The corrupt ex-judge whose guilty verdict against Lula was nullified by Brazil's Supreme Court due to his misconduct and is now hilariously running for president, @SF_Moro, got a local judge to order Twitter to delete my tweet documenting his corruption.

Notably, the corrupt, cowardly judge did not sue me for defamation or anything else that would have allowed me discovery and the opportunity to present all the evidence of his corruption. So instead I'll be producing a video for today amassing the ample evidence proving this.
Seems like if you want to run for President (and he's about 30 points behind Lula and 20 behind Bolsonaro), it's kind of a bad start to run to a judge in your state to get them to force Twitter to remove a journalist's tweets about you. Kind of an authoritarian start.🤷‍♂️
These are the tweets which @SF_Moro got a local judge to order Twitter to delete:

EXCLUSIVE: Trump's media company and Rumble jointly sue Brazilian Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes in a U.S. federal court in Florida, arguing that his most recent censorship orders require a global ban, thus violating US sovereignty and US law:

greenwald.locals.com/post/6679550/e…
The latent rage of Trump associates toward Moraes was just waiting for the moment to explode.

The joint Rumble/Trump lawsuit emerges from that.

In August, after Moraes banned X from all of Brazil, Elon Musk vowed that he'd see Moraes in prison:

This comes in the wake of yesterday's indictment of former President Jair Bolsonaro, accusing him of plotting a violent coup (that never happened) against Lula and Moraes.

That indictment follows polls showing a collapse in Lula's popularity, with only Bolsonaro beating him.

A residual guardian of GOP establishment foreign policy - @RichLowry - urges rejection of Tulsi by denouncing her support for Snowden.

To do so, Lowrey falsely claims Snowden "handed [NSA docs] over to Julian Assange’s Wikileaks."

Snowden never gave a single doc to WikiLeaks. Image
This isn't a small error, nor is it an excusable one. Anyone who knows even the most basic facts of the Snowden story -- which should be a requirement for opining so didactically about it -- knows he only gave docs to the Guardian (through me) and WPost (through Laura Poitras). Image
Lowry also repeats the standard establishment smear against Snowden -- totally false -- that he "defected to Russia."

Even if he had, it'd be understandable - Obama DOJ tried to imprison him for life -- but Ben Rhodes admitted Snowden tried to leave Russia and they trapped him.

Pigs are as intelligent and socially complex -- if not more so -- than dogs. Morally despicable factory farms keep pigs in cases so small they can never turn around, step on their babies, and go insane. The whole industry is a menace to public health, and destroys family farms.
You don't have to be vegan to be disgusted by industrialized abuse of animals. Animals are among the most majestic and beautiful things on earth. They feel pain, suffering and joy from connection.

Most people can't bear to look at what happens inside these monstrous facilities.
Under the past several presidents - including Biden and Trump - the agencies required to regulate factory farms, including to stop abuse, have been run by industry cretins who ignore the law and then get rewarded after.

Here's what this supports. Look:

John Brennan, whined on MSNBC about the revocation of his security clearance for lying, and lied again (see video below).

He denied he and CIA goons said the Hunter laptop was "Russian disinformation."

Here's what POLITICO said after they fed the story to @NatashaBertrand. Image
Beyond that, the letter itself that they fed to their puppet Bertrand (now promoted to CNN as a reward for her service) explicitly referenced claims in the last part of the letter that the materials on the laptop were "Russian disinformation": exactly what Brennan denies. Image
Indeed, this pre-election lie from CIA goons had only purpose: to protect Biden by deceiving key institutions to believe the materials were unreliable because they were "Russian disinformation."

That's how people like Jen Psaki promoted it, and it's why Big Tech censored it. Image

The only thing more stunning than watching the US Government forcibly close a speech, information and community social media platform that 170 million of its citizens voluntarily chose to use is seeing that it's Trump, almost alone in DC, fighting to keep it open:Image
If you think that TikTok was banned was due to fears of China, then you haven't been paying attention. That was the original impetus for it (including under Trump), but everyone involved says the reason it got enough votes was fear of Israel criticism:

This was as frontal an assault on free speech as it gets. The proposed TikTok ban lingered in DC since 2020 without nearly enough votes.

It only got a majority after the ADL said it must be banned to stop young people from being turned against Israel:

A Globo e autoridades brasileiras alegaram que a descrição de Zuckerberg das ordens "secretas" de censura do Brasil eram "sem provas".

Isso é desinformação. Há provas esmagadoras para isso. Em abril, a @Folha publicou um Editorial condenando a censura de Moraes e seu sigilo: Image
Enquanto a Globo defendeu repetidamente Moraes e suas ordens secretas de censura — da mesma forma que defendeu tudo o que Sergio Moro fez — a Folha, em 2024, condenou repetidamente o esquema de Moraes como perigoso, antidemocrático e inconstitucional:

Qualquer um que negue que Moraes esteja usando ordens secretas de censura está mentindo.

Publicamos as ordens de Moraes onde ele fez exatamente isso - inclusive no Facebook e no Instagram. Você pode lê-las e ver por si mesmo:
