BREAKING: Lula officially declared winner of Brazilian presidential election, official election body reports.

Sundayโs election will determine the fate of Brazilian democracy, the fate of Latin American sovereignty, and the survival of the Amazon rainforest โ which is to say, that of all humanity.
In a sane world, Trump's (and Zuckerbergโs) escalating efforts to bring Bolsonaro back to power would be front-page news, but alasโฆ we are not so lucky to live there.
Instead, we live in a world where Lula and Bolsonaro are neck-and-neck ahead of Sundayโs run-off. progressive.international/wiโฆ

The tide has turned folks. You donโt have the luxury of silence anymore.
Silence is complicity.
Tonight at Gillette Stadium, Zach Bryan, one of the biggest country music artists in the world, wore a Free Palestine shirt onstage.
Gillette Stadium is owned by Robert Kraft, who pushed Ed Sheeran and his promoter to drop Macklemore from his tour.
Bryan isnโt just a major country artist.
He is one of the biggest live draws in music, filling stadiums across the United States and in major cities around the world.
Bryan served eight years on active duty in the US Navy and served overseas in Bahrain and Djibouti.
Members of Bryanโs band also wore shirts supporting the Palestinian cause, including his drummer, who wore a jersey honoring the memory of Hind Rajab.
Zach Bryan has a second show at Gillette Stadium tomorrow, Saturday night.

Show this to anybody who still denies the genocide.ย
These were all people's homes. Completely and totally destroyed.
These images should haunt those who enabled Israel's crimes against humanity - and we will never give up until there is justice for the Palestinian people.

Nationalist residents have linked arms to block the Garvaghy road in Portadown. An Orange Order parade with only 35 participants has been given the go ahead following a late night ruling by the High Court in Belfast. The parade is due to begin at 8am. #UTV

BREAKING: Israel is wiping entire villages off the map in South Lebanon in broad daylight โ then broadcasting their war crimes for the world to see.
Not a peep from the โinternational community.โ
Not a word from the International Criminal Court.

Youmor, Lebanon.
A town 1000 years old, gone.
In Gaza it was "hostages" & "tunnels". It wasn't.
Israel is wiping cities & towns off the map more effectively than Nazis.
EU is silent.
Ireland is welcoming Trump and playing Israel in football.
Unforgivable.
Fuck Israel.

This is not Andy Burnham's call to make. No British Prime Minister has any right to rule out a unity referendum.
The Good Friday Agreement is clear: the people of the island of Ireland alone must determine their own future.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham has ruled out calling a referendum on Irish unification, describing a border poll as "off the table".
He was speaking during his first official visit to Northern Ireland as prime minister.
