Verônica Domingues criticized those who classified her as a liberal feminist, saying that this position reflected ignorance and bad faith. She defined liberal feminism as a movement that believes it is possible to emancipate women through gradual reforms in capitalism and patriarchy. In contrast, she stated that she supports a socialist revolution to overthrow both systems. Regarding pornography and prostitution, Domingues said these issues should be reconsidered in a different model of society. According to her, in the current context, opposing prostitution meant being against prostitutes. She also accused her critics of directing more attacks at her than at macho men and said they were unaware of her life and the reasons that led her to virtual prostitution. #Feminismo #Socialismo #Revolução (translated)

Pam wrote that, 13 days before the second round of the elections, the audio of Flávio Bolsonaro had disappeared from the free electoral propaganda on open TV. She stated that some people already considered the race decided, but said that victory should only be celebrated after the counting of the ballots on 02/25, down to the last decimal. For her, nothing was won. #Eleições2024 #Democracia #FlávioBolsonaro (translated)
Tom Jensen wrote that Pia Kjærsgaard apparently had been vindicated at the Folk High School. Referring to TV 2's revelation, he wrote that Afrah al-Jabouri stopped in the security department at Copenhagen Airport in 2022 after employees became aware of posts on her TikTok account that corresponded to posts Kjærsgaard had confronted her about during a breakfast. Jensen wrote that an employee had warned management about two screenshots in which al-Jabouri allegedly confirmed that she was a terrorist and responded that she had not yet bombed anyone. He added that more people became aware of the matter. https://t.co/rOrPzPtCKR #Danmark #Sikkerhed #Muslimer (translated)
Miko Bergbom wrote that the changes in the polls had, in his opinion, stirred feelings among some members of the National Coalition Party, who expressed their dissatisfaction towards the Finns Party. He doubted that this would be helpful and suggested focusing on the formation of a right-wing government. Bergbom supported the continuation of spending cuts and preventing tax increases aimed at work and entrepreneurship amounting to billions of euros. His proposals included tightening immigration restrictions and continuing spending cuts, taxing foundations and trade unions, as well as reforming taxation related to work and entrepreneurship. He criticized the vice-chair of the National Coalition Party group, Pia Kauma, for focusing on being outraged by comments on social media. Bergbom suggested that this might serve as a smokescreen for building a Social Democrat-National Coalition government. Finally, he asked Martin Paasi whether he supported the continuation of the right-wing basis. #politiikka #maahanmuutto #verotus (translated)

Dennis Corell wrote that TV 2 had documented that the video with Afrah al-Jabouri's terror threats, which Pia Kjærsgaard had shown, was authentic. He also claimed that al-Jabouri had given a false explanation for why she stopped working as a security guard at the airport. According to Corell, she had stated in a TV program that it was due to her scarf and was an expression of racism, while the airport had indicated that the reason was her behavior on social media. https://t.co/WpwvMUGP3m #Terrorisme #Racisme #SoMe (translated)
"The amount of fuel Russia could export is too small, the impact on pricing too slight, the narrative too late to shape electoral outcomes: This looks, instead, like something very different: an abrupt, Hail Mary attempt to force Ukraine to surrender" www.theatlantic.com/idea/2026/10...
Andy Burnham goes a little further on EU relations by committing to a dialogue on options after the Summit, and to proceed with transparency, not something we have seen before - as I may have mentioned on a few occasions.
The SWAT team like descent on Rep Omar's home weeks before an election, after JD Vance declared an intention to investigate her for some crime, any crime, echoes decades of misuses of law enforcement power for political purposes, starting with J Edgar Hoover's deportation of political opponents.

❗️Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski has urged NATO to prepare for the possibility of casualties caused by Russian actions in Europe. And this is something I wish more Europeans understood. Russia doesn’t need to launch a full-scale invasion of a NATO country to kill people on NATO territory.
A few years back, the BBC asked me on to talk about asylum, but then the researcher started to panic because I wasn't "balanced" with someone who hated asylum seekers. I guess the BBC's definition of "balance" only goes one way

The BBC is making a lot of cuts (including to some things only the BBC would do or could do). The BBC could cut some things where it is simply replicating what private media businesses will do - as it wants a share of audience. This issue could be covered seriously by its news channels.
