Welp, the authorities certainly know where insurrection planner Ali Alexander is.

Since he’s saying out loud “Tomorrow will be bigger in Brazil. Activating all blessings and networks” it really seems like someone should PUT THIS PIECE OF SHIT IN PRISON.

BREAKING 🇧🇷: Evidence suggests that the Brasilia insurrection may have been planned in Florida. Secretary of Security for the Federal District is in the USA and recently traveled to Orlando — exactly where Jair Bolsonaro is currently staying.

Everything will depend on the military. If they step in, the question is on what side?

Yes, but they need much more security forces. Apparently, 2,5 k soldiers are ready to step in

I woke up from a nap and found out that forces from Chile might step in. Still catching up on this developing story. I wonder what the Brazilian RWNJs on the bird site are saying? 🤪 I can read a bit of Portuguese without translation. Will also check what serious journalists are saying also, if I can find any. 🇧🇷 #Jan8 #Brazil

@natasha514b @Raven47 Chile offered to send forces but from what I've gathered the Brazilian federal police took care of everything in less than an hour after Lula's decree

@sofiav @Raven47
Thanks. I’ll try to find out how much the Brazilian federal police have taken “care of everything.” This is what Brazilian media is saying:

“170 Bolsonarist terrorists are arrested after anti-democratic acts in Brasilia.” (Translation)

@natasha514b @Raven47 they cleared the bolsominions out of the buildings pretty quickly. There's still work to do in terms of finding the people who financed all of this, but the government will be able to function normally tomorrow, at least

@natasha514b @carowe @Raven47 BRICS is an alliance of equals--Putin doesn't pull Brazil's strings, and Lula doesn't pull Russia's. Bolsonaro mostly ignored BRICS because he wanted the US pulling his strings, so I actually hope Lula puts some effort into strengthening it again

@sofiav @natasha514b @carowe

Bolsonaro's health is not 100% because he suffered a stabbing attack in 2018. Long term his four sons will probably be the banner bearers. They socialize and conspire directly with Trump, Bannon, Kushner, Musk and Co. already for years. They can get to Putin or any other autocrat at any time. They don't need BRIX.
