get in loser we're getting Reconstruction right this time

In a scathing opinion, Judge Ana Reyes concludes that the Trump admin. had settled on a plan to turn East Potomac Park into the elite golf course Trump has been wanting to see built in D.C., all while DOJ represented in court that nothing happening, including DOI felling 400+ trees, was related.

I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.

DANCING INTO THE WEEK WITH THE RHYTHM OF BRASILIA

Have you even once considered that perhaps he is typing out his burial shroud for Natalie to print! 😤

Cio Cio shut herself in the bathroom and basically had a multihour silent retreat?! I didn't know she was in there, not so much as a peep out of her. I opened the door for a wee and she just stretched, yawned, and walked out. I'm gonna to regret this, but I need her to be a little more obnoxious.

One benefit of holding leaders accountable for crimes is that if Flávio Bolsonaro tries to overturn this election, he knows exactly where he’d end up. In prison, next to his father.

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.

between serbia, brazil, and hopefully november 3, a good reminder: voting works it’s not the end, there’s always work to be done after the vote, but if you want to beat the motherfuckers and keep them out of power: vote your asses off

That nepo tried every dirty trick in the book and STILL lost. Maybe we won't boil ourselves to death after all. My goodness. Lula!

Google’s data center brings wolves. “We had wolves coming into the village because all the wild animals moved out of the forest,” 53-year-old Otanmäki resident Anni Ranta told the Guardian. “They fled.”

Voting times extended by two hours in Salvador as the Labour Party tries to get extensions in more affected cities. The party is urging people to vote but the truth is that this criminal transport interference will have caused a massive loss in voting among the largely pro-Lula working class.

544 buses stopped in Bahia! Only one bus per line on the streets of Teresina, a capital with a population of almost a million! Metro stoppages in São Paulo with no replacement buses! No buses in São Gonçalo, a city in the state of Rio governed by the far-right!

We have never seen anything like it before. Proven Meta and U.S. interference in the first round; now this criminal voter suppression in the second round. The far-right loves calling corruption when they themselves are against democracy when it benefits their side. This is torturous to watch.

There is blatant voter suppression happening right now in Brazil: flights cancelled and buses suspended to Northeastern capitals where Lula holds the majority, polling stations changed to thousands of kms away last-minute, voters in London told they need to go to Edinburgh… This is criminal.

We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.

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

good lord, things in brazil rn, with lula lodging allegations of serious voter suppression folha.com/h1vgnw6l

Metaphors are dead

interestingly this interest in black voters doesn’t extend to the republican effort to deprive them of federal representation, nor do they seem interested in asking whether republican candidates are burdened by the fact that trump talks like a klansman

Donald Trump is a fascist. Fascists always need an enemy. You could be next.

The next turn will likely sound like Malcolm X with an AI battery in his back. Something something about determining our own economic destiny. You should also ignore that. It’s nonsense.

I’m sure folks know this but you don’t need to know about dual cooling systems to know that you don’t want or need a data center in your community. Additionally, no, we don’t need a Black-owned data center in the name of a “seat at the table.” just to get out ahead on that foolishness.

this is actual WE THE PEOPLE praxis, unlike SecDef's ridiculous tattoo

I found that one Ingram officer was clocking in far more hours and raking in more funds working for ICE than his coworkers, according to paystubs and timesheets I later acquired. Sometimes, he spent an entire 12-hour shift working for ICE.

This is horrific. And unsurprisingly the work of a "conservative" multimillionaire. Other adjectives might include creepy, prurient, dictatorial and abusive, not to mention, of course, transphobic. Once more with feeling: we need to get the money out of politics. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Now that it's stuck in my head, you're gonna get stuck in with me. I keep humming this to myself except the lyrics are "I'm just a SCOOP machine and I don't work for nobody but me" while imagining @marisakabas.bsky.social typing up 🔥 at her laptop

Out today: People with no vote in the white primaries that decided Texas elections of the time, no seat on the boards that ran their schools, and no authority over public education, built 527 public buildings and made the state keep them. Nothing they used was given to them.=

You asked AI for the cheapest flight. It dug through your emails, decided you could afford more, and suggested a ticket costing $100–$200 extra. Lindsay Owens explains ⬇️

Voters in Missouri, Idaho, Virginia, and Nevada will decide the fate of abortion rights in their states.
