In the great news from #Brazil, don't sleep on this Reuters investigation which found that Darren Beattie, a racist activist who was fired during the first Trump administration but now works at the State Dept, directly worked to harm Brazil in the hopes that doing so would help fascist candidate Flavio Bolsonaro.
Beattie and another top staffer met with Eduardo Bolsonaro privately to plot strategy. Soon came a 50% tariff on Brazilian goods. Total election interference. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/inside-trump-administration-campaign-return-brazils-bolsonaro-clan-power-2026-10-24/

@mattsheffield@mastodon.social America interfering in elections? This can't be, right... 🙃

@mattsheffield@mastodon.social Well, good thing that it did not work out. Remember Vance in Hungary? The people will not take these US interferences lightly. This needs investigation.
