📢 This is the third night that Romanians are gathering and chanting in front of the Central Detention Center in Bucharest for the release of President @CG_Romania! 🇷🇴 The TV stations refuse to show what is happening there. Why⁉️ Because if the images reached the homes of Romanians, people would see the crowd taking to the streets, and that could bring even more people there. The more people gather, the harder it becomes to control the situation with the Jagardearia devices. So, if the TV stations won’t show it, we’ll film it ourselves. ✊🏻 WE ARE THE MEDIA NOW.👁️ As @elonmusk said. 🫵🏻 📍George Georgescu Street No. 1-3 Bucharest (translated)

"He had the presence of mind - in a way, he was a hero - to open the door. You know, those doors are made of solid steel and cannot be opened from the outside. He managed to crawl, open the door, and shout (for help)." Donald Trump, President of the USA: "He had the presence of mind - in a way, he was a hero - to open the door. You know, those doors are made of solid steel and cannot be opened from the outside. He managed to crawl, open the door, and shout (for help)." (translated)

"If there is a direct attack on the Russian Federation - in this case, we refer to Kaliningrad, but there could be other territories as well - of course, naturally, the use of all the weapons our country has will immediately be on the agenda," Russian President Vladimir Putin states that in the event of a direct attack on Russia, Moscow will consider the use of "all the weapons" at its disposal.

That the US government and many other governments are trying to influence the election in Brazil is obvious. The US and others do this in most elections around the world. I have always been and continue to be against this, as I said two weeks ago in São Paulo with former president Rafael Correa from Ecuador. 👇 That said, it's a bit bizarre to see the Brazilian left screaming about how much they hate American influence in Brazilian politics, considering that the current president of one of their favorite sites -- @TheInterceptBr -- is American, was founded by 2 Americans (me and Jeremy Scahill), was funded for years entirely with American money and, after I left, continues to receive foreign funding (including from Open Society, the main funding mechanism of American/Hungarian billionaire George Soros). Maybe a little consistency would help, right? (translated)

My brother, I will make a confession to everyone to register this gift I receive. I remember stamping my foot at home and that the "fight" for you to get an education before entering politics was respected. It was already enough that I gave up following my academic education in a linear way. Through ups and downs, I graduated in Aeronautical Sciences, while you exemplary completed your law degree. During this period, you went to fry hamburgers in the United States, worked as a coordinator of a travel agency focused on young people going abroad, did an exchange at the Law School of the University of Coimbra, became a lawyer, a police federal clerk, and the most voted federal deputy in Brazil's history. Later, you set aside any vanity and worked to elect more parliamentarians at the expense of your own votes, even being betrayed by many of those you gave your sweat and lived through so many other experiences that helped shape who you are. Look where you've arrived and all that you have done for our country. Practically alone, with the few contacts you built throughout your education and journey, you reached places that many never imagined and caused profound changes in the Brazilian political and institutional landscape. You are the giant they want to bury alive, but they will never succeed. Back home, even exiled and far from all of us, you are and will always be a reference. The truth needs to be reaffirmed. As always, I am here for whatever you need. Count on me, Warrior. Thank you very much for everything. I miss you all! With @BolsonaroSP (translated)

The NYT points to interference from the Trump government to favor Flavio. This should be enough for Brazilians to be worried. The tone of the report is one of fear of looting and plundering the country's wealth. This would happen for decades. I have an opinion at the end. What the NYT claims, in summary: The newspaper states that it has not openly endorsed any candidate, but that the American government is trying to favor Flávio Bolsonaro against Lula. The text cites, as examples of these measures, tariffs, sanctions against Brazilian authorities, the designation of PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorist organizations, and questions about electronic voting machines. Brazilian authorities, diplomats, and electoral technicians interviewed by the newspaper (many anonymously) say that Brazil is setting up a “barrier” to reduce the risk of interference: monitoring foreign lobbying and disinformation, responding to fraud allegations, and discussions with countries in Europe, Asia, and others about a joint reaction after the election. Lula, at the UN and in campaign propaganda, accused the Trump government of interfering to “colonize” Brazil and take its natural resources. The newspaper emphasizes that it is unclear whether this push helps Flávio. In a close contest, a nudge from Trump could decide, but it could also provoke an anti-Trump reaction and increase the vote for Lula, as the NYT says happened in Canada and Australia. The article has a tone of fear, in Brazil, that something similar to what Trump did in other countries could be repeated, coupled with American measures that the newspaper interprets as favorable to the right. All in all: within what the NYT itself can do, the pressure from the Trump government on the press is systematic, it's a big alert. However, I think Brazilians still do not grasp the magnitude of what lies ahead. There will be decades of political, economic, democratic, and social backsliding. Many do not want to hear it. They are mistakenly convinced otherwise. The plundering will run rampant and there will be no one to investigate. (translated)

