on this all souls’ day i wish to honor my great uncle who fought in the 1950 puerto rican nationalist uprisings. according to one account he was among the men who saved irvin flores after he was injured. my great uncle would do 8 years in a georgia jail for sedition.

Brasil mostró que el problema no son las echo chambers, el problema es que las echo chambers progres no están lo suficientemente selladas y eso provoca que ayuden a difundir cosas que no deberían salir de las echo chambers reaccionarias, impulsando su crecimiento.

My first byline for the Guardian. I found at least 20 people who have been rearrested by ICE — some before they even left the building.

Many are challenging their detention using habeas corpus filings only to be arrested again, in violation of court orders

Part of the Puerto Rico statehood party propaganda during the 2024 elections was that every American fast food restaurant would close if the independence party won. Well, the statehood party won and now all KFC and Taco Bell restaurants are closing immediately. www.notiuno.com/noticias/eco...

Oh shit, Juan Dalmau and Eva Prados are going to have a Tele Town Hall with Angie Nixon. This is the first time I’ve actually seen the Puerto Rican opposition move like this.

Criminally underrated. The band went downhill afterwards, though

Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, who also played a big role in recruiting Mills and Stevens, refused to endorse the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York last year. They set the "Dem pols can refuse to endorse Democratic nominees who are insufficiently centrist/pro-Israel" precedent.

W.E.D.em Boyz@leftistwonk.bsky.social · 2d ago

Janet Mills and Haley Stevens were two of the big candidates that Chuck Schumer recruited to run in this cycle. Mills refused to endorse Troy Jackson until a couple of days ago when she tepidly said she voted for him, and now Haley Stevens is endorsing the Republican nominee.

Called it earlier. Liberals are already coalescing around alternative stories that completely obfuscate corporate Democrats fighting against leftists and instead focusing on explanations that Haley Stevens is mentally unwell, that she was forced to do this by her fiancé. There’s always an excuse.

Israel’s government is just as allied with the Democrats as it is with Trump, and the Democrats have been bigger supporters of the genocide than Trump has

Walker Bragman@walkerbragman.bsky.social · 3d ago

Wild that the rebuke is over Israel, which is run by a fascist government allied with Trump that is also conflicting genocide. There’s never been a clearer sign that the Democratic Party establishment needs to be demolished.

I hope Americans turn out en masse and resoundingly put an end to this thoroughly unamerican terror.

Correct translation: "Your country [= the UK] created Israel you r*tarded islander" Grok's translation (next skeet) somehow manages to 1. Omit Israel 2. Use the n-word

again, liberals could not give a single fuck about the self determination of colonized peoples, they simply have no problem at all with colonialism if it benefits them in some way

Me acabo den enteras que algunos brasileños ponen las habichuelas debajo del arroz y me sube la presión. Qué cosa más abominable

Estaba viendo un video de cocina italiana. El chef, refiriéndose a la calabaza que estaba usando, dice "questo e dell'orto," y tuve que hacer unas consultas para constatarme que no quiere decir lo mismo que "esto es del orto"

I believe that: 1. Flávio Bolsonaro is fleeing Brazil 2. His destination is the USA …but his camp seems to be running a disinformation campaign on e.g. CNN Brasil to throw people off the when, where and how

This one would work even better in English: "Fly-vio Bolsonaro: Give wings to your flight"

midnucas 🇵🇷@midnucas.bsky.social · 5d ago

Los argentinos han tenido los mejores titulares sobre el asunto: "Fly-vio Bolsonaro: Dale alas a tu fuga"

Flávio Bolsonaro's open letter proclaiming himself president-elect of Brazil has at the top a coat of arms that 1. Uses the wrong, pre-1968 official name for the country; 2. Spells "Brazil" with a "z" like English (it's "s" in Portguese) I found the exact graphic, error and all, in Wikipedia

Puerto Rico independence is such an unspoken taboo in the USA, and gringos care so little what any Puerto Rican actually says, that all their entertainment and political discourse erases that he’s such a loud independentist. He wants the USA out of Puerto Rico!

Hey Meta 👋 We are currently hosting a get-out-the-vote rally in Osceola County, home to a large Puerto Rican community, and our #LatinosConAngie Instagram page was suddenly taken down while we were actively posting content from the event.

Big topic today in Brazilian Twitter is how their own press spent the whole day repeating disinformation leaks from “sources close to Bolsonaro” whereas the Argentinian press sent crews to the border airport he fled from and caught the van that brought him on live TV

Jezebel’s new owner is reportedly deleting old blogs that aren’t “brand safe,” which means that this very timely investigation I did into a sketchy reality TV producer pushing a rape lawsuit against Trump is seemingly just gone. When I click the link it just goes to their homepage
