#Brazil has once again made the world a more decent, more beautiful place. A victory for workers, women, Black and Indigenous communities, farmers, entrepreneurs and everyone defending our forests and our rights. Hard work lies ahead. We are ready. 🇧🇷

Digital platforms reward speed and emotional intensity. Democratic movements must understand and exploit those incentives, which turned out to be crucial to @LulaOficial's improbable election victory, write Robert Muggah and @IlonaSzaboC. project-syndicate.org/commentary/bra…

Unconfirmed reports of explosions in Southern #Iran, including #Qeshm Island. In March we put the risk of US strikes between November 4 and year-end at 65–75%, with 30–40% odds of a sustained campaign. flashnote.secdev.com/p/escalation-r…

The rejection of Bolsonaro’s alliance with Trump is becoming increasingly visible. At least 25 Democratic lawmakers are demanding answers over the admins role in facilitating Flávio Bolsonaro’s entry into the US. Yet another contentious issue for Trump ahead of the midterms.🇧🇷🇺🇸

Governments are preparing for #war. From #Sweden and #Poland to #Japan and #Taiwan, over 25 countries have issued emergency guides, drills and stockpiling advice. Some warn of conflict, others of blackouts and disasters. Prepping is no longer just for preppers. (1/5)
