"Dangerous Turn Ahead". In 2013, the streets of Brazil were taken by popular movements against a bus fare rise. Soon, those protests were appropriated by right wing groups that used social media to convert the protests' original purpose into a vague fight against corruption, which lead to soft coup; the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff, in 2016.

"Don't be a Statistic in the Ratings". TV Globo and all the hegemonic Brazilian mainstream media (owned by six families) played a crucial role in the coup. Its coverage, including news broadcasts, exhaustively covered the right-wing protests, which persuaded people to go to the streets to selectively fight against corruption by demanding the president's impeachment.

Alt-right groups were financed by Brazilian and foreign large organizations to spread fake news and criminalize social movements and their leaders. It was so efficient that many people still don't know that Rousseff was never accused of corruption or impeached for that reason. Her government was accused of having supposedly misled federal budgets to create economic stability. Fake news targeted PT (Worker's Party), particularly Lula.

"The Angry Right". During the alt-right social media takeover, there was an increase of fascism, hatred towards social movements, minorities and programs aimed to reduce hunger and inequality implemented by the Workers' Party, under Lula’s government.

"Fancy Pot Slammers". The middle-class bought into the alt-right narrative of cutting social benefits to the poorest. Through social media, the rich organized protests where they would go to their apartments' "gourmet terraces" to slam pans to "end corruption". Implicit in their messages were racism, misogyny and homophobia. Prejudice seemed to have flooded the Brazilian society.

"Wait, Dad. It's me!". After the coup, the vice president Michel Temer, aligned with the far-right, took over the executive power. Right away, under his lead, the congress approved an amendment that froze investments in education and health for the next 20 years. As a response, students occupied public schools countrywide. They were intimidated by the police.

"The Turnstile Mayor". The far-right agenda was enhanced after the coup. One example is the former mayor of Sao Paulo, the 'businessman' Joao Doria, who presented numerous projects to privatize public properties such as parks.

"Sentiment". The soft coup and lawfare led to the criminalization of politics, implying that all politicians are corrupt and that businessmen can more efficiently govern a society. There was sadness and a perception of endless corruption.

"Brazil is a Cheap Steak". Brazil's treasures are being sliced up. The coup rushed the far-right agenda and, without consulting the population, it started an illegal and massive privatization 'give away ' of companies such as Petrobrás (including its pre-salt offshore oil reserves) and the aerospace giant Embraer.

# data[].attributes.body
"Workers' Party Concentration Camp". The lawfare, along with fake news, targeted leaders of PT (the Worker's Party), particularly Lula. Many other politicians formally accused of corruption (from PSDB and other right-wing parties) were protected by the judiciary.

# data[].attributes.body
"Targeted Intimidation". People started to protest against Michel Temer, the vice who became president and who rapidly implemented an agenda of the elite; powerful international organizations. Unlike the white-collar protesters in favor of Rousseff's impeachment, social movements and people against Temer faced intimidation and police brutality.

"Political Pressure Cooker". 60% of the members of Senate who voted in favor of Rousseff's impeachment were responding to accusations of corruption. It included, Eduardo Cunha, then president of the Chamber of Deputies, who led the impeachment campaign and who is currently in jail for serious charges of corruption.

"The Presidential Sash". The president role has become a guillotine. Through a soft coup, the richest removed from power the first woman president ever elected. Later, people started to realize the real intentions behind that fact and wanted Temer to resign.

"Truckers' Strike I". The servile and pro-imperialist government of Michel Temer gave away Petrobrás and the control of fuel pricing to international organizations. From a country that developed its own technology and became energy self-sufficient, Brazil went back in time and had to export oil to buy fuel for high prices.

# data[].attributes.body
"Truckers' Strike II". On May 21st, as a response to the fuel price rise, a truckers' strike blocked the roads and paralyzed the country for 10 days. People wanted Michel Temer and Pedro Parente, the president of Petrobrás, to resign. Parente left but Temer stayed.

"Justice is Coming to Get You". As the crisis progressed, society questioned the lack of investigation on corruption scandals involving the right-wing parties. Then, some members of the government, such as Temer and the senator Aécio Neves - who had lost the presidencial race to Roussef - were wiretapped negotiating bribes. They remained in power, investigations did not continue and other charges were dropped.

