Stop it Russians! Leave @Alyssa_Milano alone! Really tired of this Kremlin obsession with "Who's the Boss?" I mean, fine, it wasn't the greatest show, but it's been decades. Time to let it go, Putin. #MoveOn

🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
When these ghouls get back into power, are they going to continue to insist all their critics are really just Russian bots & Kremlin agents? I hope they don't really believe this - that it's just a cynical ploy to manipulate liberal rubes - but who knows?

Also, follow @rosemcgowan if you don't. She's the real deal. And extremely smart.

The most consequential - yet overlooked - Trump era change is many debates are no longer shaped by old left/right divisions, but instead by who loves, respects, and is loyal to institutions of authority (Dems) and who believes they're fundamentally corrupted (Trump supporters).
Today's NYT column by @ezraklein notes obvious exceptions (abortion, gun control), yet argues the key difference between Kamala and Trump voters is how much one likes US ruling institutions.

Hence, Dems love CIA, FBI, DHS, corporate media. Even views of corporate power changed. Image
@ezraklein Think about key debates. Which is right or left?

- Trust in large media corporations.
- Opposition to BigTech/state internet censorship.
- Opposition to funding endless wars (Ukraine).
- Eagerness to remain tied to NATO and EU-based institutions.

While many people in the West believe that Russia/Putin are "isolated" - because their media tells them that -- 2 dozen world leaders are in Russia now for a 3-day BRICS conference.

BRICS itself includes the 2 most-populous countries and 4 of the top 10 most populous.
Beyond the founding 5 (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa), it expanded to 5 more (including key US "partners" Egypt, UAE and maybe Saudi).

They "account for 45% of the global population" and 28% of global economy.

Key goal: a financial system independent of US dollar.
There's Western skepticism and even mockery that this huge confederation of countries -- united over perceived abuses of US/EU sanctions -- could create a non-dollar system. @TheEconomist takes it seriously.

Either way, this is not "isolation" of Putin:

Inacreditável que Alexandre de Moraes esteja constantemente concentrando em si próprio a figura de suposta vítima, investigador policial, promotor e o juiz - em seus próprios interesses.

Não há democracia onde uma pessoa pode investigar criminalmente o jornalismo que a reporta.
"Todos temos medo do superjuiz Moraes, menos aqueles que são os seus puxa-sacos" -- @lf_ponde, na @Folha.

Pondé sobre como Moraes não tem limites em seus poderes, e todos, exceto seus adoradores, têm medo de questioná-lo.

Image
@lf_ponde @folha Aqui também: um ótimo artigo de @lygia_maria sobre a visão perturbada e perigosa de Moraes, a marca registrada de uma mentalidade tirana:

Que qualquer crítica ou questionamento feita ele é em si "um ataque à democracia" e, portanto, um crime.

There are few people in the democratic world more powerful or tyrannical than Moraes. He believes he is Brazilian democracy itself, and thus any criticisms of him are a criminal attack on the state.

Brazil's left views him as a deity, since he censors/imprisons their opponents.
On Tuesday, we began reporting in @Folha on a massive archive of data we obtained from his chambers between his top aides (6gb).

After the first day, the left united to defend him because they see him as infallible, and he called our reporting a plot to destroy democracy.
It's hard to explain the cult-like adoration the left has for him. No matter what he does - ban people from the internet or imprison them with no due process or trial - they go online and type "Eu autorizo, Xandão!" (we support you, Great Alexandre!).

It's sick to watch.👇

Not even herd animals are this flagrant about it. You tell me how and why corporate media constantly speaks from the same exact script this way, verbatim. #KamalaIsJOY

More here on Kamala and the Power of JOY:

washingtonexaminer.com/daily-memo/311…
There are countless large media outlets in the last 5 days alone who have all published large pieces calling Kamala's campaign THE POLITICS OF JOY.

Not happiness, not glee, not delight, not jubilation. They all have to use the same word. One more, from The Atlantic, of course. Image

I find it so interesting when long-obvious truths suddenly are acknowledged in mainstream circles.

Here, in the WPost, even @TaylorLorenz (!!) admits that the hordes of #Resistance freaks and anti-Trump obsessives are as conspiratorial and deranged as what they claim QAnon is:
Here's @SohrabAhmari in the @NewStatesman on how many prominent liberals -- not anonymous Twitter trolls but major DNC donors and academics -- are deranged and drowning in moronic conspiracy theories.

This has been obvious since Russiagate insanity:

newstatesman.com/international-…
@SohrabAhmari @NewStatesman Just by the way: a non-trivial sector of the Brazilian left still believes the 2018 stabbing attack on Jair Bolsonaro was fake -- despite doctor testimony, his multiple surgeries, etc. -- and now believes the same about the attack on Trump.🇧🇷

Includes a beloved Congress member. Image
