The Acton campaign immediately went to work to monetize Vivek’s blunder through texting and email solicitations. Great to see that it paid off.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

Gas prices are “temporarily” high, says the president. That’s because Republicans are temporarily in power. Vote.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.

NEW: this is so bizarre

JS: Seems as if the US is relying on data from outside the federal government. Did you purchase a private list of CA voter rolls? DOJ: no, but we were supplied a list that was purchased from California. 21/

NEW: DOJ just admitted in court that their lawsuit against California is not about outcome determinative issues, it's simply saying that a single non-citizen voting causes the government irreparable harm. That's bananapants.

Trump is straight up saying during speeches that he wants white people coming to the country but not black. I don’t know what else people need to see.

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

WOOOHOOOO!! Serbia, now Brazil. Next? USA and Israel!

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.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

The young people will bring us back to democracy!!

Tonight Students Saved Democracy in Serbia. 🇷🇸 They won the election. The Student List movement unites youth, academics, and civic voices across Serbia. Grounded in anti-corruption reforms, democratic integrity, transparent governance, this movement brings hope to many. Vučić conceded defeat!

Ugh. Substack will soon become another X or Meta if Thiel is involved.

over TEN MILLION people in a single whatsapp channel!! our leader, andré janones, would give us "missions" like: the president is making a post at 7pm, everyone go like and comment. in 30 minutes, everyone google "flávio bolsonaro [something he did and tried to hide]" etc. we beat the algorythm lol

It sounds like Brazil was won not just through overwhelming voter turnout, but by skillful, coordinated algorithmic guerrilla warfare. It shouldn't be this hard, but democracy can be saved from the broligarchs.

How pathetic. This pro-Bolsonaro Brazilian official relied on the Thiel-backed prediction market (Polymarket) to suggest that Flavio Bolsonaro had won his debate against President Lulu (who just defeated Bolsonaro in the election.) Because Polymarjet is “real” info. 🙄 1/ x.com/delegadorama...

Yeah there’s a conversation around the way anti-Blackness is inculcated as a part of the culture for “model minorities” who are often told the key to success in the United States is holding yourself out as different/superior to Black people who are already here.

What nobody wants to talk about is how that “Black support for Trump” is drawn from Black immigrants, who have been targeted by the administration’s deportation policies. www.brookings.edu/articles/not...

To understand where Trump is trying to take the US, we should look to the authoritarian playbook of his favorite ally: El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele

We all knew who Blanche was— he covered up the Epstein files. Republican Senators confirmed him anyway. The corruption of our Justice Department is on them.

Like father, like son: 10yrs ago when Bolsonaro Sr was a member of Brazil's parliament, he joked abt impeaching the country's 1st woman president by casting his vote in honor of the military men who tortured her. Now Bolsonaro Jr praises other men who torture women. Surprised by that voting pattern?

Incredible gender difference in voting intention in Brazil.

OBAMA: When I was president, all these Republicans are all deficits, deficits, debt, debt. You got to do something about it. And now—$40 trillion—Crickets. Somehow deficits only matter when a Democratic president is in office

“How could Latinos vote for Trump” well rather tragically they believed in what America says about itself - that once you’re a citizen we’re all equal

In addition to being quite clearly illegal & immoral, I think Kavanaugh stops are going to go down as a big tactical error. MAGA success depended on dividing citizen from non citizen Latinos & stopping every Tomás, Ricardo & Enrique you see on the street undercuts that

The Trump Campaign pulled off a level of message differentiation I still am amazed by; somehow they convinced Latino men they were just deporting criminal immigrants while telegraphing their real intent to white supremacists, & a similar trick with Arab Americans & neocon hawks

In Michigan, Musk paid for calls targeting Muslims that painted Democrats as pro-Israel, and also paid for calls targeting Jews that painted Democrats as pro-Hamas.
