Majakovsk has defined Trump’s “disaster” as even more serious, claiming that the U.S. Treasury could not use a license to circumvent the federal law that prohibited imports from Russia. He added that any potential policy change would require a 30-day advance notice to Congress and that, in his view, Russian ships would not be able to clear goods and would remain in port without unloading them. The author criticized the political class, accusing it of acting without respecting the rules and of not knowing them. Regarding the tanker headed for the United States, he stated that it probably carried fertilizer, perhaps urea, and not diesel: he specified that no data on the cargo was available and that confirmation would only come upon docking. He also argued that the timing did not match and that in the past tankers had already transported fertilizer instead of oil. Finally, Majakovsk predicted a sharp decline in pro-Russian bots on X. While acknowledging that there was no circumstantial evidence of farm bots on Yandex, he claimed that state control was so strong that their presence was “practically certain.” According to him, the disruption of bots and services on Yandex would likely have made many accounts on the platform less active as well. #Trump #Russia #Politica (translated)

Xico Graziano criticized Lilia Schwacz for a video in which, according to him, the professor said she would use Pix as much as possible because Flávio Bolsonaro could end the system by order of Donald Trump. Graziano classified the statement as false and questioned whether Schwacz knew this or truly believed that a victory for Bolsonaro would leave Brazil subservient to the United States. The author highlighted that Schwacz was a professor of Anthropology at USP, a Global Scholar from Princeton, an award-winning writer, and the owner of the publishing house Cia das Letras. He also stated that she was elected to the Brazilian Academy of Letters in March 2024 for chair 9. Graziano compared the video to her inauguration speech two years earlier, in which, according to him, Schwacz had advocated for the strengthening of institutions and citizenship. Graziano questioned whether the professor had used her prestige to deceive the public and speculated about the reasons for the publication, mentioning the possibility that she had consumed alcohol or was out of touch with reality due to living in an academic bubble. He also associated the episode with what he described as an old ideology of the Brazilian intellectual left, formed in the 1950s and 1960s and still linked to the class struggle. #FakeNews #Cidadania #Antropologia (translated)

The author wrote that Heinrich XIII, Prince Reuß, has been in pre-trial detention for almost four years without a verdict. He confronted Reuß for more than 80 minutes with topics such as the "Earth Alliance," kidnapped children, and coup plans, and asked whether these were bizarre fantasies or a planned coup d'état. He invited people to get a picture for themselves via a link. https://t.co/iQjZE7ndSf #Justiz #Politik #Deutschland #DE (translated)

Lia Bencivenga said she had not followed and did not want to follow a program she considered dishonest. Commenting on the discussions about the so-called Dossier K, she argued that its contents were verifiable in the SITs of the cited individuals and that even Stasi's defense had had suspicions about the Kappa family, without this constituting a crime. Bencivenga added that the dossier and the numerous emails sent to the Prosecutor's Office were on record and that nothing had been hidden. She then wondered why the person she called "Miss FBI" was so interested in knowing the author of the dossier, while, according to her, she showed no interest in the concealment of decisive results attributed to the RIS of Garofano and another involved person. She also criticized that person's reaction to the "personal consulting," which, in her opinion, had been found in the RIS files even though it had never been requested, submitted, or signed. Finally, Bencivenga criticized four people who were following that case, claiming that they had poor critical reading skills and were attracted to malice and meanness. She asked the person called "Miss FBI" if she checked the documents before becoming indignant. #mostri #garlasco #dossierK #giustizia (translated)

The author noted that Pedro Passos Coelho would give an interview to Maria João Avillez on SIC Notícias, between 9 PM and 10 PM, and argued that his governance should be reassessed in light of the financial conditions he encountered. According to the author, Portugal had already requested external assistance when Passos Coelho arrived at the Government in 2011, and the adjustment program of 78 billion euros had been negotiated before he took office. He maintained that during the legislature, exports rose from about one-third of GDP to nearly 40% in 2015, including tourism, and that the tourism sector gained strategic momentum. Regarding privatizations, he acknowledged that some operations were questionable and warranted scrutiny but argued that they allowed the collection of billions of euros, the amortization of public debt, and reduce financing needs and interest burdens. He also considered that cuts in the public sector were painful but questioned what the alternatives would have been when the State could no longer finance itself normally. The author further highlighted that Portugal completed the financial assistance program in 2014 and returned to market financing without a precautionary program, recovering, in his view, decision-making leeway. He stated that Passos Coelho was the most relevant politician of the century in Portugal for having made unpopular decisions and contributed to an economic change whose effects surpassed his Government. #Portugal #Política #Economia (translated)

The brotherhood of the tech bros, connected by a radically masculine worldview and economic interests, promotes an authoritarian agenda while worshipping the fantasies of leaders like Donald Trump, who promises to maximize their profits. #TechBros #MännlicheHerrschaft #Profitmaximierung (translated)

Felix Perrefort wrote that an AfD politician wanted to commemorate the anniversary of a right-wing extremist attack with leftists but was prevented from doing so. Subsequently, the politician sent out a press release featuring the state parliament's coat of arms, in which he criticized the intervention and emphasized a Jewish-German culture. Perrefort described the accusations against him of a "power takeover" or an "attack on the institutions" due to the letterhead as a reversal of reality. Family Minister Karin Prien publicly promoted this reinterpretation, according to his account. Perrefort accused her of imposing a fantasy world against all reason and described it as terrifying, unacceptable, and insane. #Politik #Demokratie #AfD (translated)

