Bolsonaro had planned to flee to Argentina right before his passport was confiscated

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

the biggest presidential scandal in history but the political media largely acts as if it's not happening. hasan piker has received more mainstream political media coverage over the last 6 months than trump's connections with epstein has

Who do I give to to get this in front of as many Michigan voters as possible?

JEFFRIES: “.. we’re going to hold him accountable in the same way that we held Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem accountable. .. And Pete Hegseth needs to be pushed aside by the president, or we’re going to have to deal with that situation if he is not.” www.politico.com/live-updates...

Serbia also remains one of Europe's few remaining buyers of Russian natural gas, underscoring a dependence that leaves Moscow supplying about 80% of its total gas imports. Therefore, the question of sanctions against Russia is likely to remain one of the most sensitive tests for the new government.

Serbia, an EU candidate country since 2012, has faced mounting criticism from Brussels over stalled reforms and remains one of the few European countries that has refused to join Western sanctions against Russia since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Vucic swept aside in Serbian elections. Can Belgrade break free from Russia’s orbit? The Student List — an electoral alliance formed by Serbia's anti-corruption protesters, bringing together 250 academics, professionals, and public figures — won almost 53% of the vote.

Defeating the global incumbency curse when people have every reason to be furious at the status quo is hard. And it requires making clear who, exactly, is behind our woes and that you will fight with all your might for working people.

This is why I'm not actually on board with the whole Save Mass Effect thing. I deeply love ME but saying "please Saudi backed EA, now that you've destroyed the studio that made these games, farm out the IP to some one else to limp on in some barely recognizable zombie version" ain't it. Let it die

This has to happen to every member of the Trump administration @schumer.senate.gov

CNN Correspondent Claims it Seems Like Trump Is ‘Setting the Stage’ for Jan. 6 ‘2.0’

Brazil reminded the world that when people stand in solidarity with one another, we can beat fascism & authoritarianism anywhere. Congrats to President Lula & the Brazilian people on this monumental victory. The Trump Administration must respect the results & Brazilian autonomy.

I of course loved him as Chekov, but playing Bester on BABYLON 5 really showed his range. You really forgot the guy ever *was* Chekov in that role. RIP Walter Koenig.

interesting

It’s like they WANT to find out how “real” this anger is.

The video games industry works by laying off employees. Any video games produced are only an incidental side-effect

The undeniable outlines of this are far worse than any society of adults should tolerate.

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.

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.

It should be illegal for the President, VP, and lawmakers in Congress to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.

The US is not about to have a free and fair election. The state has put its thumb on the scale to favor the ruling party in multiple ways. It's a mostly free, somewhat unfair election. But still one where the ruling party can be overwhelmed by numbers. Hence the term "competitive authoritarianism."

Nothing and no one should stand between New Yorkers and their right to vote — least of all the government.
 Early voting is happening now through November 1. Election Day is November 3. See you at the polls!

Meanwhile, pro-democracy, pro-Europe protesters in Tbilisi, Georgia, are tonight nearing their 700th consecutive day of protest against the pro-Russian government. They haven't missed a single day in the last 23 months.

And the lesson is that, despite his flaws, he had a committed focus on improving the lives of ordinary working people in tangible ways, he was uncompromising in opposition to fascists, and when he lost the first round he used it to motivate his supporters to throw everything at the second round.

And again, it's worth noting that this happened despite Lula being an incredibly flawed candidate. His son and some of his key political allies are embroiled in genuine corruption scandals. He's 80 years old. Crime is incredibly high. But he's won despite those flaws. There's a lesson in that.

The Bolsonarists didn't change their minds, they didn't suddenly stop believing that their man could do no wrong and that Lula was an existential threat to Brazil. They were simply outvoted by those who refused to risk a return to fascism, and decided not to sit this election out.

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.

Mike Rogers got caught on a hot mic planning voter suppression, and Abdul El-Sayed called it out on the debate stage:

The Tridrogon FIK version supports scaling now! It's almost ready

oh people gotta be partying HARD in the streets of brazil tonight

Lula Goes HARD

You could not waterboard this confession out of me, much less get me to put it in an interview. Can you imagine her kid's middle school enemies getting wind of this? "You suck so much your mom needed Chat GPT to say anything nice about you."

if voting didn't matter they wouldn't be working so hard to stop you

Hungarian PM Péter Magyar: "I have just spoken by phone with the leaders of the Students List, who won the elections in Serbia, to congratulate them... I assured them of Hungary’s support. I was delighted to hear how much strength our victory in April had given them during this difficult struggle."

Luckiest break for the planet since Trump sent the whole to renewables by losing a war in a few days.

Not that it's any of my business telling another country's president how to do their job, but I think Lula should immediately start arresting a lot of people.

WE DID IT. I CANT FUCKING BELIEVED WE DEFEATED USA WE DEFEATED A COUP WE DEFEATED META WE DEFEATED EVERYONE WHO TRIED TO SILENCE BRAZILIA PEOPLE LULA WON GUYS. THE PEOPLE WON.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.
