In August, the Trump administration flew 12 Somali immigrants to an ICE facility at Guantanamo Bay. “Nobody tell us that we’re going to Guantanamo Bay,” Sakariye Abdi Mohamed told journalist Amanda Moore in a phone call from the detention facility. “Just like kidnapping.”

This particular phrasing keeps ringing in my head

Lula Goes HARD

Alli DeJong@allidejong.bsky.social · 2d ago

Lula closing this election by saying that no sniveling nepo baby who never worked a day in his life was going to stand there and call him Nine Fingers when he lost his finger WORKING and how dare he insult the workers of Brazil… was about the sickest thing I have ever seen in my life

LULA REELEITO LULA REELEITO LULA REELEITO LULA REELEITO LULA REELEITO LULA REELEITO LULA REELEITO LULA REELEITO LULA REELEITO LULA REELEITO LULA REELEITO LULA REELEITO LULA REELEITO LULA REELEITO LULA REELEITO LULA REELEITO LULA REELEITO LULA REELEITO LULA REELEITO LULA REELEITO

pretty clear evidence that republicans in the US losing any election going forward are going to always beg for a coup if they lose. lots of people will have to go to jail

when i say we're going to win what i mean is that you exist, and you exist, and you, and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you youre you right there being you right now and nobody can stop you

Brazil extended voting hours in lieu of the attempts at voter suppression seen today. We'll know the results soon enough. I hope for all our sakes Lula wins.

Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Cristiano Zanin ordered a nationwide two-hour extension of voting in today’s presidential runoff, moving the close of polls from 5pm to 7 pm Brasília time.

We must expect that Meta's interference is happening in other elections around the world *right now*. This isn't just a one-off. Meta has proved repeatedly they are committed to advancing far-right agendas worldwide, are serial liars, and are flagrantly indifferent to the dismantling of democracies.

Meta Employees Denounce Interference in Brazilian Elections Statement posted 8 hours ago. "This is the first time to our knowledge that favours made to politicians such as the Bolsonaros have been programmatically made user-facing to such an obvious and biased extent.”

They're white supremacists who want to take away the rights of Indigenous people so it's no surprise they're also targeting the LGBTQ+ community. Gonna be a dark period in Canadian history to have a government this far right in BC. Protect your neighbors!!

Billionaires Stave off the Pitchforks With Payouts to One Kid at a Time

Since John D. Rockefeller handed out dimes, the world’s richest have given away their money in very different ways. Now they are bypassing charity—and writing a new social contract.

We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.

“They are no longer with the company” But she was just fine sending it to the owner. So then you have to ask— How many owners has she sent messages like that to that the company was okay with?

A Black couple about to tour a Queens, NY apartment got a message from the real estate agent as they approached: "Ugh. They are black." "She mistakenly sent it to us. But it was supposed to go to the owner," Olaso said. They are suing. | Greg Cergol www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/d... #BlackskyNews

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.

genuinely evil behavior from vivek ramaswamy, and most of the state will still vote for him. how do you even handle a country filled with so many morally and spiritually bankrupt individuals

NEW: Vivek Ramaswamy says Amy Acton being a victim of childhood sexual abuse makes her “flawed” while defending his ad featuring her estranged mother. “In politics sometimes it's a tough sport.”

federal agents took a daycare teacher from a room of screaming toddlers in Chicago last fall during drop-off and it radicalized a bunch of yoga pants moms who started buying anti-ICE shirts.

A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"

people are acting like this is about AI bots hacking into people's bank accounts but it's actually about people who have given their AI agents access to their computer on purpose

Trump didn't like Ramaswamy until he saw him sticking up for child rapists and their enablers. He hated the Ivy League until Cornell had a prominent fraternity gang-rape story in the news. He's not just a rapist, not just a serial rapist—he's a rape *enthusiast,* and it's why Republicans love him.

Trump: "What's happened is the press has ganged up on a woman making a horrible statement about her daughter, and I don't why she should be shielded. She said she was a dirty liar ... I say she's fair game."

arresting people for protesting police brutality feels a little too on the nose, and yet

Ahhhhh@nerdjpg.com · 5d ago

GCs never talk about the fact that a trans woman who is accessing a rape crisis service has also been raped. That a trans woman in a hospital changing room is also a nurse just trying to do her job and earn a living. We are rendered abstract, not people but a malevolent presence.
