Brazil Supreme Court escalates, putting ankle bracelet on Bolsonaro and restricting his contact including w/ his son In US. Expect reaction from White House.
A complicating factor in the US-Brazil confrontation is the unique power of Brazil’s Supreme Court. There is arguably nothing else quite like it in the world. It can open investigations, acts as court to judge politicians, and single judges have immense powers.
I don't say this lightly - but the floods in Porto Alegre, Brazil, are looking comparable to what Katrina did to New Orleans in 2005 -- massive evacuations, water & power outages, key infrastructure damaged, parts of city unlivable, possible long-term consequences
Met a Brazilian at my gym today who’s been n New York 28 years. Within 2 minutes he told me that January 8 was a staged fake, that they have video showing Lula was inside the Planaltp at the time coordinating everything. Haja paciência
Amazing poster encouraging Japanese to emigrate to Brazil. Almost 250k would make the voyage from 1908 to 1984, making it the largest diaspora outside Japan
