Leaked document in Brazil shows the Bolsonaro Government - specifically its Environment Ministry - was notified in advance about the plans of rural industrialists on WhatsApp to start fires in the Amazon. Needless to say, they took no action to stop it: revistagloborural.globo.com/Noticias/Polit…
@guardian@davidmirandario@rsallesmma@partidonovo30@joaoamoedonovo Three days later, it's still shocking (even though it shouldn't be) that Bolsonaro's response to Macron's criticisms about the Amazon was to mock the physical appearance of Macron's wife by comparing her to Bolsonaro's younger (third) wife. Macron replies:
@guardian@davidmirandario@rsallesmma@partidonovo30@joaoamoedonovo Macron é casado com a mesma mulher a vida toda dele. Bolsonaro trocou suas esposas por mais novas e mais jovens quando dá na telha. Mas o movimento de "família" e "moralidade" e "casamento tradicional" vê o último como mais admirável que o primeiro.

Last night @elonmusk vowed to honor the endless, repressive and due-process-free censorship orders from Brazil's Judge Alexandre de Moraes.
The Judge has banned various journalists and members of Congress, among others, from social media.
This would be a huge deal for Brazil:
Rumble last year also announced that it would refuse to comply. The platform was expending huge resources to constantly take down videos and ban users upon the endless, lawless orders of a single job.
Amazingly, Rumble is no longer available to anyone in Brazil, getting this:
In January of last year, we obtained one of the secret orders Judge Moraes issues to platforms. This one banned Senators, Congress members and journalists, and mandated secrecy.
No due process. We reported it here. Hard to overstate how extreme it is:
UK Court hands Assange a partial victory in the Biden DOJ's attempt to extradite him.
US must provide explicit assurances that Assange 1) can raise a 1st Am defense, 2) will have the same rights as US citizens and 3) will never face the death penalty.
Biden WH doesn't want the sideshow of a trial; daily protests; discovery into CIA; Assange on the stand; Biden as the first-ever president to imprison a publisher.
They want to kill Assange through conviction-free imprisonment.
How dare the US President weigh in on a war he has caused American citizens to finance, arm and support!
Look at the mentality of these Israel fanatics: the duty of American citizens is not only to finance Israel's military and wars, but also never question what Israel does:
