honestly prosecute merrick garland too

i took down my old post because of a spelling error, which is less embarrassing than losing the election and immediately having your passport confiscated because you are being prosecuted for massive corruption. i hope Jair and Flavio grow old together in whatever prison hospital has the worst food

Oh wow

the biggest presidential scandal in history but the political media largely acts as if it's not happening. hasan piker has received more mainstream political media coverage over the last 6 months than trump's connections with epstein has

its insane how not many people are talking about how republicans with the help of several moderate democrats are building out the largest abusive medical conversion therapy operation in modern american history

So much to say about Brazil, not least of which is the role that Erika Hilton, a Black trans leader and most voted woman politician in Brazil, played in mobilizing folks for Lula. She was behind the critical, concrete, economic promise of shorter work-week. theprint.in/feature/erik...

"Both top-shelf reporting and top officials in the Trump administration, including Trump himself, have said that Musk made this decision on his own. That would be treason. The traditional way to figure out the truth of such a matter is with a trial." prospect.org/2026/10/26/d...

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.

Many comments on the great election victories in Brazil and Serbia state that the authorian right is in decline or that voters have rejected far-right authoritarianism. That is a wrong interpretation of what happened. Progressive movements mobilized and beat the authoritarian right. That's different

Oh my god, he just was in Coyote V. Acme as like, half the cast—way, way too soon. Feel awful for his family. 😣

Meanwhile, pro-democracy, pro-Europe protesters in Tbilisi, Georgia, are tonight nearing their 700th consecutive day of protest against the pro-Russian government. They haven't missed a single day in the last 23 months.

A Texas in-person voter experienced a problem with a touchscreen voting machine. She selected a candidate, but the machine switched her selection to another candidate. She then pressed her desired candidate FIRMLY with her finger to make the machine work properly. #USDemocracy #MomSky #Texas #TX

what the fuck is wrong with this lady

you're goddamn right you guys did

it's a family tradition now

So Lula not only won, he basically doubled his margin of victory from 2022. I'm guessing he won thanks to voters who didn't love him, but were terrified to see Flavio given near-dictatorial power. It's going to be a messy next chapter for Brazil, but at least it'll be a fight, not a curb-stomping.

The thing about this is that Trump's 2024 victory was always built on irreconcilable messages that were going to collapse once he actually had to govern. Deport everyone, but also deport only the "criminals"; no more wars, but also more belligerent, more isolationist, but also more pro-Israel.

Brazil extended voting hours in lieu of the attempts at voter suppression seen today. We'll know the results soon enough. I hope for all our sakes Lula wins.

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

Absolutely maddening to see the corruption in real time and then also see BlueAnon losers in the replies trivialize it by pretending the same thing is going to happen here "but worse"

buddy, i think i might know where you went wrong

I'm quite willing to forgive this from a 27-year-old. Welcome to adulthood! A little late to it but happy you're here regardless.

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

i come from Cheesecake Factory people and let me assure you, people who LIKE the Cheesecake Factory do not consider it "fancy"

Incredible gender difference in voting intention in Brazil.

I said in this interview that life as a trans person in 2026 Britain is "terrifying", but I honestly don't really feel "terrified" so much as I feel "terrorised". And the industry I work in carries much of the blame.

it really is amazing how accurate the “do you support both Palestine and Ukraine” litmus test has proven to be

suspicious that this documentary about Hitler doesn't delve into the crimes or Mobutu Sese Seko

I know we shouldn’t overreact to early vote, but we are seeing indicator after indicator that Republicans just are not voting. Maybe they are taking their sweet time and waiting but probably not? And undecideds aren’t going with the party in power when everything sucks!

Progressivism is about change. We need to change how we use land as well. This will be disruptive. It will also be mostly good. But this is where I fear the most for the future, quite nakedly

Freedom of movement is the most fundamental human right; everything else is built on top of it. The 20th century was a campaign to smother that freedom and we should not let it win
