If you’ve never been to a big protest like No Kings before: It feels great to be part of a big gathering of people who want to change things. It sparks joy, and resolve for the long fight ahead. Sometimes there are dance parties. You could be the one who starts the dance party! Just show up!

Angus Johnston @angus.bsky.social · 1d

If you can show up on October 18, you should. The country is shifting. The battleship is turning. And while, yes, usually mass street protests don't do much, there are exceptions.

And sometimes those exceptions go down in history.

Neste dia, em 1934, aconteceu a Batalha da Praça da Sé, conhecida como "A revoada dos galinhas verdes", onde militantes anarquistas, comunistas e social-democratas impediram a passeata da Ação Integralista. O jornalista e militante Fúlvio Abramo estava lá e conta os detalhes desta luta.

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

Eric Michael Garcia @ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 4d

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

@blackamazon.bsky.social credit to the Lula admin that proposed the bill and to the people who put the fear of Congress. They only did it because they were horrified by the people marching to protest them trying to pass a bill giving themselves immunity from criminal investigations

@blackamazon.bsky.social btw I haven't been posting but this week Brazil approved a bill to raise the income bracket that doesn't have to pay income taxes, and raised taxes (a little bit) on the super-rich to compensate for it. A historic unanimous vote.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Another confirmation of the "everyone is twelve now" theory.

Patrick Cosmos @veryimportant.lawyer:
working on a new unified theory of american reality i'm calling "everyone is twelve now"

"I'm strong and want to have like fifty kids and a farm" of course you do. You're twelve. "I don't want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal" hell yeah homie you're twelve. "Maybe if there's crime we should just send the army" bless your heart my twelve year old buddy

@libraryyeti.bsky.social supreme court has majority for keeping Moro a defendant in a defamation process. Apparently he accused supreme court minister Mendes of selling decisions. Mendes is not voting in this.

🦆⚖️ MORO CONTINUA RÉU, SIM

Primeira Turma do STF forma maioria e mantém Moro por imputar ao Ministro Gilmar Mendes o crime de corrupção passiva, acusando-o sem provas de vender HCs.

O julgamento virtual continua até dia 10/10, com votos de Zanin e Fux.

Montagem gráfica no estilo de placar esportivo com o título “ARENA STF” no topo, decorado com uma balança e uma bola de futebol. Abaixo, o subtítulo “EMBARGO DECL. – PET. 11199” em letras garrafais sobre fundo laranja. Em texto menor, é explicada a ação penal contra o senador Sérgio Moro, acusado de caluniar falsamente o ministro Gilmar Mendes ao imputar-lhe o crime de corrupção passiva.

No centro, o placar da votação aparece destacado:
✅ 00 x 03 ❌
À esquerda, o símbolo verde de “a favor” com zero votos; à direita, o símbolo vermelho de “contra” com três votos.

Na parte inferior, há cinco fotos dos ministros do STF em molduras circulares.

Três estão com moldura vermelha, indicando votos contrários: Cármen Lúcia (séria, com a mão no rosto), Alexandre de Moraes (encarando a câmera, expressão firme) e Flávio Dino (leve sorriso, toga preta).

Dois ministros estão em preto e branco, com moldura preta, sinalizando que ainda não votaram: Luiz Fux e Cristiano Zanin.

Rodapé com legenda colorida das categorias de voto e a assinatura visual “Camarote da CPI”.
