Is Rick and Morty still a thing? Usually most anime adaptations of western media are boring (I remember that CN once made a two season powerpuff girls anime during the early 2000’s and it was boring and had none of the charm of the og cartoon).

A lot less to do with Lula, more to do with the Supreme Court. He already lost his political rights until 2032 and his passport.

There are so many cases against him, but I think the one that is going to send him to jail is the one about Abuse of Power. And there are some other cases.

“Get inside!” But in an informal way in Portuguese. The joke is that some bees attacked Bolsonaro, which is funnier when you learn that Bolsonaro was in Lula’s home region, where Lula won with 70% - 80% of the votes and pretty much everyone hates Bolsonaro there, even the bees.

Donald Trump mocks Kamala’s “totally communist” plan and calls the economic agenda the “Maduro Plan”. “That’s Maduro’s plan, Venezuela’s, just like in the old Soviet Union.”

I believe that most South American leftists like Evo. He was one of the main leaders during the so-called Bolivian Gas War in the 2000s, which was basically a left-wing revolution against the neoliberal governments of Bolivia and resulted in the election of Evo, who at the time was allied with a group of leftists.

Evo is known for saying things that are greatly exaggerated and then backtracking. He once said that he says some misogynistic things, but he considers himself a great feminist and has in fact improved women’s rights in Bolivia. I also believe he has a huge ego, because he actually solved Bolivia’s problems when he was president. Before Evo, Bolivia was practically a puppet of the US and Brazil (the two countries controlled all gas production in the country). When Evo became president, he nationalized all of this, which led him into trouble with the extreme right and the neoliberals in Santa Cruz.

After the coup and the election of Arce, Evo wanted to go back to Arce and control his government, which didn’t please Arce. While Evo represents a more radical faction within the MAS party, Arce represents a more social-democratic faction. I believe that Arce is very close to Lula da Silva, he even speaks Portuguese. The problem with this split is that Evo is still popular, and what he’s doing is basically allying himself with far-right Bolivians and people like Milei, who attack Arce.

Also, Álvaro García Linera was the leader of a communist guerrilla group. He didn’t even say anything bad about Evo, he basically said that Evo and Arce should stop fighting and get back together. That way, the right will have no chance of winning an election.

The Michigan Bureau of Elections on Friday disqualified independent presidential candidate Cornel West, the civil rights activist and philosopher, along with his running mate from appearing on the Nov. 5 General Election ballot over a technical violation of state law.

Jonathan Brater, Michigan’s elections director, wrote the West campaign a letter dated Friday saying that the affidavits of identity submitted to the Secretary of State’s Office in June for West and his vice presidential running mate, Melina Abdullah, were not properly notarized.

The West campaign did not immediately respond to an email from the Free Press about the disqualification on Friday.
