Trump was correct! The US is the destination of criminals dunking from the Brazilian courts and police.

The criminals Eduardo Bolsonaro, Flávio Bolsonaro, Allan dos Santos, Alexandre Ramagem, Willer Tomas, and other, are all in the United States committing their crimes there.

Follows the first image of Flávio Bolsonaro governing from the Asylum.

Fala pessoal, I’m an American living in Brazil for three years now. What I’ve noticed is the crazy amount of evangelical church ratios to schools and libraries. There will be a small interior city with 120 churches of the same denomination and 30 public schools & 1 library (these are real statistics I did not make this up) why do we let the communities grow rapidly in churches & not in education ?? This is crazy to me. I think there should be a limit on churches per city of the same religion. I’m thinking of writing a letter to a mayor around where I live but who knows if he’ll even care. And I don’t even know where to even begin lol. If you agree with me how should I approach it ?
And I don’t care for the people who say gringos should not get involved in other countries politics. Our presidents will mix our politics anyways at the end of the day 🥴

Halfway through a televised debate on Friday evening that was his last chance to turn around his final election, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was starting to look his age. Brazil’s 80-year-old president was confused at times by the format and irritated at the self-confidence of his much younger rival, Flávio Bolsonaro.⁠
⁠
But then the 45-year-old senator called Lula 'nine-fingers', a crude joke sometimes made in rightwing circles in Brazil about the digit lost in a metalworking factory accident in São Paulo when Lula was still a teenager.⁠
⁠
Lula, who will be 81 on Tuesday, took centre stage and looked directly at the camera. 'I was a minor and working at night, because either I worked or I did not eat,' he said, a stark reminder of the president’s humble origins in one of the world’s most unequal countries. 'I will not accept a posh guy calling me nine-fingers.'⁠
⁠
It is impossible to know whether that exchange, which ricocheted around the internet over the weekend, helped shift Brazil’s election. But opinion polls taken before Friday’s debate gave Bolsonaro an average lead of 2 percentage points. Lula won on Sunday by 3.5 percentage points.⁠

Congratulations on Lula’s incredible comeback! Watching him turn things around and win again, especially against a political movement so closely aligned with Trump, is genuinely inspiring.

As someone from Morocco who fell in love with your country when I visited, I’m so happy to see Brazilians stand up for what they believe in. You remind the world that political comebacks are possible and that people still have the power to shape their country’s future.

Sending love from Morocco! You guys are such an inspiration 💚💚

It’s been over 24 hours since Lula’s victory and Bolsonaro’s defeat. What’s the mood like where you are? How are your family, friends, and colleagues reacting, and what have people been saying?

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Lula has just gone favourite with the betting markets to win. What is the feeling on the ground?

Here in Canada, Brazilians are coming from everywhere to the capitals with a Consulate to vote. Some of my friends drove 10h to Vancouver, and brought friends with them who didn’t vote on the 1st round to make sure they vote now! Everyone is afraid of another Bolsonaro government!

How is it happening in Brazil?

All 85 Brazil betting licences issued at federal level expire on 25 October, 30 days after Provisional Measure (MP) 1.394/2026 banned fixed-odds betting nationwide. Each licence cost R$30m, or R$2.55bn in total, and the MP rules out any refund or compensation. The iGaming Europe article breaks down how operators now depend on a pending Supreme Court (STF) ruling and a Congress review that has not started.

Basically a project that stablished that marriage is only between man and woman. EDIT: It seems i have to make it even more obvious i´m talking about when they tried to pass this 3 years ago NOT IN 2009, IN 2023

For the moment being it is not a law just the project of one. In order for it to be effective it has to be approved in the Camara dos deputados (who yall voted in the right...) and the Senate (who, again yall voted to be majorly right wing...) And being sanctioned by the President...

Twelve deputy have voted in favor of the proibition of gay marriage that being:

André Ferreira- PL (Bolsonaro´s party)
Chris Tonietto-PL-RJ
Clarissa Tércio- PP
cRISTIANE lOPES- União Brasil
Dr Jaziel- Pl
Filipe Martins- Pl

Eli Borges- PL
Messias Donato- Republicanos
Pastor Donato

Pastor Isidório- Avante -BA
Priscila Costa- PL-CE
Rogéria Santos- Republicanos- BA

Oh and the ones who recognized gay marriage? STF. Guess who will indicate new people for the STF. Yes, Flavio

Vote counsciously. And remember this

Edit: Some people did not do reasearch properly and think this was an old project. They tried this again in 2023. Three years ago.

Meta is interfering in Brazil's elections and harming President Lula. We have only a few days to change that. Together, let's demand explanations, redress and justice. Meta cannot be the invisible judge of Brazil's electoral process.

A follow up and thank you regarding my previous post about a month ago: Luis Fernando Verissimo and similar authors: seeking book recommendations

I found this at a very corporate/chain type of bookstore in a shopping mall. I think it's exactly what I was looking for. I believe they had 3 or 4 books, but they seemed pretty minimal compared to this beast (700 pages). What I love about this book is what I learned in the index (2nd photo): There is a comprehensive list of the books published and crônicas in this book, and it seems that some stories have not been republished in a book since the original newspaper/magazine, while I can also see that a number of them are repeated across several anthologies (nothing against that practice, but I don't typically have the need to buy the redundant portion).
