“Winning over voters who abstained or cast null votes, and flipping as many others as possible, is at the heart of Lula’s strategy as he tries to do what no presidential candidate has ever managed in Brazil: overturn a first-round defeat like the one he suffered to Bolsonaro on 5 October.“

Reading the news, it would be easy to believe that the Green Party has adopted a policy to expel its Jewish members, prevent them from attending synagogue or at the very least scrutinise their activities outside the party. *None of that has happened* 🧵

New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran. Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.

Ms. Rachel: "Ed Sheeran had an opportunity…Instead he caved to people who refuse to accept what the world knows." "If more than 20,000 white children were killed…everyone would be shouting…Treating some children's lives as less worthy of outrage is racist. Silence during a genocide is not neutral."

Can I get from Tottenham to Nottingham using only public bus services?

I like it and I think I De Zerbit.

New in PN: Transgender athletes are a red herring "None of this discourse happened bc there is a new high-profile trans athlete in the news. Instead, Republicans are starting a culture war to rile up their base, co-opt Dems into agreeing with them, & push trans people out of public life altogether"

This is the coverage of Arday **just in the Telegraph** in the UK. This is only the first four pages of results, just in one outlet.

"Sources with knowledge of the scheme say the intention was for Infantino to become the chief executive or commissioner after his presidency, with a basic salary — before any bonuses — of $30million (about £22.2million) a year".

Energy bills are soaring, & the King is making profit at our expense. It’s medieval! King Charles says he cares about the environment?! I’ve signed the petition to demand the Crown Estate lower fees on seabeds and make wind farms more affordable to build. Will you join me? act.gp/48TINlv

Fuck you, Argentina.

Vamos!

@gunnerblog.bsky.social glad to hear you’re going to Pequod’s. My mate from Chicago took me there when I was in town last year, and it was great. But heads up, it’s very easy to over order and then over eat. 😂

What have you got for me Switzerland.

There’s a weird shop not far from me and I’ve never EVER seen anyone inside.

Blue Labour will say “better to turn Camden into a marginal in order to win Barnsley” and then get absolutely destroyed in Barnsley.

A retweet by Zack Polanski is now the main story across every single media outlet. Two days ago, it was revealed that Nigel Farage failed to disclose a £5 million gift from a crypto-billionaire. It gets nowhere near the media attention, for straightforward political reasons.

The Green Party propose a 1% wealth tax on people with over £10m that would bring in £50-60bn a year for our Public Services. RT if you would like to see it.

palantir should be viewed as the enemy of modern society

Long thread, apologies. Some of you who know me know I have a neurodivergent child who used to be a passionate Arsenal supporter. During the pandemic he had some very difficult times, Arsenal became nearly impossible for him to watch and root for, it created too much anxiety and emotional stress.

Zohran Mamdani said he's going to start taxing rich people who buy luxury housing in NYC but don't actually live in there, and the former CEO of Twitter/X called it "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen."

Trump's followers on Truth Social are calling him the Antichrist after his post of an image depicting himself as Jesus

I’m gonna be honest, I don’t really get this whole real wages adjusted for inflation stuff, but I do get graphs like this

The US-Israel war on Iran has emitted 5 million tonnes of CO₂ₑ in its first 14 days. The world currently has 0.6 million tonnes of novel and permanent CO₂ removal (CDR) capacity annually.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

I can listen to this on a loop all day long, lol. 🤣🤣

They are going to invade, occupy, annex, kill &/or displace the Lebanese whose home is this land & not a single Western leader will utter a peep. Instead, the west will continue to crackdown & criminalise anyone objecting

BREAKING: government’s decision to proscribe Palestine Action under terrorism law ruled UNLAWFUL This matters for everyone. For years, the right to protest has been under sustained and deliberate attack. Thousands of people have been arrested for something that should have never been a crime.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."
