Waiting for UK to evict Palantir, golden child of Peter Thiel's fascistic, deluded mind?
Don't hold your breath. Britain has been a client state of the US since ww2.
Thiel, et al. paid for Trump's 2024 win. Trump does what he was paid to do, eg, shower Palantir with overpaid contracts & telling client states to do the same. As a client state, Britain does what it's told, incl evicting potential Corbyns.
The Guardian tried:
And Lula da Silva wins! Fending off "a right-wing movement led by Flávio Bolsonaro."
So the trend continues. A very close race though! "Lula received 51.8 percent of the vote, versus 48.2 percent for Flávio Bolsonaro, with 99.9 percent of the ballots counted, according to official preliminary results."
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva won an unprecedented fourth term on Sunday, the country's electoral court said, in a shock result that defied polls, precedent and global anti-incumbent sentiment. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/10/26/world/politics/brazil-lula-election-victory/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #brazil #luizinacioluladasilva #flaviobolsonaro #jairbolsonaro #southamerica
Wonderful news from #Brazil and #Serbia. There is some hope after all. Amazing what the student protests and social movements in both countries achieved in getting people out to vote. Sustained resistance toppled Serbia's Trump aligned leader. Latin America's shift to the right has been halted for now with Lula's re-election. What a relief.
i am so incandescent with rage over those political ads i am currently 630 miles from abu sayed's #michigan district and 1,700 from talarico's! why are there racist,ads about sayed and homophobic ads about #talarico on air here?! this is so fucking evil. it has happened every godsdamned election my entire life and it is always the #republicans running them!😩 in omaha in 2020 we had #maga PACs robocalling latino voters telling them they could vote over the entire week!#uspol #2026elections
Bravo! ✊ 💚 ❤️ 🙏
Lula has staged a historic comeback, defeating Flávio Bolsonaro to secure a fourth term as Brazil’s president. The result marks a dramatic turnaround after he narrowly lost the first round. 🇧🇷🗳️ #Brazil #Lula https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/oct/26/lula-wins-brazil-election

Brazil runoff live updates: ballot count resumes after two-hour voting extension https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2026/oct/25/brazil-election-runoff-live-updates-flavio-bolsonaro-lula?CMP=share_btn_url
"Prominent pollster sees Lula victory even amid early vote count
With only just over a third of Brazil’s votes counted and Bolsonaro holding a tiny lead, a prominent pollster has predicted Lula will win.
Citing the ongoing vote count in the presidential runoff vote, CEO of pollster AtlasIntel Andrei Roman made the assessment in remarks to Reuters."
“They had a similar background and outlook in other ways, too, including their north-western Sydney upbringing and a small-business mindset.”
That involvement has continued to the present day, with current federal Liberal leader Angus Taylor regularly praising the Brethren and calling out one of the church’s charities, the Rapid Relief Team, for its work in the community.
Reflecting on John Howard’s involvement with the Brethren over the course of his political career, a spokesman for the former prime minister tells The Saturday Paper that the characterisation of him in Bachelard’s book “is like a curate’s egg – it’s good in parts”.
“Many of the economic views attributed to him only evolved over time. He has constantly said that he did not bring rigid ideologic attitudes with him into parliament,” the spokesman says.
“Mr Howard adheres strongly to the view that individual Australians or groups are free to either offer or receive help from others during the course of election campaigns – provided all conduct is within the law.”
In an opinion piece published in The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald earlier this month, former Western Australian Liberal senator Linda Reynolds revealed how in the final weeks of the campaign a senior party official asked her to meet two men described as small businesspeople wanting to help. She recognised them as Brethren members and said they were seeking confidential campaign information and individual logins to Feedback, the party’s voter-contact system, so they could phone voters from their own premises.
Reynolds refused. While she was assured the party would “turn off” its involvement with the Brethren in Western Australia, she soon saw Brethren members arrive in growing numbers at pre-poll booths, briefed by people who weren’t part of the Liberal Party’s local campaign teams, making other volunteers feel uncomfortable and at times intimidated.

