Reading posts by foreigners about Brazil, I get the impression that you're not aware of the full extent of the accusations against Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro, or of the available evidence of his corruption. So I'd like to kindly invite you to really get to know Flávio. A thread 🧵🇧🇷

Sana'a has officially invited the media to visit Taiz and independently verify claims that the city is under siege. Every outlet reporting a siege now has an opportunity to investigate. Will they verify their claims on the ground—or keep repeating them from a distance?

Dig mass graves for Americans or tell Israel to go fuck itself?

The protests in Albania are now being held by opposition MP's INSIDE the Parliament while the hated Prime Minister tries to speak. It will soon be over for the Israel controlled Government and Albania like Serbia will be free.

Europeans committed many genocides. Indigenous people wiped out and Africans stolen for centuries of forced labor in the Americas. The sun never set on stolen colonial lands around the world. China didn't prosper through invasion, theft and enslavement, but you're judging Mao?

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.

Ecuador's US-born, Trump-allied President Daniel Noboa has imprisoned the mayor of Ecuador's second largest city, Guayaquil, presidential prospect Aquiles Álvarez, in a 4 AM raid on his family home Just before his arrest, Alvarez announced his intention to present evidence of narco trafficking through Ecuador's ports under the watch of Noboa The political prisoner's wife, Fiorella Icaza, tells The Grayzone about the "concentration camp"-like conditions under which Álvarez is held, and reveals that she too is being targeted as she runs for mayor to continue his work

Never forget: They’re not building a surveillance state because WE are the criminals. They’re building it because THEY are the criminals. And they'll weaponize it against ANYONE who dare challenge their power, privilege, and impunity.

BREAKING: Antisemtiism is now when you don't want to see the Ali G movie 👀
Sacha Baron Cohen's Ali G sequel lasted one weekend in theaters, and the Hollywood Reporter is blaming pro-Palestine activists, and discussing "Hamas-affiliated operatives.” THR detailed a campaign by UK-based NewsCord, whose platform gave users AI-assisted templates to email cinemas; NewsCord says about 55,000 emails went out. THR then pointed to the group's support for Gaza aid flotilla participants, whose leaders the US Treasury designated "Hamas-affiliated operatives." NewsCord, which calls Ali G a form of blackface, accused THR of drawing "conspiratorial links." Amazon MGM opened the film on just 23 screens, withheld box office figures, and moved it to Prime Video five days later, per World of Reel.

BREAKING: Iran has rejected JD Vance’s request to restart talks, saying it will take no new steps until the United States implements its seven conditions “all at once,” per an informed Iranian source to Al-Mayadeen and Fars News. The source said Vance recently corresponded with SNSC Secretary Mohsen Rezaei, and called Trump’s claim that the letter was about equipment and medicine “completely false.” American reports of progress or an Iranian retreat are also incorrect, the source said. The conditions include ending all military actions, releasing frozen assets, lifting the naval blockade, and withdrawing U.S. forces from areas near Iran. Tehran has not yet responded to Vance’s letter. The red line remains. Washington can keep writing. Iran is not moving.

Btw, @infinite_jaz and I are free only thanks to @asapir
I am alive and free. Settlers tried to kill us because we caught them locking several Palestinian communities from leaving their homes - very illegally, even by Israeli occupation's laws. I'm concussed and very tired, so I'll tell the story tomorrow.

NEWS: President Trump will no longer go to Kansas this weekend for a planned rally, instead opting for virtual rallies. A White House official tells me @NewsNation “President Trump will continue connecting directly with Americans nationwide through more than 20 telerallies before Election Day. These events give him the opportunity to highlight his accomplishments and expand his reach across the country.”
