As MAGA hat-wearing São Paulo Governor Tarcisio defends the indefensible Bolsonaro, a reminder that he attended Bolsonaro’s residence during what the trial identified as a key meeting of the coup plotters. Just happened to be there…

Jair Bolsonaro tem enfrentado todos os ataques e todas as injustiças com a firmeza e a coragem de poucos. Tirar um homem de 70 anos da sua casa, desconsiderando seu grave estado de saúde e ignorando todos os apelos provenientes das mais diversas fontes, todos os laudos médicos e

As Lula's illegal, US DOJ-backed conviction began to unravel, he refused multiple offers of transfer to house arrest with an ankle monitor from the corrupt Lava Jato taskforce . "I won't trade my dignity for my freedom," he wrote from prison in a letter to the Brazilian people.

Multiple US Gov officials are posting blatant disinformation about Bolsonaro’s preventative arrest. It is a police matter, fully justified (flight risk) and fully constitutional. US interference put Bolsonaro in power. Deal with your own mess. https://t.co/z2Q80yDLCH

For my non Brazilian friends to know: Justice is being served today in Brazil as the former president starts his 27 year and 3 month jail sentence for plotting a coup against Democracy and leading a criminal organization. ‘Bolsonarismo’ is clearly one of the most shameful

Here's ex-President Jair Bolsonaro admitting to a federal police agent that he tried to remove his electronic ankle monitor with a soldering iron shortly after midnight, on Nov. 22. If he had succeeded he could have made it to the Argentinian embassy in 15 minutes.

Good account of Greenwald’s complicit silence on US role in coup against PT. Worth also adding that Greenwald has also been a stanch defender of Musk’s and Trump’s pressure on Brazil to let the fascists go free.

@SecRubio @StateDept The so-called "Cartel de los Soles" or "Suns Cartel" does NOT exist. This was admitted by many mainstream media outlets. Trump & Marco Rubio are trying to justify their neocolonial war of aggression on Venezuela by falsely claiming Maduro is a "narco-terrorist". It's "WMDs" 2.0

@BrianMteleSUR I visited Lula practically every day he was imprisoned in Curitiba, and not a single cell phone was ever brought into his cell. No visitor was allowed to enter with a phone. There was an explicit prohibition and strict access control.

What’s going on in Mexico City? 🤔 Put simply: The anti-Morena opposition astroturfed a “Gen Z” “movement” — only for their big protest to be… old people, paid hooligans, and famous figures of the Mexican right. In sum, a rather paltry effort from the regime changers 🤡

The Mexican anti-cartel Gen Z rebellion has reached Claudia Sheinbaum’s presidential palace in Mexico City. The crowd has torn down the wall she built a few days ago and is now trying to get past the riot police who have taken cover in an ancient Roman testudo (turtle) formation

In 2009, Brazil made it illegal to enter a prison cell with a phone. Greenwald, aware of this, first spread a claim about a Chomsky-Epstein call from Lula's cell. He now says Chomsky's wife told him their phones were confiscated during the visit+

Ecuador is about to hold a referendum to allow US military bases there. This is the latest front in Donald Trump’s escalating war on Latin America. And it's about destroying the achievements of the socialist government of Rafael Correa. My new article. https://t.co/27QVSYQ3D1

María Corina Machado, the far-right US-backed Venezuelan coup leader who won the Nobel Peace Prize, promised a “massive privatization” if Trump can put her in power. She vowed to sell off $1.7 TRILLION of Venezuela's oil, gas, gold, infrastructure, etc. to US corporations.
