mögen - aber er hat etwas ganz Wesentliches verstanden: Welche Wirkung kleine, persönliche, spontane Akte der Menschlichkeit haben können:

WAPO: “.. The Associated Press is advising its reporters and others who follow AP style to continue referring to Lake Ontario by its original name, despite President Donald Trump’s order to rename it Lake America last month ..” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

Trump wasn’t at Ground Zero. But these Canadians were. Story: buff.ly/APBgnQN

To every reporter who stands there as Trump shouts down one of your (almost always female) colleagues with insults and bullying behavior without standing up for them -- you know the rest of us can see and hear you, right?

I do absolutely totally agree with Lawrence Martin: www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Step by step.

This substation in the Westend in Vancouver is a scandal. Taking away a playground, 80+ mature trees, digging up the only park in the heart of the WE; being exempt from an environmental assessment. All really bad. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Trump promises a $5000 dividend if GOP keep control of House And Senate. Trump also promised a dividend for DOGE cuts we never got. Trump promised a "dividend" for his tariffs we never recevied. He promised lower gas prices, no new wars & an "amazing" health insurance plan. None of those happened.

This 👇 Here, MAGATS........

This anecdote is so powerful: At a brewery in upstate NY near the Canadian border, the owners say Canadians aren't coming there anymore due to Trump's insane attacks. "We miss our Canadian friends," they say. From @zackbeauchamp.bsky.social on the pod. Transcript: newrepublic.com/article/2152...

It started in Canada, & it will ignite the world over. Boycott the US! They spew bs about their greatness & how they never need what the rest of us have. So give them nothing. Don't give them a penny. #BOYCOTTTHEUS #BOYCOTTUSCARS
