Despite how happy I am for Brazil, the hypocrisy of the international applause is hard to ignore. The same actors cheering Lula’s 4th term called Chávez a dictator for it and vilified PSUV for “human rights abuses” while turning a blind eye to Lula’s troops committing rape and war crimes in Haiti. Lula is afforded their sympathy because he maintained neoliberal economics, played nice with Noboa and Jolani, blocked Venezuela from BRICS, and aligned with U.S. intervention abroad. This election result is, without a doubt, a victory for the sovereignty of Latin America against egregious election interference. But not all those applauding are cheering for our sovereignty. And, as yet another Latin American country joins U.S. mercenaries in Haiti, it’s pretty gross that certain ‘human rights activists’ (especially the Latin American pachamama libs) ignore the stain on humanity that was MINUSTAH simply because it was in service of the U.S. interests.

Incumbent President Lula just won Brazil's run-off by over 4 million votes, despite a coordinated US interference campaign, but right-wing Senator Flávio Bolsonaro is demanding the results be annulled anyway. ￭ His argument: the Supreme Court extended polling hours after Bolsonarista local officials deliberately disrupted public transit to suppress turnout. Even the Bolsonaro-appointed Supreme Electoral Court president confirmed the extension changed nothing, and the results have "absolute certainty." ￭ The Bolsonaro family's 2022 coup attempt ended in prison sentences and exile. Flávio is under active federal investigation for money laundering, corruption, and sex trafficking. His brother Eduardo is already urging him to flee to the US. ￭ The past year has seen immense setbacks in Latin America, with the rise of US-backed right wing regimes in Honduras, Peru, and Colombia, and the return of US neocolonialism to Venezuela. Lula’s victory is a popular refusal of this US dominance, and it is a mandate to do far more to resist it. By @CallaWalsh

"Lula’s victory is a popular refusal of US regional dominance, and it is a mandate to do far more to resist it."

And this is why we should reject the tendency to frame anti-imperialist solidarity through the lens of self-interest. This argument, that foreign military intervention/violence should be opposed simply because it diverts public funds from domestic healthcare or social programs, is rooted in social-chauvinism.

Ahora, petróleo para Cuba

Now oil for Cuba

Reminder that Flávio Bolsonaro is linked to ongoing investigations of money laundering, corruption, and human trafficking, and his brother Eduardo (sentenced to prison in absentia and hiding out in the US) publicly advised Flávio on Friday to flee Brazil when he loses

They’ll try to pull something still but wow, what a comeback

I have just published an article analyzing what is shared by Palestinian resistance factions' recent commentary on the forthcoming Knesset elections & the US-'Israel' relationship ('dog- vs tail-wagging'), adding a translation of Qaddoumi's interview today with IRINN. Link below

Lula has won the vote outside of Brazil so far. Polls are set to close at 5pm. Lula's campaign requested to keep them open for longer in response to deliberate voter suppression and public transit closures by Bolsonarista local authorities.

Today, three Islamic University of Gaza security staff attained shahāda in an occupation airstrike on the university’s western entrance while on duty: Ashraf Dahlan, Shadi Abu Ataya, and Sami Baroud. An earlier strike injured several students, one critically.

Bolsonarismo's coup attempt continues: Municipalities governed by Bolsonaristas are limiting public transit, deliberately hindering voters from getting to the polls. Higher abstention rates favor Flávio. At least one municipal official has been ordered arrested, in Salvador, Bahia, by the regional court. The PT requested that a São Paulo secretary also be arrested, and the Lula campaign is requesting polls stay open for longer as a result of the intentional public transportation delays. Currently polls are set to close at 5pm, which is awfully early.

Journalists have been largely silent on this travesty, an arrest seemingly designed just to convince wealthy people never to donate to survivors of a western genocide. Spain gave the US Chambers's phone. There is no rule of law.

“I’ve never seen anything like this in an extradition case,” Fergie's attorney said. “Spanish judicial authorities can’t surrender control over the personal effects of a person sought in extradition just because a foreign government has asked for them… and now a judge has secretly turned over Fergie’s phone to the US.”

🚨 “Chambers’s legal team discovered that [Fergie’s] phone was no longer in the custody of the national court in Madrid and had been turned over to the FBI…” Where is the law? Apparently, no where to be found in this case of political persecution. theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

"A call for any invasion of Cuba will be met with insurrectional uprisings and a total paralysis of economic activity in this hemisphere. Let everyone who considers themselves a friend of Cuba—or claims to be one—express their militant and active solidarity in this way."
