It’s grim out here folks. Rioters in support of fascist former president Jair Bolsonaro have violently stormed the capitol buildings in Brasília today to protest what they believe was a “stolen election” in a move that feels eerily similar to our own insurrection on Jan 6, 2021. Protestors have broken through the armed police and set up barricades, and even used poles and other weapons to force the security teams off of their horses. However, other Pro-Bolsonaro police assisted them inside. According to the New York Times, thousands of protestors “ascended a ramp to the roof of the congressional building in Brasília, the capital, while a smaller group invaded the building from a lower level, according to witnesses and videos of the scene posted on social media.” Luckily neither the Brazilian congress nor current President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva were in the buildings.
