#Brazil has once again made the world a more decent, more beautiful place. A victory for workers, women, Black and Indigenous communities, farmers, entrepreneurs and everyone defending our forests and our rights. Hard work lies ahead. We are ready. 🇧🇷

The rejection of Bolsonaro’s alliance with Trump is becoming increasingly visible. At least 25 Democratic lawmakers are demanding answers over the admins role in facilitating Flávio Bolsonaro’s entry into the US. Yet another contentious issue for Trump ahead of the midterms.🇧🇷🇺🇸
The American people deserve answers about why the Trump Administration is harboring an election denier and fraudster.  @RepDinaTitus and I are leading a probe into how the State Department helped Flávio Bolsonaro flee Brazil and why he was granted a U.S. visa.

Governments are preparing for #war. From #Sweden and #Poland to #Japan and #Taiwan, over 25 countries have issued emergency guides, drills and stockpiling advice. Some warn of conflict, others of blackouts and disasters. Prepping is no longer just for preppers. (1/5)

World #wars rarely begin as world wars. They emerge when separate #conflicts become connected through weapons, intelligence, logistics and military operations. Our latest analysis at @SecDev finds that these connections are growing. (4/5)

#Brazil’s electoral map is divided. Lula swept the Northeast, won Minas and took #Pará, #Amazonas and #Amapá in the North. He also carried metro #Rio and pockets of the deep South, including #PortoAlegre. Flávio took the South, Center-West and Southeast.

Flávio Bolsonaro lost by 4.4m votes. He fled to Miami and declared himself “president-elect.” Presidential cosplay would be comedy if the contempt for Brazilian and 8 ongoing criminal activity investigations including industrial-scale money laundering weren’t so disgraceful.

The plot thickens. #Brazil’s Supreme Court orders a probe into alleged aid to Flávio #Bolsonaro’s campaign involving #Rockbridge—co-founded by #JDVance and Chris Buskirk, backed by #PeterThiel and Rebekah Mercer. Foreign campaign aid is illegal. Rockbridge denies involvement.

#Brazil’s anti-authoritarian playbook is taking shape. Mobilize beyond parties. Reclaim the street. Weaponize humor. Make algorithms work for you. Take platform bias to court. Own the flag. Then win the harder battle—make democracy deliver. @ProSyn project-syndicate.org/commen…

Reports flying that Flávio Bolsonaro fled #Brazil for the US via Argentina, but these remain unconfirmed. Federal police are checking. #Argentina says he did not enter, and allies deny he left. A court has barred him from leaving Brazil. Watch this space. www1.folha.uol.com.br/coluna…

O senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) foi convencido a desistir de pedir na Justiça a anulação da eleição de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, menos de 24 horas depois de anunciar a iniciativa. Em conversas e reuniões nas últimas horas, aliados e advogados argumentaram que ele não deve insistir nesse caminho. Dois pontos pesaram: um a fragilidade jurídica da tentativa de anular a vitória de Lula, que inclui a falta de argumentos concretos e a configuração desfavorável a ele no TSE e no STF. 📲Leia mais na #Folha: mla.bs/58a08c16d6 📷 Agustin Marcarian/Reuters 📝 Fábio Zanini #PraTodosVerem: O senador Flávio Bolsonaro ao anunciar que pediria a anulação da eleição

#Lula’s victory is an extraordinary moment for #Brazil, with consequences far beyond its borders. It is a huge victory for democracy and human rights, and a reason to believe that decency still has political force. 🇧🇷 ❤️
