A police station near the #AmazonRiver was machine gunned. The national guard was deployed to help the local police and dozens of arrests were made. The order for the attack came from inside a local state jail, and now some prisoners are being moved to federal prisons. Most public services and businesses were still closed this Tuesday. Even the vaccination was suspended. #terrorism
- The #SupremeCourt (#STF) accepted judging a request from Congressman #JulioDelgado that asks for the soccer championship #CopaAmerica (#AmericaCup) not to take place in #Brazil due to the #pandemic. Until then, the STF had no business in ruling over this and didn't have to, but given their insatiable need for the spotlight solely to antagonize and destabilize the #Bolsonaro administration, they accepted it. #covid
- #SaoPaulo governor João #Doria was seen enjoying a sunbath by the pool at a hotel in #RiodeJaneiro without wearing a mask. This wouldn't be news if he wasn't the top pro-pandemic restrictions guy among all Brazilian governors, and he recently asked people to travel only if extremely needed and to avoid agglomeration. #covid
- Brazilian TV celebrity #JulianaPaes caused a stir among her colleagues when she criticized how senators treated doctor #NiseYamaguchi during the hearing on the mismanagement of the #pandemic. Yamaguchi was an open advocate of preventive treatment using #hydroxychloroquine, which prompted the #AlbertEinsteinHospital to fire her claiming her position damaged their image. Paes' position was supported by some and criticized by others, which led her to respond on social media by saying, “I AM NOT A BOLSOMINION [an unconditional supporter of President #Bolsonaro] AND A RIGHTWINGER, BUT I DO NOT SUPPORT THE COMMUNISTIC DELUSIONS OF THE EXTREME LEFT.” Some celebrities went nuts and kept criticizing her, but most comments from celebrities and fans were supportive.
- The Army decided not to punish the Secretary (Minister) of Health #Pazuello for attending #Bolsonaro's motorcycle rally the Sunday before.
