The West is occupied, clearly. This looks as insane as it is.
BREAKING: BLANKET ARRESTS BEGIN OUTSIDE US EMBASSY The Met Police began making arrests before any signs were on display, arresting volunteers like this woman for supporting people holding signs, and arresting people for having blank placards.

The center of the Brazil story is not Flavio Bolsonaro but rather Alexandre de Moraes, who has utterly destroyed the credibility of the Brazilian justice system and its democracy through years of escalating persecution against critics, dissidents and political opponents, all while the Brazilian left celebrated him for doing it. That's why countries now routinely reject Brazil's extradition requests in Moraes' cases, and why international media has continuously warned of Brazilian authoritarianism as a result of the censorship and imprisonment regime that the Brazilian left built with Moraes as its leader. (And all of that is separate from the massive corruption scandal he's at the middle of, where his family received $40 million from the corrupt billionaire who caused Brazil's largest-ever banking collapse). If you don't start your "reporting" about the Bolsonaro/US case by emphasizing that it was Moraes who ordered Bolsonaro's passport seized and banned him from leaving the country -- as an obvious prelude to arresting him even though he's been charged with no crimes -- then there's no way to understand what happened here let alone explain to readers and viewers why Flavio Bolsonaro would never have gotten anything remotely resembling a fair trial.
Flávio Bolsonaro joins numerous dissident Brazilian journalists, bloggers and opinion makers who have gone into exile rather than risk prison. on.wsj.com/3W28tIS

Very much enjoying Brazil being the center of the universe. Hope it lasts!
Brazilians have reportedly been spending 6.5% more on staple foods since sports betting was banned in the country. A month ago, Lula signed an order banning fixed-odds sports betting, a move he said was designed to tackle the problem of families falling into debt. Now the President of the Brazilian Supermarket Association says that since the ban, sales of essential foods such as rice, oil, coffee, and noodles have grown by 6.5%.

Israel allows 2 million Palestinians with Israeli citizenship (who did not become refugees in 1948) to vote and run for office while it denies that right to 6+ million it has kept under a brutal illegal occupation for nearly 60 years. That is not democracy. It is Apartheid.
Israel’s Arab citizens, men and women, are turning out in historic numbers to vote. They can vote, run for office, and serve in the Knesset, rights denied to many Arabs and women across much of the Middle East. Our critical ally in the fight against terror, Israel, is the only democracy in the region, and today shows it.

It’s insane that the U.S. is now the sanctuary of refuge for criminal and corrupt politicians across the world.

If Bolsonaro left Brazil without his passport how can he be allowed into the United States without being considered an illegal alien 🤔😳😡🤣

Bolsonaro will end up in Miami. And in 2027, his next store neighbor will be Zelensky.
CNN Brasil reports that Flávio Bolsonaro’s whereabouts are unknown after he failed to surrender his passports to police A source close to Bolsonaro says the senator is currently flying to the United States cnn.com/2026/10/27/americas/…

Seven years ago, Lula was in prison serving an unjust conviction. Today, he is the re-elected president of Brazil. In 2018, he said “there is no point in trying to end my ideas, they are already lingering in the air”. Lula’s ideas don't just linger. They live! Viva Lula!

Every time I live through yet another Brazilian election I can’t but marvel at an electoral system that can count 120 million votes in a single evening. Take a bow, Brazil

If Lula wins, remember he will have won overcoming a very clear and organised campaign of voter suppression…

Lula enfrentou o governo dos Estados Unidos. Trump, CIA, aquela imundície toda. A maior máquina de manipulação da história, operada pela Meta, pelas big techs e bilionários como Elon Musk e Mark Zuckeberg. Uma campanha destrutiva da extrema-direita que varreu todos os governos latino-americanos. Enfrentou FIESP, o agronegócio, o alto empresariado inteiro do país. A Globo, a Record, a Veja, o Brasil Paralelo, toda a imprensa. As igrejas evangélicas. Os bolsonaristas, os milicianos, a extrema-direita mais abjeta, suja e criminosa que esse país já viu. As bets, o crime organizado, os dirigentes de clubes de futebol com dezenas de milhões de torcedores. O TSE. O próprio tribunal que deveria zelar pela lisura do processo eleitoral e que estava na linha de frente do golpe. E venceu. De virada, pela primeira vez na história desse país. Esse homem é um gigante. Reconheçamos o seu valor. Protejamos a todo custo seu quarto mandato. Vamos às ruas para proteger Lula.
