brpol, coup
Hearing from a friend in brazil that there's a coup d'etat happening right now.
Their military has closed the borders, police are arresting any voters with left-leaning stickers, and the commander has said they won't follow brazil's supreme court anymore.
To anyone in brazil right now, please stay safe!
brpol, coup
@Zauberin as someone with a friend who works for the courts there, whom I can't get in contact with right now, that is very, very worrying.
re: brpol, coup
@Zauberin Alright, yeah, there's voter suppression going on for sure and that's bad. I can't find anything else indicating a military takeover though, so hopefully it doesn't come to that
