Now that Brazilian news went back to being more funny than tragic again, I think Tumblr should know that defeated candidate Jair Bolsonaro and his wife just unfollowed each other.
BREAKING: Bolsonaro supporters storm Brazil National Congress
Hundreds of people appear to have overcome security and stormed the National Congress building. Bolsonaro backers have refused to accept leftist Lula's election victory.
Supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro stormed the National Congress building in Brasilia on Sunday.
According to news agency LUSA, hundreds of people invaded the building, calling for military intervention to overthrow President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Lula was inaugurated one week ago.
LUSA said the group crossed a police barrier and climbed the ramp that gives access to the roof of the Chamber of Deputies and Senate buildings.
It's voting day here in Brazil. Right now it's 16:05, people can only vote until 17:00.
And all day the police has been stopping people from the northeast from voting. Buses that were supposed to be free aren't coming. People can't go vote. Most of the affected are black, brown and indigenous
The northeast holds a large percentage of left wing voters. We had been counting on them to carry us through this election.
I'm queer, afab, brown and I study in a public university. The government hates me. I'm genuinely scared of what might happen to me if bolsonaro is allowed to remain in office. These four years he has been praising the military dictatorship, saying that 'it didn't kill enough people', and now the military police is stopping people from the region with his largest opposition from voting.
You cannot tell me this isn't an attempt at a coup. Please talk about this. Tweet "deixem o nordeste votar". With enough pressure, they may extend the voting time. Please, I'm begging you
The year was 2018. I cried myself to sleep because my country had just elected a literal fascist for the presidency. In that moment, I had never felt more alone in my entire life.
Today, after four years of fighting tooth and nail for our democracy, for the Amazon, for the right of simply existing, my heart is full of hope for the future once again.
Thank you to each and every one of you for never giving up. There's still a lot to be done. I'm under no illusion that everything is already perfectly fine, but it's an excellent start.
Marielle Franco, Anderson, Moá do Katendê, Bruno, Dom, the almost 700k COVID victims who were killed by this government and so many others: this one was for you.
"You think I came here to do politicking? For crying out loud!", Bolsonaro says to a reporter after he spoke for 13 seconds about Queen Elizabeth II and almost two minutes about his electoral campaign agenda at her funeral.
Yall. I was supposed to be studying rn. But I can’t. I am too anxious.
