What happened in Brazil should be studied in Political Science courses for decades!!
The working class people realized billionaires were rigging the news they saw and did a 180 and completely flipped. And made fun of the billionaires in the process.
That’s why Trump’s pissed

Nice
A huge congratulations to @oliviachow and the incredible slate of progressive councillors elected in Toronto tonight.
This win goes beyond any one person or campaign — it’s the result of years of movements organizing together, from tenant unions to climate activists, migrant rights advocates and those on the front lines of harm reduction. You mobilized and knocked on every last door to make this happen.
Tonight, you’ve secured a better future for Toronto together.

🧠Debate about campus policy must reach the people who write it.
@IUBloomington’s HxA Campus Chapter hosted a Heterodox Conversation on institutional neutrality with @tomginsburg and John K. Wilson. It drew about 150 students, faculty, and administrators, and led to follow-up meetings with the chancellor and provost.
Chapter co-chair Mark Fraley is one of many members using HxA’s Campus Chapter network to make change on his campus.

En Brasilia hay una regla:
No hagas fotos aéreas de tus manifestaciones porque todo parece pequeño.
El acto en apoyo a la reelección de Lula fue la excepción este domingo.

Pay attention, world.
A group of European diplomats was assaulted in the West Bank, allegedly by Israeli settlers, a day after an attack by settlers that seriously injured Post photographer Heidi Levine. wapo.st/3Uvc3e0
Neil McLaughlin retweeted
Israeli President Isaac Herzog apologized on Saturday to Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine after she was injured in an attack by Israeli settlers in the West Bank the previous day, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu questioned her account.
Netanyahu cast doubt on reports of the incident, saying footage did not establish responsibility and that "serious accusations require serious evidence"
The president's response came as former heads of the IDF, Mossad and Shin Bet expressed support for Levine, saying they were "deeply ashamed" that Jewish extremists continued to attack Palestinians, those who assist them and those documenting the violence. | @lizarozovsky
