I don't believe that Zille is Joburg's saviour, but I do agree with the good professor's critique of our current (un)civil discourse. Disagreement ≠ hate. We are allowed to hold different opinions in the spirit of public debate. Democracy dies in our silences.
1. I have made the case for and look forward to Helen Zille becoming mayor of JHB. I will also probably reiterate my case for voting for her just before November 4. But now I want to reflect on the character of some of the engagement & what it means for progressive change.

“The state of Joburg is in calamity,” says RISEMzansi Mayoral Candidate Lukhona Mnguni, reflecting on what drew him towards the mayoral race. His decision marks a shift from plans to complete his PhD and write a book to confronting the challenges facing Johannesburg through public service. RISEMzansi’s Governance Plan sets out a roadmap for a city built on clean governance, reliable infrastructure and dignified services.

It was never “functioning” if it only worked for and served a small minority of the population.

Muito obrigado, querida presidenta @Claudiashein. Foi um prazer receber sua chamada telefônica no dia de hoje. Esta não é apenas uma vitória do povo brasileiro, mas de todas as democracias latino-americanas. Seguiremos juntos para defender as nossas soberanias e estreitar os laços de amizade e cooperação entre Brasil e México!
Viva la democracia, ganó el pueblo de Brasil. ¡Felicidades presidente Lula!

One week until Election Day. America deserves better than the pedophile protection party. Knock doors. Make calls. Get your friends to vote. Let’s elect Democrats up and down the ballot and finally make Trump release the Epstein files.

The most immoral army continues to slaughter children. Nearly daily. UN bodies and human rights groups have documented the pattern in detail. Anyone who denies it should read these reports. We keep receipts and there will be accountability. #PalestineTrials

But of course - finding the money is always the last part .
Holy shit. Dutch intelligence has uncovered Jared Kushner’s role as a Mossad agent.

Thanks for promoting the film, Jake! It's so antisemitic that almost every interviewee in the film is Jewish and it is former AIPAC officials themselves in the film saying they think AIPAC coordinated with the Israeli government and acted as a foreign agent. People can watch for themselves here: zeteo.com/p/watch-our-new-ai… As for spending, AIPAC's super PAC just spent $30 million in a single Senate race, a record even for AIPAC, so let's stop pretending that most other lobbies are coming anywhere close to AIPAC's spending ($100 million plus) in this 2026 election cycle. Facts don't care about your (paranoid) feelings.
Mehdi Hasan's Zeteo has a new documentary out on AIPAC, asking whether the "Israel lobby" is really an agent of a foreign power. A shadowy, fabulously rich network pulling Washington's strings: it's one of the most enduring antisemitic tropes of our age. So I did Mehdi a favour and checked the numbers. Over the past decade, Israel ranked tenth for registered foreign lobbying spending, behind China, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE and even the Marshall Islands. AIPAC came 191st among Washington's lobbies. The entire pro-Israel lobbying category spent less than gun-rights groups, and a fraction of what the drug companies spend. Elections? AIPAC's super PAC spends serious money. But it competes in a system where outside groups have poured in nearly $2 billion this cycle, and six organisations have each spent over $60 million. Strangely, Zeteo seems far less curious about Riyadh, Beijing or Doha. The truth about the Israel lobby. Link to my new column here 👇 jakewallissimons.com

Today is the first Israeli election since October 7, 2023, but it isn’t a democratic election. Because Israel isn’t a democracy.

Whatever the punditry, whatever the propaganda, whatever the election result in Israel: replacing Netanyahu with Eisenkot won’t end the occupation, apartheid or the genocide of the Palestinian people. Both are war criminals. Both uphold a system that subjects 7 million Palestinians between the river and the sea to occupation, domination and dispossession. Different faces, same Zionist ethnonationalist project. I repeat once again: Zionism is racism.

And this is why people must tamper their expectations and manage their excitement at the prospect of a Netanyahu defeat. It does not change society and the foundations on which it is built.
Daniel Levy | Former Israeli Peace Negotiator | US/Middle East Project (@USMEP): Netanyahu did not alone commit genocide for 3 years. He did not alone maintain decades of illegal occupation. It was system-wide. Eisenkot was part of it & served in the military. He sat in the emergency unity security cabinet after Oct. 7 - during the genocide. Israeli generals, soldiers & judges - all part of a system-wide mobilization. Dissenting voices existed but remained marginal.

Poucas pessoas até hoje me perguntaram de onde vem esse carinho, respeito e devoção que eu tenho pelo presidente Lula. Creio que nem ele mesmo sabe de onde vem. Então vou contar aqui de forma resumida: eu nasci muito pobre, filho de uma empregada doméstica, e por várias vezes a vida quis me fazer desistir, porém nesses momentos eu lembrava de um certo migrante nordestino, que nasceu na miséria, passou fome e decidiu mudar o país levando o povo pobre e o povo trabalhador a ser tratado com dignidade, através de inúmeras politicas publicas. Mas o curioso é que eu nunca fui beneficiário de nenhuma dessas políticas públicas, eu fui beneficiário da esperança que esse homem fez brotar em mim. É possível quantificar a quantidade de pessoas beneficiadas pelo que ele implementou, mas jamais teremos a dimensão de quantos ele permitiu sonhar! Feliz aniversário presidente Lula, que Deus continue abençoando o senhor e dando longa vida pra que o senhor continue cuidando do nosso povo! O Brasil parabeniza e reverencia o seu filho mais ilustre!

Se a esquerda mundial se unir, a gente varre a extrema direita da face da terra, EU GARANTO PRA VOCÊS! E aí seremos hegemônicos? Jamais! Somos democratas, voltaremos a nos dividir de acordo com nossas IDEIAS: esquerda x direita x centro x centro esquerda x centro direita e etc! E aí a extrema direita será apenas um capitulo da nossa história, tal qual o nazismo! Algo para jamais esquecermos e que deverá ficar como lição para nós, uma lição de que a defesa da democracia deve ser PERMANENTE!

This is why I trust @brettherron for Cape Town Mayor. He is principled. He is progressive. He is against spatial apartheid. He has city governing experience. He holds a Master of Science in Cities. For the people in JHB, take note. The DA will lie to you. #VoteGOOD 🙏🏾
Vindicated 🙏🏾 “The promise to integrate communities is a lie” #Tefelberg #BrettForMayor #RegisterToVoteGOOD
