Yesterday, a rigged panel of five judges that included Alexandre de Moraes—a sanctioned human rights abuser and known hater of Bolsonaro—Lula’s former personal attorney, and Lula’s former minister of justice unjustly convicted former President @jairbolsonaro of plotting a coup simply for questioning the integrity of Brazil’s highly disputed and entirely electronic 2022 election, sentencing him to 27 years imprisonment and preventing him for running for reelection in 2026—all without a shred of evidence that he’s guilty of any crime.
These criminal thugs on Brazil’s Supreme Court don’t deserve to be called decent humans, let alone “justices.” Only one judge on the panel—Justice Fux, who’s no friend to Bolsonaro—had the courage to call Bolsonaro’s prosecution what the world already knows it is: political lawfare aimed at destroying an innocent man, imprisoning a great political leader for the rest of his life, and punishing millions of freedom-loving Brazilians for supporting the candidate of their choice and questioning the integrity of Brazil’s electronic voting machines.
As @SecRubio pointed out, the United States will not tolerate Brazil’s further descent into totalitarianism. America stands with the Brazilian people, justice is coming, and, rest assured, Moraes and all who enable his abuses on the Court and in Brazil’s Congress will be severely punished. The world is watching.
The political persecutions by sanctioned human rights abuser Alexandre de Moraes continue, as he and others on Brazil's supreme court have unjustly ruled to imprison former President Jair Bolsonaro.
The United States will respond accordingly to this witch hunt.

🚨EXCLUSIVE: JANUARY 8 FILES
New leaked files reveal that Brazil’s Supreme Court illegally used social media posts to incarcerate pro-Bolsonaro protesters.
On January 8, 2023, hundreds of supporters of former President @JairBolsonaro entered government buildings in Brasília, in an episode strikingly similar to January 6 in the US. Many were elderly or ill and committed no acts of violence. Yet all were labeled “coup plotters,” “terrorists,” and “fascists” by Brazil’s president @LulaOficial and Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes.
Now, the JANUARY 8 FILES show that Moraes created a secret and illegal intelligence task force that used social media posts to justify the imprisonment of nonviolent protesters.
Moraes and his task force:
— operated through a secret WhatsApp group that created illegal intelligence “reports”
— kept protestors detained while performing scans of their social media;
— used online speech as a basis for “preventative” imprisonment;
— denied lawyers access to evidence;
— illegally used a biometric database to identify protesters.
These files reveal that January 8 prosecutions were politically motivated and involved sweeping abuses of power.
Moraes, serving Lula’s interests, bypassed the law to effectively criminalize political speech. His overprosecution of protesters helped legitimize the narrative that January 8 was a coordinated “coup attempt” – a narrative central to the court’s ongoing prosecution of Bolsonaro.

Please do not forget to include @gleisi it on the sanctioned list. She is president of the PT, the party of the current president, and supports everything the STF is doing.
