If true, Flávio Bolsanaro made it to the US without a passport — it was confiscated given his crimes in Brazil. Flávio is not a dual citizen, thus would be in the US without status. As we’ve always said: US immigration rhetoric + violence is simply racist and pro-fascist:
Brazilian senator Flávio Bolsonaro has left Brazil and is headed to the United States after losing Sunday's presidential election, two sources have confirmed to CNN. cnn.it/4BuRZsW

यह देखिए, लूट मची है। आदरणीय वित्त मंत्री जी @nsitharaman , आपके एक गुरुजी का मैने पिछले दिनों इंटरव्यू किया था वो आपको औसत छात्र बता रहे थे। लेकिन मेरा अनुभव कह रहा है आप लिख लोढ़ा पत्थर हैं।
स्टैट बैंक ऑफ इंडिया ने तय किया है कि अगर आप 30 हजार रुपयों से ज्यादा महीने में यात्रा पर खर्च करेंगे तो वो आपसे 1 फीसदी टैक्स अतिरिक्त लेंगे।
अगर आपने ईंधन पर खर्चा 50 हजार से ज्यादा किया तो भी आपको 1 फीसदी एक्स्ट्रा चार्ज देना होगा। जो चार्ज पहले से लग रहे थे वो तो लगेंगे ही।
@SBICard_Connect मुझे क्योंकर आपका कार्ड बंद कर देना चाहिए? लूट मची है। सार्वजनिक क्षेत्र के बैंक हो कि लुटेरे हो? अडानी अंबानी को लोन दोगे वसूल करोगे हमसे।

Bengaluru has lost more than 43 lakh names from its electoral roll in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), with its electorate shrinking from 1.03 crore to just 59.08 lakh. The city, which accounted for the highest number of deletions in Karnataka during the draft stage, was also disproportionately affected during the subsequent notice and hearing process, with nearly half of all notices issued across the State concentrated here.

📺 “We reported events one-sidedly for years”: Serbian TV apologizes to viewers after Vučić's party loses the election
Radio Television of Vojvodina (RTV) opened its news broadcast with footage of celebrations following the Student List's election victory — scenes it had failed to show the previous evening.
“For years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly, and failed to ask the necessary questions. For that, we owe our viewers an apology,” news anchor Goran Eror said.
Following the controversy, RTV's acting editor-in-chief Nenad Čačić resigned.
A similar incident occurred in Hungary, where state television also apologized to viewers after Viktor Orbán's election defeat.
🎉🎉 Serbia celebrates Vučić's defeat all night — now he's warning the country about sanctions against Russia
After 14 years of Aleksandar Vučić's political dominance, his bloc has lost the snap parliamentary elections. The opposition Student List, which emerged from mass anti-government protests, has claimed victory.
According to preliminary figures from Ipsos and CeSID, the students secured around 53% of the vote, while Vučić's coalition received approximately 39%.
The former president acknowledged defeat. He estimated that the winners could secure 135–140 seats in Serbia's 250-member parliament.
But he couldn't resist issuing a warning about Russia. Vučić claimed the new government could impose sanctions on Moscow as early as March or April.
Meanwhile, Belgrade and other Serbian cities celebrated the student movement's victory throughout the night, with car horns, singing, and crowds cheering in the streets.
Final election results are still pending.

Instagram removes the reel posted on LiveLaw's official page about the ECI's affidavit in the #SupremeCourt.
The reel, which was only an explanation of the ECI's version, was removed by Instagram saying, "We received a legal request to restrict this content".
There is no explanation how the reel (instagram.com/reel/De_dnDnOW…) violated any law.

हर जगह यही काम है। बेसिक कैरेक्टर हो गया है।
🚨SHOCKING - FIR against Malabar:
A man walked into a Malabar Gold showroom in Bilaspur with a simple request: exchange his old 22-carat HUID-hallmarked bracelet.
The staff ran it through their XRF machine. Once. Twice. Three times.
Every reading came back the same: 20 carat.
They even told him the hallmark didn’t exist.
He called the local jeweller who had sold him the bracelet. The jeweller walked in, confirmed the HUID, and asked them to test it again.
Same machine. Same bracelet. Same room.
This time an employee adjusted something on the machine. Suddenly the reading flipped to 916 - pure 22 carat.
The jeweller recorded everything. The Sarafa Association arrived. Police registered an FIR against the showroom manager and the machine operator. The machine and DVR were seized.
This wasn’t a small local shop. This was Malabar Gold “the chain that advertises trust, purity, and BIS standards across India”.
One bracelet. Two readings. An 8% gap in gold value. And the only thing that changed was who was watching.
If a hallmarked piece can magically lose two carats the moment a customer wants to exchange it, and magically regain them the moment someone pushes back, what exactly is the machine testing?
Customers don’t walk into Malabar expecting a calibration error that only appears when they’re selling gold.
They walk in expecting the purity printed on their receipt.
The FIR is real.
The readings are on record.
The machine was seized.
Malabar still hasn’t explained why the same piece of gold needed a “setting” before it became 22 carat again.
Until they do, this isn’t a machine glitch.
It’s a business model.
