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.

It’s never been more clear that racism is a scam perpetrated by wealthy elites to convince working people to blame someone other than the wealthy elite.

Good god.

But the weight of what Alexander was doing started to settle on him late last year. He said he gets flashbacks about a specific traffic stop, when he handed ICE the husband of a woman he knew. It was between Christmas and New Year’s. She was less than 2 weeks postpartum.

Q: Ashley Hinson, who you're campaigning for tonight, says the Ramaswamy ad is 'absolutely terrible' and should be taken down. Why are you defending it? TRUMP: I'm defending it because I know that if that ad was about my mother, you would love every inch of it

I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me, and how many times this would've saved my life.

is one of those situations “DAMMIT i’m in a michael bay movie again”

The bloodiest war (by % of Americans killed) was the Civil War. Do we "certainly condemn" the violence of the Union troops? Even lost-causers admit that killing in order to free slaves is justified, or they wouldn't work so hard to pretend the Civil War wasn't about slavery. God bless John Brown.

Erik Loomis@erikloomis.bsky.social

And we can certainly condemn his violence. But let’s step back and remember just how horrible slavery was. On December 20, 1858, Brown, who had briefly returned to Kansas, led a party into Missouri to free slaves.

Democrats don't pivot right challenge level impossible. Like, why not... try? ... to go left. That's why anybody was even excited about you. The right knows it has the candidate it wants (in the GOP). The left knows it doesn't. Undecideds know you're an opportunist. You *had* energy behind you.

Carl Quintanilla: Real average hourly earnings down 0.7% on the month, that's the sixth straight month... Jim Cramer: Look, rich people are making a lot of money. God, I sound like Marx. I really don't want to sound like Marx. It's just, look at the data.

🔥 @jumaane.bsky.social : “They’re going to try to make the gentleman they shot the worst human you’ve ever heard of… a father picking up his child was shot by a rogue agency controlled by Trump. That’s what occurred. He represents evil. He is doing the Devil’s work.” #AbolishICE

"Unharmed." Not hit by any of the bullets.

An ICE officer fired at least seven rounds into a car on a crowded New York street Thursday afternoon, city officials said, wounding a man while a 5-year-old boy sat unharmed in the back seat.

Post your profile pic: This was the Godzilla movie my brother and I always watched growing up: Godzilla 1985 (1984 in Japan). It terrified me, but I loved it. Lifelong Godzilla fan, ever since. I don't post a pic of me because they either have my kids, or they'd make my account look like LinkedIn.

Post your profile pic: @allycatraz.bsky.social and Silent Bill. Fifteen bucks, little man, put that shit in my hand.

Bowman: Socialism is whatever grievances we've got cooking right now.

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

Sir Ian McKellen orates 'The Stranger's Case' from 'Sir Thomas More' by Shakespeare about the Evil May Day xenophobic riot of 1517 in London. This passage was written 400 years ago, but times never change. Humanity refuses to change its unwarranted bias against 'others'.

People have gotta stop projecting their values and motives onto politicians. They're not like you. They would gladly let you watch your children die of hunger or bombs if they thought it would win them an election. They already do this thing. Your life isn't different from the ones they destroy.

Absolutely 💯 Agree…. If feeding a hungry kid accidentally benefits an "undeserving" kid, I am prepared to live with this devastating outcome.

We're witnessing the Rapist-to-President and/or Rapist-to-Supreme Court Justice pipeline with this Cornell scandal.
