I am a bit worried about tomorrow.

If you are following news in my neck of the woods, Bozonaro has been getting more and more aggressive towards all those that oppose him institutionally, in particular, the Supreme Court (which has not been shy in fighting back) and to a lesser extent, the Senate.
Tomorrow is a holiday here, Independence Day. He has been calling for big events, where his supporters will say they "allow" military intervention and closing the SC. He will actually speak in 2 of them, one in Brasília and one here in São Paulo.
Of course, the opposition (mostly the left, but also many right-ish movements as well) called for a counter-event. Those will be too close to each other. Many of the Bozominions are former (and current) military and police. The sort of people that like guns.
So, yeah, I fear for violence.
Everything else constant, generally the events against him are much larger. This one has been considered his shot at survival. Who knows what he will do if his event fails. Or, if it's a success. He seems to be losing some critical support, but... This is not my short-term worry, in any case.
If I could choose, I would have landed with my family, pet and PS5 in Portugal today for a very long stay.
