Brazil’s President Lula has personally cemented his support for the project and set his cabinet to work out a deal to renew the BR-319 highway, which passes through one of the most preserved areas of the Amazon.
Scientists warn the highway will create a “fishbone effect” of illegal side roads, fueling deforestation that could push the Amazon past a critical tipping point and trigger its irreversible conversion into a savanna.

@parismarx arguing that #DigitalSovereignty should not be about European companies selling more stuff to #Brazil or countries in #Africa, but about how can we jointly build new #technology in the public interest?
He's also making a strong point in favour of blocking digital services that do not abide by local rules, citing #Brazil as positive example. Points also at federated social media as an important approach to take into consideration local laws.
Brazilians’ negative views of US double, China sees sharp rise in positives. Shift follows US President Donald Trump raising tariffs on Brazilian exports and tightening visa rules.
Colombia's president has used opposition to Donald Trump to burnish his image as a leftist David confronting Goliath — resulting in his U.S. visa being revoked. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/28/world/politics/colombia-trump-regional-rift/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #colombia #donaldtrump #southamerica #caribbean #venezuela #un #us #usmilitary #brazil #luizinacioluladasilva #latinamerica
Brazilians took to the streets of major cities on Sunday to protest legislative efforts to shield former President Jair Bolsonaro and federal lawmakers from the courts. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/22/world/politics/brazil-protest-bolsonaro-courts/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #brazil #jairbolsonaro #luizinacioluladasilva #amnesty
I was just looking at the #stats from my @Castopod for the #podcast #audio version of #firesideFedi. I'm blown away at the diversity of folks. I see folks from #Nigera , #Brazil , #SouthAfrica , #Malaysia , #HongKong , #SouthKorea ! And of course #US , #Canada , #EU .
As an American that's never traveled, I can't wait to learn all about everyone, their cultures, their experiences, etc. I'm humbled as well. I'll be honest, if you asked me to point out on a map where these countries were, I probably couldn't. And I feel like I have to do better there. The internet allows all of us to connect and we need to learn as much about each other as we can so we can all learn.
Thank you ALL! <3

Brazilian ex-president and horrible person Bolsonaro sentenced to 27 years in prison for coup plot and a neverending list of terrible things. Hope he rots in jail.
