In Brazil the democracy of the STF/TSE establishes the end of imprisonment in the second instance, privileging friendly bandits, and PRIOR CENSORSHIP to the people. Don't agree with that? Join us on the streets in calling for freedom of expression and respect for the constitution

Crypto... something you mine by wasting much needed electricity and is popular with dangerous thugs and murderers like Kim Jong Un is not a legitimate currency. There is no economic faith and trust behind it.

Wow. Look 👀? Common sense.
