4/ Fernando Vasquez, an 18-year-old citizen, was on break from work when agents chased and handcuffed him, then put him in their truck. After realizing their mistake, the agents left the teen alone in the woods, with no way to get home. Then they threw his ID out of the truck.

I just remembered that when COVID got to over 78k cases in 2020, Big Daddy Bolsonaro reacted by saying "What do you want me to do? I'm a Messiah, but I don't do miracles" and I didn't know that's actually his second name.

The most delirious talking point that Blue MAGAts are throwing against because of Tom Morello’s interview is that Trump has somehow made Gaza’s situation worse than under Biden. It’s not so much an article of faith as something they must say no matter what or else they acknowledge what they did.

And in early January 2022, close to the peak of Puerto Rico's first Omicron wave, the daily breakthrough infection rates were: • Unboosted Pfizer: 1 in 434 daily • Boosted Pfizer: 1 in 875 daily 500% to 1000% as much as the Leonhardt/Biden "one in 5,000" propaganda.

"[David Leonhardt] said the risk of infection in vaccinated was '1 in 5,000.' Biden repeated it in a speech. [...] The deception is Leonhardt gives it as a **daily** rate. The equivalent yearly rate would be one in fourteen."

5. In late December 2021, with Omicron surging, the CDC destroyed isolation and quarantine by shortening it to a patently wrong 5 days with no testing requirement—so people would exit isolation (if they isolated at all) while still likely contagious. I got so fucking angry at this Fauci interview:

midnucas 🇵🇷 @midnucas.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

4. In early December 2021 when the new Omicron variant that was even more vaccine-evasive loomed, Biden warned of a "winter of illness and death for the unvaccinated." I spent the next month tracking the deadliest COVID wave in Puerto Rico, which unsurprisingly killed mostly vaxxed old folks

151

midnucas 🇵🇷 @midnucas.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

3. All of June and July 2021 was full of evidence coming from abroad that the vaccines were 60-80% effective against Delta... so the Biden admin and allies spent the next few months pushing outrageous lies like it was "one in a thousand" effective (an actual Biden line)

150

midnucas 🇵🇷 @midnucas.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

2. In early May 2021 the WHO declares Delta as a variant of concern. A week later the Biden CDC destroys masking by making the absurd and unenforceable recommendation that vaxxed people no longer have to mask

The moments I most remember from the Biden COVID-19 response: 1. Sometime around March 2021, in response to some schools complaining that the 6 foot separation rule didn't let them go back to in-person teaching, the CDC changed it to 3-foot rule;

The US-sponsored coup in Bolivia continues: VP Edmand Lara declares that he fears for his life because the executive has been trying to intimidate him into silence and sources in the police have told him that the intelligence chief is woking to fabricate a case against him. (My English translation)

Screenshot of October 2, 2026 official press release by Edmand Lara, vicepresident of Colombia, warning that the executive branch has been threatening him and that the police intelligence chief is fabricating a case against him. In Spanish; my next image has an English translation.

English translation of October 2, 2026 communiqué by Edmand Lara, Vicepresident of Bolivia. It reads:

Urgent offcial communiqué

Given the severity of the situation, the Vicepresident of the Plurinational State of Bolivia, Edmand Lara, communicates to the national and international public opinion:

1. I fear for my physical integrity and my life. In this uncertain panorama, I’ve received warnings from the milieu for the Executive Organ that seek to intimidate me because of my positions in defense of the Constitution and democracy.

2. I denounce in front of the nation that I’ve been informed, by various comrades in the Bolivian Police who have chosen to warn me, that Colonel Marcelo Ferrufino, Chief of Intelligence of the Police, is assembling a false case against me to proceed to my illegal detention.

3. According to information I’ve received, it’s being contemplated to plant false evidence to tie me to ilicit acts that I’ve never carried out. A politically motivated fabrication to silence me.

4. I state for the record that I haven’t committed any crime and that any case that is brought up against me from this moment forward will be part of this persecution plot. I place responsibility for my bodily integrity, my family’s and for any attempt against my freedom, on the Government and on those who carry out these illegal orders.

5. I ask the Plurinational Legislative Assembly, the Public Ministry, national and international human rights organizations, to be alert and not allow the consummation of this outrage of the Rule of Law.

Bolivia needs justice, not intrigues. It needs dialogue, not political persecution.
