Yes, André Janones won Lula the presidency by getting 10m people, 7% of the electorate to join his WhatsApp channel.
But that doesn't mean it was just poasting and hyperpolitics. There was a lot of this kind of thing 👇
A great comeback from Lula to a denigrating remark from the authoritarian/fascist candidate Bolsonaro which clearly contributed to his incredible victory last night. – at Manhattan, NY

Cuando los brasileños se dieron cuenta que Musk y Zuckerberg estaban manipulando el algoritmo para interferir en elecciones de su país se volcaron hacia las RRSS y la llenaron de videos de Lula elaborados con IA.
Fenómeno social a estudiarse por décadas.

El que abraza a Lula es @AndreJanonesMG el diputado que con un canal de WhatsApp rompió el bloqueo de Meta y las otras empresas tecnológicas, y cambió la campaña después de la derrota en primera vuelta.
Hijo de una empleada domestica y un padre discapacitado, se pagó su carrera de abogado trabajando como cobrador de pasajes en los buses.
Su canal de WhatsApp (donde creó el “Ejército de Lula) pasó de 50 mil personas en primera vuelta a 10 millones para la segunda.
Sin el trabajo de Janones no hay remontada, Lula lo sabe y por eso el reconocimiento de ayer.
Como anécdota, fue quien convenció a Lula de finalmente usar teléfono celular, un iPhone.
Ahhh y reivindicó la camiseta de la selección Brasil para la campaña, de la que se había apropiado el bolsonarismo.
Esta é a foto que está estampando a vitória de Lula nos principais jornais do mundo (vi no The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian e no The Times).
Bastante representativa para ilustrar a importância de @AndreJanonesMG nesta campanha! Arrisco dizer que sem Janones, Lula não teria virado. E Lula reconheceu isso. Só Alckmin e Janones receberam o microfone para discursar na Paulista.
Não há dúvidas que, descontado o próprio Lula, André Janones é o nome que sai maior desse pleito presidencial. E com altas credenciais para disputar o governo de Minas Gerais pelo PT em 2030.
Por hora, espero que seja nomeado Secretário de Comunicação Social ainda em Lula 3! Tem tudo para conseguir cumprir a promessa que acabou de fazer: garantir que Lula termine o próximo governo com uma aprovação beirando os 90%.

“It was like this biblical battle where the Palestinian men … went in front of me to protect … me and my rescuers from being attacked again,” Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine told Jake Tapper.
Levine was kicked, beaten with clubs and robbed by Israeli settlers while covering Friday’s olive harvest in the occupied West Bank, leaving her with multiple broken bones. Speaking after leaving the hospital, she said Israeli soldiers charged Palestinian farmers as settlers advanced alongside them. She said that unlike her, Palestinian victims endure these attacks daily, with absolutely nowhere safe to go.
“Let me die,” American photojournalist Heidi Levine repeats to journalists Jasper Nathaniel as they try to outrun masked Israeli settlers who attacked her on Friday while she covered the olive harvest in the West Bank village of Abu Falah, near Ramallah.
Around 80 settlers attacked Palestinian olive harvesters in the village, AP reported. The Palestinian Red Crescent said it treated six people injured in two attacks in Abu Falah.
Levine, a freelancer for the Washington Post, told the Committee to Protect Journalists that the settlers knocked her down and kicked her for at least 10 minutes, even after she identified herself as an American journalist. They stole her camera, phone and bag. She was eventually taken to a hospital in Ramallah.
"The IDF provided cover, with tear gas and machine guns, while the settlers beat" Levine "nearly to death," Nathaniel wrote, adding that soldiers then shot a Palestinian bystander and aimed their guns at and shoved paramedics trying to treat him. AP photos and circulating videos show Israeli soldiers standing over a wounded Palestinian man after they shot him.
Andrey X, an activist also at the scene, said a Palestinian man "saved our lives from the settler-terrorists who attacked the olive harvesters and journalists” armed only with a slingshot.

Cuando era joven, Lula da Silva perdió un dedo debido a las malas condiciones laborales. En el debate de hoy, Flávio Bolsonaro lo llamó “nueve dedos”.
“No permito que un miliciano, un burgués que nunca trabajó, me llame nueve dedos”, disparó el presidente, obligando al candidato ultraderechista a pedirle disculpas.

This is an abhorrent attack from Vivek Ramaswamy against @amyactonoh, who is a survivor of physical and sexual abuse by her mother’s husband.
Dr. Acton overcame immense challenges to serve Ohio. She will make a tremendous governor.
Voters must send Vivek packing on November 3.

Οι εκλογές της Κυριακής θα καθορίσουν τη μοίρα της βραζιλιάνικης δημοκρατίας, τη μοίρα της λατινοαμερικανικής κυριαρχίας και την σωτηρία των τροπικών δασών του Αμαζόνιου — δηλαδή, τη μοίρα ολόκληρης της Ανθρωπότητας.
Σ' έναν υγιή κόσμο, οι εντεινόμενες προσπάθειες του Τραμπ και του Ζάκερμπεργκ να επαναφέρουν τον Μπολσονάρο στην εξουσία θα αποτελούσαν πρωτοσέλιδο, αλλά, δυστυχώς… δεν είμαστε αρκετά τυχεροί να ζούμε σε σ' έναν τέτοιο κόσμο.
Αντ' αυτού, ζούμε σ' έναν κόσμο που κάνει τα στραβά μάτια όσο Τραμπ και Ζάκερμπεργκ επενδύουν τόσα στη νίκη Μπολσονάρο (δηλαδή στην ήττα της Ανθρωπότητας) στον δεύτερο γύρο της Κυριακής.

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.

I'm in the West Bank this week as part of the “Protect the Harvest” coalition along with @israelispeaceny, @ucpinpalestine & Protect the Harvest, which is bringing people together from around the world to help Palestinian farmers harvest olives in the face of state-sanctioned settler terrorism.
Our goals for the trip are to help protect the olive harvest — and to shed a light on the reality of the occupation. To ensure that international solidarity goes beyond the harvest, to become a sustained commitment to protecting Palestinian communities from settler violence, forced displacement, and the ongoing threats to their right to remain on their land.
And, speedily and in our day, to secure human rights, safety, equality & freedom for both Palestinians and Israelis.
Thankfully, our corner of today's harvest was peaceful and successful. But violence unfortunately is never far away.
We’ll keep you posted on our efforts this week, especially the stories we hear from Palestinians on the ground. Protect the Harvest.

Elon Musk says that if Starlink was cut off, it was all on Donald Trump. He had nothing to do with it.
The media needs to ask Trump about this NOW!
