I'm glad to refresh—10 years later—this important & timely writing challenge based on @rosaclemente's powerful yet unconvincing claim in 2008 that @GreenPartyUS wasn't just an alternative, but an imperative for our times.
Tag folks you want to answer it!

Lula's win in Brazil has enormous implications for Latin America and the world! His defeat of Flávio Bolsonaro comes despite a fierce campaign by Brazil’s rightwing and the US. The Brazilian people have opted for national sovereignty! Go Lula.

Maryland voters are lucky to be able to vote for courageous journalist Sam Husseini for Congress instead of this Ivey guy, another Dem Party very well
paid political prostitute for Israel.
How the mighty have fallen.
⚡️ Mayor Zohran Mamdani's NYPD is poised to sign a three-year, $750,500 no-bid contract with Israeli surveillance firm Cognyte for FalcoNet, an AI-driven device that mimics a cell tower to track phones and can be mounted on police cars and drones or hidden in a backpack, the New York Daily News reported.
Cognyte won a tender to sell intercept spyware to Myanmar's state telecom weeks before the 2021 military coup, Reuters previously reported. Meta banned the firm the same year, saying its customers used fake accounts to target journalists and politicians in Kenya, Mexico and Indonesia.
The firm is part of an Israeli surveillance industry that grew big as a result of the military's monitoring of Palestinians, whose phone calls Israel's Unit 8200 has intercepted and stored by the millions, including to carry out genocide in Gaza and enforce a brutal illegal occupation in Jerusalem and the West Bank.

To get the government you want, you're going to have to vote for it.
Most people don't like the two-party system, but what do they do to break that system?

My Democratic and Republican opponents want Wisconsin election administration to be handled by partisans. I don't. Let's keep politics out of elections.

The Democrats WILL NOT fight for Medicare for All.
They will not fight for a living wage of at least $25 an hour.
They will not fight for ending all US aid to the genocidal, apartheid state of Israel.
They will not fight to cut record-high military budgets.
And Democrats will not impeach Trump for rampant corruption or for the war crime of bombing the Minab girls' school and killing 120 little children.
.@SenBrianSchatz says that if Democrats take the Senate, the party's left wing needs to be strategic about not proposing things "that the president of the United States is guaranteed to veto."
"If we want to be more aspirational, if we want to make more bold policy changes... that's for 2028."

For the second time today, Israel has bombed a university in Gaza, just as students were finally returning to their classrooms after months of devastation. Many students and university staff have been killed or injured.
Israel is determined to destroy even that hope, continuing its systematic destruction of education in Gaza.

🟢 Hamas is calling on the Arab League to hold an emergency meeting to confront Israel's policy of "re-starving" Gaza's population. Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem urged groups and movements across the Arab world to "take action on the ground" and pressure all parties to stop the starvation of Palestinians in Gaza.
He said Israel's renewed starvation policy cannot continue "amid the silence of the concerned parties."
The call comes as Israel lets in about 34% of the 600 aid trucks a day required under the ceasefire, according to a report the Palestinian side prepared for the truce's mediators. The UN's World Food Programme has also cut food aid to 500,000 people in Gaza over funding shortages.

Lula's victory is a victory for democracy, for the people over oligarchs, for climate action and the Amazon. And a defeat for Trump.

Lula: "What is happening in Gaza to the Palestinian people has no parallel in history. Actually, it did when Hitler decided to kill the Jews. Who is going to rebuild the destroyed homes? Who is going to give life back to the children killed, without knowing why they were dying?"
