ブラジルの労働者階級はちょうど鍵のかけ方を解く方法を見つけ出し、今、世界の残りは彼らに鍵を求めている。
The New Yorker, is now interested to study the Brazilian working class. They look at André Janones and "Lula’s Army" and call it a "tech-savvy" miracle that reversed the far-right surge.
But they are missing the profound civilizational shift that just took place.
Let us look at the material reality of those three weeks between the first and second rounds.
For years, the empire and the domestic oligarchs treated the internet as their private property. They used Silicon Valley algorithms, dark money, and decentralized right-wing troll farms to isolate, exhaust, and manipulate the public.
When Flávio Bolsonaro took the lead in the first round, the left didn't just buy better ads. André Janones digitized the physical solidarity of the streets. He organized millions of ordinary Brazilians into "Lula’s Army," synchronizing their messaging to manually overpower the algorithm.
The strategy was so devastatingly effective that the Global North is now begging the Global South for the blueprint. Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has requested Janones’s help, and in France, activists are studying "Janonisme" to fight the far-right.
Why is the institutional media in New York and Paris suddenly looking to a Brazilian politician to learn how to survive the digital age?
Because for a decade, the empire believed the working class was too atomized and too exhausted to fight back online. They thought the digital realm was permanently locked behind algorithms controlled by right-wing billionaires.
But Brazil proved a beautiful, undeniable truth: when ordinary people—the nurses, the bus drivers, the students—synchronize their dignity, no algorithm can contain them. The left didn't just "hack" a social media platform; they broke the empire's digital enclosure.
The Global North spent billions building a digital cage for the world.
But the Brazilian working class just figured out how to pick the lock, and now the rest of the world is asking them for the key.

Activist Angela Davis and her good friend, novelist Toni Morrison.
This two extraordinary Black women work shaped how generations understood race, history, politics and identity in America: activist and scholar Angela Davis and novelist Toni Morrison. Their friendship was more than personal. It was also an intellectual partnership that connected activism, literature and the struggle to tell Black stories on their own terms.
Before Morrison became one of the most celebrated writers in the world, she worked as an editor at Random House. In that role, she edited Angela Davis's autobiography, helping shape the book that introduced many readers to Davis's experiences, political ideas and life in the civil rights and Black liberation movements. The two women developed a lasting friendship that continued for decades.
Morrison was born Chloe Anthony Wofford in Lorain, Ohio, in 1931. She published her first novel, The Bluest Eye, in 1970, but it was her 1987 novel Beloved that became one of the defining works of American literature. Inspired by the historical story of Margaret Garner, an enslaved woman who attempted to prevent her children from being returned to slavery, Morrison transformed that history into a powerful exploration of memory, motherhood, trauma and freedom. Beloved became a bestseller, spent 25 weeks on the bestseller list and won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1988.
In 1993, Morrison became the first Black woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. Her writing challenged readers to confront parts of American history that had often been ignored or told from perspectives that minimized Black experiences. She died on August 5, 2019, at 88.
The friendship between Davis and Morrison is a reminder that Black intellectual history was shaped not only through public movements, but also through conversations, mentorship, collaboration and the relationships between people who challenged the world around them.

私が見る限り、わざとらしいほどのサナ活アカウントは別として、今や右も左も関係なく、実にさまざまな人が高市政権を批判している。
ところが、少しでも高市政権を批判すると、「高市さんの揚げ足取りばかり」というコメントが、驚くほどの速さで飛んでくる。
ブロックしても、ブロックしても、また別のアカウントが現れる。
あれは熱心な支持者なのか。それとも、支持者という名の「農場」でもあるんでしょうかね。
とにかく仕事が早いのよ。(笑)
私のような、それほど大きくもないアカウントにまで、これだけ素早く反応してくる。
いったい、どういう仕組みになっているんでしょうね。
まさか、政府の巨額の広報予算とは関係ないでしょうけど。😂

COINTELPRO
For decades, Black activists and organizations were watched, investigated, and targeted by federal authorities during some of the most important struggles of the 20th century. The FBI’s COINTELPRO program, which began in 1956 and was expanded to include the Black Panther Party in 1967, was officially described as an effort to disrupt groups considered threats. Declassified records later showed that the program went beyond simply investigating crimes. The FBI infiltrated organizations, attempted to create divisions within them, and sought to discredit certain leaders and movements. Martin Luther King Jr. was also subjected to FBI surveillance, including wiretapping, while the Southern Christian Leadership Conference was investigated. Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey, Angela Davis, Fred Hampton, Huey Newton and Bobby Seale all belong to different generations and political traditions, so they should not be treated as though they were part of one single movement. What connects many of the figures pictured is that their activism, political ideas, or organizations came under intense government scrutiny during periods of major social change. The Church Committee’s investigations in the 1970s examined these intelligence operations and criticized COINTELPRO for infringing constitutional rights. The FBI itself later acknowledged that some of its tactics went too far, and COINTELPRO was formally ended in 1971.

官房機密費が自民党の選挙資金として使われているとの証言が絶えない。その象徴的な例が、1998年の沖縄県知事選で多額の官房機密費が選挙資金として官邸から流れた、というものだ。
この選挙は普天間基地の移転先が争点となり、「県外移設」を主張した現職だった大田昌秀氏と自民党推薦の稲嶺恵一氏が一騎打ちに。壮絶な選挙戦が繰り広げられた末、稲嶺氏が当選した。だが、2001年に自民党沖縄県連関係者が「官邸から知事選の資金が出たのは間違いない。私自身、選対の会議で報告を受けた。元は税金だからね。選挙に機密費を使ったなんて表に出たら大変なことになる」と証言(毎日新聞2001年3月7日付)。
しかも、この疑惑は匿名の証言だけでは終わらなかった。1998年の沖縄県知事選の際、官房副長官として当時の野中広務官房長官を支えていた鈴木宗男氏が、2010年に「(稲嶺陣営に官房機密費で)3億円使ったと聞いている」と証言をおこなったのである。(全文はリプ欄から)
