Angie Nixon is on fire.
She pulled off a huge upset in her Florida primary, and she’s going to do it again on Tuesday.
Let’s take on Musk and the billionaires. Let’s get out the vote and elect Angie Nixon to the U.S. Senate!

Trump is reportedly planning to restart war with Iran after the election.
Some of us have been briefed on the war plan. And while I cannot disclose any details, I can say this: the plan is insane. It will not achieve objectives and will set off a new cycle of escalation.

🚨 ATTENTION! People are mistranslating what I said!
I NEVER said people should block far-right accounts. I said they should IGNORE THEIR POSTS!
Blocking actually works against this strategy because the algorithm will understand that you didn’t see the content simply because you blocked the account.
However, when a post appears in your feed and you ignore it, you don’t read it, don’t like it, don’t comment on it, or engage with it in any way , the algorithm will interpret that content as irrelevant because it was shown to you and you chose not to engage with it!
THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BLOCKING CONTENT AND IGNORING IT!

Enough is enough. @AshleyMoodyFL you have sent folks to my bookstore to harass my family and the students that intern there. Now your constant rhetoric is causing people to threaten us. You don’t like the history we highlight, fine. But your rhetoric is jeopardizing our safety.

In 2009, Gaddafi proposed SATO, a strategic alliance between Africa and Latin America to counter Western military dominance.
I witnessed how seriously he pursued cooperation with Latin American revolutionary movements.
This video explores that history and a vision of the Global South that remains profoundly relevant today.

If you still take Glenn Greenwald seriously, take it from a Brazilian: Glenn has completely abandoned reason, and his credibility in Brazil is in ruins.
The cases he portrays as judicial persecution actually involve serious crimes committed by people who plotted a coup against Brazil’s democracy. That plot even included plans to assassinate President Lula, Vice President Geraldo Alckmin, and others.
Glenn is no longer the journalist he once was. He no longer cares about facts. He cares about one thing: desperately trying to convince himself and his audience that he has uncovered another earth-shattering scandal.
He hasn’t. And he knows it.
The judge Glenn keeps portraying as a dictator is no dictator. That doesn’t mean he’s above scrutiny. In fact, his ties to corrupt banker Daniel Vorcaro absolutely warrant investigation.
But here’s what Glenn conveniently leaves out: Flávio Bolsonaro had even closer ties to that very same banker. We want BOTH to respond to justice.
Glenn demands that the judge be investigated, yet somehow, when it comes to Flávio Bolsonaro, suddenly it’s all “political persecution” and “censorship.”
The hypocrisy is breathtaking. He’s completely lost the plot.
If you’re reading this from outside Brazil, understand one thing: Glenn Greenwald has burned through virtually every ounce of credibility he once had in this country.
After four years of outrageous claims, shameless distortions, and an absolutely colossal mountain of bullshit, he’s become a walking parody of the journalist he used to be.
CRUCIAL FACTS ON THE FLAVIO BOLSONARO MATTER:
It's not just Flavio Bolsonaro who fled Brazil to escape the tyrannical persecution of Alexandre de Moraes and the pro-Lula wing of the Supreme Court. There are dozens of Brazilian exiles who have done the same: dissident journalists, activists, bloggers, and politicians who all fled to avoid certain prison for political opposition.
In most of these cases, Moraes has demanded the extradition of those who fled and whom he wants to imprison back in Brazil. But Moraes' extradition requests have been repeatedly denied by multiple countries and institutions on the grounds that these prosecutions are politically motivated or otherwise corrupted. Among those concluing this: Spain, Italy, INTERPOL, and even the US under Biden.
Just today, Italy refused Brazil's demand to extradite a person named @edutagli, who was once a top aide to Moraes, but then fled to Italy after Moraes accused him of having been my source in a huge leak from Moraes' office that I obtained for reporting I did with @Folha in 2024. That massive leak enabled us to publish roughly 20 articles proving systemic abuses of power by Moraes against his political enemies: exactly the reason so many Brazilians, including Bolsonaro, know they can't get a fair trial in Brazil.
Italy today refused to extradite the person accused of being our source on the grounds that the proceedings would be a farce because Moraes — as he so often does — wants to act as the supposed victim, investigator, and judge, and thus his demand falls well outside of Italy's extradition standards. Again, multiple countries have concluded the same, showing what a farce Brazil's once-respected judicial system has become under the Lula/Moraes regime.
Moraes has overseen a system of political persecution masquerading as criminal justice that has been recognized as a sham by multiple countries that are not exactly Bolsonaro allies. Nobody in their right mind who is a political enemy of Moraes would remain in Brazil once if it is clear that he intends to imprison you, since he has proven that guilt is a foregone conclusion and he operates with no legal or constitutional limits of any kind.
That is why asylum under international law exists: to protect those who cannot obtain justice in their own country because the justice system has been corrupted and commandeered for political persecution. Many people, such as Julian Assange, have needed that protection (which Lula cheered). Now people need it from Moraes in Brazil. That is sadly one of the main legacies of both Lula and Moraes over the last six years.