“Itamaraty is 'at the service' of Lulinha's partner. O Globo and CNN reveal that the Brazilian Embassy in Madrid helped lobbyist Roberta Luchsinger, a friend of Fábio Luís Lula da Silva, Lulinha, in the search for schools in the Spanish capital. The Itamaraty confirmed the support: the then ambassador Orlando Leite Ribeiro met Luchsinger and Renata Abreu Moreira, Lulinha’s wife, at a commercial promotion event in September 2024, and the educational sector of the embassy provided school contacts. In January 2025 the diplomat stated he was 'entirely at their service.' Messages mention offers of people and vehicles; the ministry denies the use of official cars and classifies the assistance as routine for Brazilian citizens. Laughter. Luchsinger did not move. Lulinha moved last year and remains in Spain, according to the defense. The same column by Malu Gaspar had already noted that the lobbyist organized, according to the Federal Police, a trip worth R$ 1.8 million for Lulinha and the family to see the Northern Lights. Calling this 'routine assistance' is mockery. The embassy is not a concierge for a president's child or a lobbyist circulating around the family. Taxpayers fund representation abroad to defend national interests, not to create a school list in Madrid while the firstborn settles in Europe. It’s the same old pattern: the public at the service of the family's private interests, with an official note saying that there was no irregularity. The abuse of purpose is exposed. The little bearded ones at Itamaraty need to go!” (translated)

QUIET! PRAYER! DECENCY! DIGNITY! "Madam, tell them that there are lawyers, doctors, engineers here; there are people who take care of their lives, their families, who work and contribute to the progress of this country." I was at the central detention center last night. I didn't post because I'm somewhat fed up with the TikTok crowd that uses these moments to promote/monetize themselves. In a year and a half, there have been many moments in front of the judicial control that have been ruined by these characters, perhaps well-intentioned, but who have turned these moments too often into a spectacle for social media. What I want to say, without wishing to get into polemics with anyone, is that we must be very careful about the energy we create around these gatherings. If the vibe is controlled by conflicting, aggressive people, with negative emotions, quality people who feel the same way we do will be hesitant to join. And not because they don’t care, but because they don’t feel at home in such a space. Why do I say this? Because, despite the tension in society, now is the moment for QUIET! PRAYER! DECENCY! DIGNITY! Thank you, Ana-Maria Nita, for managing to beautifully summarize, in a private conversation we had this morning, what needs to be done. They will want to hijack these gatherings as they did with the shepherds' protest. They will exploit negative emotions. They will try to push us towards conflict, towards anger, towards violence. They will not be able to do this if we raise the vibration. I would like to propose to those of you who go there evening after evening, and I will come too, to understand that now the main message we need to convey is one of support for Călin Georgescu. To let him know that we are by his side – WE ARE HERE! And it was beautifully chanted last night: "Căline, Căline, we are here with you!" And the main message we need to convey to those who have mocked this country and its people is that we know everything they have done. That we haven't forgotten the pandemic. That we haven't forgotten the plunder. That we haven't forgotten the cancellation of the elections. That we haven't forgotten their contempt. BUT we choose to confront them calmly, with dignity, through unity, through commitment, with the belief that they cannot abuse, persecute, and arrest us all. Last night, when I arrived, around 10 PM, there were over 1,000–1,500 people. I came without hope that there would be so many people because I hadn't seen anything anywhere in the mainstream press. I was surprised by the energy there. From the beautiful people who stopped me and said the quote from the title: "Madam, tell them that there are lawyers, doctors, engineers here; there are people who take care of their lives, their families, who work and contribute to the progress of this country." The most uplifting moment of the evening was the singing of the anthem, initiated by the nai player Nicolae Voiculeț. A passage was posted by Mrs. Cristela Georgescu. It was the energy, the vibe of that moment that convinced me that these gatherings must be transformed into a cenacle. A CENACLE FOR THE RENAISSANCE OF ROMANIA. We must show them that we are much more than the labels they put on us. The words of Caramitru Jr. after the shepherds' protest echo in my mind: "interlopers," "destroyed," "the scum of society" from "boondocks." A bloated person like him despises real Romania; it repulses him. And there are many like him, many "juniors" (Papahagi, Tismăneanu, Paleologu) who set the tone of hatred and venom and spread it throughout society. Returning to what happened last night. I left when the chants began with "The gendarmerie protects theft," "Mușușor, arrested." It shouldn't be about this now. What would I do? I would go with a white armband. We need a symbol of peace, of resistance, and of dignity. I would encourage Nicolae Voiculeț to transform these gatherings into a cenacle. I would lift the crowd; I wouldn't lower their vibration. I would chant one thing: WE ARE HERE! (translated)

Carlos Alcaraz: "I couldn’t train outdoors until the warm-up this morning, and I hadn’t played any matches on outdoor courts for a long time. I had trained indoors, but the feeling was completely different. The ball feels bigger, and I think the court is quite a bit slower than indoor, so it was difficult to adapt to those conditions and adjust my game. I was a bit frustrated not being able to show my tennis, my style of play, being aggressive, because the conditions didn’t allow me to. It was quite difficult, but I am very happy to have accepted it, to have understood how I had to play, and, obviously, to have achieved victory in the end. It was very important to have these feelings going into the next round and to know what I need to do from now on in the upcoming matches." (translated)