Daddy Yankee presented *La Postal*, a conceptual album of 15 songs that, as he explained, addressed real human experiences of love and not an idealized version. He said that each song functioned as a letter dedicated to different ways of loving, including romantic, familial, and self-love. The artist pointed out that the first single, "BOTZ", highlighted the power of a kiss. He also described the album as a gesture meant to communicate something that a text message could not express. He indicated that *La Postal* would be released on October 30, 2026. #Música #Álbum #Amor (translated)

Denis Trubetskoy wrote from Kyiv that, in his opinion, Gerhard Schröder could not lose further standing. He described Ralf Stegner's attempts to justify Schröder's pro-Putin stance as shocking and accused Stegner of a complete loss of reality. #Schröder #Putin #Politik (translated)

Iman Sefati wrote that the mullahs had executed his father. Although he had always said he would never take revenge, feelings of revenge and dark fantasies had arisen in him since the massacre in January. Many Iranians are probably feeling the same way, he wrote. However, the response must be justice rather than retribution. The mullahs should fear the day when the Iranian people will unite and peacefully demand freedom and accountability. The pent-up anger will one day lead to an unstoppable movement, Sefati explained. #Iran #Gerechtigkeit #Freiheit (translated)

"As we verified today in Paris and in various cities in France, it is a police force that no longer responds to anyone, provoking, assaulting, injuring, and mutilating young protesters and union members who came to protect them." The first response came from Jean-Luc Mélenchon: "Trump needs to be warned that Mrs. Le Pen is telling him a fanciful version of the causes of the violence in France," wrote the leader of La France Insoumise on X. #ProtesteFrancia #Immigrazione #DonaldTrump (translated)

Jones Manoel said he granted an interview to Folha de São Paulo in which he commented on the position of the re-elected governor of Pernambuco, Raquel Lyra. According to him, her neutrality in the second round objectively favored Flávio Bolsonaro, and if he won, Pernambuco could suffer persecution and a boycott because of its political and ideological composition. Manoel also stated that Lyra had been re-elected with votes from both Lula supporters and Bolsonaro supporters and said that the idea of a "Pernambucan" identity could be left in the past. For him, neutrality was detrimental to Pernambuco and Brazil. #Pernambuco #política #Brasil (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that communism was a program and a political action, not an identity, aesthetic, or fantasy. He said he had been elected defending the Brazilian Revolution, socialism, and popular power, and that, before his election this year and that of other comrades, like Elias Jabbour, no one had reached the National Congress with a campaign focused on these themes. Addressing Cynara, Manoel said she should explain the electoral defeat of the progressivism she defended, which he classified as shameful, citing Haddad's result in São Paulo. #Socialismo #Revolução #Política (translated)

The author claimed that Olavo de Carvalho argued that the right should occupy cultural spaces and institutions before coming to power, to prevent the left from dominating public and institutional opinion. According to him, the right took a long time to act, but the institutions themselves began to confront each other publicly, exposing what he called a pretense of harmony among the Powers. He wrote that, without the commodity boom and amidst public demands for favors and scandals that, according to him, involved even the highest court, the PT contested an election with the least political capital in its history. He said the party suffered a significant defeat, even in strongholds where it used to be the majority, and predicted that Lula would reach the second round morally and politically defeated, with few allies elected to the positions of deputy, senator, and governor. The author attributed part of this weariness to the popular perception of the institutions and the cost of what he described as an "institutional theater." He stated that workers, entrepreneurs, students, churchgoers, and consumers felt the effects in their wallets and daily lives. He also said that Lula could still win by a margin of 51% to 49% and appoint four more people he referred to as "emperors." Finally, he wrote that he did not consider politics a solution for the country, as he understood the problem to be spiritual. He said he observed what he called, quoting Hans-Hermann Hoppe, a "failing god," and concluded by asking for divine mercy for the nation. #Política #Direita #Lula (translated)

Baha wrote that he increasingly feels like he wants to stop posting on X. Until the election last year, he was proud of the Union and Friedrich Merz; he believed he had overcome the shame from 2021. The Union had known what to do but had not negotiated with the necessary toughness. In this respect, Olaf Scholz was right: the party had been afraid of its own courage. He did not expect the coalition with the SPD and the quick break with previous positions. Initially, he still sought justifications out of loyalty. Meanwhile, he sees chaos, irrationality, and fear in Berlin. Warnings about the SPD as a danger to the Union and about red-red-green ambitions had previously been dismissed; now, RRG is forming, he wrote. A minority government would require a sophisticated strategy, the implementation of which he cannot recognize in the party. In his view, the common sense with which the Union has come back has been lost not because of the voters, but due to a lack of political leadership. He feels hardly bound to the party anymore and can imagine that another decision he considers wrong at the federal level would trigger his exit. Regarding Thuringia, he expressed his disbelief by shaking his head. He also recognizes no learning curve in politics and journalism. #Politik #Union #Wahlen (translated)

Cristian Campos praised Carlos H. Quero and said that he had spoken in Congress with arguments that, in his opinion, were anchored in reality. He contrasted them with what he described as the fantasies of a salon revolutionary with a public salary and pointed out that something like that was not usual. #Congreso #Política #Realidad (translated)

Absolutely correct. If V is allowed to participate, the government will probably be able to carry out Annie Lööf's funniest fantasies from her time in Cuf without major objections. If V is excluded, they will demand Stalinism out of sheer principle. https://t.co/QZPPOTO0nU #politik #Sverige #Vänsterpartiet (translated)
