Ex-president to start serving term in 12 sq metre bedroom in police base in Brasília after time for appeals elapses
Brazil’s former president, Jair Bolsonaro, has been ordered to start serving his 27-year sentence in a 12 sq metre bedroom in a police base in the capital, Brasília, after his conviction for plotting a coup.
The far-right populist, who governed Latin America’s largest democracy from 2019 until 2022, was handed the punishment in September after the supreme court found him guilty of leading a criminal conspiracy to stop his leftwing rival, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, taking power. Continue reading...

Stiff competition but Vance is probably the worst fascist goblin in the WH rn.
Smarter than opportunistic idiots like Witkoff and more ideological and actively evil than Trump.
And he wraps all his smug viciousness in this faux ”well now good sir” civility that’s sooo hateable.

I think it’s worth saying that assuming a ceasefire in place is reached in Ukraine—like with Israel and HAMAS in Gaza—it’ll merely be a temporary suspension in fighting that doesn’t resolve core tensions that created the conflict.
Russia isn’t going to stop wanting to erase Ukrainian sovereignty.

I find a lot of Labour and SocDem contributions on Mercosur kind of annoying, because they’ll rightly question environmental standards and deforestation in Brazil, but then turn around and downplay / ignore domestic deforestation and beef farming status quo (the largest source of Irish emissions!!).

Yeah it’s either hard US security guarantees real enough for Ukraine to trust them (would take way more than trust me bro, boots on the ground or close to it), or yet another token promise which Ukraine / Europe will obviously reject.
One reason (of several) I'm sceptical of the Witkoff deal is that it's apparently contingent on independent US security guarantees and that's such a colossal reversal of US policy that I struggle to see how it survives contact with political reality.

Every year I get more woke and also have less energy to argue about politics in the real world. I care about a lot of stuff and I'll go to the odd protest and all that but if I'm at a Christmas party and someone says British rule actually benefitted Ireland a lot I'm like "wow that's fascinating".

Poll after poll shows Irish people support neutrality and that's unlikely to change anytime soon. I'm increasingly "neutral" on the debate myself!
But do the authors here also think it's wrong for us to "deride" defence spending or NATO membership if it "matters" to some of our European neighbours?

There are good ideas about how to improve EU democracy but this is always a weak argument imo when most European countries have powerful prime ministers that aren’t directly elected either.
