Coup supporters won't sleep tonight, in this national holiday of Tiradentes. Thousands and thousands of people occupied Paulista Avenue, downtown São Paulo, Brazil, in a protest against the parliamentary coup that intends to overthrow president Dilma Rousseff and handle the power to two gangsters accused of involvement in the Petrobrás graft scandal. The protest wasn't scheduled or organized by anyone, which is the why it's scaring the ones supporting the coup. The citizens simply decided to take it to the streets. It started 6 p.m (20th) and is still going on right now (21st, midnight).









Earlier, a group of people surrounded the residence of the Vice-President Michel Temer, also in São Paulo. Police arrived in order to let him get out of the house and he traveled to Brasilia.

1. Oh, WOW! How splendid. How wonderful. This is magnificent. It's so beautiful.

I have to take this in, gotta let it seep into my brain. Now I'm getting tears in my eyes.

They put a US American corporate flag on Temer, the rat, who also fell down, went "boom." He had to collect his tail!

I have to leave for a short time, will be back to feast on this wonderful photo collection, etc.

Thank you, so much. It gives us reason to hope.

2. Brazil's much too big for one lobbyist to get State to greenlight the whiteshirt marches

Clinton thought that ultimately the 2009 coup was an unimportant event in an unimportant country, that it'd just be a sidenote and she could wait out the clock on Zelaya--he's a chavista, right? he'll just be a macho dictator

so her decision not only plunged Honduras into a living hell but told the continental Right that Washington wasn't gonna change its tune, that it was actively as well as passively supportive of their endless criminality

3. This one's not going the same way. Poor, poor State Department. n/t
