In Brazil, Vinicius's hometown shares his pain
Tumblr media
Taking a break from training beneath a giant poster of Vinicius Junior, on the same pitch where the Real Madrid star got his professional start, Pierry Amaro Ricardo has a word for the racism his idol endures.
"It's inhuman," says the 18-year-old Brazilian football prospect.
Like all the boys chasing the ball around the rectangle of green artificial turf at the Flamengo youth academy in Sao Goncalo, a poor city outside Rio de Janeiro, Ricardo dreams of following the same meteoric path as Vinicius, who started out here before signing with Real Madrid at age 16.
But the young midfielder fears black players like him will only continue to face the kind of treatment Vinicius received Sunday at Valencia, where the 22-year-old superstar was targeted with shouts of "monkey" from the stands -- the latest in a series of racist attacks against him.
"It's getting worse and worse," says Ricardo, who plays in the youth system of Flamengo, Brazil's most popular football club.
"Some people think it's normal. We're judged by the color of our skin. My mom's always told me since I was small, 'black people have to be twice as good,'" he told AFP.

"Trial scheduled for September 20th at the Supreme Federal Court may determine the future of Indigenous Lands in Brazilian territory and be crucial for the global climate. The indigenous movement is mobilizing across Brazil, and an indigenous delegation from Apib is in New York during Climate Week to strengthen the international mobilization campaign in defense of Indigenous Lands rights."
"We are on the land, and the land is within us. If the land dies, we as indigenous peoples die."
The Articulação dos Povos Indígenas do Brasil (Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil — APIB) is calling for nationwide mobilizations this week and participating in the New York Climate Week to alert the world to the risks of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) judgment scheduled for September 20th. The court will vote on the legitimacy of the legal concept known as the "Temporal Framework," advocated by the Brazilian agribusiness, which could reevaluate Indigenous Land demarcations and impact global climate crisis mitigation efforts.
The Temporal Framework suggests that only indigenous people who can prove they were living on the land in 1988, the same year the Federal Constitution was created, should have rights to the land. This disregards the forced displacements of hundreds of indigenous groups who could only reclaim their traditional lands after Brazil's redemocratization in the late 1980s.
This week, the 15th edition of Climate Week is taking place in New York from September 17th to 24th, alongside the 78th Session of the United Nations General Assembly from September 19th to 23rd, which will feature a speech by President Lula during its opening. A delegation of 10 indigenous leaders is in New York to participate in Climate Week's activities. The international mobilization's goal is to emphasize to the world that the Temporal Framework is a threat to the lives of Brazil's indigenous peoples and could exacerbate the climate crisis, as Indigenous Lands serve as a reservoir of life on the planet.
Apib and its regional organizations are reinforcing mobilizations in territories, cities, and Brasília against the Temporal Framework on September 20th. The goal is to monitor the trial and strengthen the next steps of the indigenous movement's fight. The organizations within Apib mobilized over 220 protests in 21 states, including the Federal District, between May and June.
Five Supreme Federal Court (STF) justices are yet to vote in the trial. The current tally stands at four votes against the Temporal Framework thesis and two in favor. Justices Edson Fachin, Alexandre de Moraes, Cristiano Zanin, and Luís Roberto Barroso have expressed opposition to the agribusiness-backed thesis, while the only favorable votes came from justices appointed by former President Jair Bolsonaro, André Mendonça, and Nunes Marques.
On the same day as the STF vote, the Brazilian Senate attempts to put the Temporal Framework into law. The ruralist caucus in Congress seeks to create tension with the Brazilian judiciary since there is a possibility that the STF may invalidate the Temporal Framework thesis.
In addition to the Temporal Framework, Bill 2903 proposes other setbacks to the rights of indigenous peoples, such as the construction of highways and hydroelectric plants in indigenous territories without free, prior, and informed consent from affected communities. The proposal also aims to allow farmers to enter production contracts with indigenous people, violating the rights of indigenous peoples to the exclusive use of demarcated territories.
While some falsely claim that "there is too much land for too few indigenous people in Brazil," Apib counters that there is too much land for too few farmers and that agribusiness promotes the illegal invasion of indigenous lands. The entity asserts,
"There is no solution to the climate crisis without guaranteeing the rights of indigenous peoples and the demarcation of their territories."
Currently, nearly half of Brazil's land is in the hands of rural producers. Of the total land in the country, 41% corresponds to rural properties, 13.7% to indigenous lands, and 45.2% to other purposes, according to data published in the Official Gazette of the Union. Indigenous Lands are a guarantee of life for indigenous peoples and for all of humanity, which depends on the climate's future.
"As worsening climate crisis unfolds, many will be marked in history as accomplices to the new colonialism threatening the survival of us, indigenous peoples who inhabit the vast territory known as Brazil, and the future of all humanity because there is no solution to the climate crisis without the involvement of indigenous peoples," emphasizes Dinamam Tuxá.
Key activities of Apib during the 15th edition of Climate Week from September 17th to 24th:
On September 17th, Apib participated in the Climate Week march through the streets of New York in support of the Fight Fossil Fuel Strike. The indigenous delegation from Apib denounced the threat posed by the Temporal Framework thesis, highlighted the indigenous emergency situation concerning extractive industries and agribusiness that lead to multiple instances of violence in our territories. Additionally, as part of the Climate Week agenda, it's worth noting that Apib's executive coordinators Kleber Karipuna, Dinamam Tuxá, and other members of the indigenous delegation will participate in a talk on September 19th titled "FCLP: Rights, Participation, and Benefits for Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities in Forest Climate Financing," organized by the Forest and Climate Leaders Partnership. On September 22nd, a portion of the delegation will be present at a dialogue co-organized with H.E Razan Al Mubarak, the current president of the International Union for Conservation of Nature, to assess progress in the COP28 agenda with the aim of collectively identifying meaningful and respectful ways for Indigenous Peoples to engage in the COP.
About APIB
The Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (Apib) is a nationally recognized entity within the indigenous movement in Brazil, created from the grassroots up. It brings together seven regional indigenous organizations (Apoinme, ArpinSudeste, ArpinSul, Aty Guasu, Conselho Terena, Coaib, and Comissão Guarani Yvyrupa) and was founded with the purpose of strengthening the unity of our peoples, fostering coordination among different regions and indigenous organizations across the country, as well as mobilizing indigenous peoples and organizations against threats and infringements on indigenous rights.

