For everyone scouring media regarding the attempted coup in Brazil, save the pictures and videos. They will be useful for prosecutions later.
I do believe Twitter is dying.
It's just that it takes a long time for social networks to die.
The first step in killing a social network is killing the culture around it.
Twitter's culture is still alive, but it has cancer.
In Iran, 22 year old Mohammad Ghobadlou and 19 year old Mohammad Broghan are facing the death penalty for protesting against the Islamic Republic. They have been taken into solitary confinement. It is believed they may be executed shortly.
Say their names.

I sincerely thank you for taking that risk. People "voting thinking about their pocketbooks" is how we got here.
You know what they say about sitting down at a table with 9 Nazis?

Jair Bolsonaro and Donald Trump are watching J6 part two:J8 on television
Kicking back at Mar-a-Lago and reading through top-secret documents like they were comic books
Meanwhile, our governments waste no time in arresting the low level smoothbrains who had little to do in planning these coup attempts.
“It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it”
#Lula (continued): “And we are going to find out the financiers of those who went to #Brasilia today, and they will all pay with the force of law.”
Lula also said he would sign a “federal security intervention decree for the Federal District of Brasilia”.
Via Nathalie Urban: Lula criticized the #MilitaryPolice force from the Federal District. "I would say that there was incompetence, poor will or bad faith of the people who take care of the security of the DF". #Brazil #Bolsonaristas #Fascism
Dan Friedman writes,
"Steve Bannon and others involved in the January 6, 2021 attack on Congress lauded supporters of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro as they stormed government buildings in their capital on Sunday. The cheerleading showed that far-right supporters of Donald Trump’s Big Lie are not merely unrepentant but eager to continue exporting their opposition to democratic norms."

In late 2015, Mike Flynn was paid $600,000 by a cutout of the Turkish government for “consulting.”
In Summer 2016 there was a “coup” in Turkey that cemented Erdogan’s power and falsely pointed the blame at Turkish cleric Fetullah Gulen. The feckless press believed the false flag hook, line and sinker.
On election day 2016, Mike Flynn wrote a fawning “op-ed” praising Erdogan and attacking Gulen. Later it was reported that Flynn had been thinking about *kidnapping* Gulen in Pennsylvania.
When you see someone like Elon Musk embracing the far right, it's not because the far right has any kind of coherent political or intellectual worldview he agrees with. It's because the far right is the last bastion of shitty people - they will accept anyone regardless of their personal behavior.
The far right have no standards for behavior, identity or beliefs - you only need to share the raw desire to dominate others. The far right welcomes all manner of abusers, thieves, grifters, and scoundrels.
Logically therefore if you're an abuser, thief, grifter or a scoundrel you will eventually find that the only friends you have left are far right extremists.

#Brazil's president says far-right protesters who stormed Congress will be found and punished. Follow live updates
RT @jsrailton: 14/ Note: deleted a tweet showing pro-#Bolsonaro rioters savagely attacking a police officer in #Brazil.
I'm lightly concerned Twitter's moderation approach will reflect Musk's political views on the matter & I want to make sure this thread stays live.

I'm so upset. My 13 year old's Spanish class is going to a restaurant where they will practice their Spanish (order food, etc.). Outside of the COVID-19 pandemic this would be an exciting event. During the pandemic... it just breaks my heart that the idea that we need to stay safe -- safer than eating inside at a restaurant! -- is a "radical" idea. I don't have it in me to take this away from her. I'm going to let her go (she'll wear her mask when not eating).

Remember when Donald Trump Jr. and Jason Miller attended a CPAC event in Brazil in 2021, and Miller was detained for “anti-democratic acts”?

Hey people of Mastodon! I need your help in getting this to more people's awareness. I released a track about narcissistic and sexual abuse that I went through for 3.5 years and released it a week ago but almost no one heard it. This is so important for me, I just want it to be heard. Would you listen? Would you repost or send to a friend? Thank you. ❤️

Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
