Today @USDA @SecRollins and I secured a major win for animal welfare.

Ridglan Farms will transfer its remaining 475 beagles out of a research breeding facility and into the care of a no-kill rescue, where they can begin the path to adoption.

Thank you, @LaraLeaTrump, for championing this issue.

We are also launching a new @NIH office, ORIVA, to speed the transition away from animal testing and toward modern, human-based science.

We will keep fighting for humane treatment of animals, better science, and accountability.

@BolsonaroSP Perfeita essa nota. Parabéns pela tentativa. Mas os brasileiros nao tiveram nem caráter nem coragem para se valer dela. Obrigada por tentar.

This is how their elite embodied by The Economist choose to interpret the Brazil's moment. I felt physically ill after reading this drivel. It reads like something a Stalinist hack would have churned out for Pravda. It is morally bankrupt.

“Enforcing the Constitution is not a coup.”

Adenilson Demetrio de Cordova received a “positive” label because of a single post found on X. It linked to a petition titled “Manifesto to the Brazilian Nation – In Defense of Liberty,” published months before the 2022 election by a profile with zero followers and zero views.

Another man, Ademir da Silva, was kept in jail for a single Instagram post. The post read: “Enforcing the Constitution is not a coup.” That alone was classified as “anti-democratic” and as evidence of “discontent with the 2022 election results.” No other content was cited.

“A distortion typical of authoritarian regimes”

Legal experts are unanimous: the STF and TSE broke all legal boundaries.

Marco Aurélio Mello, former Supreme Court Justice, called Moraes’ power grab “nefarious.” and the Jan 8 sentences “disproportionate.” Said Mello, “I cannot understand how they can be sentenced to 15, 16, 17 years in prison. Those are sentences for murderers or armed robbers, not for rioters or vandals.”

Attorney André Marsíglia, a freedom of expression specialist, said the court’s creation of illegal reports represents “an unconstitutional takeover of prosecutorial functions — a distortion typical of authoritarian regimes, where the law is weaponized as a tool of revenge.”

Ives Gandra da Silva Martins, a respected  90‑year‑old law scholar, says Moraes turned the task force into “a kind of guardian of what may or may not be said in Brazilian democracy.”

Thank you, Shellenberger, for caring.
Brazil may not be the top priority on the U.S. foreign policy radar, but it is the most essential commercial partner in S America. Its influence extends well beyond its borders, shaping the political direction of many neighboring countries.

“The Prosecutor General’s Office asked for their release, but the Justice doesn’t want to let them go before we check their social media.”

In the weeks following January 8, hundreds of detainees remained in jail — even when the Prosecutor General’s Office (PGO) formally recommended their release. Legal deadlines were ignored, violating the Code of Criminal Procedure.

What public defenders and attorneys suspected, but could not yet prove, can now be confirmed. The real reason behind the delays was that Moraes was waiting for his task force to scan defendants’ social media accounts.

In a WhatsApp message on February 13, 2023, Moraes’ loyal chief of staff, Cristina Kusahara, acknowledged that the PGO had recommended the release of a group of detainees, but Moraes “doesn’t want to let them go before we can check their social media.”

CONTEXT:

Last Month, Brazil’s Supreme Court (STF) ordered Bolsonaro to wear an electronic ankle monitor and prohibited him from using social media and communicating with other individuals under investigation.

Brazil now faces 50% tariffs from the US, a measure set to go into effect on August 6.

Moraes’ “creative” use of his powers — sanctioned under the Global Magnitsky Act for human rights abuses by US Secretary of State @marcorubio — was the basis for:
— Banning @jairbolsonaro from elections for 8 years
— Censoring journalists & attempts at intimidation against critics like @elonmusk
— Mass arrests and asset freezes of innocent people

This is lawfare at its highest level.

The leaked JANUARY 8 FILES reveal new material from the “Vaza Toga” archive first exposed by @ggreenwald and @FabioSerapiao.

🚨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.

Depois de tudo, ELE DESPACHOU...

APESAR DE TODOS OS PEDIDOS, REQUERIMENTO MÉDICO, INDÍCIOS DE INFECÇÃO E DERRAME, Moraes, em despacho (03/08), agora pouco, decidiu que TÍNHAMOS QUE ESPERAR A SEAP SE MANIFESTAR EM 48 HORAS, E A PGR EM 5 DIAS, conforme despacho do dia anterior (imagens 01 e 02).

Se estivesse para MORRER, Daniel amanheceria morto.

Parabéns, Moraes! Você se superou!
