Looks like these same cops who adore the fascist demonstrators really intend to get ugly with progressive Brazilians if they get the chance.

More power to the decent people of Brazil.

Had no idea this is the 5th consecutive night. It's wonderful to learn.

Thank you for putting up the names of the towns. How great it is to know this is going on all over the country.

Stay safe!

Also read, in Wikipedia:

Newsweek placed Florianópolis in the "Ten most dynamic cities of the world" list in 2006.

Hope this city and the others can make a stand against the fascists who just stole the government.

The third one I just saw shows Fidel Castro in New York, surrounded by children during
the days before the U.S. decided he wasn't going to be their puppet & turned against him. [/center]
