I am tweeting this with VPN.
This tweet may cost me almost 10,000 USD according to the decision of tyrant @alexandre de Moraes, friends with @LulaOficial : every Brazilian that post on X from now on will be fined R$ 50,000 according to his illegal “ruling”.
My dignity is worth much more than that. Actually, it is priceless. I will keep tweeting regardless of State persecution or threats because I believe in freedom of expression, democracy and real Justice.
Brazilians will take to the streets. On the 7th of September we will make our voices heard very clearly. We will demand Moraes to be impeached by the Senate and to be sent to jail after a fair trial – which Moraes cruelly and unconstitutionally gives not to the people that he persecutes.
Thank you @elonmusk for standing with us. Your attitudes against censorship and authoritarianism are giving us hope and strengthening our cause for freedom in Brazil!”
Musk, in his comment, after quoting @marcelvanhattem, said: “The current Brazilian administration likes to wear the cloak of a free democracy, while crushing the people under its boot.”