"Media in the Gallows". TV Globo, the largest media conglomerate in Brazil, officially supported the 1964 coup d'état/ military dictatorship. They exhaustively covered Lula's case as a soap opera and were later confronted with boycotts and protests because of its biased political framing.

"Resist". When the government is more powerful than the people, when democracy is threatened by lawfare, inequality and intimidation, the resistance could be interpreted as a matter of faith.

"The World is Watching". The Brazilian political scenario became tense, democracy was in danger because of a controversial impeachment and as a consequence of an evident process of lawfare that only enhanced the crisis.

"Violent Elections" - It was predictable that elections would be harmed. In 2018,  the overthrow of democracy could no longer be denied when the UN Human Rights Committee demanded the Brazilian government to respect Lula's political rights, including freedom of expression and access to the press. As a political prisoner and even under illegal censorship, Lula became an incarcerated front-runner presidential candidate.

"The Carnival Just Started". Michel Temer announced a military intervention in Rio during the carnival. His excuse was the city violence, although the numbers didn't justify such extreme and dangerous intervention. Temer, who had the least approval that a president has ever had (3%), wanted to change public perception in his favor and try to run for president.

American organizations aligned with the conservative, alt-right politics influenced the course of the coup. The US Assistant Attorney, General Kenneth Blanco talked about constant informal communication between the Department of Justice and Sergio Moro's Lava Jato (Operation Car Wash), which convicted Lula based on unproven charges.

"Hey, President. We have no Gas for the Intervention". The truckers' strike, motivated by the rise of the gas prices, stopped the country and represented a joke against the federal government; which could have had trouble putting gas in the tanks, since the roads were blocked.

"Cocaine: The Waterfront is the Main Side of the Trafficking". Just as the regular police, the military intervention targeted poor communities, such as the favelas, to combat the trafficking. The police was after the Black and the poor who are marginalized; the victims of mass incarceration, while consumers and big dealers can enjoy their booze from a waterfront apartment.

"There is Stray Bullet and Destined Bullet". On March 14, the city councilwoman Marielle Franco was shot in the street when leaving a meeting in Rio. She had fought for marginalized communities, equality and Human Rights, particularly for Black, women and for the poor. Marielle was in charge of a committee that investigated the abuses of the police participating with the military intervention. From the beginning her assassination was seen as politically motivated, but the investigation still didn't solve the crime.

"Did Rio Degenerate?". As expected, the intervention increased violence and killed more poor people. There were 895 deaths in the first seven months of 2018. It represents a 279% increase in the past 5 years.

"Christ's Blood". More then ever, during the intervention, people from the favelas have their most basic rights disrespected. Humiliation and police brutality are rampant. Houses are searched without need for a warrant, children live in an environment surrounded by war weapons, tanks and shootings.

"Prescription Justice - Controlled Substance". The Lawfare that persecuted Lula and other progressive political leaders started from the lower court and showed to have strong influence on members of the higher courts.

“Housing Benefit -Judges are People Just Like Us". The privileges and benefits  given to judges contrast with the life of the majority of people in Brazil.The judges create perks for themselves such as "housing benefit" (average costs are $300mi/year), even to the ones who have their own houses. In the middle of a serious crisis caused by the coup, the justices recently voted in favor of a 16% raise, while the country has over 14 million unemployed.

"Slowness". Judge Sergio Moro, who convicted Lula, could be considered an example of the selective judiciary that rushes specific cases and delays others, conveniently serving the ongoing political persecution.

"Justice to some...but to others..." Shocking wiretapping content involving bribing, death threats and images of bags of money being carried were not enough to send the president and a senator do jail. For some, justice is done before the investigation has even started.

"Justice on the Hanger". Judicial and political powers appear to be more tied than ever. The Constitution was subjected to an ideology and neoliberal concepts that fit the wealth. No rule of law, no democracy.

"Eduardo Cunha is Going to Keep Shooting Until he Falls". Eduardo Cunha, head of the lower house of the congress, orchestrated Dilma's impeachment. Surprisingly, as member of the rightwing, he was later jailed for corruption, currency evasion and money laundering from bribing related to Petrobras. After helping to depose Dilma, Cunha was considered a scapegoat. The people were questioning the impunity and he had to be sacrificed by the reactionaries.
