Hi. I, a trans woman, am the Executive Producer of this show. I wrote the question. He called trans girls men. He has now said it in three different places in the past week.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva wins fourth term, according to electoral court.

Well Lula pulling ahead in Brazil is almost unbelievably good news. Good news from Serbia too. A student-led opposition has defeated President Vucic, whose fright-wing SNS party has held power for more than a decade.

It’s chaos. Bolsonaro’s supporters are doing everything they can to stop people in working-class neighbourhoods from voting. Fewer buses, bus stops spaced further apart, power cuts, polling stations blocked, roadblocks. It’s a scandal. Democracy in Brazil is under threat.

If a Democrat running in *Kansas* can say this, folks like Turek truly have no excuse whatsoever

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

The biggest lie of capitalism is that it is efficient and justly rewards people for their labor and efforts

Still covering Elon Musk as a business mogul and not foregrounding his murderous white nationalist politics is like doing a piece on only the clown career of John Wayne Gacy.

🧵 Matt Yglesias is one of the biggest reasons the Democratic Party leadership is so feckless, cowardly, and lazy. I'm not exaggerating. Yglesias is often a featured speaker at private Democratic Party events, despite almost always being wrong. Let's discuss...

(and before one of you jabronis tells me that pumpkins are not an effective organizing strategy, please remember 1) Doing fun things is good for keeping up momentum 2) Sometimes people need a little excuse to make a post, and a dino pumpkin is a solid excuse)

Good morning At least we have this to look forward too

Friction is so important to creative work that people *add* friction to allow themselves to do it. Just one example: meter, in poetry. You create a framework that restricts you, that limits you, in order to give your thoughts a scaffold within which to build.

Solid metaphor for the entire administration, honestly

White feminists learning how to ally

the idea that empathy is dangerous has been permeating right-wing spaces for a while, but it's not an actual element of their ideology as much as it's a defense mechanism against confronting the reality of their cruelty

Hello! I'm actually living in France not far from the protest.. No FR has NOT FALLEN 😆AND it is not pro palestinians! It's students protesting plus thugs integrating into the peaceful protest creating problems. We've got Elections in 6 months ! There are instigators trying to push the vote RIGHT!!