Donate to victims of Brazil floods from abroad
Tumblr media
Brazil’s southernmost state of Rio Grande do Sul, a state the size of Ecuador, has been devastated by historic floods, with most of its 497 municipalities in a state of public calamity. Authorities have described the crisis as “war-like” and consider it the state’s worst crisis caused by natural disasters ever.
Roughly 200,000 people were forced out of their homes, according to state officials. The death toll, which has been growing fast, is inching closer to the mark of 100 — and there are still more than 130 people missing.
A series of public and private initiatives are collecting donations in order to mitigate the devastating effects of the crisis. Post offices in the states of São Paulo and Paraná, as well as some in Rio Grande do Sul, for example, offered to collect and transport donations free of charge.

Brazilian's southern state is going through a tragedy right now.
Rio Grande do Sul's hydrographic basin works in a way that many rivers flow into the Guaíba River/Lake, the one that bathes the region capital, Porto Alegre, and many other cities.
Due to the constant storms we faced last week, these rivers started to overflow, which means the Guaíba lake got overloaded with water. It caused intense floods and landslides, basically this is all the área affected:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Second image shows the metropolitan region. (This is an official government website fyi)
As far as I know Eldorado do Sul is almost fully underwater, and Canoas, that has a train rail that divides the city in two, has the left side (the one that is bathed by the lake) almost fully underwater too.
Many cities ran out of water and some regions don't even have electricity.
I can't stress how much it aches my heart to see the world is ending everyday and no one does anything. Climate changes are here, and people are being affected. People are dying, and the ones that are still alive have lost everything they worked their whole life to achieve.
It really makes you feel weak. Seeing the rich taking over the place, destroying the earth while your relatives and friends go through things like that and you just have to keep living because "things will get better". They won't. This is the worst flooding here since the 40's.
Climate changes are real. And people are already dying because of it.

lol, so today (finally, thank fuck) we had Lula’s inauguration
Bolsonaro decided to behave like a child and flew the country a few days ago so there wasn’t anybody oficial to hand Lula the presidential sash... Bet he thought it would make things real awkward
But Lula made the most of it and decided that representatives of the brazilian popularion should do it, then
Congress members? politicians? oficers? nope. People, commom people, which resulted in one of the most beautiful inauguration moments this country has seen
Tumblr media
And from the hands of a cook, a metalworker, an indigenous 90-year-old leader, a garbage colector, a disabled activist, a teacher, and a 10-year-old black boy came the sash
(and please also note his dog. yes that is Lulas dog. she wanted to participate)
Tumblr media
You can hate Lula all you want... But you can’t say the man hasn’t got style

what's incredible about the Lula win is that Bolsonaro literally changed the constitution, spent 12 billion in trying to buy out votes, and the prev election had a corrupt judge literally jail Lula from running (and then make that judge a member of his cabinet). the win -- at such narrow margins, with the ruling power seemingly having an iron fist, is possible because of the mobilisation of the Brazilian people. The margin is narrow but it is never easy to defeat fascism.
Tumblr media
it's still not over, bolsonaro will very likely contest the results. and when the dust settles, HALF the Congress and key seats are still going to be from his party, so change is still going to be an uphill battle. but this win is important for climate, for abortion rights, for the working class to have a dignified life
also neymar has to pay taxes now 😈

I love how this is such a huge fuck you to our mainstream media. They've been going on for days now about how offensive it is to call it a genocide, how Lula should formally apologize to Israel or whatever and the first chance he got he was like 'I said what I said, this IS a genocide'