When Reynolds raised her concerns in the party room, some colleagues accused her of religious discrimination, an attack line used repeatedly by Coalition members of the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters as they tried to mitigate or deflect questions to Bruce and Gareth Hales and other witnesses during other public hearings.
Even though Reynolds did not allege specific misconduct, she noted that the church’s submission to the committee inquiry denied coordinating its members while acknowledging the many Brethren volunteers “clearly were” coordinated.
“So, if the church did not co-ordinate them, who did?” Reynolds wrote.
According to another Liberal moderate from New South Wales, whenever the Liberal Party turns to the Brethren, it ends up backfiring.

🤔 Ah, the irony of a "historic win" when Serbia's #students finally realize their #votes might actually count! 🎓🎉 Meanwhile, #Vucic wins the consolation prize for the best #concession speech in a #democracy where enabling JS is seemingly harder than toppling an incumbent. 🤷♂️📉

Some hopeful news from Serbia!
Aleksandar Vučić concedes defeat to a student-led movement in the parliamentary elections, after nearly two years of protests.
A reminder that political change is still possible, even after years of democratic backsliding.
Something to inspire us and keep hope alive.

"There could be a crime"
That's one hell of a lazy basis for a civil lawsuit and in itself the proof of weaponization of the DoJ.
Imagine all the lawsuits that will be filed against Todd Blanche, therefore, starting in 2029. Or sooner, at the state level, under the claim that federal preemption does not apply to local crimes -- he may have committed state election law crimes; he may have committed state civil rights; etc.
"Brazil’s Supreme Court rules to extend voting by two hours
Brazil’s Supreme Court, in a rare move, ruled to extend voting by two hours after complaints by Lula’s campaign about public transport issues."

BC Conservatives receive 69% of the seats with 48% of the vote. BC voters cheated by first-past-the-post and pushed further towards a two-party system.
Only 48% of BC voters supported the BC Conservatives, yet the voting system has handed Lorne Doerkson's Conservatives 69% of the seats and 100% of the power.
The election results did not reflect what voters said with their ballots:
The BC Conservatives got 69% of the seats with 48% of the vote.
The BC NDP got 29% of the seats with 38% of the vote.
The BC Greens got 2% of the seats with 11% of the votes, electing only 2 MLAs to represent their voters.
CentreBC got no seats with 1.6% of the votes
First-past-the-post is to blame for giving former Premier David Eby the incentive to waste millions of dollars on an unnecessary, opportunistic snap election.
While the political right was temporarily split into several competitive parties, Eby saw an opportunity to sail to another majority govt w a minority vote.
Alle 16:00, il 56,4% degli aventi diritto aveva votato nelle elezioni parlamentari in #Serbia
Alla stessa ora delle elezioni del 2023, l'affluenza era stata decisamente inferiore: 42,1%.
Oltre all'alta affluenza, si continuano a registrare un gran numero di irregolarità, con un crescente numero di episodi di violenza fuori dai seggi elettorali.

#Jan6 was no insurrection, it was a failed coup. They were not rioters - people riot for valid reasons - they were #radicalized #WhiteSupremacist #terrorists.
A comment on below post added that the January 6th Commission uncovered failed attempts to persuade our military to seize #VotingMachines where GOP lost. So, 6-pronged attack last time.
>This time they have embedded election-deniers in senior positions in many states, & they will challenge in more courts than ever.

It's unlikely, but we can still hope that conservatives in other provinces notice B.C. Conservatives won by dumping a toxic leader and moving towards the centre, not the other way around. 🤷
Also, let all parties learn that calling a cynical, opportunistic snap election can backfire (as also happened to David Peterson in Ontario in 1990).

“Donald Trump on Friday ordered the U.S. Department of Justice to preemptively sue Alaska to block the state from certifying the results of its upcoming Senate race if the Republican candidate loses.
The reason behind his unprecedented interference in the race stems from claims that voters might be confused because a candidate on the ballot, Dan J. Sullivan Jr., has a similar name to the incumbent Republican senator, Dan S. Sullivan, running for the Alaskan Senate seat.
The DOJ's lawsuit, filed in federal court in Anchorage on Thursday, states the Trump administration will contest the results of the November 3rd midterm elections if the Republican loses the race to Democrat Mary Peltola.
The DOJ goes on to ask a judge to block the certification of an outcome... “
