Essay on the FSU and its American non-academic imports pretend playing to be serious academics: culture-centered.blogspot.co…
The FSU is a far right outfit that cosplays as a union advocating for free speech. It wouldn’t know academe if you poked it with a ten foot barge pole. Full essay on the link: culture-centered.blogspot.co…

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.

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."

Lula’s victory will be greeted with horror in Silicon Valley. Outside the EU, Brazil has been the biggest holders to account of US tech firms. And Facebook’s actions before the election deserve proper scrutiny

Mexico and Brazil - by far the biggest and most geopolitically important countries in Latin America, are now firmly in the socialist, peace-loving, humane camp, with two exceptional leaders.
The Zionist-imperial continent-wide coup has failed, just like their military endeavours in West Asia, and their economic war on China have failed. Just like the attempt to use Ukraine to break Russia.
The sun is setting on the Epstein class, and the Global South is rising. What utterly sweet huge fucking history we're going to witness

Botamos pra virar, Brasil! 🇧🇷❤️
Fizemos história nas ruas e nas urnas, com o povo como protagonista de uma caminhada que ainda tem muito pela frente. A democracia venceu, a esperança se fortaleceu e o Brasil segue em frente.
Essa vitória é nossa. E vamos fazer muito mais juntos! 💫

To everyone celebrating Lula’s reelection victory, I just want us to all acknowledge Erika Hilton right here. She’s a Black trans woman who became the most voted congresswoman in Brazilian history this cycle and has been campaigning nonstop for Lula in the second round

A bit sad US politics doesn’t have nearly the same poetry in its speeches. Would be unthinkable to hear Bernie say “they can kill 1, 2 or 100 roses; but they’ll never stop the arrival of spring”

Lula didn’t just beat Bolsonaro:
He beat Trump, Netanyahu/Israel, Meta interference, algorithms, the right-wing wave taking Latin America, and the elite billionaire class...
If Brasil just did it, America can too.

Brother @LulaOficial - you are a true man of the people, not just of the Brazilian people but the people of the world.

Lula vs. Bolsonaro: I was held in solitary confinement for 1,901 days for revealing the truth about the U.S. government's killings and espionage, including against Brazil and its industries. Out of power, Lula fought for my freedom. In power, Lula discussed my persecution with Pope Francis, who decided to meet with my family and offer help. After my release, Lula and I met in Rome to mourn the Holy Father's passing. Lula was kind to my children and asked for nothing in return. In contrast, Jair and Flávio Bolsonaro did nothing and said nothing. Yet without the ability to say no to Washington and Tel Aviv, there can be no domestic policy, only foreign instructions. Those orders are always the same: "Expand our theft of resources and wages, and keep your mouths shut about us murdering children." Sellouts will surrender everything in exchange for a cut, even their own tongues.

PRESIDENT LULA WINS! Huge win for the world and a shocking defeat for Donald Trump who tried to help Bolsonaro win. You love to see it. Well done, Brazil!

Lula didn’t just take on Bolsonaro. He took on the technofeudalists, election interference by Meta, U.S. diplomats, and won. Impressive and inspiring. LFG.

A worldwide win.

Mamdani has done more than any politician in recent memory to advance the visibility of Hinduism in America.
It’s beautiful to see. And it is a recipe others can replicate — Embrace diversity, steer far clear of Hindutva, and joyfully & openly participate.
This week, I was blessed to join Hindu New Yorkers in Queens celebrating Navratri, Durga Puja, Dashain, and Vijayadashami.
We danced garba, performed aarti, witnessed Sindoor Khela, and honored the Goddess Durga.
It was an honor to come together in joy, faith, and community in temples across our city — especially after the attempted mass shooting at a Hindu temple in Illinois last week.
May we all join together in our shared responsibility to stand against hate and care for one another.
Jai Mata Ki.
