International friends: can I just share with you HOW RELIEVED we are here in Brazil that TODAY they have captured Marielle Franco's assassins. Living six years with this case unanswered has been excruciating. Marielle was a monumentous political force, a seed sprouting, just at the very start of her journey, when she was taken from us.

One more amazing human who gave her life for our common journey. And now we have an answer and can breathe again! One of those jailed was the then-head of the police's homicide unit, who guaranteed the cover-up!

Also: it turns out that they targeted her precisely because she was getting in the way of vigilante militia housing developments and wanting to ensure access to housing for all: oglobo.globo.com/rio/noticia…

Long overdue: Brazil's stats & geography institute is discontinuing the term "subnormal agglomerate" -- in use for decades -- to describe favelas and other urban communities. New term will be established next year. rioonwatch.org.br/?p=70857

Seldom have I seen racists so confident and outspoken. As mainstream conservatism fails to address our crises, and seeks to disguise its failure by diverting our attention to culture wars and scapegoats, it has opened up the game to fascists and white supremacists.

O corte de verba na educação faz parte do projeto político de eliminar a possibilidade de ascensão do povo pobre por meio dos estudos. É a cultura da miserabilidade, da escassez para a manutenção do poder!

More fires burned in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest this August than in any month in nearly five years, thanks to a surge in illegal deforestation.

Spend a few days in Southern California and it's obvious why this place pioneered the "health" food / gym rat culture that has gone global. It is sunny outside but literally 0 exercise happens organically in your daily life. You may have to walk across a big parking lot

Brazil’s military hasn't been this powerful in decades. And yet they can’t do the basic job of monitoring the country’s borders and airspace. The result is rampant criminal activity that is endangering lives and destroying the Amazon.

How extensive is deforestation in Amazonia, one of the most important places on the planet for people & wildlife? According to this map from @mapbiomas, the region has faced an onslaught of illegal deforestation at the hands of extractive industry over the last 3 years.
