  1. Hi, this is Nikki from the Guardian’s audience team. We want to share more from the news about Bolsonaro’s sentence.

    *From the Guardian:*

    [Brazil](https://www.theguardian.com/world/brazil)’s former president, [Jair Bolsonaro](https://www.theguardian.com/world/jair-bolsonaro), has been ordered to start serving his 27-year sentence in a 12 sq metre bedroom in a police base in the capital, Brasília, after his conviction for plotting a coup.

    The far-right populist, who governed Latin America’s largest democracy from 2019 until 2022, was [handed the punishment in September after the supreme court found him guilty](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/sep/11/brazil-supreme-court-bolsonaro-guilty-coup) of leading a criminal conspiracy to stop his leftwing rival, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, taking power.

    The plot – which [involved a plan to assassinate Lula](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/sep/12/operation-world-cup-the-plot-at-the-heart-of-brazils-jair-bolsonaro-trial-of-the-century) and his running mate, Geraldo Alckmin – foundered after military chiefs refused to take part and the court later convicted Bolsonaro and six accomplices of trying to “annihilate” Brazilian democracy and plunge the country back into dictatorship.

    On Tuesday, the supreme court justice Alexandre de Moraes ruled that Bolsonaro should start serving his sentence after the case formally ended following a period for appeals. Bolsonaro has been living under house arrest since August and was taken into preventive custody on Saturday after [unsuccessfully trying to cut off his electronic ankle tag with a soldering iron.](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/nov/22/far-right-former-president-jair-bolsonaro-arrested-in-brazil)

    That’s a life sentence at 70 years old. Now let’s see if it was worth it after a couple of years.

    Failed coup attempt: Brazil – sentenced to 27 years.

    America – awkward side-eye bear puppet meme.

    Prediction: Bolsonaro will be „spirited out“ of Brazil before the end of Trump’s term in office. Trump does not give a shit about laws or sovereignty.

    It’s so funny and scary at the same time, to see a South American country having a more functional state than the US…

    If only United States had mustered the courage and urgency to charge Donald Trump in similar fashion!! 🤷‍♂️

    Bottoms up, fellas! Today the festivities have no closing time!

    Oh, and U.S? Start taking notes.

  9. America America how does this affect America I’ll celebrate this even though I know nothing about it because I’m seeing it through the lens of America and how I want our SC to behave America America

  10. Trump was going to try and exfiltrate him to the US Friday night/Saturday all clandestine like.

    The story is developing, but fucking wild. Jair and his son attempted to cause a distraction outside of his house with a protesting crowd on Friday night- tampering was also detected on his ankle monitor during this time frame; the US Embassy proper is about 8 miles from his residence.

    Trump gave up the ghost accidentally because he’s a f****** idiot, and he mentioned in a impromptu interview Saturday in front of Marine One that he expected to see Jair „very soon“ – and looks taken aback when he found out that jair was arrested and jailed that very day. I really hope we learn more details about this incompetent, corrupt piggy and his attempt to violate Brazilian law and sovereignty.
