Boulos gave a very evasive answer about it, in hopes to drum up electability I guess. He's a dud, Lula 🫶

The Left is completely cooked here, can't muster people for counter demonstrations or mass rallies anymore so now the right will do that like they did today and just strengthen their own legitimacy.

Eh, counter demonstrations have never really been a thing in Brazil. And according to all official estimates there were less than 200k people there. This was smaller than both the Ele Nao and the Covid protests (and also smaller than the pro-Bozo protests on september 7 2021).

Friend who lives by the Paulista Avenue said at the peak it was 4 blocks occupied and then sparse chuds along the rest. That usually means 50-70k people; not insignificant, but hardly a massive show of force. Especially if Malafaia and the remaining ultra-right millionaires actually spent big money and effort mobilizing.

Though I fully expect the news tomorrow to hype them up and say that Lula is 'dividing' the country by not being Temer 2.0.

GG is american so to him oligarch funded yellow press means Freedom and Liberty

the brazilian judiciary is completely self-interested, they could watch the police shove a rifle barrel up a poor person's rear end for laughs and do nothing, and in fact that's what happens everyday, but challenge their power and the hammer's coming down. Moraes is the one signing the decisions but he's doing so under the supreme court's authority, Musk threatening to disobey court orders will not be tolerated, the court plays politics but politics doesn't play them, they'll rubber-stamp poo poo like Lula's arrest because it came from the judiciary but that's about it

this may be a controversial opinion, but i think everyone should be put in jail. yes, everyone. the whole world should be a massive prison

The Brazilian judiciary is awful, expensive, corporatist and regressive. But "grants cart blanche to coup plotters because they are friends to gringo billionaire" isn't a way of making it better. So I hope twitter gets hosed.

Finally, someone brave enough to face the leftist dictatorship in brazil. It's about time that a coalition of Argentinean anarcocapitalists, Israeli foreign ministry, Brazilian reactionaries, American billionaires and gullible contrarians come together to prevent Brazil from becoming the next cuba.

as opposed to customary/"natural" (american) law, under positive (brazilian) law if a supreme justice makes a decision defining something it becomes more than jurisprudence, that IS the law henceforth, unless the supreme court convenes and overturns the minister's individual rulings or legislation is approved explicitly saying it ain't so

until one of those happens banning twitter users is perfectly legal under brazilian law and there's no amount of pissing and moaning that'll change that

meanwhile the workers party is getting the chinese communist party to send us blueprints for the lulag
