I’ve been pretty disheartened at how little coverage and attention Trump’s attacks on the environment and our planet have received so going to start a thread to keep track of as many as possible. 🧵👇

Republicans are clearly not voting and would need one of the largest E-Day mobilizations in history to prevent a wave. This country always finds ways to disappoint but consider me extremely skeptical that a party speedrunning Bush 2.0 is going to defy gravity and pull that off.

Probably not enough to actually flip Florida given it’s basically Subtropical Missouri at this point but it bodes extremely well for the rest of the country. Republicans are straight up not voting!

just pretend the 🤢 cars 🤢 aren’t there

These people really need to make up their mind whether conflating Israel and Jews is antisemitic or not because they sure love doing it to defend Israel

Lula won by 3.5% and 4.4 million votes lmao not even all that close

We still have a week to go but Republican turnout is awful right now. They could be saved by a surge on E-Day but that would mean a huge change in voting behavior AND voters coming out in droves for the president with ~35% approval. Would be completely unprecedented.

Both of New York’s senators refused to endorse Zohran as the Democratic nominee and a year later he’s one of the most popular politicians in the country lol

Incredibly telling he says this after Brazil and Serbia’s anti-authoritarian victories and not when right-wing candidates have won around the world. The best proof yet that his “worldview” is just being reflexively against and annoyed by whatever people on social media like.

A lot of centrists would be much better off and happier if they just admitted that Arab guys on airplanes scare them and that trans people weird them out instead of pretending that it’s all just political disagreements

“The government shouldn’t be involved in this” is such an easy answer on both trans issues and abortion that appeals to many libertarians and right-wingers but no we need to call trans women “men” because highly-paid consultants said so

Tonight is one of those nights where you can see glimpses of a better world for all of us

If we could have had a second election in November 2024 and asked everyone “are you REALLY sure you want to do that?” maybe we wouldn’t be here lmao

America next

Just think of how many right-wingers in America lost money tonight too

BoLOLsonaro

MAGA Latinos in Florida having an awful week

You just hate to see bad things happening to the Bolsanaro family and right-wing nutjobs

Bolsonaro, Trump, and Netanyahu all in prison by the end of the decade 🙏

How did Lula flip so many voters in a few weeks wtf

I know betting is really bad but I put down $50 on Lula at 18% odds and it might net me $200+ (sold some shares early to hedge).

Not an overstatement to say Lula winning could save the planet by protecting the Amazon

Lula might have this????

I'm going to start this thread on the presidential count in Brazil—so people who are interesting can follow along. With 3% of vote counted, Lula up 51.3 to 48.7 (that's a lead of 103K). Pattern in 2022 & in R1 was Lula down big at 1st, then closing gap, but that's shaken up by today's 2-hour delay.

Okay why have Lula’s odds surged

It’s really this easy. You don’t need to sell out trans people because consultants tell you to do so.

oh my god they’re cooked

Fuck this lady and all the other shitty Michigan Democrats

There has been a Bruce Blakeman ad during every single commercial break for the Saints/Steelers game lmao

I just really, really want a bunch of right-wing chuds on the internet to lose a lot of money on Election Night

I fully expect there to be plenty of Ossoff-Jackson voters so we obviously don’t know how the GA-Gov race is going to turn out but man this is looking like a turnout collapse for Republicans. Just AWFUL numbers for them.

I find it extraordinarily hard to envision a scenario where high turnout is happening and that’s *in favor* of the party overseeing economic disaster and a massively unpopular war. And if that is the case, then American is truly and forever cooked lmao

what is that Republican rural turnout omg

I know we shouldn’t overreact to early vote, but we are seeing indicator after indicator that Republicans just are not voting. Maybe they are taking their sweet time and waiting but probably not? And undecideds aren’t going with the party in power when everything sucks!

The right-wing coping over bad early vote indicators is eerily similar to how we all sounded in 2024 lmao

I will always be cautious after 2024 but let’s be real: New voters aren’t racing to the polls to vote for the party that got us into a horribly unpopular war on top of everything costing more and the vibes being rancid. A wave is happening, just a matter of a wave or tsunami.
