Federico Finchelstein:
Bolsonaro, if re-elected, could turn his attacks on Brazilian democracy into a kind of full-fledged fascist mode. I see Bolsonaro as a wannabe fascist. He's a person that, although previously democratically elected, wants to destroy democracy from within. He follows the Trump playbook. He has been defined by Trump as the Trump of the Tropics. During January 6, he said they would have done it better. They would just occupy the Capitol in a better way, a more professional way, a more violent way.

Don't miss this critical discussion led by Merle Hoffman and Sunsara Taylor, both initiators of Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights. We are at a crossroads. The loss of our constitutional right to abortion is shattering lives and stunting women's and girls' futures in state after state. And yet we're told that voting in November is the only or "most practical" way to stop it. Join us Saturday to look deeply into why that is not true and what we can do, together and growing, to stop this Christian fascist assault.
