Brazil is voting today, and while the presidential election is likely to go to a runoff — the results are a clear and significant shift to the right since the 2022 election and set up Flávio Bolsonaro very well to oust Lula in the October 25 runoff.

If Abbott is re-elected down here, maybe a congressman Bobby Pulido runs in '30. It would not be the first time that Texas has had a musician governor.

Man, even with Brazil doing a lot right (convicting and imprisoning a traitorous far right president), it still has to deal with the far right movement he left behind, which has picked the traitor's son to challenge the lefty incumbent.

Fun facts: Chris Rufo’s grandmother was an Italian immigrant who, I’ve heard from a reliable source, never learned to speak English fluently. Rufo’s wife meanwhile is an immigrant from Thailand. And the director of the Manhattan Institute who employs him? The son of Muslim immigrants from Bangladesh

The media upset that the monster they coddled and cultivated has finally started eating them. They wanted Trump back for the access, book deals, eyeballs and clicks only to watch ratings drop, books flop and Trump dog walking their asses anyway. Trash ass media getting exactly what they deserve.

Just found out Erin Reed is maintaining - I won’t link it but it’s on her site - a list of electoral campaigns (by Democrats) she actively encourages trans people to abstain from and tell others to abstain from. This is *insane*. This is an active sabotage campaign with no upside.

Trying to manage these people as if they're standard participants in a multicultural democracy misses the point, because they have no interest in multicultural democracy or being one component of it; they want a system that treats them as a privileged class lording it over everyone else.

This description of far right German voters seems very familiar: "AfD voters are, for the most part, people with a social Darwinist worldview. They have no problem at all with the injustices in society. Their only problem is that they themselves aren’t at the very top."

German chancellor vows to stay in office despite AfD triumph in state election
Friedrich Merz said his conservative CDU was shaken ‘to its very foundations’ after far-right victory in Saxony-Anhalt A “shocked” and chastened Friedrich Merz has vowed to stay in office despite the far right’s triumph in a state election that has brought anti-immigrant, pro-Kremlin politicians within striking distance of power. The German chancellor, appearing ashen-faced in front of reporters in Berlin, said on Monday that the landslide victory by the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) in Saxony-Anhalt had shaken his conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) “to its very foundations”.

A lot of people *need* Dems to be incompetent and evil because if they actually aren’t, then that means those people might have tricked themselves into helping the GOP. So they make shit up that Dems never said and accuse them of believing it. It’s literally a delusion of self preservation.

The next 'No Kings' will be Oct. 17 and is a nationwide but community-specific mass mobilization to the voting booth. It was clear — to me, at least — this is what it was building to all along when everybody was writing "it doesn't matter if you march in the streets with a sign" think pieces. (1/2)

The thing about Hasan Piker is that he was designed in a laboratory to be the next Sister Souljah, and far more deserving of the title than she ever was, I might add. Every Democrat in the country can score millions of free points by putting this dude on blast to prove their non-whackjob bona fides.
