37,000 people arrive on small boats. 4,000,000 kids are in poverty. 4,500,000 can't get a dentists. But they will blame these vast problems on a tiny one. They think you are too stupid to know the problem, is them, the greedy billionaires.

Palantir is working with ICE, it uses AI drones to kill innocent Palestinians in Gaza. Why the hell are we giving Palantir our NHS information. Palantir need to be banned from UK Goverment, just like the Swiss banned them from theirs

Lula da Silva's lead over Bolsonaro Jr. narrowed ​ahead of Sunday's first-round vote, while also pointing to a tighter race in a runoff. In a first-round scenario, ​Lula would receive 43.1% of voter support, ​followed by Bolsonaro (38%). Fortunately it's likely that Lula will also win a run-off.

Flavio Bolsonaro: In the name of the father, sons, and holy ideology
The first round of Brazil’s presidential election on Sunday pits two well-known names in the political ring: Lula vs. Bolsonaro. But it’s not former president Jair Bolsonaro facing off against the incumbent head of state – it’s his eldest son, Flavio Bolsonaro. He’s less charismatic than his father but just as ideologically radical as the family patriarch.