Flávio Bolsonaro won 155 of Brazil’s 200 most evangelical municipalities. His father won 130 in 2022. The Christian Zionist political machine is expanding.
British imperial policy in the 1840s promoted Protestant institutions and Jewish restoration in Palestine. John Nelson Darby’s dispensationalism helped shape the prophetic worldview that later influenced Anglo-American Christian Zionism. Since 1977, Likud’s Revisionist Zionists made a strategic priority of partnering with Christian fundamentalists. The theology came first. The political alliance came later.
That theology has been turned against the Sermon on the Mount. Love of neighbor has been replaced with hatred of Muslims, and reason with prophecy.
Flávio’s promise to move Brazil’s embassy to Jerusalem and align the country with Israel against Iran gives that mobilization a geopolitical direction.
The pastors mobilize the faithful. The Chicago Boys write the policy. Wall Street and Washington collect the resources.
Lula won today. The machine lost the election, but not its personnel, its funding, or its plan. The pastors still have their congregations, and the congregations are still clamouring for the rapture and speaking in tongues.

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.

Interestingly the only time Musk ever attacked me personally is when I suggested he should be investigated for any crimes he may have committed by a Democratic Congress.
Now Kara Swisher has done the same and he’s lost it again.
Wonder why it’s such a sore spot for him. 🤔

This is what billionaire ownership of the media means:
Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta shut down the No Kings account for hours during the height of their protests.
Meta suppressed accounts supporting Brazil President Lula da Silva in the recent election.
Larry Ellison’s TikTok blocked advertising for a documentary criticizing Elon Musk.
Fight back. Defeat oligarchy. Preserve democracy.

Netanyahu called me a liar when settlers detained me, along with a NYT photographer, in Zanuta this past July.
Now, he is calling a Washington Post photographer a liar.
Netanyahu, you are the liar with the blood of Palestinian children on your hands.
The Prime Minister’s Office:
The facts surrounding the confrontation near Abu Falah, during which Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine was allegedly assaulted, remain unclear and are under investigation.
Israel unequivocally condemns violence against anyone—Jews, Arabs, Christians or journalists. Those responsible will be held accountable.
But serious questions remain. Reports indicate some 200 Arabs and far-left activists confronted approximately 40 Israeli youths. Footage shows masked individuals on both sides hurling objects, amid reports of fireworks fired at Jewish youths. Other footage appears to show Levine knocked down and immediately helped to her feet by the same unidentified individual.
The investigation must establish the facts, including who initiated the violence.
We will not allow disputed incidents to be exploited to demonize the hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria.
The facts must determine the conclusions. Not the headlines.

Agree to disagree. But let's chat timeline. If Musk actually sells this car with the rear thrusters in 2028 ill buy and publically give away $10k worth of your epic ModRetro Gameboys.
If Musk *does not* sell this car in 2028. (He won't) then you buy and give away $10k worth of my Paradox Wheelchairs.
Easy money. (for me).

The Carney govt can "affirm" whatever you tell them to. That doesn't make it true.
Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism.
War is not peace.
Anti-immigrant Islamophobia is not equality.
Forcing pipelines through Indigenous land is not reconciliation.
With the money you wield, you can lie and manipulate any government you want. It doesn't make your lies true.
@indjewishvoices
The Carney government has affirmed that antizionism is antisemitism.
Last week, in the House of Commons, the house of the Canadian people, MP @AHousefather has made it clear: there must be no place in Canada, the UK, or any country for a position that denies Israel’s right to exist.
Leaders across every sector of society must follow this example and confront antizionism wherever it appears.
