A democracia no Brasil foi conseguida, com muito sangue, tardiamente, já na década 80 do século passado. Bolsonaro pretende regressar ao tempo da ditadura militar, e jogando com as palavras, diz redemocratizar o país. A mesma cantilena usa Ventura em Portugal, desprezando o 25 de Abril.

Before he was appointed, Kash Patel was flagged by FBI counterintelligence agents as being deeply enmeshed in influence operations run by the Russians and Chinese. After he took over, Patel began systematically eliminating all Russian and Chinese counterintelligence capacity. What to make of that?

As Trump focuses the FBI on immigration, counterintelligence is falling behind
The cuts come as a consequence of President Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel's focus on violent crime and immigration, leaving other priorities understaffed.

If you think Trump’s “musings” and “jokes” are not worth headlines, no matter how shocking or offensive they may be, then you haven’t been paying attention. The past decade and past week show they're too dangerous too ignore. My new piece at @contrariannews.org www.contrariannews.org/p/dont-dismi...

Don’t Dismiss Trump’s Los Angeles-San Diego Comment as a ‘Joke’
No normal American would say those words. A president shouldn’t even think them.

MAGA banned The Bluest Eye, The Walking Dead comics & literally 1984—a book warning about authoritarian thought control. One genius tried to ban Fahrenheit 451 because burning a Bible in a dystopian novel hurt their feelings. Illinois banned book bans. MAGA Republicans silence speech.#momsky#sheshed

1/3 🧵 A word of caution about some of the strategies the Trump admin is threatening to use to cheat in the election. Do NOT allow the fact that legal scholars say “he can’t do that” to tease you into thinking he won’t, and, that he might get by with it.
