Do the Americans know of historical events other than 9/11? America is helping Israel commit 9/11 in Gaza every single day................

No debt. Perfect weight. 8 hours of sleep. Mental health in check. Clean diet. Zero alcohol. That was my prime era. I was 10.
It would take 100 American brains to spell Lula

It’s deeply disrespectful to us Brazilians, who spent 20 days mobilizing across the country, standing up to Big Tech and imperialist forces, to credit our victory as a nation to an American billionaire who said absolutely nothing about our elections. Delete this shit, @Variety.

Seven years ago, Lula was in prison serving an unjust conviction.
Today, he is the re-elected president of Brazil.
In 2018, he said “there is no point in trying to end my ideas, they are already lingering in the air”.
Lula’s ideas don't just linger. They live!
Viva Lula!

Congratulations to @LulaOficial and the people of Brazil on his historic fourth term, defeating Trump-backed Flávio Bolsonaro's far-right divisive campaign. A victory for democracy and proof that the far right is not invincible!

Lula is an extraordinarily charismatic leader but success of Workers Party (PT) in 21st century Brazil (held power last 18/24 yrs) can also be a model for organization of left-of-centre parties in global South, including India.
Wrote about it before.

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva came from behind to win Brazil’s runoff election, halting a right-wing wave sweeping Latin America and defying predictions that the 80-year-old political veteran had finally reached the end of his extraordinary career. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
The BJP practises untouchability against this silver spoon elite leader. You are defending criminals.

Strongly condemn these remarks. Insulting the Hon'ble Prime Minister and his late father is not political courage. It is a shameful and arrogant disregard for public decency and the people’s mandate. It exposes the mind-set of silver-spoon elite that cannot accept a leader who rose through the democratic process and successively earned the mandate of millions.

Smth so fake about US politics. Compared to places where politics is less professionally managed & still about substantive contestations.
Here's Lula's speech before turning himself in. Can see what Rousseau described as politically-educated passions, not de-politicized vibes.

Jamia Millia Islamia announces resumption of student union elections after two decades. In an order issued on Monday, the university administration said the elections would be held within 15 days of the approval of the students’ union constitution.
“The Jamia Millia Islamia Students’ Union Election will be held after 15 days, from the date of approval of the constitution of the Students’ Union of Jamia Millia Islamia,” the order stated.
The announcement comes after days of protests by students, who have been demanding the restoration of the elected students’ union, which was dissolved by the university administration in 2006.
