Day 88 - Fascism

Protests in São Paulo yesterday: two of the country's biggest football teams - eternal enemies - came together to march against fascism. Then they came across a pro-Bolsonaro rally… wielding Brazilian and Neonazi flags from the Ukraine!

Tear gas, arrests.

Later, Bolsonaro made a speech and used a phrase popularised by Mussolini (which, funnily enough, Trump also used not too long ago.)

Meanwhile, Trump, in his White House bunker, all lights out, surrounded by angry protesters, tweets FAKE NEWS!

And here I am, in the mountains, a friend to fauna, asking myself: what can I do? What can I do?

It’s all so terrifying. Just really hard to see where all this will ever end.

I keep anchoring myself with what you and CJ are already doing - taking care of each day, one step at a time... trying not to think too much about the future right now.

Thanks my dear - lots of love to you too. Hope the situation with the school has sorted itself out.
