NEVER FORGET THE POWER OF POPULAR MOBILIZATION. WHAT SAVES DEMOCRACY IS PEOPLE ON THE STREETS. ✊🏻!!!
I hope Brazilians celebrate by deleting their Facebook accounts.
As others have pointed out, there could be an influx of newcomers to the #Fediverse from #Brazil who are tired of #Meta 's latest shenanigans while meddling with politics.
If you see them, be friendly and welcoming, and under no circumstances start with "You are using the Fediverse wrong!"
I mean it. We have a serious "Reply Guy" problem around here, and we've already lost our big chance with Black Twitter. Let's not screw _this_ opportunity up, okay?

i want people to give the government of #Brazil their flowers for their brawl with Microsoft back in 2005.
they predicted exactly this mess with the #ICC. they didn't even talk about “digital” #sovereignty. they went to the heart of the matter: dependency on foreign companies to run their government was a threat to their political sovereignty and national security.
that whole #Brasil vs #Microsoft radicalized me as a #FLOSS user and advocate.
Celebrate Lula's win by telling Mark Zuckerberg to fuck off. #Brazil

"It's very important for leftists in the U.S. to understand that this woman, Erika Hilton, was key to Lula's success in the second round of Brazil's presidential elections yesterday.
Hilton, a Black trans woman who became the most voted for congresswoman in Brazil's history this month, was the driving force behind the historic constitutional amendment to end the six-day work week that came into force with Lula's support on Oct. 15.
This historic victory of the Brazilian working class -- and Bolsanaro's opposition to it -- drove voter turnout in Lula's favor in the second round more than any other factor.
If you are celebrating Lula's reelection, or just feel relieved that the fascists didn't recapture Brazil, then you should also recognize the role of trans people in the socialist and working class movements, and act accordingly."

"Scenario 3, a catastrophe: Flávio Bolsonaro wins and secures a majority in Congress
If this happens, we will experience something similar to the Jair Bolsonaro administration (2019-2022) but in a much worse context domestically, given the Supreme Court’s internal fragility, and, at a global level, heavily influenced by the administration of Donald Trump, who seeks to turn Latin America into his playground.
Flávio Bolsonaro has already demonstrated that if elected, he will accept Trump’s tutelage. Bolsonaro junior would consequently be in a much more favorable position than his father to finish destroying democracy.
There is only one way for Brazil to remain a democracy, however imperfect: by reelecting Lula and voting in a more progressive Congress."

"Even with the reelection of president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (Workers’ Party), most of the caucuses of right and far-right deputies, like the ruralist caucus, will likely press for bills to unravel the demarcation of Indigenous Territories, reduce the size of conservation units, or keep remote embargoes on illegally deforested properties from being written into law before 2026 ends.
It is a taste of what Congress has in store after February 2027, when the deputies and senators elected on October 4 will take office. In the Chamber of Deputies and especially in the Senate, the far right edged out members of the Centrão coalition, and Flávio Bolsonaro’s Liberal Party will now have the largest caucuses in the two legislative bodies."
