International friends: can I just share with you HOW RELIEVED we are here in Brazil that TODAY they have captured Marielle Franco's assassins. Living six years with this case unanswered has been excruciating. Marielle was a monumentous political force, a seed sprouting, just at the very start of her journey, when she was taken from us.

Long overdue: Brazil's stats & geography institute is discontinuing the term "subnormal agglomerate" -- in use for decades -- to describe favelas and other urban communities. New term will be established next year. https://t.co/aMhXGVgWlI

O corte de verba na educação faz parte do projeto político de eliminar a possibilidade de ascensão do povo pobre por meio dos estudos. É a cultura da miserabilidade, da escassez para a manutenção do poder!
