“Effective Jan. 2, Brazil’s President Lula issued six decrees revoking or altering anti-environment-and-Indigenous measures from his predecessor Jair Bolsonaro, acts highly celebrated by environmentalists and activists.
One of the decrees annuls mining in Indigenous lands and protected areas, another resumes plans to combat deforestation in the Amazon and Cerrado biomes, and a third reinstates the Amazon Fund, a pool of funding provided to Brazil by developed nations to finance a variety of programs aimed at halting deforestation. [The fund] was stalled under Bolsonaro.
Right afterward, Norway announced the immediate release of already available funding for new projects as “President Lula confirmed his ambitions to reduce deforestation and reinstated the governance structure of the Amazon Fund.”
In an unprecedented act in Brazil’s history, Lula also created the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples, complying with his promise to native people who supported his candidacy “to combat 500 years of inequality.”’
[Legal advisor Mauricio] Guetta noted that the newly resumed plans to fight deforestation will revive efforts that slashed deforestation rates by 83% between 2004 and 2012 and “social participation will again serve as a guide for the application of public policies.” According to him, changes during Bolsonaro’s administration regarding environmental sanctioning led the number of trials in the environmental agency to drop from an average of 5,300 per year between 2014 and 2018 to only 113 in 2019 and a mere 17 in 2020. “With the improvements made by the new rules of the current administration, these threats have been solved and the regular processing of proceedings on notices of infraction, an important mechanism to discourage the undertaking of environmental crimes, has been reestablished.”
He said he expected new “revocations” and normative revisions to occur in the coming days “considering the depth of abyss” of the last four years under Bolsonaro...
Unprecedented Ministry of Indigenous Peoples
In an unprecedented act in Brazil’s history, Lula also created the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples, complying with his promise to Native people who supported his candidacy.
“No one knows our forests better or is better able to defend them than those who have been here since immemorial time. Each demarcated land is a new area of environmental protection,” Lula said in the National Congress. “We will repeal all injustices committed against the Indigenous peoples.”” -via Mongabay, 1/4/23

hi, it's me again.
i'm here to talk and beg for you guys to do a favor or just read this post carefully.
a few hours ago i posted a thread on twitter explaining what's happening in brazil with the indigenous tribe "Yanomami".
for those who don't know, i am a brazilian person and this is an extremely sad and cruel thing to hear coming from my country and the people who were here first.
i'd like to ask you guys to at least skim over this thread i made, there's a lot of information including petitions and articles.
(sometimes the link doesn't work so you can just search @swftspX on twitter, the thread is pinned)
you don't have to follow me or like any other posts of mine. just PLEASE. read this.
if you don't want to, i'd like for you to at least see what's happening with the Yanomami people and i'll put some links.
this is them. they're currently suffering from starvation and the brazilian court has openly discussed the fact that the Yanomami people are suffering a genocide due to illegal mining explorations. there has been reports of sexual assault with little kids, miners offering food and gold in exchange of sex with minors and/or their mothers. people dying from diseases since there's barely clean water on their territory and overall it's been hell in there. this happened while Bolsonaro was in command and now they're STILL suffering.
PLEASE. don't let my people die.

ok last thing ill say on this i promise but to be perfectly fair i do think that jkr gets more hate than other equally as bad people and that's mostly because other people as bad as her are usually men and/or not nearly as famous as her. famous people get more hate and famous women even more. lotta respect to the people that call out the misogynistic statements made about her without ignoring the fact that she kind of sucks.
this is not to say she doesn't deserve hate but some of the shit y'all say (not just about her tbh but we're talking about her rn) really cross any and all boundaries. as someone who's been at the receiving end of it im repulsed and disgusted by the terfs that send death and rape threats and suicide bait trans people but i am also repulsed and disgusted by anyone that send death and rape threats and suicide bait terfs, yes, even trans people. none of that is excusable in my eyes and the only acceptable exception to it is bolsonaro. i am not a perfect person id suicide bait the fuck out of that bitch /hj

its just really funny to me that when bolsonaro visited israel during his president, he did indeed was antisemitic publicly and recently when he wanted to go there, even fucking israel was like "don't, we don't want you here" (adding in top of the fact he had a friend who's openly a nazist visiting him)
but lula saying he supports palestine made people 10x angrier than all this to the point of israel banning him, pulling back the israeli embassador of brazil and demanding the president to apologize (which he denied!) and posted a video of a supposed brazilian woman talking about how she was attacked by hamas during a rave. which is. convenient timing.

