Today, in grotesque mimicry of Trump's failed coup on January 6, 2021, far-right supporters of previous Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro invaded the National Congress in Brasilia.
Across the world, the far right and fascists are attempting to build the capacity to seize power by force.
Background on the situation in Brazil:

Relying on the state to prevent the far right from coming to power will only strengthen the institutions that they hope to wield against us:

Billionaires and their far-right supporters are attempting to gentrify the concept of revolt itself. We must not let them appropriate or discredit the idea of rebellion:
PSA tho; it is completely acceptable to unfollow/block/mute/ignore someone because you don't like them. Just do that? Despite what some of you seem to think, pissing you off personally, is not NECESSARILY a hate crime.
Work on this, please, because it's sorta foundational to community organizing.
"I have a problem with that" versus "we have a problem with that."
We're surrounded by nazis, the priority here cannot be "purging the ranks of people I personally think are dickholes" or we lose.
Another fascist coup attempt going on right now. And these people are well organized, internationally - Bolsonaro has counted on 45's (former) advisor team (inlcuding Bannon) for quite some time now. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/01/08/world/brazil-congress-protests-bolsonaro
That whole thing about the 1/6 insurrection being a model for other countries WAS NOT JUST A THEORY.
