This is the best article of why Lula was able to turn it around. Populist FDR style “New Deal” policies in the country, the people of Brazil appreciate. This is the antidote to the right wing populism, oligarch/fascist fkry, consolidation of wealth and power, and use of hatred scapegoating the politically weak and marginalized people. This is to fascism what garlic is to vampires. FDR knew it and used it to beat back the rise of the Fascist NAZI movement in the USA in the 30s. It’s time for a New, New Deal. aljazeera.com/opinions/2026/…

Congratulations to the people of Brazil! xitter.cf/business/status/211450…
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva came from behind to win Brazil’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. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Congratulations to Lula on his extraordinary reelection victory in the Brazilian presidential election. Lula has stood up for Brazilian workers & democracy — and will continue to do so in the next four years.

No citizen or corporation should have this much power over any communications system or public information platform. It will only lead to Fkry as we have seen time and time again with Elon Musk and his hands on the scale for Russia. His massive political disinformation campaigns on X, causing chaos throughout the world, and his tampering and defunding of the agencies that have been investigating him, using his sham “Department of Government Efficiency”. londonlovesbusiness.com/cong…

theguardian.com/environment/… ““All governments have a job to do, but in particular it is time for major fossil fuel producers such as the US and Saudi Arabia, which produce 20-25% of fossil fuels globally, to stop playing politics and face the scientific reality. Right now they are looking at the fire, denying it exists and pouring more petrol on it, while their own citizens increasingly face searing heat, wildfires and other impacts.””

I’ve been detained by the IDF, along with a group of rabbis & volunteers. We were simply harvesting olives in a grove near Nehalim in the West Bank. The occupation is a crime under international law. Harvesting olives isn’t a crime under any law I know.

In case you were wondering if Larry Ellison would use his partial ownership of TIKTok to shut down the exposure of his billionaire buddies and their weirdness, corruption and grifting … wonder no more. TikTok just shut down the media page of the world renowned, Oscar winning director Alex Gibney’s documentary film “MUSK”. The comprehensive documentary on all things Elon. It’s more f&@&’d then you can imagine. The best thing any of us can do now is to go see it! It will blow your mind. Billionaire broke mind virus. Hear it from the people who have known Elon over the years. #BrokeMindVirus

“We are highly trained agents who should be working child exploitation and trafficking cases, instead we are being used as pawns in our administration’s games,” said the Homeland Security Investigations official, touching on a shift away from the ICE branch’s traditional areas of focus. “I think everything happening with the agency right now is related to the midterms and to stoke divisive fires.” More Trump Fkry. Fascist overreach using ICE to go after political opponents. Ilan Omar’s raid should freak everyone out. Add this to Meta shutting down NoKings IG during their voter drive the other day and TikTok shutting down the Musk doc are the moves of a fascist Oligarchy working together to shut down descent.

“If you have a chemical and there’s no safe level of it, then why on earth would you allow it to be manufactured?…This all makes perfect sense if you understand the reality that the EPA is an arm of industry, especially under the Trump administration.” Robert F Kennedy Jr, if he is actually trying to Make America Healthy Again could tackle this by himself by using the FDA to get thr PFAS chemical class out of our food and food containers. But he won’t. Because he is also captured by the chemical industry. theguardian.com/environment/…

Saw this last week. Comprehensive documentary on the richest and one of the most powerful people in the world. You should know a little more about him than you do.
Knowledge is power. 💫 In MUSK, Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney delivers a jaw-dropping, informative, and yet endlessly entertaining "examination of the world's richest megalomaniac" (@IndieWire). Now playing in NY and LA. Nationwide Friday! #MuskMovie bit.ly/4ArO3ZA

BREAKING: @AOC just donated $1 million to help @AbdulElSayed win? Here's why... Question last night to @neeratanden: "If a progressive candidate this year were to win a in a competitive race, like Abdul El Sayed in Michigan, would you consider that to be vindication of the electability of progressive politics?" Neera's answer to @mehdirhasan: "If he wins, it absolutely vindicates that a candidate like him can win there." Boom. Let's win this thing!

It’s beyond sad. It’s beyond disappointing; at this point, it’s disqualifying for anyone with ambitions for higher office as a Democrat, or a Republican, for that matter, to be fighting to keep billionaires from being taxed while kids don’t have health insurance and the cost of living goes sky-high. These billionaires are also the ones hellbent on replacing entire workforces with the AI they are developing with our tax dollars (watch the “Musk” doc). We are also living through the largest wealth gap in modern history. At this point, the only way to balance out the economic forces that have bought our politicians and keep rigging the game against working people is through taxes. Let’s hope Gavin gets some sense and walks this back. It’s crazy that this is what he chooses to spend his political capital, and part of his legacy, doing. He vetoed the bill that would have put a “kill switch” on AI for our protection. He vetoed a bill that would have gotten forever chemicals out of cookware. Time and time again, he goes with corporate interests over the well-being of the people, even after his own bipartisan legislature votes for something. And here we go again. Gavin, we aren’t looking for the Democratic version of Trump. That was a good goof. Please try something else. It’s tired. The people need a champion, man. A real, bona fide champion who isn’t just tough in tweets or press conferences, but tough when it comes to the real imbalances people are struggling with every day: billionaires vs. people and the planet.
It is so sad to see Gavin Newsom be the poster child to ban any new wealth tax on billionaires. I received this text and it is going to all California voters.

Once again. Just like the Paramount Merger Gavin Newsom does what he always does. Sells out the working class people for the billionaires again and again. Not only that but endorses a bill that will make it impossible to tax the wealthy at all. commondreams.org/news/newsom…

Wonderful to see Navi Pillay’s work recognized with the Nobel Peace Prize today. Her dedication to justice, human rights and accountability to those who commit unlawful acts and atrocities whether apartheid in South Africa or genocide in Gaza is inspiring and shows us the path to peace.

Our new multimedia report and short film, “Busy Surviving: Women on Indonesia’s Nickel Frontier,” show how women on the frontlines of the nickel industry face serious, unequal harm to their health, livelihoods, and cultural traditions. Their stories lay bare the human cost of nickel expansion: polluted water, dwindling fish, lost income, and the growing burden of caring for families amid environmental damage. cri.org/story/busy-surviving…
