So Macron publicly said that Trump "maybe should not speak every day", and I think the rainbow has a brand new hue in it today.

I can't imagine a more vicious polite insult. Leave it to the French!

"Trump's signature is set to start adorning new U.S. dollars later this year, a change that the Treasury Department said was in honor of America's 250th anniversary."

In honor of the vanity of one person. 🙄

#Brazil had its first #law making #racial #discrimination an #offence in the 1950s. Since 1989, #racism has been a non-bailable and imprescriptible #crime. If found #guilty, a #person could be sentenced to 2 to 5 years in #prison. Since 2023, a #racial #insult — when the offense is directed to a specific individual rather than a collective — also had its #penalty increased and equated to #racism in the #legislation. Paez was arraigned for the latter.
