Far-right supporters protested on Sunday in several Brazilian cities to show their support for former President Jair Bolsonaro and thank Donald Trump for the tariff hike that will negatively impact the Brazilian economy.

Bolsonaro, however, did not participate in the events. The former president is under judicial measures that prohibit him from leaving his home on weekends, as part of the restrictions imposed for his participation in attacks on democracy.

Among their demands, protesters also called for amnesty for those imprisoned for the attempted coup on January 8, 2023, when the headquarters of the three branches of government in Brasilia were invaded and vandalized.

Bolsonaro supporters also demanded the resignation of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and the impeachment of Judge Alexandre de Moraes, who is presiding over the trial that could send Bolsonaro to prison this year.

Calling themselves “patriots,” the groups waved not only the Brazilian flag, but also those of the United States and Israel.

Honestly thinking how liberals completely accept everything . There is no democracy, governments don't give a single shit about people's demand, including the demand to stop bombing starving people. Human rights are gone, you can't deny it even if you only look at western media. Corrupt pedophile oligarchs are in control. Everything gets worse and worse. Governments do not fear their people at all. Government no longer serves you, you serve government. French revolution (a revolution that belongs to them more than us) is betrayed and counter revolution is successful. Everything they fought against is in control. Everything they fought for is gone

Syria: Poverty Skyrockets Despite Currency Stabilization

Two contrasting developments in recent weeks underscore the disparity. First, more than 800 Korean cars have arrived in the country, bringing the total to over 100,000 newly imported vehicles, worth an estimated $500 million to $1 billion. Second, the UN Development Program launched a bread subsidy project in six provinces, reducing the price of a loaf from 4,000 to 2,400 Syrian pounds, with plans to expand the initiative nationwide.

This contradicting image unveils the deepening inequality in household spending shaped by post-regime changes. From rising unemployment on the one hand - now exceeding 50% due to the mass dismissals from military and security apparatuses, and civil institutions - to gains in the exchange rate and growing remittances from abroad on the other.

Earlier this year, prices dropped, but the relief was short-lived as structural problems persisted. Many public and private employees face delayed or suspended salaries due to new banking restrictions. Thousands have been placed on unpaid leave under the guise of “downsizing,” with health insurance programs suspended

...

Wage earners, who represent 62.5% of the country’s workforce, are among the most affected. Public sector employees, nearly half of that group, are hit the hardest. **The SCPR reported that public salaries fail to meet even the most basic needs across all regions. In former regime-controlled areas, salaries now cover only 5.6% of basic expenses.

One of the shitcoin companies (Coinbase) is now using the depressing state of the UK in their advertising.

Not sure what angle they're going for here? "The UK is shit and it's only going to get worse, get bitcoin before the collapse" ? Something like that? Who knows.

It is a very clear indicator of the state of consciousness of living conditions in the country though. I think the video is a bit shit in place, more of a caricature written by yanks than british particularly with the drab 70s thatcher interior deco or the piss coloured smoke stained walls but it's interesting that even marketing is now tapping into the consciousness of this stuff that has been created in the population.

The piles of rubbish in the streets in reference to the bin strikes pisses me off a little. At least our workers are fighting for their rights, fuck off back to america.

Regular people: let's take the kids somewhere fun for the day and do some enriching activities

israeli settlers: let's take our kids out to go attack aid trucks bringing food to people being starved and bombed.

This isnt the first video I have seen where the settlers have clearly brought their young children...

It turns out that at least one of the two Ohio Class ballistic missile submarines (with each submarine equipped with a minimum of 80 nuclear warheads) mentioned in US President Donald Trump's truth social post is in fact a new deployment, the submarine was not currently on patrol as previously assumed.

An Ohio Class ballistic missile submarine was spotted on a weather camera livestream, transiting out of the Hood Canal on 1st August 2025. It was accompanied by an aircraft patrol.

So yes, the USA is deploying at least one additional Ohio Class SSBN to patrol with Russia in mind, that was not previously on patrol.

Full Statement from Hamas' Abu Obeida:

“The Qassam Brigades are ready to deal positively and respond to any request from the Red Cross to bring food and medicine to enemy captives.

We stipulate for this acceptance the natural and permanent opening of humanitarian corridors for the passage of food and medicine for all our people in all areas of the Gaza Strip, and the cessation of all forms of enemy aerial sorties during the times of receiving parcels for the captives.

Al-Qassam Brigades do not intentionally starve the captives. They eat what our fighters and all our people eat, and they will not receive any special privilege in light of the crime of starvation and siege.”

Shit or get off the pot, Satanyahu. Dragging the war on forever isn't going to happen with the hostages starving to death, they are the last bit of leverage Hamas should have now. At this point they might as well go Hannibal Directive, but they don't. This is making me think people like Hersh saying Satanyahu is dragging the war on for political expediency are correct.

The Russian Tsars did a great deal that was bad. They robbed and enslaved the people. They waged wars and seized territories in the interests of landowners. But they did one thing that was good – they amassed an enormous state, all the way to Kamchatka. We have inherited that state. And, for the first time, we, the Bolsheviks, have consolidated and strengthened that state as a united and indivisible state, not in the interests of the landowners and the capitalists, but for the benefit of the workers, of all the peoples that make up that state. We have united the state in such a way that if any part were isolated from the common socialist state, it would not only inflict harm on the latter but would be unable to exist independently and would inevitably fall under foreign subjugation.
