I want to share my vision of a Calmer Future: how we'll live our best lives, freed from economic and social pressures – even as populations rise and fall how we'll give nature space to thrive, and have time to enjoy it a sustainable future on Earth, supporting meaningful lives and livelihoods…

Thousands reportedly detained. Protesters allegedly held in remote locations. Women alleging sexual harassment by officers Nidah Kaiser, Prannv Dhawan & Sabah Gurmat argue Delhi police response to Gen Z protests shows how autocratic policing works: force, mass detention, then criminalisation Link👇

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

This article does not discuss one major reason why chocolate in the West got worse - Ghana and Ivory Coast, the two African countries that are the biggest suppliers of cacao globally, got organised and started demanding fair prices for it. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

it me 🤗

The Lula administration should use his new term to tackle chronic human rights problems, including addressing the record high numbers of killings by the police and other public security problems. Learn more: www.hrw.org/news/2026/10...

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

it wasn't Lula who did it it was the people who won

If your reaction to hearing someone is asexual is to wonder why they need to label themselves at all then you truly have no idea what it is like to be asexual. Sit with that. Or go enjoy a world that is catered to your experiences, feelings, and identity, and don't bother ever talking to us again.

QUE EMOÇÃO! Tudo valeu a pena 🌟💗😭

My partner is Brazilian, and honestly, watching the WhatsApp ‘Lula’s Army’ stuff has been so inspiring. Against all odds, against Meta, against fascism. This gives me so much optimism

VENCEMOSSSSS PORRAAAAAAAAAAQQQQQQQQQQQ

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

I still carry around a tote bag I got in 2018 from the "Lula Livre" encampment outside the prison in Curitiba where he was being held. And here he is today winning again, against all odds. What an extraordinary politician.

Zuckerberg defeated in Brazil election.

called it!

Maybe the greatest organising I have seen in modern times. Mind blown

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

I’m scared of jinxing it, but holy shit Lula is winning by about 3 million votes so far 83.7% of votes counted

Who needs 22 secs of Binx purring? (And a couple toy rattles I was trying to move it quietly!) #cats

The Student List had no party machinery. It operated through university assemblies, protests and hiking between cities & towns. They had 2% of national TV political advertising airtime vs 93% for Vučić. This is one of the most remarkable grassroots democratic victories in modern European history.

with the partisan voting interference, I think this margin should rise with the places reporting later hoping to sleep better tonight 🤗

ah yes fascists

I've seen enough Duck wins by a streetch

Just for European observers focused on Serbia tonight and maybe glancing over to Brazil, perhaps the wildest developments next week might be in Venezuela

EVERYONE GETS A PUPPY

whoever 'wins' this will leave a deeply divided nation (I want Lula to win, but thinking about what comes next, given how poisonous the divides are)

Claude, why do I like my kid?

Check out how easy this is.

this may be the most coincidently significant series of elections that I can remember. They seem to be asking the same question: are we going to let objectively hateful people win?

hope and renewal

Hungarian PM Péter Magyar: "I have just spoken by phone with the leaders of the Students List, who won the elections in Serbia, to congratulate them... I assured them of Hungary’s support. I was delighted to hear how much strength our victory in April had given them during this difficult struggle."

Getting reports of rage and frustration in the north east of Brazil - a Lula stronghold - where people weren’t given access to polling stations despite the extension of voting time. What a poisonous night.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving his construction crew to work when an ICE officer shot and killed him in Houston. He wasn’t even the person ICE was looking for. Now Texas voters are leaving their “I Voted” stickers at his memorial. #BlueWaveIn10Days

I wonder how Belarusians will react to this

Brazil will get more attention either way it goes, but this is truly an incredible victory for the student protesters. We ran this in March 2025, which explained the movement's strengths but seemed overly optimist in the months that followed. 18 months later, they succeeded. Gen Z strikes again.

Incredible. Student List are candidates selected by groups of students to form an anti-corruption party. Another youth-led movement overthrowing an authoritarian government in Europe.

and beyond

Y'all! My 15 yr old was showing me a game she learned on school where she had to mime a topic. I gave her "australopithecine collecting food" and she started to walk cross-legged, cause she remembered I told her about the laetoli A footprint tracks....proud parenting moment!

More shocking displays by Bolsonaro supporters in the last 24 hours: voters wearing T-shirts that say “long live fascism,” doing a Nazi salute when entering the polls, and a white man walking a Black man on a chain at a pro-Bolsonaro gathering in Rio de Janeiro.
