The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇧🇷⚜🚩

Brilliant thread. Beautiful summery of it all

I worked the Brazilian elections for France 24.
For what it's worth (and armed with a degree in History and Politics!!), here's my take on what happened.

[Michael Metcalfe @MjM__88]

Cant believe this... what a guy! we will never see another leader like this in my life 🥹

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva defeated Flávio Bolsonaro to stay president of Brazil, halting the right’s march in Latin America. Follow live updates. https://t.co/vr6TetYb1D

@lewis_goodall Please please talk about this on the News Agents today Lewis. No Trump or American episodes. An election special on Brazil, Israel and Serbia 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Most depressing stat I think ive ever read. My last minute call not to go to Paris has been justified

[Nick Underhill @nick_underhill]

Aaron Rodgers has more rushing yards (8) than every member of the Saints.

[Michael Metcalfe @MjM__88]

@nick_underhill Reid was playing?!

Este es Lula liderando con el sindicato del metal a los 33 años la huelga que desafió a la dictadura militar en Brasil. Logró aumentos salariales y fue encarcelado. Mientras, la única profesión del ultraderechista Flávio Bolsonaro ha sido la de político desde que tiene 21 años.

Arguably, the best city in the world 🇧🇷

Lula se emociona em rede nacional: "Eu era de menor e trabalhava a noite [quando perdeu o dedo], por culpa da irresponsabilidade dos patrões. Eu NÃO vou aceitar que um MILICIANO me chame de 9 dedos."

[Michael Metcalfe @MjM__88]

Tomorrow is such a huge day. The thought of another 4 years of a Bolsonaro government is terrifying for the country, the poor, workers, students, the amazon and the world. Bora Lula!

[Lula @LulaOficial]

Trabalhador merece respeito, dignidade e direitos!

Aos 17 anos, perdi um dedo trabalhando à noite, quando ainda era menor de idade e precisava trabalhar para não passar fome.

A minha história é a realidade de milhões de brasileiros que enfrentam jornadas exaustivas, acidentes de trabalho e condições precárias, colocando a própria saúde e a própria vida em risco para garantir o sustento de suas famílias.

Transformar uma marca dessa trajetória em motivo de ofensa é desrespeitar não apenas a minha história, mas a luta, a dignidade e a resistência de milhões de trabalhadores e trabalhadoras deste país.

Minha cicatriz não é motivo de vergonha. É a marca de uma realidade que o Brasil precisa enfrentar. Trabalhador não pode ser alvo de deboche por carregar no próprio corpo as consequências de uma vida inteira de luta.

Ridiculous 🤣

@tracegirouard48 "We got to be better prepared..."

[Michael Metcalfe @MjM__88]

@LiamKeen__ Why did anyone feel this season would be any different? Its effectively the same squad as last year, the one that got spanked every week. As a group, these lads have shown they can't consistently win games. Fans were promised change. Nathan like Jeff, all words, zero action

[Michael Metcalfe @MjM__88]

@tjayjones8 Its not just the Saints though. I guarantee you the Pelicans will get off to a rough start, yet she won't show that fire when it comes to the Pels. From the outside looking in, she just feels content both teams being too good for top 3 picks, but being too bad for playoffs

[Michael Metcalfe @MjM__88]

@RosvoglouReport Also Chris, you shouldn't forget the Pelicans in this with Gayle. She overseas 2 franchises that are horribly run. Like the Pels, they'll never tear it down. Both are in a purgatory of being not good enough for the playoffs, but not bad enough to secure a top 3 pick

[Michael Metcalfe @MjM__88]

@RosvoglouReport I hear you Chris. However, let's say Loomis is removed, we all know what Benson will do... like the Pelicans with Griffin and hiring Dumars... she will hire somebody who she is friendly with and is a "nice guy"

[Michael Metcalfe @MjM__88]

@jonsopel Its all words sadly. He was there at Trumps inauguration in 2024 and has constantly been penning pro Trump articles in the Daily Mail.

[Michael Metcalfe @MjM__88]

Brazil is so fucked 😔 like Turkeys voting for Christmas

[POPTime @poptime]

🚨 Primeira pesquisa de segundo turno do PoderData/Aya mostra Flávio Bolsonaro com 53% dos votos válidos, contra 47% de Lula, uma diferença percentual de 6 PONTOS.

[Michael Metcalfe @MjM__88]

@nick_underhill Up?! Here in the UK I stayed up until nearly 5am to watch that mess! Just got into work! Wish the players would have shown just a shred of dedication the fans give