Sick and tired already of American liberals immediately trying to somehow make what's happening in Brazil somehow republicans fault.
It's literally Fucking Democrats.
You wanna be mad at people spreading right wing ideology and platforming extremists? Blame Democrats.
Republicans arent the ones intentionally platforming extremists in the first place. ACTUAL normal Republicans are PISSED that they keep losing to extremists who run on a Republican ticket. And they're even more pissed that most people wouldn't even KNOW about the extremist candidates if it wasn't for Democrats intentionally shoving them into people's faces with campaign ads "raising awareness" about extremist candidates.
Democrats may talk shit about Trump but they love him as a candidate even more than Republicans do. Even fucking Bernie Sanders. Yeah. The "left-wing" socdem everyone simps over? He likes Trump too.
Democrats have incentive to keep Trump supporters and extremists on the ballot and they've admitted it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Republicans are MORE divided over trump than Democrats are.
Take as much time as you need with that.
Then, when you're over it start demanding that Democrats who pretend to hate Trump in interviews and press conferences only to turn around and fund, platform, and aid far right campaigns... Be removed from office.
Demand they stop HELPING trump's picks. Republicans are NOT fucking doing that. They're doing the opposite. Why? Cuz it's costing them seats. Which, sure okay might be a little biased of a reason but at least they fucking have a reason. At least they're TRYING.
Tumblr media
No, I don't want Republicans in charge of anything either but you know what I would NEVER risk to stop it? Putting a fucking white supremacist on the ballot and helping right-wing ideology spread globally JUST so a Democrat can have a seat instead.
Like WHAT

"Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva legally recognized nearly 800 square miles of Indigenous lands on Friday [April 28, 2023] in an effort to stop illegal logging, mining and land grabbing, reversing policies enacted by his predecessor Jair Bolsonaro, a far-right leader who encouraged development in the Amazon. Those policies spurred a frenzy of activity, including illegal gold mining and clandestine farming in Indigenous territories, devastating the environment and fueling violence.
“We are going to legalize Indigenous lands,” Lula said in a speech. “I don’t want any Indigenous territory to be left without demarcation during my government.”
Under Lula’s new designation, mining activities are now prohibited, and commercial farming and logging require specific authorization by the Brazilian government. Non-Indigenous people are forbidden from engaging in any economic activity on Indigenous lands. Under Bolsonaro, the Amazon saw a 56 percent increase in deforestation, the destruction of nearly 13,000 square miles of rainforest, and the loss of nearly 965 square miles of Indigenous territories. 
The Amazon rainforest, which is twice the size of India, holds large amounts of carbon which are crucial to fighting climate change. Studies show that protected Indigenous land holds 50 percent more carbon per hectare than unprotected areas in the Brazilian Amazon, and that protecting Indigenous territories in the region could prevent more than 15 million respiratory and cardiovascular-related illnesses. There are more than 3,000 protected areas in Brazil, and 490 recognized Indigenous areas. Those Indigenous areas cover more than 264-million acres – almost 13% of Brazil’s territory.
“Indigenous areas are crucial to preserving the Amazon, the world’s central bank for biological diversity,” said Toerris Jaeger, Director of Rainforest Foundation Norway, in a press release. “Today’s announcement is also an important recognition that indigenous people are the ones best able to guard this wealth.”
Lula’s announcement provides recognition to six territories that are home to nearly 4,000 Indigenous peoples. The largest area is the Nadöb people’s Uneiuxi Territory located in the Amazonas state. With recognition, the area has been expanded by 37 percent to 2,100 square miles of primary rainforest. 
But for some Indigenous communities, the announcement fell short. In January, Lula’s government pledged to create 14 new territories, while another 733 territories await distinction and boundary acknowledgment by the federal government. The lands of the Pataxó people in south western Bahia state is just one of the territories left out of Lula’s announcement. Renato Atxuab, a Pataxó leader, told the AP that Silva’s government must distinguish their land as soon as possible to prevent further invasions by outsiders. Over the past year, Axtuab said, there have been violent conflicts involving agribusiness, land-grabbers and drug traffickers. 
“There are still, currently, hundreds of Indigenous Lands in the country with their recognition processes pending,” said Danicley de Aguiar, a spokesperson for Greenpeace Brazil. “Several territories, despite already being officially recognized, suffer from invasions by illegal gold miners, subjecting the people living on those lands to extreme violence.”
She added that going forward, real protection of Indigenous lands will require monitoring by the Brazilian government."

"A left opposition that counts on the institutions, on the legitimacy of a discourse on human rights, on judgements in the Hague court, that is committed to peace and democratic rituals - is not prepared to face an enemy eager to murder in the name of God and country." -The Ex-Worker Podcast, episode #91 - Elections, Fascism, and Popular Resistance in Brazil
