It’s too bad for Bolsonaro that he couldn’t have launched his coup attempt in the USA. He’d be back in office already.

This is the art world’s equivalent of the Luka trade. The Phillips is my favorite museum in Washington DC. It’s a mistake to sell these works.

🧵 This piece captures a core problem of the hollow democratic state: politics has become performance, optimised for visibility, not understanding.
Farage is winning because politics has been reduced to clickbait.
It’s a shallow spectacle that favours clowns and con-artists.
As @jemmaforte.bsky.social says here - politics has been “repackaged into junk food.”
But there are ways for the left to fight back 👇🏻

It’s funny how Trump will negotiate with the leader of China but not with the domestic opposition for the purpose of ending the long government shutdown.

Brazil's Supreme Court held its country's former president accountable for committing crimes.
Meanwhile, our country's Supreme Court gave our former president immunity from prosecution for committing even more crimes.
So guess which country is more broken and shamelessly corrupt.
