If, by the way, the same situation that just happened in Brazil had happened but with the parties switched -- if Bolsonaro had won last night's election and then a pro-Bolsonaro judge sent the Federal Police to seize Lula's passport and bar him from leaving the country -- every major western media outlet and liberal NGOs would be screaming about the authoritarian attack on Brazil's elections and the destruction of basic freedoms.
One day after Lula was declared the winner of Brazil's elections, his opponent -- Sen. Flavio Bolsonaro -- just had had his passport seized by the Federal Police. Theose police were sent by notorious tyrant Judge Alexandre de Moraes. What a lovely democratic image.

NEW: Flávio Bolsonaro has fled Brazil after his 'loss' to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and is en route to the United States, according to Metrópoles. The report comes after the right-wing senator was ordered to hand over his passport to federal police. Friends and lawyers say that during a meeting on Monday, Bolsonaro was "afraid of being arrested." "A supreme court justice cancelled Bolsonaro’s passport minutes after the result in a ruling related to a criminal case against the senator. He had until 11am to surrender the document to the federal police, but did not appear," the Guardian reported. Bolsonaro has refused to concede the election. The New York Times reports that the election could be annulled because Lula's former personal attorney made a last-minute decision to keep the polls open, causing chaos and confusion. Bolsonaro's father, Brazil's former president, is under house arrest, and his brother is in "self-imposed exile" in the United States. That brother, former congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro, recommended that his brother flee Brazil if he lost during an interview last week. Metrópoles reports that Flávio Bolsonaro is headed to Florida.

I can confirm that @FlavioBolsonaro is no longer in Brazil and is on his way to the United States. A US protective operation is underway to ensure his safety.

The LA Metro has been seen dropping off large amounts of homeless people in Azusa, California. Which is in Los Angeles County The homeless get removed from the Metro by the sheriff then sent into the residential neighborhoods. Residents are now reporting people at front doors, thefts, noise and loitering The city removed the bus stop benches and the city’s light poles are now being stripped for copper wiring by the homeless as well Democrats are literally destroying people’s lives. Imagine living in a peaceful city then all the sudden busloads of homeless start getting dumped in every night…. Insanity Hold Democrat politicians accountable

This is the difference. California relies on the honor system. If someone attests they’re a U.S. citizen, they don’t check or verify it. But DHS has their alien numbers and full immigration histories. This is going to be a really interesting fight to watch play out.
NEW: LA County says a sample of the Trump admin's 200 names of suspected non-citizen voters showed that 38.9% attested to being born in the US. But in a new sworn statement under penalty of perjury, a DHS official says its investigation shows NONE of LA County's 200 names were born in the US.   "After a thorough review of the immigration records of all the individuals on the County's Sample List, it was determined that none of the individuals USCIS matched to the County's Sample List were born in the United States according to USCIS records," -Nicolas Bartell, Associate Director of Fraud Detection at USCIS.

The Ninth Circuit dismissed the appeal on the basis that it didn't have jurisdiction to hear it yet. It did not dismiss the lawsuit, and it did not issue a ruling on the merits. California voters -- why do you elect idiots like Rob Bonta and Kamala Harris to the highest law enforcement position in the state? Bonta is either lying in this post or he is a certifiable idiot.
BREAKING: The federal court of appeals has just DISMISSED Trump’s lawsuit threatening to disenfranchise thousands of Californians right before the midterm elections Trump’s lawsuit bordered on the absurd and was nothing more than a reckless political stunt This meritless lawsuit has appropriately been thrown out of court

True
Lula packed Brazil’s Supreme Court with his own lawyer and justice minister and had them lock his rival up for 27 years. Back in 2023, after taking power, he named Cristiano Zanin and Flávio Dino to the court. In 2025 both voted to convict Jair Bolsonaro of a coup plot and hand him the sentence. That court had previously wiped Lula’s own corruption convictions in 2021 so he could run again. On election day, Zanin ordered the polls kept open another 2 hours, 3 minutes before they were supposed to close. Both sides had asked, but the call came from Lula’s former defense lawyer. Even after Bolsonaro was barred and jailed, Lula still trailed Flávio 45–47 in the first round and only scraped past him by under 4 points in the runoff. Flávio still refuses to concede. Lula called the win a defeat for denialism and lies. Two of the judges who put his rival away were the men he put on the court. Voters barely picked him. The court cleared the path.

🚨🚨THE DEMOCRACY FILES / ILLEGITIMACY PLAYBOOK, PART 10: THE ROLE OF FOREIGN STATES🚨 (First post deleted for typo) How is an old government declared illegitimate and a new government declared the true successor? Months before the actual transition, the following are achieved in advance: • Civil society and activists get prepared for big uprisings. • Media narratives are pre-seeded. • Foreign officials provide cover. The last point is what this drop is all about. You saw it last night - as soon as Lula "won" the election, EU officials and Alex Soros immediately swept in with their congratulations. That is a deliberate strategy to grant Lula legitimacy, not an organic congratulations. The idea is to saturate the people with the idea that "this is the legitimate government, and you will accept it." In these files, we see the various NGOs strategize on how to reach out to governments in advance and prepare them for what is coming. We also revisit how USAID OTI, the regime change arm of USAID, allegedly re-organized themselves inside the country. We record one meeting taking place between Horizons Project and Catalonia officials. That we were able to document a meeting at all is unusual, because I'm told that these meetings are generally arranged at the highest levels and kept off the record (think Jake Sullivan, Norm Eisen level).
