Last Sunday, former President Jair Bolsonaro’s supporters stormed top government buildings in Brazil. TPW Programmes Director @samunderwood25 shares why Brazil matters for democracy, human rights, and climate globally: https://t.co/UedB2M3nFw

There seems to be evidence that members of Brazil's Armed Forces are directly involved in today's attacks on Brazil's Congress, Supreme Court and presidential palace

What does it take to not just be wheeled out to energise those with resource? But to actually be resourced to do the work? To not just be praised for my passion, articulations or practice. To not just be the future. But resourced in the now. To be acknowledged as the present.

Great CNN graphic telling the story of a very tense night... looking like that trend will continue but will have to wait to be sure #Brazilelections

The Highway Police operations in Brazil's Northeast, a region that predominantly votes for Lula, may amount to voter suppression.Analysts have for months warned that the real risk to Brazilian democracy was not a classic coup,but rather attempts to cause havoc on election day🧵👇

[Oliver Stuenkel 🇧🇷 @OliverStuenkel]

Reports are emerging that Brazil's Federal Highway Police is conducting an unusually high number of operations on highways in Brazil's Northeast (which heavily votes for Lula), in what critics claim amounts to voter suppression.

@mrjamesob The policy is awful but this feeds the idea that children of immigrants should be held to higher moral standards than children of white Brits - a pervasive form of racism on the left. The issue is the environment that made this policy possible, not the family history of the MP

[Oliver Stuenkel 🇧🇷 @OliverStuenkel]

Bolsonaro obtained 50.85 million votes and has four weeks to catch up with Lula, who obtained 56.53 million votes. Even though 28 days is a long time in Brazilian politics, the president faces an uphill battle as we approach the runoff on October 30. A few thoughts🧵👇

[Oliver Stuenkel 🇧🇷 @OliverStuenkel]

Days ahead of Brazil's Oct. 2 presidential election, the country is facing the most serious challenge to its democracy since its inception 37 years ago. 🧵👇
