Fearless, adversarial journalism.

Two wealthy lawfare warriors recently failed in their attempts to bury reporting on government-released documents.

Both lawsuits were frivolous strategic lawsuits against public participation, known as SLAPPs.

But only one victim had any real recourse against the censorial bully, because of the court in which it was filed.

That’s why Congress needs to finally pass a federal anti-SLAPP law.

Watch our video for the full story.

New pod: 🎧 “BRAZILIANS WILL HEAD to the polls on Sunday in one of the most consequential presidential elections of the last decade. The run-off election will determine the future of the largest democracy in Latin America and the fate of the Amazon rainforest.

Incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is facing off against Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro. The elder Bolsonaro is currently on house arrest for his role in a failed 2023 military coup that intended to assassinate Lula, his vice president, and a Supreme Court justice. Despite his father’s attempted coup, Flavio Bolsonaro is currently the frontrunner, after coming out slightly ahead in the first round of voting.

“If they don’t win this election, then not only is Jair going to stay in jail, most likely, but Eduardo, Flávio’s brother and Jair’s son, who is in self-exile in the U.S., he has a multiyear prison sentence for his actions in the U.S. lobbying against Brazil’s foreign interests. He’s not going to be able to go home if they lose this election,” says Andrew Fishman, a Rio de Janeiro-based investigative journalist. “So they’re really just willing to do whatever they can to make sure that they win because this is their only get-out-of-jail-free card.”

Sound familiar? This week on The Intercept Briefing, host Jessica Washington speaks with Fishman, president and co-founder of The Intercept Brasil, about what’s at stake for Brazil and the planet in Sunday’s election.”

📣 New series alert!! Every Friday I’ll be sharing the top three stories I can’t get out of my head from the week, at the intersection of politics, culture, and identity.

Stick with me as we go behind the headlines on the stories you need to know.

This week we touch on the horrifying new campaign ad from Republican Ohio Gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, NPR’s reporting on a new phase in the Iran war, and a bonechilling update in the Kohen Wiley case.

The Brazil election is this Sunday, and your country will feel it.

On October 25, Brazilians choose between Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro, son of the former president who was sentenced to 27 years for plotting a coup. The polls show a statistical tie.

If you're not Brazilian, swipe to see five ways this vote reaches you: Trump's plans for Latin America, the rare earths inside your phone, the Amazon and the climate, Big Tech's power over elections, and a far-right playbook that travels from country to country.

If you live in Brazil, this one is for you too. You came for the beaches, the music and the people. This week those people need you to say something, even if your feed is usually sunsets and caipirinhas.

Every claim has a source on the last slide, and the links are in the pinned comment. Check them, then send this to one friend abroad before Sunday.

Where are you reading this from? Tell me your country in the comments.

P.S. If political posts barely show up in your feed, look for "Political content" in your Instagram settings.

On 19 July 2024, the International Court of Justice gave an advisory opinion, requested by the UN General Assembly, on Israel's policies in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem. It found Israel's continued presence there unlawful, said it must end "as rapidly as possible", and said all states are obliged not to recognise it as lawful or help maintain it. Four of the fifteen judges dissented on the central finding. The opinion is not binding, and Israel rejected it.

The language around it was already contested. A Centre for Media Monitoring study of UK coverage in the month after 7 October 2023 found that 76% of online articles framed the story as an "Israel–Hamas war". In April 2024, a New York Times memo reported by @theintercept told reporters to avoid "occupied territory". In September 2024, the UK abstained on the General Assembly resolution that followed the Court's opinion.

We enter Shabbat this week in contemplation on how to be in continued solidarity with all people. As we watched the Trump regime’s outrageous attacks on Ilhan Omar, we recognized that kind of abuse of government power and targeting of political opponents is exactly how fascists operate. We struggle against them together, in community.

The mainstream media, however, would like you to believe a different story. In his article, “Trump Is Targeting Ilhan Omar. Where’s the Elite Media Outrage?” for The Intercept, Adam Johnson compares the different reactions of legacy media to the raids on Ilhan Omar and John Bolton.

He observes, “Unlike the raid on John Bolton, the targeting of Omar has elicited zero condemnation from NYT, WSJ, and Washington Post.”

Join us every Friday as we share what we’re studying during Shabbat. This was written by Adam Johnson for @theintercept. Read more at the link in our bio or at theintercept.com
