Alright but there’s some CRAZY historical shit happening in brazil right now

our ex-president (and the most popular politician alive here by far) was convicted of a crime and police issued an arrest warrant for him yesterday

so he basically said “fine, come and get me, i’ll be at the labor union speaking to the people who support me meanwhile” (cause he was running for president again this year and was VERY likely to win)

and so many fucking people showed up and basically barricaded blocks and blocks around the building that police can’t get near him

and police knows exactly where he is so they can’t consider him a fugitive and apply penalties cause he’s technically not breaking the law

and today after negotiating his surrender carefully he tried to get out and people literally won’t get off the gate???

people are literally human-barricading this dude from being arrested this is WILD

Important to note that this is all part of a coup by the bourgeoise right wing in brazil to oust the workers party that started in 2016 when they got workers party ex president dilma roussef illegally impeached

right wing judge sergio moro accused lula of receiving a bribe in form of a luxury apartment in guarujá

they took it to court and lula was sentenced to 12 years jail time despite no real evidence being presented

lulas lawyers are currently presenting the case to the UN as a case of a human rights violation by the brazilian judicial system

this is likely to be a turning point for brazil’s left bc

a.) they’re now unified (protesters from all different leftist parties came together to support lula) and

b.) it undeniably proves that electoral politics are no longer a feasible solution for the left

the main form of resistance against the coup thus far has been voting for alternative parties (like lula’s) and protesting, but moro and the rest of the car wash leaders are brazen enough to arrest lula, despite it being clearly illegal and w/ international eyes on them /and/ the case being brought to the UN, which has already been intervening in a similar case in catalonia. so they’re not even pretending to abide by their own laws anymore, or care about the will of the brazilian people.

For short: The military AND the Brazilian judiciary are BOTH being controlled by the extreme right. this is political persecution. This is an unconstitutional act that violates human rights and a scandal of unspeakable consequences. This is a full blown attack on Brazilian and Latin American democracy and social prosperity.

Lula was born and raised in the Northeast and he grew up extremely poor. He was a metal worker and became an union leader. He was jailed for 31 days under the military dictatorship. His political career started upon his release. Lula lifted millions of people out of hunger, out of absolute poverty and unemployment.

PLEASE READ, “Lula, I am an idea. And ideas do not die” - that’s what the extreme right wants. to criminalize the most popular president in history. one of the biggest symbols of social and political resistance of Latin America. And the world.

Dude, this sounds like what happened in Chile. Stay safe guys.

C: What character do you identify with most? Depends on the fandom. Raistlin in Dragonblance, Tony Stark in the MCU, and Newton in Pacific Rim. Probably Newton the most overall.

L: What’s the weirdest AU you’ve ever come up with? Given the sheer variety of AUs I’ve written for Pacific Rim, it would have to be one of them. It’s hard to just pick one so I’ll give shouts outs to my Cruella AU, teh Atlantic Rim AU, and anything I wrote where everyone is small furry animals.

I: Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)? A hard split between absolute fluff where everything is good and nothing hurts, and utter pitch-dark despair where the main characters usually end up committing suicide. I have a weakness for Romeo-Juliette endings.

P: Are you what George R. R. Martin would call an “architect” or a “gardener”? (How much do you plan in advance, versus letting the story unfold as you go?) Big time gardener here, although I’m getting better and sorting out my plots.
