It's time to call your reps - and this time let's focus on shutting down ICE, abolishing it, and trying the criminals that run it.

One of the main reasons people are seeking alternatives to Big Tech social media is the threat these platforms pose to democracy, particularly through algorithms that amplify polarization and hate speech. If we can't convince democratic institutions and influential public figures to join the #Fediverse, its potential to make political communication less dependent on Big Tech infrastructure will remain very limited. I don't blame the many journalists and civil society organizations that have chosen #Bluesky instead. They are important allies in defending democracy. That's one of the main reasons I believe bridges between these two decentralized spaces are so important. #Journalism #Democracy #BigTech #SocialMedia #LeaveX #JustBridge

RE: https://kolektiva.social/@personalescrito/117395420360960415 #Brazil: "The outcome of the October 4 election strengthens authoritarianism and Bolsonarism within the National Congress. This poses a clear threat to democracy in our country. False information bubbles and the lawless environment of social media have fostered a sentiment of rejection rather than one of nation-building and shaping the future. It is legitimate to desire change; steering that change toward the abyss and authoritarianism is very dangerous. We still have the opportunity, in the second round of the presidential election, to prevent the coup plotters from regaining control of the executive branch—now with even fewer safeguards than in the previous term. We cannot normalize the coup d’état or the violence." #Brazilelections2026 #farright #indigenous #environment #fascism #violence #democracy

"O resultado do pleito eleitoral do dia 4 de outubro fortalece o autoritarismo e o bolsonarismo dentro do Congresso Nacional. Isto representa uma ameaça evidente à democracia em nosso país. Através da Plataforma Congresso Anti-Indígena, o Cimi colocou à disposição da sociedade, durante esta campanha eleitoral, dados e informações que escancaram como a bancada majoritária da direita e da extrema direita no Congresso Nacional tem atuado, de forma sistemática, contra os direitos dos povos indígenas e contra a Constituição Federal. Essa mesma bancada reacionária foi responsável pela fragilização da política de proteção ambiental, pelas tentativas de blindagem dos parlamentares e pela legitimação da grilagem, além de impedir avanços sociais como o fim da escala 6×1. Muitos desses parlamentares, envolvidos em casos de corrupção e de violência, foram reeleitos. Bolhas informativas falaciosas e as ruas sem lei das redes sociais induziram a um sentimento de rejeição e não de construção de país, de futuro. Desejar a mudança é legítimo; conduzir a mudança para o abismo e o autoritarismo é muito perigoso. Ainda temos a oportunidade, no segundo turno das eleições para a presidência da República, de evitar que os golpistas retome o controle sobre o poder Executivo, agora com ainda menos salvaguardas do que no ciclo anterior. Não podemos naturalizar o golpe de Estado nem a violência" https://cimi.org.br/2026/10/nota-segundo-turno-democracia/ #eleicoes2026 #bolsonarismo #autoritarismo #extremadireita #corrupcao #violencia #ciminacional #Brasil

TL;DR:

  1. Flávio Bolsonaro: 47.03% (56.1 million votes)
  2. Lula: 45.16% (53.9 million votes)

The result was much better for the far right than I expected. It’s now very difficult to see Bolsonaro losing the second round.

My feeling that we were heading for a repeat of 2018 was right. At least this time, it won’t come as a surprise.

Prepare for an Americas increasingly dominated by the right and far right.

Europe may soon find itself as one of the last major strongholds of liberal democracy, until the far right takes power in France and/or Germany, which increasingly seems to be the direction we’re heading.

The GOP and Trump are doing so bad a Kansas Senate seat is a dead heat. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/04/us/politics/kansas-senate-race-hamilton-marshall.html #uspol #kansas #democracy
Why Kansas Has Suddenly Moved to Center of the Fight for Senate Control

Why Kansas Has Suddenly Moved to Center of the Fight for Senate Control

The state hasn’t elected a Democrat to the Senate in nearly a century. Economic challenges during President Trump’s second term, as well as other factors, have put it in play.

Trump and the GOP keep losing. Keep pushing back, keep calling, keep running for office, keep protesting, and keep voting! The GOP's plans to redistrict and steal your votes may be backfiring. https://apnews.com/article/midterms-redistricting-vance-texas-florida-trump-044e57af6f5b778f9fb82b9a8b3331ea Ken Paxton think's Trump's "Convention" hurt him. He may also want to ask if being a corrupt sociopath hurt him too. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/us/politics/ken-paxton-trump-midterm-convention.html Dems boost our odds in Nevada. https://www.politico.com/newsletters/playbook/2026/09/30/dems-boost-their-odds-in-nevada-01098829 #politics #uspol #democracy

Republican redistricting in Texas and Florida may not turn out as Trump had hoped

Eric Flores is a former federal prosecutor and Army National Guard infantry captain. He's also one of the Republican Party's prized recruits in this year's midterm elections.
