Lula won by 4.4 million votes. The number of votes cast after the polls reopened was under 36,000. Anyone who tells you that this is why Lulu won or that it delegitimizes the outcome is pushing a completely fake narrative.

Both Lula & Bolsonaro asked for extensions in some areas due to transport & weather problems. The Supreme Court decided to extend polling nationwide as the fairest way to respond. That's not open corruption. Saying it is just shows your mind has been corrupted by social media.
Lula put his own former lawyer on the Supreme Court. He asked the courts for voting to be extended by 2 hours. Skipped the court that should decide it and had that same former lawyer unilaterally decide to order it 2 minutes before polls close. BUT only for places that still had voting open, which were mainly Lula strongholds that were aware of the request and waited for it to be granted. This isn't just optics. They knew exactly what they were doing. It's open corruption.

Flávio Bolsonaro wants Brazil’s election annulled because, he claims, Lula “changed the rules halfway through the game” by extending voting hours. There’s just one rather inconvenient detail. Bolsonaro’s own campaign ALSO requested an extension! His request covered specific areas, while Lula’s was nationwide, but both wanted voting hours extended. Now, having lost by 4.4 million votes, he wants the result overturned over a measure his own campaign supported. Quite extraordinary.

Washington state ballot iniative 638 would force all girls K-12 to undergo an invasive & traumatic genital exam to "PROVE" they arent transgender before playing sports. Girls as young as SIX. This where trans panic leads. It's a great example of how transphobia hurts ALL women.

In the end, Brazil really did teach the United States a lesson. They jailed the fascist, and then they defeated his political heir.

Bombing universities is not normal and it’s certainly not a “ceasefire.” How is this not a bigger news story?
🚨 Israel strikes Gaza university twice in less than four hours, killing three university security guards and wounding several others, including students.

So funktioniert Populismus: Einfach etwas weglassen. Richtig ist: Das Gericht verlängerte die Wahlzeit nicht nur für Lula. BEIDE Lager beantragten dies wegen Bus-Ausfällen im Norden und Unwettern im Süden. Um faire Wahlen zu sichern, galt es landesweit für alle.
What an upset in brasilien...Bolsnoaro gibt sicher geglaubten Wahlsieg aus der Hand. Wahl dürfte aber ein langes Nachspiel haben. Ein einzelner Richter (und kurioserweise ehemaliger Anwalt Lulas) am Supreme Court, hatte kurzerhand die Stimmenabgabe um 2h verlängert. Betrug?

I still cannot believe UK Lawyers for Israel pressured Chelsea and Westminster Hospital to remove artwork created by Palestinian children in Gaza. Shame on the NHS for allowing it. Their artwork was not a threat. Imagine, adults bullying children. Revolting really.

Lula victory speech: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. We cannot have monstrously huge corporations earning millions & billions, paying no taxes to this country & trying to steer this country's election results."

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump and his family have lost surprise elections, thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Just to be clear, as I don’t see a lot of folks pointing this out or acknowledging this: Bolsonaro also formally asked for polling stations to be kept open another two hours!
The optics are horrible

Someone cut the power supply to a voting station in Fortaleza, where Lula won 53% of votes in the first round. Luckily the electronic voting machines have internal batteries so nothing happened

Friedrich Merz tönte einst, „links ist vorbei“. Doch Lulas sensationeller Sieg in Brasilien zeigt das Gegenteil: Links ist weltweit kein Auslaufmodell, sondern setzt Big Tech und Milliardäre in ihre Schranken – für Arbeitnehmerrechte, Solidarität und Klimaschutz! 🇧🇷✊
Parabéns ao Lula e ao PT por essa virada sensacional! É impressionante como vocês colocaram as big techs e os bilionários no seu devido lugar. Pelos direitos dos trabalhadores, pela solidariedade internacional e pela proteção da Amazônia. Obrigada! 🇧🇷🇩🇪

A reminder that Jair Bolsonaro is serving a 27 year prison sentence for plotting a coup and planning to assassinate Lula
What a mess. Polling has supposedly closed in Brazil - and no word from Brazil's electoral authorities about whether voting hours will be extended because of apparent sabotage of public transport in at least 10 states

In Serbia, @avucic has conceded defeat. The Students’ List has won an absolute majority in the elections. Celebrations have begun in the streets across Serbia. Sound familiar?
