Lula's logic: not pick side, VEN
Today's Latin American leftists

Elections and "future discrepancies", GA
*New Georgia rules let local [election] boards
withhold
election certification.* This was proposed by Republican supporters of the wrecker, and it might
offer them a way to disrupt the presidential election.

"Disposable" labor force, TX, FL
*Even as extreme heat raged across the southern United States this summer, the governors of Florida
and Texas struck down heat protections for outdoor
workers.
Construction companies and agricultural firms lobbied against the rights of workers to water,
shade and rest breaks when temperatures soar — and
Ron DeSantis
and
Greg
Abbott, two men also lavishly funded by the fossil fuel industry, gave them what they wanted.*

New leader Sinwar, GAZA
HAMAS has appointed the
leader
of the Oct 7 terrorist attack as the overall head of HAMAS, to replace the assassinated leader
Ismail Haniyeh.
I worry that this will make further peace negotiations impossible. Netanyahu would say, "We hate
Sinwar too much to speak with him." But even if Netanyahu were willing, there is no way to arrange
a meeting or a call between them.
That's convenient for Netanyahu, if his goal is to continue fighting ad infinitem.
