President Luiz Inรกcio Lula da Silva came from behind to win Brazilโ€™s runoff election, halting a right-wing wave sweeping Latin America and defying predictions that the 80-year-old political veteran had finally reached the end of his extraordinary career. bloom.bg/4BsvV24 ๐Ÿ“ท: Maira Erlich/Bloomberg

โ€œThe definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.โ€ Thatโ€™s not even close to the definition of insanity! Really bugs me when people say this.

Celebrations erupted across Belgrade as Serbia's student-backed movement claimed a major victory over Aleksandar Vucic's long-standing ruling party. The result follows nearly two years of protests after a railway station collapse in Novi Sad killed 16 people in 2024.

I suspect that, when the final decision was made, more Brazilians preferred Lulaโ€”who, for all his faults, still represents the old Brazil (coastal, Catholic, Portuguese, SoDem)โ€”over another Bolsonaro, who embodies the newer Americanization trend in Latin America, complete with its neo-Pentecostal craziness. In a sense, Lula stands for traditional Brazilian culture and mores, whereas Bolso reeks of foreign influence and distinctly un-Brazilian ideas.

We can just tell the Brazilian army they donโ€™t need to recognize the election results. Or at least, can suspend and investigate. This is the opposite of imperialism. Yanqui go home. We trust Brazil to govern itself. As JQ Adams put it: the government de facto is de jure for us

Israelโ€™s defenders: Itโ€™s not a genocide Israelis: Palestinians must leave or weโ€™ll kill them
A young blonde woman with an American accent in Israel says that all the Arabs must be kicked out of Gaza because it is "our land" since "God commanded us to take it." The Palestinians should be kicked out to any other Arab state, she continues, except Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, "because they are ours." "Or we will kill them," she adds Can we stop pretending that this is a marginal view in Israel? That these are the comments of a fringe minority? They are not. Israel has been on this path for quite some time. Western governments know it fully - yet they continue to fund and enable Israel's genocidal policies.
