One year ago today, we were in Auschwitz filming the first part of our documentary. This has been such a wild, painful, beautiful and enlightening journey...

@FacesAuschwitz
We will be back soon... and then I will be able to say that our mission will have been accomplished.

But we’ll keep fighting.

Slavery may have been officially and legally ended many years ago, but in Brazil, the consequences of this period are still felt today, especially through the religious intolerance towards religions that came from Africa, for instance candomblé, and social inequality.
Candomblé is an Afro-Brazilian religious tradition that originated in Salvador, Bahia at the beginning of the 19th century. It was born of a people who were taken from their homes in Africa and transplanted to Brazil during the slave trade.

Ps: vou liberar mais algumas em breve, dessa vez acompanhadas por um texto escrito por um professor brasileiro.

Já queria ter feito, mas é um projeto que demanda horas de trabalho e que eu tento encaixar no meu tempo livre. Prometo que em breve sai. :)

#NEW: Whenever Google is caught doing something dubious, its response is always the same: Blame someone else.

We've pulled together a sampling of Google's blame-shifting and created a parody "Google Doodle." Play the "Google Blame Game" here:
googletransparencyproject.org/articles/play-… 1/4
When journalists or regulators have raised questions about Google's conduct, Google has cast blame at different times to Microsoft, Apple, Rupert Murdoch, Viacom, Oracle, Fox, AT&T, MPAA, NBC Universal, publishers, competitors... 2/4
...comparison shopping sites, “some existing providers,” “a small number of websites”—even “an anti-Google Industrial Complex.”

The problem with trawling through Corbyn’s past to find problematic things he’s said & done is - nobody new cares. People fall into 3 categories: people who became wise to it the first time they saw him engage in something unacceptable, people who are disinterested...
...and people who will defend him no matter what. Nobody is on the fence about Corbyn or ignorant about his past problematic views & associations. For those who defend him, they either dismiss it all as smears or the goalposts have moved so far now that they see nothing wrong...
It’s that awful vicious cycle of being vindicated, but nobody caring, so presenting more & more evidence, but people responding to that by thinking you’re hysterical / desperate / clutching at straws. Instead of being an exposé of things that would have sunk any...
