1/ As suggested by @PopovaProf, I'd like to comment on the recent remarks by the #Brazilian president-elect, @LulaOficial, on the #Russian war of aggression in #Ukraine. Needless to say, many were struck by the ignorance and brutishness of these utterances. A 🧵...
2/ But what lies behind this? Many European/US observers seem dumbfounded by the fact that a leader who is widely (and correctly) believed to have bravely stood against dictatorship in his own country would support a genocidal warmonger such as #Putin on the international stage.
3/ The sources of Lula's (and #LatinAmerica's more widely) attitudes towards the war are many, and differ widely between countries, contexts, and social strata. The probably most often mentioned one is anti-Americanism, stemming from a variety of sources, but often relevant...

“As children we learn to help each other, to be community-minded, understanding that the survival of another woman is our own survival,” says Aline Maia Nascimento from the Observatório de Favelas, a grassroots group in Rio de Janeiro. #Brazil
“...we are taking palliative action because the state is not showing up”
Under Bolsonaro’s far-right govt, critical social policies have been undermined & budgets to respond to violence vs women have been cut. Activists are doing the work of failed or dismantled institutions.

It is hard to imagine the incredible financial hardship that the international students who stayed in the United States are going through.

It is hard to imagine the incredible financial hardship that the international students who stayed in the United States are going through.
(1/n)
The international students who went back home are doing "relatively" well from a financial standpoint.
Most of them are living with their parents and their families can help support them with basic needs.
The ones who stayed, however, face a very different situation.

For an international student who stayed in the United States, they will have - at least - the following expenses:
- Groceries and basic supplies
- Housing
Other miscellaneous can come, but those are certainly the main expenses.
