Bolivian voters got their first look at a very crowded 2020 ballot. It includes a united left (only the MAS led by finance minister Luis Arce), a depleted center (Carlos Mesa, minus some allies), and a very fractured but energized right wing. woborders.blog/2020/02/03/bolivia-2020-candidates/

The idea that Israelis have the right to self-defense against terrorism, but Palestinians do not enjoy the same right to self-defense against overwhelming devastation is either blind to human suffering or catastrophically racist or both.

One thing Aaron Bushnell's self immolation reveals, and forces us to confront, is the mind of someone who has chosen to place his life alongside those being killed daily with our country's weapons. And to declare that his life isn't worth more. This alone disrupts normality.

Awkward family dinner conversation in Bolivia: Hearing a relative say "Our mistake was to not have killed all the Indians. We need a Pinochet-style shock." Like Trump, Áñez has emboldened racists to dream out loud. @LilaAndrea86/1209978175406641153

Nice Guy™ syndrome has a body count.

Bolivia wakes up with a president unsuited by her past comments to be a neutral election arbiter. A plurality political party unsure whether to engage in tough elections or ill-fated resistance. A military that has broken its post-2003 pattern of restraint. And 8 dead.

Another day when Western liberals agree that the right way to respond to white Europeans under occupation is sending weapons, while the right way to respond to Palestinians under occupation is to send tears of sympathy while shipping bombs to their occupiers.

A quick summary thread on the Venezuelan presidential election. Official results awarded victory to Maduro 51-44 over a a relatively united opposition. Opposition claims they actually won overwhelmingly, allege fraud.

MSNBC has cultivated a brand of informed, sassy indignation. Here it is turned on those justifying mass death from bombings in Gaza. x.com/m7mdkurd/status/1720081461238460471

Months ago, the @DeathPanel_ named the "sociological construction of the end of the [still raging] pandemic." They've consistently been ahead of the story of the public health policy collapse, and ardent advocates for disabled people in the ongoing clusterfuck. Listen. @DeathPanel_/1516915661490081792

#BoliviaEnCrisis Analyses by @JohnCuriel14 & @Master0fNull at @MITelectionlab and @ceprdc all presume that any #FraudeElectoral in the 2019 Bolivian election only took the form of manipulated vote totals between one count and another… Not what the OAS & EU alleged.

#BoliviaEnCrisis So the WashPost published a statistical analysis of alleged #FraudeElectoral in Bolivia's 2019 elections by @JohnCuriel14 & @Master0fNull at @MITelectionlab. It (1) sidesteps most critiques of the election; (2) doesn't evaluate forms of "fraud" ID'd by OAS & EU.
