Flávio fugir pela ponte Tancredo Neves tem algo de poesia.
E ainda foi ajudado pelas regras facilitadas de movimentação internacional possibilitadas pelo Mercosul.
La Dirección Nacional de Migraciones informa que a las 22:50 hs del dia 27/10, ingresaron por el paso fronterizo de Puente internacional Tancredo Neves en la provincia de Misiones, los ciudadanos Flavio Nantes Bolsonaro, Fernanda Antunes Figueira Bolsonaro, Carolina Figueira Bolsonaro y Luiza Figueira Bolsonaro, quienes lo hicieron con documentación hábil de viaje sin ningún impedimento legal para el ingreso al país, asimismo los tránsitos fueron registrados por la autoridad de aplicación sin incidentes.
Por su parte, a las 23:30 hs, la comitiva ingresante abordó un vuelo privado despachado por la compañía Baires Fly S.A con destino a la ciudad de Guayaquil, Ecuador, según se informó en el plan de vuelo.
This is a ridiculously uninformed piece, and as a fellow libertarian I expected more from Cato. A few things the author either didn't check or got wrong:
1) Both campaigns asked for the voting extension. Flávio Bolsonaro's own party requested extra hours in three states before the ruling. A remedy both sides asked for is not "selective interference."
2) The judge who confirmed the extension changed nothing is Nunes Marques, president of the Superior Electoral Court and a Bolsonaro appointee to the Supreme Court. The piece quotes him, then ignores what he said.
3) "A judge he had unilaterally appointed" is false. The TSE has seven seats: three Supreme Court justices, two from the Superior Court of Justice, and two lawyers the President names from a list of six drawn up by the Supreme Court. The ruling in question came from a lawyer-seat minister picked from that list.
4) Bolsa Família is a means-tested cash-transfer program, not "social security." Brazil has a social security system; this is not it, and the two run on different laws and budgets. @hiperfalcon also fails to mention that in 2022 his favored Bolsonaro side raised the same cash-transfer benefit by 50% a hundred days before the vote, with the same courts looking on (still the largest single raise in the program’s history).
5) X was blocked for refusing to keep a legal representative in the country, as the law requires of every company, and it came back the moment it complied.
Brazil's courts deserve serious criticism, and this isn't it. That is a lot of mistakes for a seven-paragraph article.
Free elections depend on neutral courts that stay within their limits. In Brazil’s latest election, they did not, and that undermines trust in the democratic process, writes Cato’s @hiperfalcon.
O churrasco gaúcho foi para o Paraná e lá virou a melhor versão de si mesmo. Está documentado.
“The best churrascarias I have had were on the outskirts of Curitiba in the south.” 👏👏👏

Brutal Mogging by Nael, age 6
A poem by Anne Carson, who was awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Literature. Read it in full: newyorker.com/magazine/2001/…
Beautiful work, @jddwor. The clothes-washing poem from 1797 blew me away.
In 1843, Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote to a friend after seeing her first daguerreotype: “The very shadow of the person lying there fixed for ever! … I would rather have such a memorial of one I dearly loved, than the noblest artist’s work ever produced.”
Our lives and homes are filled with things that once inspired similar awe. I tried to collect those feelings, in quotes like the one above, from people for whom what is now ordinary was brand new. A friar who met the inventor of eyeglasses, a founding father on the new smallpox vaccine, a woman in Iowa on her family’s first indoor bathroom. To look at a modern apartment through their eyes: ordinaryabundance.com
