On paper Netanyahu has gone down to a crushing defeat But, absurdly, he is still in power this morning because the opposition refuse to ally with Arab-Israeli politicians Piece from me on playing the far-right’s game

If Israel's current exit polls hold, the parties representing the Jewish center will have to make a choice: partner with Arab parties or else keep Bibi in power. A pretty clear metaphor for the choice facing Israel more broadly.

It is reported that Jared Kushner, the arriviste son-in-law of Donald Trump, was paid $50 million by the UAE in 2017/2018 to get former Sec of State Tillerson fired. (He was indeed fired.) A good reason for Europe to refuse to engage with Kushner's "diplomacy" ❌❌❌ newrepublic.com/post/217201/...

Brazilian lawmakers from Lula’s Workers’ Party have requested the arrest of Bolsonaro and an Interpol Red Notice over fears he has fled the country.

Similar to what happened in Hungary, Serbia’s RTV-1 publicly apologized to viewers for years of one-sided and uncritical reporting. Presenter Goran Er(r)or said the public service had failed to ask the right questions and had not fulfilled its role. #Serbia

The Iron Law of Trumpism is that he will betray you. Guaranteed.

Ukraine has launched its first satellite, OBRIA NANO, marking a step toward building its own communications network. The test satellite was developed by Ukrainian defense tech company Himera in partnership with Danish firm GomSpace. It is now in low Earth orbit and undergoing tests.

Nothing says "the media manufactured the Russia hoax" than going on a hunting trip with one Russian oligarch right after another Russian oligarch had paid for your wedding.

Trump’s “only real, authentic pleasure is in cruelty…It is that cruelty, and the delight it brings them, that binds his most ardent supporters to him, in shared scorn for those they hate and fear: immigrants, black voters, feminists and treasonous white men…” www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/o...

I don't have much hope for Israel whoever wins but Netanyahu is one of the most disgusting politicians of modern times. He represents all of his country's foulest instincts. It can't even begin to recover until he and his fascist ministers have been rejected

Netanyahu going full Trump. Must be looking bad for him.

He keeps hinting in his speeches that there are going to be some big surprises next week and a couple people in his administration are going to be remembered in history books. It seems like no one really knows what to do with that information so it’s just passing casually

As in Hungary, the authoritarian regime in Serbia is being dismantled . “For years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly, and failed to ask the necessary questions. For that, we owe our viewers an apology,” news anchor Goran Eror said.

Another story impossible to imagine in any other administration: the president's son goes hunting with a Russian criminal who is part of Putin's security entourage

Trump was "an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of young women in the 90s” according to a report issued today by Dems on the House Judiciary Committee. The report includes one new rape allegation against Trump, and calls for a special investigation of the Trump administration's cover-up.

The Dark Triad: Trump, Musk, Putin. The unholy alliance trying to reshaping global politics. broligarchy.substack.com/p/the-dark-t...

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.

What an incredible night last night. To see the resistance against populism triumph in two such different countries, in two such different ways.

6 months after Orban's election defeat another Putin supporter is exiting. Serbia's Aleksandar Vučić decisively lost the elections last night, after being 14 years in power. The opposition of teachers and students will take the lead.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Our strikes did not affect global prices, of course. Russia's diesel exports are almost nothing in global terms. We talked about it — around 2%, something like that. The other 98% comes from other exporters.

The shift away from the US continues. Ten countries have now signed on for Macron’s Forward Deterrence initiative, including the UK, Germany and Poland, WSJ reports. Under the plan, France would station nuclear-capable fighter jets across Europe as trust in the US erodes.

Different countries, different elections. But a year that has seen Orbán, Bolsonaro and Vučić defeated (and the GOP likely routed at the midterms next week) doesn't exactly fit the narrative of a relentless rightwards shift. Good candidates, campaigns, movements can still win.

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.

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.

If possible, the Trump admin is having a worse year geopolitically than Putin. They've trashed their influence by alienating old allies and failing to keep (Hungary) or gain (Brazil) new ones. But at least the Kremlin and the White House have each other.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cmgelnrd4r3jt

Lula is to my left. Magyar is to my right. And I don’t care in the slightest, because they are the candidates of democracy against autocracy.

Gonna have to offer Bolonsaro the apartment next to Assad's

More educated municipalities moved towards Lula, less educated towards Bolsonaro, compared with 2022

With Israel going to the polls this Tuesday, I can't imagine the news cycle out of Brazil and Serbia is particularly cheering for one Binyamin Netanyahu.

"Today was the best day for global democracy in quite a while“, writes @stevelevitsky.bsky.social re. election results in Serbia and Brazil. This graph shows why. Between 2012 and 2022, 🇧🇷 #6 and 🇷🇸 #9 had some of the steepest LDI declines in the world, in the same group as Hungary, Turkey and India

Lula pulled it off. Don't much like the guy but heck more better than the alternative. We are 2 out of 2 with Serbia. Israel to go

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.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

This is a beautiful, beautiful thing
