Brasil setting the example. Love. Kindness. Solidarity will prevail. Si se pudo!

Don’t engage. Don’t give them a platform

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who spared a thought for my country today, who amplified information about the coup d’état attempt, and worried about Brazil’s democratic future—the world’s democratic future. We won! Women won! The Amazon won! Young people won! Democracy won! Hope won!

Now let’s learn from Brazil. The Right sabotaged the elections, interfered with transportation, used AI to makeup shit. They still lost. People power. Power to the people. #brasil

There is a Goddess. Obrigada!!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

These men love the fascists

Also most humanities programas are not admitting students every cycle or admitting a very reduced number of students. Dissertation fellowships are disspearing.

Culturally, we're talking about an institution where until 2015, academics were still drinking from a cup made from a skull that was rumoured to belong to an enslaved Caribbean woman.

Another police attack on peaceful protests. This time in the city of O Porto in Portugal. Europe is on fire and protesters are not backing down.

I recycle. I compost. I don’t use much plastic. But what’s the point?

El taxista catalán Youssef Abraoui es uno de los jóvenes acusados falsamente por la extrema derecha de matar a una anciana en Burgos: "Lo han hecho para crear odio y porque el mes que viene hay elecciones". Así actúa la ultraderecha.

There was no violent protests in France until a police blew up a boy’s hand. Let this be very clear. These protests only turn violent after the police gets involved. There were no violent encampment until police brought violence to campus. I’m so tired of this narrative. Basta

Europe is on fire. Students in the street. Now people are calling them violet. It’s really something how people understand violence according to the interest. I think the state is violent. Our president is violent. Our institutions are violent. Students are not.

I can live with ignorant. Ignorant means they just don’t know better. But this is cruelty. A regime of cruelty.

These MAGAS wouldn’t recognize Jesus and would call for his destruction. This is not about religion nor faith.

Protests in Lisbon for fair housing.
