This is Sao Paulo today, 4PM. The cloud from the burning of Amazon rainforest in Rondonia, covered the city. Sao Paulo is 3300km (2052 miles) distant from Boa Vista. Athens is closer to London than Sao Paulo is to Boa Vista. Just to give you an idea of the damage. Picture @jnascim

What is being done to the Wajãpi pple is not a sudden attack, but an elaborate plan that started being formulated in 2017, when president Temer extinguished RENCA (National Reservation of Copper and Associates), an area spanning 46.450 km2 in 1984, blocked to private investors. At least, Temer TRIED to extinguish RENCA, he revoked the decision after pressure from social movements. It still stands that this is a years-worth effort to attack the Wajãpi people. brasil.elpais.com/brasil/2017/09…

There is a history of coincidences tying together the Brazilian militias and the Bolsonaro’s and Brazão’s families. The Brazãos runs a militia that controls the districts of Rio das Pedras and Muzema in Rio de Janeiro. This militia is “kindly” known as "the Crime Office". The leader is the former state deputy Domingos Brazão. His mandate was revoked in 2011 due to wrongdoings, but he returned to the legislature in 2015. Nowadays, his brother Pedro is an assemblyman for the State of Rio & his other brother Chiquinho is a Congressman in Brasilia

Follow this small thread @BilldeBlasio: between 2011 and 2018 @Marriott opened 11 hotels and invested U$ 400 million in Brazil. Now, after all this investment, a fascist, anti-climate, rascistas and misogynist government started to rule the country.
turismoetc.com.br/viagem/marriot… So what a huge company should do to preserve its investments in that scenario? @Marriott had no doubt whatsoever: decided to host an event honoring this fascist president at one of its best hotels in NY @MHMarquisNYC. The event will happen on May 14th, at evening.

Environment minister and ruralist @rsallesmma submitted a request to BNDES (National Development Bank) to access all of the Amazon Fund's contracts. One of Bolsonaro's presidential campaign promises was to promote "the opening of the BNDES black box". valor.com.br/politica/61483… It is noteworthy that this effort should begin precisely in a fund that does not use Brazilian government resources, but which is only managed by the Bank.

Minister @Ernestoaraujo claimed today that the international press never referred to Kim Jong-Un as a dictator before his meeting with Trump. As we believe that the minister isn’t a liar, only an ignorant antiglobalist, let’s remember how the press treated KJU in the past. In 2010, even before the death of Kim Jong-Un’s father, German tabloid @BILD already referred to little Kim as the “new dictator”.

Bolsonaro’s minister @rsallesmma has stated that Chico Mendes holds no relevance in today’s world. He also admitted his little to no knowledge about Mendes. So in solidarity, we’ve built a thread to show the minister where and with whom he can learn about CM’s undying relevance. A good start would be at the UN, who gave Mendes the Global 500 award in 1987. The prize was created by the UN Environment Programme: global500.org/index.php/thel…
