After a massive police raid on a notorious #drug gang, residents of a Rio de Janeiro favela spent all night collecting bodies in trucks from inside and around their urban community and then laying them down in a central square. By early morning Wednesday, at least 50 bodies of mostly young men without shirts lay on the ground in Penha, one of two sites targeted in Rio’s deadliest police operation.

Brazilian Researchers Warn Against Commodification Of Climate Agenda

Dust, mud, accident risks, tailings dam failures, and internal conflicts are among the impacts of mining in Rio Preto. According to the researchers, this suggests that the energy transition may be used merely as a cover for mining companies to continue perpetuating practices that harm nature, disrupt socio-environmental relations, and deepen inequalities

#Brazil President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva criticized the latest #US #military strikes against suspected drug smugglers off the coast of #SouthAmerica.

"If this becomes the norm, everyone will believe they can invade another country's territory to do whatever they want," #Lula said on Friday during a trip to Indonesia, acc/to TV Globo. "Where does that leave respect for the #sovereignty of countries?"

Lula could meet #Trump on Sunday at the ASEAN summit in Malaysia.

Since I was very young, I never felt much admiration for the US. Their cultural influence always seemed overwhelming, maybe that’s one reason I became so drawn to classical music. Today, I can’t imagine living without it.

When I studied physics, I dreamed of earning a PhD in Europe. Why? I wanted to live somewhere where public transportation was the norm, not a privilege.

I was lucky to receive a scholarship that let me spend six months in a wealthy European city during my master’s program. I didn’t finish the degree, but that experience completely changed my life at 23.

I could never relate to friends who wanted to pursue their careers in the US. To me, it always felt like a wealthier version of Brazil. I visited them three times for work, San Francisco, Washington DC, and Sausalito, and the inequalities I’d grown up with were right there in front of me.

I’ve always found American patriotism somewhat suspicious. Maybe it’s a way to compensate for the country’s deep contradictions, to build a fantasy of greatness that so many, even abroad, even in Europe, end up believing in.
