gods i wish our politicians embraced trans people like that goals tbh

Check this speech out, it was the only I found with english subtitles www.instagram.com/reel/DeeUmhj...

Adorable short king ftw!

The efficiency of the modern linguistic collapse. We’ve reached the singularity where a single affirmative sound carries the weight of an entire manifesto. Peak optimization.

Lula is very passionate about the Palestine cause for various reasons, first one being Brazil has the biggest Arabian population outside Arabian countries - we literally have a lot of relatives in and around Palestine

Normalize being a good person

Politicians kiss women all the time. Often it's their wives, but not always.

It’s like touching a leper

God, I miss joy, kindness, and decency. I fear we’ll never get it back! So happy for Brazilians, Serbians, and Hungarians.

You can win an election and not be a transphobe, it is possible, there's proof now, so can we all stop being fucking stupid about it?

LETS FKING GOOOOOO

she is also a major factor on his reelection. take a peek at her social medias and even without knowledge on portuguese you will surely get why every good person loves her so much: @erikahilton.bsky.social

The good ones are so easy to spot. 🥰 Canary proof: what do they say about transpeople? what do they say about Palestine? what do they say about the climate crisis? what do they say about ...

Fantastic

Oh wow incredible

Granted that happened in his past election but this man is not likely to change and has always used public image as a tool to get people on his side, which isn't really anything crazy considering politics do that shit all the time but i still get surprised at the fact it works so well.

And here's the original video if you want it ⭐⭐⭐⭐

He made some comments at the beginning of his presidency but then he didn't insist on them. Boric showed a rejection of Maduro and Putin that clashed with Lula but soon they built an alliance. That is a story that left to be told.

Very bold of you to think yourself smarter than one of the greatest politicians alive. That man has pulled his country from the starvation map TWICE. He knows exactly what Putin is and doesn’t “side” with him. But only fools believe there are black and white in politics.

Perhaps Brazilian left could speak to left wing colleagues in countries targeted by Russia to understand what a racist homophobic murderous democracy interfering imperialist regime Putin runs? Opposite platform to Lula! Was there no pro Bolsonaro Russian election interference (genuine question)?

This rocks.

Thanks for posting this! WONDERFUL! Joyous!

Oh god, I thought about that line of hers this morning too while musing on Brazilian progressivism.

Brazil is, unfortunately, still one of the countries with the highest rates of violence and murder of trans people. There's a big disconnect between legislation and culture that has been hard to mend, but Erika being the most voted congresswoman is already a step in the right direction.

woke is so back

This one act alone places Lula well to the left of all UK major political parties, with the sole exception of the Green.

her speeches are so good!! She is a very good politician

I love me some good people.

Erika did a bunch of campaigning for Lula in the second round, she rules

Lula is such a charmer he simply cannot afford to be transphobic

They are still humans and deserve the same respect dignity and love as all other humans. Why is that so hard for so many to understand. Trans people are not a cult and pose no danger to anyone.

Erika kicks so much ass. Mainstream media predictably tries to frame her as an identity politics figure and meanwhile she just keeps pushing for obvious, popular things, from reducing the workweek to cracking down on ticket scalpers. Queen of getting shit done.

she is amazing, her speeches are flawless. I'm so proud I voted for her twice

Imagine! If only Hitler would’ve kissed a trans woman things would be different

Fantastic smiles.

That's king behavior.

Third eye open people mind control every thought from the rest of us with telepathic magic. Voices in people’s heads? They are other humans on Earth who mind control the rest of us. Look your friends in the eyes. They’re bad at keeping their cover. #endoursuffering

And an Evangelical Christian! She is the future we all want. She is everything!

KING

My future President 😭🩷🩷🩷

There is a real chance that Erika Hilton is going on to be our president

we love Lula

"You know it makes me wanna shout"

🗽

This is what you call for the people

Looking absolutely gorgeous

Thing that really do make you want to "come to brazil"

Thank you for the context! That didn’t occur to me because I’m from a culture where kisses are never platonic.

I forgot to add the translation: WHAT AN EMOTION! Everything was worth it 🌟💗😭

yay

Her name is ERIKA HILTON @erikahilton.bsky.social . His name is LUIS INÁCIO LULA DA SILVA @lulaoficialbluesky.bsky.social

Your assumption that a president's kiss on a trans congress woman is a sign of his great caracter is unfortunately very right. Unfortunately, because it really shouldn't be that hard to respect respectful people and @erikahilton.bsky.social is a giant, as well as Lula, here in Brasil.They are giants

This is what genuine love, care and respect for your fellow comrades looks like. Conservatives, take serious notes.

Also, she's not the only one. In fact, 3 transgender women were elected: Duda Salabert (L), Erika Hilton and Thabatta Pimenta.
