The WashPost -- like the WSJ -- has an editorial today sounding the alarm on Brazil's authoritarianism.
Its point -- like mine and everyone's -- isn't that Bolsonaro is innocent. It's that Judge Alexandre de Moraes is a tyrant who persecutes political enemies with no limits.

The center of the Brazil story is not Flavio Bolsonaro but rather Alexandre de Moraes, who has utterly destroyed the credibility of the Brazilian justice system and its democracy through years of escalating persecution against critics, dissidents and political opponents, all while the Brazilian left celebrated him for doing it.
That's why countries now routinely reject Brazil's extradition requests in Moraes' cases, and why international media has continuously warned of Brazilian authoritarianism as a result of the censorship and imprisonment regime that the Brazilian left built with Moraes as its leader. (And all of that is separate from the massive corruption scandal he's at the middle of, where his family received $40 million from the corrupt billionaire who caused Brazil's largest-ever banking collapse).
If you don't start your "reporting" about the Bolsonaro/US case by emphasizing that it was Moraes who ordered Bolsonaro's passport seized and banned him from leaving the country -- as an obvious prelude to arresting him even though he's been charged with no crimes -- then there's no way to understand what happened here let alone explain to readers and viewers why Flavio Bolsonaro would never have gotten anything remotely resembling a fair trial.
Flávio Bolsonaro joins numerous dissident Brazilian journalists, bloggers and opinion makers who have gone into exile rather than risk prison.

Wow.
Democrats don't support gun rights for Americans.
But they will coddle illegals with illegal guns.

I asked @AbdulElSayed what I imagine many undecided Michigan voters are wondering: Is he a woke 1.0 guy serving the activist class, or someone who wants to work for everybody?
Here’s our exchange on his Medicare 4 All plan covering puberty blockers for minors
Aka, entrenching Democrat power and control by any means necessary. @grok will say it’s not authoritarian/fascist because it isn’t explicitly against the constitution to add states, pack the Courts and granting citizenship immediately for partisan reason

🚨 This lady in California nails what’s happening with the Democrat party aka DSA! 🔥
She’s glad President Trump & his admin is in office for just this moment, or we would be France! 👀
She’s right! I’m glad President Trump is in office as well! He’s stopping fraud and will do what it takes to keep our borders closed!
This is one Democrat with her head on straight & is awake! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Young women are often the most sadistic communists. Lenin and Pol Pot and Mao and many others have used them for the nastiest jobs.
Take that motherly instinct and channel it towards the revolution and you’ve got yourself a true demon.
At @UTSA for Pick Up the Mic, a student read a poem celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk with such glee, then told me I was brave to be out here without my neck covered.
I told her I’d pray for her.
This is the climate. We pick up the mic anyway.

Why are the TPUSA guys still debating? Every “debate” clip I see from them now is just:
> “You should not kill me.”
> “Ok but we’re going to.”

Counterpoint: You never vote for a pagan communist who would castrate your kids, disarm you, and who advocates blasphemy.
Ever.
In fact, you vote for whoever opposes them, no matter how imperfect.

🔥 This moderate Democrat 👇🏻 has finally realized what Obama was all about. He loved him & thought he was great. He promised Hope & Change. 🙄
And then he saw him campaigning for these weird candidates like Abdul and realized Obama wasn’t what he claimed to be. He covered up who he was and now is doing the same for these candidates like Mamdani & Abdul.
He doesn’t like the fact that Obama talks to you like you’re stupid! That’s the narcissist coming out.
This Dem is looking for integrity and patriotism 🇺🇸 and isn’t finding it in the Democratic Party! 👊🏻Great news! 🙌🏻
Vote Red ❤️🇺🇸to stop the Dem Party!

Yesterday I was talking with an economist. A genuinely sharp guy.
We ended up agreeing on a conclusion that isn't comfortable: Europe and the West are down to two scenarios.
Scenario one: communism gets defeated within the next 5 years. We finally do what has to be done on immigration and on the economy. It will be hard, really hard. But better a horrible ending than horror without end.
Scenario two: communism wins. And right behind it, most likely, Islamic tyranny. Not in 50 years. Soon after.
There is no in-between. No "it'll sort itself out," no lukewarm third way where everyone keeps their little comfort zone.
What fascinates me is that the vast majority of people don't see this at all. They're living through this period as if it were just another political cycle.
But there's good news. The people who've been sounding the alarm for 20 years were right. They were called crazy, doomers, prophets of decline. And every month, reality proves them a little more right.
The faster people realize this, the further ahead we get.
Waking up is already half the battle.
