The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

erininthemorning.comDon’t Vote For The Worst Anti-Trans DemocratsThe Democratic Party should, and likely will, win big in the midterms. We must not send the worst anti-trans voices to join them.

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.

Folks will recall Sen David Pocock asking how Yaron Finkelstein's firm - Society Advisory - was awarded a contract by Jillian Segal's office. This was answer.

This is the best advice I've seen for how to do social media. I started using social media in 2019 and this took me about three years to learn. The algorithms reward engagement, so don't engage with 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.

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

I intend to stand on this principle, that trans people are humans entitled to full equality, that we did nothing wrong, and that the rollback of our rights was unjustified and unjustifiable, come hell or high water. It could be years. It could be decades. I'm not budging.

A reminder of how oppressive the patriarchy was in the West 110 years ago. We've come a long way. We owe it to the brave women of the past who faced arrest simply for spreading information about birth control to resist revanchists and backsliders.

This Many Years Ago@thismanyyearsago.bsky.social

110 years ago, on the 26th of October 1916, birth control activist Margaret Sanger was arrested after handing a pamphlet to an undercover policewoman. After bailing out of jail, she went back to assisting women at the birth control clinic she had opened earlier that month. #otd #history 🗃️

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.

But speaking of staying in one's lane, can we PLEASE switch the default position from "It's fine to use 'AI' for this thing I'm not an expert in" to "Yeah, I'd be really skeptical of any use cases and need to see strong evidence that it's okay, but I'm not the one who can produce that evidence"?

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.

Lula has managed to do exactly the opposite of what the NDP did in British Columbia: managed to turn out the voters. Well done to Lula and his huge and successful team!

Adam Schwarz@adamjschwarz.bsky.social

So how did Lula come from behind to defeat Bolsonaro? In short, turnout. Bolsonaro's vote share barely moved. But Lula banked millions of votes from those who didn't vote in the first round & won eliminated candidates' votes. A remarkable mobilisation. Second round turnout is usually below first.
