Terrible results from #Brazil: In the 1st round of the presidential elections, #farright #Bolsonaro leads #Lula 47-45 (2nd round Oct 25) In the Congress & Senate, the #farright is crushing & displacing the traditional conservative sector, all but crippling the prospects for progress in coming years.

A million people on the streets of #SaoPaulo in support of #Lula, the day before the first round of #Brazil 's presidential election. Lula leads #farright candidate Flávio #Bolsonaro - son of ex-president & coup-plotter Jair Bolsonaro - by a whisker. The election is likely to go to a second round.

Nice piece here packed with information about the tech-fossil-CCS nexus that has become more clear in the past year www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2026/09/25/d...

$Two Industries, Two Problems, One Big Carbon Capture Scam AI data centers are incredibly energy-hungry; by 2028, they may command as much electricity as 55 million households. Already, 40% of data center energy comes from dirty gas. The AI boom is already driving the construction of new gas-fired power plants and keeping old power plants on life support. This is creating a real credibility issue for the tech industry’s unenforceable climate and environmental pledges. The fossil fuel industry has a different problem. They need new customers to justify massive new pipelines, new power plants, and fracking. CCS is the bridge between these two destructive industries. It’s providing Big Tech a new fig leaf and the fossil fuel industry a massive new customer base.$
