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.

Republicans broke everything.

53 pages of rape accusations against Trump!

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

"Not your friend" Anti-cop posters seen around Berlin

Something weird happened at the Klan meeting today.

Looks like people who got some weird hand thing on Twitter are letting us know on here they use Twitter. Thanks.

argentinian TV roasting the fuck out of bolsonaro LMAO - the loser speaks - family tradition: complaining about the results - a classic: the right alleges fraud

gotta say hats off to all the writers pretending to do profiles of Silicon Valley CEOs just so they can add that one same paragraph, every single time, that demonstrates they're all insane freaks who do not know or like their own kids.

Really seems like a mask slip moment for the skinsuit set. Maybe I'm built different but I do know 3 things I like about my own kids. Fuck it, I held a stranger's fat little baby for 3 minutes last week and I could easily give you 5 things I liked about that excellent little gentleman right now.

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."

Some ground rules that have helped us: - Go outside your bubble, try new social media channels - Don’t underestimate the power of WhatsApp (although less so in the U.S.) - Post on the Instagram grid, not just stories - Watch every Instagram video until the end before sharing - IGNORE THEM

After the first round elections, Congressman André Janones created a WhatsApp channel titled “Lula’s Army.” It ballooned to 10 million people following his commands on how to behave online to counteract Meta’s far-right-favouring algorithms. The right knows how to use socials. We must learn, too.

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’s win is the first good news for the planet in a while! I bet it shaves a tenth of a degree off how hot our earth eventually gets, which will save millions of lives Thank you Brazil!

The Pax Silica initiative is being opposed by a broad coalition of civil society, indigenous, environmental, farmer, and student groups

Anti Trump posters seen around Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines where Trump is set to arrive in November for the signing of the Pax Silica initiative, a US-led technology and artificial intelligence supply chain agreement.

No nation or company or anyone should ever trust Starlink again.

Republicans and their bigotry are way too expensive for The United States of America.

The “religious right” is today what it has always been, a get rich quick scam and nothing more.

22. At the same time, the evangelical claim to biblical authority is facing a crisis of credibility. Trump's sadism has pulled the mask off to reveal the true nature of "the religious right": a reactionary movement that cares about God to the extent that he can be used to achieve its goals.

We’re seeing a constant stream of mainstream media articles about MAGA cult members changing their views because they’re personally getting hurt by this criminal administration, and it’s difficult to express how little sympathy I have for them.

Fuck your entire racist country

Is it THANK A REPUBLICAN DAY again already?

I’m definitely down for my tax dollars feeding kids and not paying for tacky bullshit monuments and propaganda.

LOL, well okay.

Seizing Elon Musk's assets and trying him for treason would not be the first time in history when enemies of America from among the wealthy saw their fortunes confiscated.

Dozens of reports now that Tennessee voting machines have been rigged by the state's GOP to make it impossible to vote for any other than GOP candidates. This story is viral in British media, but not in the US. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

nobody stopped Musk before he broke the state monopoly on violence, so now either he goes or the nation-state does

They don’t build. They don’t respect history. They don’t protect anything. They just break everything they touch out of pure arrogance and incompetence. At this point, no one should have a shred of patience left for this clown show.

US garment workers helped pioneer multi-ethnic labor unions, which united people across racial, religious, gender, linguistic, and cultural divides. Also native-born citizens and immigrants. I think about that sometimes when I see people suggest such divides are unbridgeable.

Via @popular.info, here are the corporations backing the pro-child rape Ramaswamy: substack.com/inbox/post/2...

no amnesty

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

You wanna “never forget” something, let it be THIS.

These stories always fry me because how are you a married adult and still booking flights like a broke 22 year old just taking two middle seats in the back of the plane bc they're the cheapest and hoping that someone will be nice enough to switch with you. In this economy???

You can't hold me accountable for not anticipating the bad thing that happened just because I was actively ignoring all the people who told me it would happen.
