Some users may be experiencing issues logging into the app due to a widespread issue with Google Firebase, an authentication service many apps use. This is affecting many apps right now and we hope it gets resolved soon. We will keep you updated here once the issue is cleared.

*Nearly* 60%, I should say, for precision's sake

[Catesby Holmes @Catesby.bsky.social @CatesbyHolmes]

Huge news in #Guatemala: 60% voted for an anti-graft outsider despite efforts to disqualify him. The landslide makes it harder-but not imp-to stop Arévalo from taking office. And governing w/congress's 'pact of the corrupt' won't be easy. Still, it's big.

Meanwhile in another LatAm election yesterday, #Ecuador voted no more drilling on Indigenous preserve, rebuffing gov's hope to expand oil exports as a revenue source. Pres race will go to 2nd round, notably minus slain candidate Fernando Villavicencio

Turns out babies like whatever music you played on the womb so now I spend most evenings singing The Breeders and Cat Power. Parenting coup, 10/10 would recommend

Pence has a message for Fox viewers

[Acyn @Acyn]

Pence: Let’s be clear on this point. It wasn't that they asked for a pause. The president specifically asked me and his gaggle of crackpot lawyers asked me to literally reject votes which would have resulted in the issue of being turned over to the house of representatives

🤦‍♀️"South African white rights activists have found an audience among the American far right, who see a bizarre parable for the fate that may await them in SA whites’ supposed vulnerability to the predations of hostile Blacks & neglect by a Black-maj govt"

🧵Each week it's my job to read the world's major newspapers to ID the international stories we'll cover in @TheWeek U.S.–stories told, crucially, not from an American perspective but by journalists in the country where the news is happening.
