🇧🇷🔥 Very tense situation in #Brasilia, capital of #Brazil, on one side the police, wanting to arrest protesters and on the other the army, guaranteeing a peaceful manifestation within the military area.
🇧🇷 This is the most important situation to keep an eye on right now. Did external interference in the country's sovereignty and total humiliation of the forces bother the generals? What do you think? Have the powers gone on a collision course? 🔥

1️⃣ In the first half of 2022, #deforestation claimed roughly 3.880 square km of the #Amazon rainforest, an area five times the size of New York City.

💥 In less than two hours, Solomon’s @stea_ari will host the award-winning investigative journalist @Andrew_Wasley from the @TBIJ, specializing in food and environment issues, to discuss the deforestation linked to the #Brazilian beef trade as it has been exposed in recent years.
💥 Over a years-long investigation, @TBIJ along with @guardian and @reporterb revealed that Amazon fires were 3x (❗️) more common in the areas supplying cattle to abattoirs than elsewhere in the rainforest.

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...

Those findings were misconstrued by some in the media as an attack on #indigenous peoples and their traditions in the #Amazon region. This couldn’t be farther from the truth.
#AmazonianDarkEarths (ADE) are widely regarded as a model for sustainable agriculture. Their unusual fertility and elevated concentration of charcoal, has prompted industrial-scale biomass burning to make products for soil amendment.

Thank you @IWS_Network for giving me the opportunity to share my #story 💜 ! This a part of Voices Without Frontiers program iwsnetwork.ca/voices-without… #IWS #WomenInSTEM #VoicesIWS #ecology #conservation #biodiversity
I was born in #saopaulo, #Brazil’s largest city, very different from the #Amazon Rainforest & Rio! See me and a #samauma, the most famous Amazon tree 🌳
Also me & @IsabelaHissa in front of Sao Paulo’s #MASP (Modern Art Museum) & me and my mom in #Rio! #VoiceIWS @IWS_Network Image
I can say I lived in a great #rainforest because Sao Paulo & most of the coast of Brazil are in the Atlantic Forest 🌴🌺🐍. It is one of the 34 world’s #hotspots of #biodiversity, with more than 1500 plant species and 90% of original area loss. #VoiceIWS @IWS_Network Source: https://www.e-educa...

Black #Brazilian women take bold action against gender-based violence.

As President Bolsonaro’s far-right government decimates state support, activists are stepping in to combat abuse during the coronavirus crisis. via @5050oD #COVID19

“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.

THREAD: Financial hardship for international students.

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.

(2/n)
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.
