Crucially, by upholding their constitution and the rule of law, Brazil discovered that support for Bolsonaro evaporated save for a dwindling minority of die-hards and dead-enders. Because Brazilians see Bolsonaro as a criminal and a loser, they've largely moved on from him.

“All I think about is how this woman was part of mainstreaming this guy,” said Aparna Nair, professor at the Department of Health and Society at the University of Toronto. RFK Jr. “will do profound damage on a global scale—that’s all that matters."
Olivia Nuzzi wrote an entire story based on unnamed sources about Biden's decline, reinvigorating calls for him to leave the race -- and the whole time, she was working on RFK Jr.'s behalf, according to her ex-fiance. newrepublic.com/article/2035...
Olivia Nuzzi’s Real Victims
More than her fiancé, or fellow female journalists, the public will pay the price for these misdeeds. RFK Jr. will see to that.

@nisrinelamin.bsky.social Read your Transitions essay. It's very powerful in both the personal and in the deadly geopolitics of it all for Sudan. I am happy you got this done and out into the world. I hope it has a real impact beyond readership. (Even if it doesn't, posterity matters, too).

Let’s be clear: this (inspiring) amputee football tournament is a direct consequence of Israeli athleticide—the deliberate maiming of Palestinian athletes in an attempt to render them incapable of performing athletic national identity.
This tournament is thus a profound act of refusal.
