everyone please read this and share if you can.

Brazil is going through one of the worst climatic crisis ever seen.

i live in the southernmost state, Rio Grande do Sul. we have been suffering from extreme, nonstop rainstorms for a week now. the rivers are flooding, reaching 4-6 meters above their natural level. people are being rescued by helicopters, neighborhoods are being evacuated. entire cities are slowly but surely becoming submerged in water. 60 people missing and counting. 32 deaths and counting.

and this is not new. last november also had a flood like this one. 50 dead, many material losses. it happened again this january, with thousands being left without power or water for days.

three catastrophical disasters within less than a year. three disasters only a few months apart.

this is not natural.

unsustainable agricultural practices and politics led to this. a complete disregard for nature led to this. greed led to this. always greed.

when it comes to the climate crisis, i cannot stress this enough: we need to act now if we still want to live. disasters like this are going to happen more often and they're going to be much, much worse. this flood is being considered the worst climatic catastrophe in the history of my state. i don't know how long it will take for another bigger one to happen and take its place. i just know it will be sooner than it should.

I can't get over how idiotic musk's plan was for this whole Brazil situation. Like it literally went like this.

Brazil: Your rampant unfiltered hate speech and misinformation on your platform is in violation of the law, you need to do something about it.

musk: I'll just close all our offices in Brazil, now that there's no staff in the country you can't charge us.

Brazil: You need to have a representative operating in the country otherwise you can't do business here. Consult with us in 24 hours or your site will be blocked.

musk: ha look here's an ai generated image of toilet paper with the name of your supreme court judge on it (he actually did this)

Twitter is blocked in Brazil after musk failed to consult with them and appoint a representative.

I'm not the biggest fan of hoops but... look at Barbara Domingos' routine. Just look at it.

Brazil's first gold medal (at the Paris Olympic Games!!!) came from the effort and hard work of a black woman, surpassing the athlete from "Israel". Bia Souza is an example to be followed! Vai Bia & Free Palestine!

Twitter is about to be banned in Brazil, why?

Have you seen the news about Twitter (now X, but I refuse to call it that) being banned in Brazil? Have you been wondering why that is? I’m Brazilian, and here I am to explain things to you.

You’ve likely noticed that since Elon Musk took over the social media network, hate speech on the platform has skyrocketed. White supremacist and Neo-Nazi groups have been using Twitter to disseminate racist propaganda and hate speech. And although the United States might not be doing anything about this, other countries are not so indulgent. Brazil being one of them.

Racism and incitement of hate (including speech) are crimes in Brazil. So is political disinformation, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and ableism. Hate speech of any kind is a CRIME in Brazil.

The Brazilian Supreme Court ordered Elon Musk to do something about the political fake news and hate speech on his platform, and Elon responded by shutting down all offices in Brazil.

The Brazilian Supreme Court (STF) then ordered Elon Musk to appoint a legal representative in Brazil, as NO BUSINESS can operate in the country without a legal representative that can be held responsible to crimes and answer to them in a court of law. The STF gave Elon 24 hours to appoint this legal representative, and now that the deadline has passed and Elon has not complied, it seems that Twitter will be shut down in Brazil.

TL;DR: Elon is salty that he’s not above Brazilian law.

Brazil has also given its support

[beau-rebloga-coisas]

I think it's important for non-brazilians to reblog and share *WHY* Twitter has left Brazil because Elon will definitely try to spin it into a "Brazil's actually a dictatorship and we need to take freedom to them" specially since our country currently has a left-leaning leader and in recent past USA HAS interfered in our politics. Don't let Elon get away with blaming Brazil's legal system. Share the truth with friends and acquaintances so everyone knows Elon is a crybaby who thinks he's above the law of entire countries.
