It was certainly looking frightening in Brazil, but I am elated Lula pulled it off.

🚨 Lula Mounts Comeback, Wins Brazil Election With 96% of polling stations counted, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has pulled ahead of Flávio Bolsonaro by about 4.1 million votes, 51.73% to 48.27%, according to Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE). Projections show Lula winning a fourth presidential term against the son of jailed former President Jair Bolsonaro, who beat him by more than 2 million votes in the first round and led the early count tonight. Datafolha, the polling institute of the newspaper Folha de S.Paulo, has called the race for Lula. So has Andrei Roman, CEO of the pollster AtlasIntel, even though his firm's final poll on Saturday had Bolsonaro narrowly ahead. The Brazilian outlet ICL also called it for Lula. The TSE has not yet declared an official result.

Surprised giving that the conservative party ran up the score in the legislature. He's not the lefty politician in South America/Latin America. But he did save democracy.

Did @DropSiteNews knowingly publish illegally obtained classified CIA intelligence? On October 5, the outlet co-published Aída Chávez’s story claiming a secret CIA assessment warned Israel could descend into civil war. That date is now in an FBI leak affidavit🧵

Bolsonaro trata de impedir qué autobuses, lleven a los votantes de Lula. Aquí los jóvenes retiran un coche bolsonarista que obstruía el paso de autobuses. Lula aguanta que el pueblo se levanta. RT👇

This is a coup attempt. They’re turning off traffic lights and canceling bus routes and flights and ferries on election day. The world needs to be paying attention

Multiple cities in Brazil including São Paulo and Salvador which both went for Lula in the first round are reporting having significant parts of their public transport system taken offline as part of vote suppression tactics by pro Bolsonaro politicians

Buses set on fire by gangs, bus lines suspended in flagrant right-wing election interference, arrest warrants issued, META meddling, security operations deployed, requests to extend voting hours—we can never just have a calm election day in Latin America.

Imagine a team of editors, and then imagine that together they have overseen some half dozen sources going to jail over 15 years, not to mention at least one committing suicide. Now imagine that every time, they double down on it not being their fault.

Or maybe the govenrment should not prosecute leakers regardless of whether they have leaked to Substack or a national publication. Israel supposedly on the verge of a civil conflict damages U.S security how?

Before he was a senator, Jon Ossoff worked with Ghanaian journalist Ahmed Hussein-Suale Divela on a documentary about corruption and bribery in African soccer. In 2019, Divela was killed by two gunmen. No one has been convicted in connection to the killing. wapo.st/48f9pfy

Jon Ossoff’s films exposed corruption. Then his colleague was murdered.

What the Georgia Democrat and potential presidential candidate learned about politics and going viral from his time making documentaries.

Rashad Robinson@rashadrobinsonOct 22
The Congressional Black Caucus is under attack in two ways. From the outside, racist gerrymandering is trying to wipe out its seats. From the inside, corporations are working to neutralize what it was built to do.
