Notable 1) Underscores continuity in Biden-Trump policy for ongoing Palestinian suffering + reluctance to pressure Israel even for stated US goals 2) Interesting read on who’s got reach in the party: within admin, Greenspan was close to Brett McGurk + upset Gaza policy skeptics

This was the last time I took this award seriously. A year later, Juve was relegated because of the Calciopoli scandal.

1/ One year ago today, the RSF captured El Fasher. This week brought new evidence that the terror hasn’t ended, Geneva talks with no ceasefire, and an Emirati bid to lead the UN. Last December I sat with El Fasher’s survivors in eastern Chad. 🧵 refugeesinternational.org/pe…

En un mes Lula prohibió las apuestas, redujo la jornada laboral sin pérdida de salario, fue a la ONU a defender a Palestina y a Cuba, le dijo a Trump que Brasil no entraba en el patio de EEUU, se sacó foto con Zohran Mamdani y le ganó a Meta las redes y a Bolsonaro la elección.

Raphinha del FC Barcelona es seguido por más de 20 millones de personas. Ha sido el único futbolista de la selección brasileña que se ha mostrado en contra del bolsonarismo fascista y a favor de Lula para estas elecciones en Brasil.
