History’s first Trillionaire was made while people are wondering how to afford food and rent. While people are barely getting by, autocrats and rich technology billionaires set our planet on fire. From Brazil to Brussels ,from France to India people are marching in the streets. WE ALL SAY ENOUGH

“People are demanding action on rents, the cost of the climate emergency and about how we can bring people's bills down and yet what we're about to see is just the same old.” Hannah Spencer on the government's approach to Wednesday's Budget, speaking at the Cost of Living rally.

>>Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel.<< This is ironic! 100% hypocritical of George Monbiot who appeased and grovelled to pro-Israel Zionists by attacking Greens for their resolution "Zionism is racism". He believes that Zionists have "legitimate" grounds for displacing Palestinians.

Lula "We cannot have monstrously huge corporations earning millions & billions, paying no taxes to this country & trying to steer this country's election results." So many countries have this problem and need to slay this beast.

From Lula’s victory speech. Hard to argue. 🇧🇷 “We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. We cannot have monstrously large corporations earning millions and billions, paying no taxes to this country and trying to steer our election results.”

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

We’ve never learned this lesson in the UK. We still have to listen to the ‘legitimate concerns’ of a bunch of racists and fascists.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Another ludicrous gas bag in Downing Street. The point of being Prime Minister is to make decisions. By all means seek a mandate by including substantive proposals in a Labour manifesto but ducking the issue by handing it over to the ignorant is what got us in this mess in the first place.

It would be incredibly useful for a country like Brazil to just outright ban Facebook and x. Show it can be done. Or at least apply regulatory standards that hucksters like musk and Zuckerberg can't meet. Make them rack up the fines every time some nazi posts.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.
