Não tem nada que me emocione mais do que sentir esse carinho sincero, que não conhece fronteiras. Hoje, na COP 31, na Turquia, fui recebido por pessoas de diferentes partes do mundo com abraços, sorrisos e palavras de afeto. Levo cada gesto comigo. É gratificante encontrar pessoas que compartilham da esperança de construir um mundo melhor. Muito obrigado por tanto carinho! ❤️🇧🇷 🎥 @ricardostuckert #LulaNaCOP31

rob peace's story is one of extraordinary intelligence, ambition, and the harsh realities of the environment he grew up in. it's disappointing that a life this remarkable isn't more widely known

Las cinco claves por las que Lula ganó la segunda vuelta en Brasil. 1. La movilización fue determinante. La abstención bajó del 21,08% al 19,21%. Cerca de tres millones más de brasileños salieron a votar. El temor al regreso del bolsonarismo fue uno de los factores que activó al electorado de Lula. 2. Lula amplió el margen donde era fuerte y redujo las pérdidas en el sudeste del país. El Nordeste volvió a ser su principal bastión electoral, pero la remontada también se construyó en el Sudeste. Recuperó Minas Gerais y redujo las diferencias en São Paulo y Río de Janeiro. 3. Lula corrigió los errores de la primera vuelta. Dejó de concentrarse tanto en defender los resultados de su gobierno y comenzó a hablar de los problemas cotidianos de los brasileños: economía familiar, endeudamiento, costo de la vida, ingresos y propuestas concretas para los próximos cuatro años. 4. La campaña digital mejoró sustancialmente. Hubo un canal de WhatsApp que se llamaba “El Ejército do Lula” y fue uno de los fenómenos más interesantes de la segunda vuelta brasileña de 2026.ñ. Era una estructura de movilización digital, organizada por el diputado André Janones. 5. Flávio Bolsonaro cometió errores no forzados. Sus declaraciones sobre cambiar la Constitución, las contradicciones sobre la jornada laboral y algunas intervenciones en los debates debilitaron su intento de presentarse como una alternativa moderada. Lula tenía un desgaste importante, pero Flávio no consiguió convertir todo ese descontento en confianza hacia su candidatura. Un último dato: Flávio Bolsonaro anunció que no reconoce el resultado y que buscará impugnar la elección. Lula anunció que regulará las elecciones.

Caralho, esse é sem dúvidas um dos vídeos mais espetaculares da história do Brasil! Milhões e milhões de pessoas na Avenida Paulista comemorando a reeleição do Lula. A ESQUERDA BRASILEIRA É UM FENÔMENO!

With great joy, I congratulate my dear brother President Lula @LulaOficial on his historic fourth presidential election victory and the renewed trust of the Brazilian people. We share a simple but profound conviction. Politics must improve people’s lives, uphold their dignity and bring hope to those too often left behind. That commitment to social justice remains at the heart of our work. I look forward to strengthening the friendship between Barbados and Brazil as we continue building a fairer, more inclusive and peaceful world. May God continue to guide and strengthen you, dear brother. There is much work ahead, and much good still to be done!

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva came from behind to win Brazil’s runoff election, halting a right-wing wave sweeping Latin America and defying predictions that the 80-year-old political veteran had finally reached the end of his extraordinary career. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Absurdo o que está acontecendo em Copacabana. “Manda o Lula sair na rua”, eles disseram, e onde o homem foi, a recepção foi assim.

a dos días del balotaje con bolsonaro, la ong cinematográfica cinelimite difundió un archivo de 1979 donde lula lideró una huelga de 15 días que desafió a la dictadura militar, logró un aumento salarial y le valió su posterior encarcelamiento político. teapawt.net/cinelimite/status/2113…

“Não adianta tentar me parar. Eu não sou mais um ser humano, eu sou uma ideia que paira no ar. Uma ideia que se mistura com as ideias de vocês.” Um dos discursos mais épicos do Lula. Não tem como não chorar.

🚨 AGORA! Que porrada do Lula na Globo após executivos da emissora almoçarem com Flávio Bolsonaro antes de sabatina no JN: “Não merece confiança! Estão com raiva de mim porque acabei com as bets, aprovamos o fim da escala 6x1 e prendemos o Vorcaro.”

This timeline is worth revisiting often. American slavery lasted nearly 250 years. When it ended in 1865, freedom did not immediately translate into equal rights. What followed was almost 90 years of segregation, enforced through laws and social systems that shaped daily life across generations. Segregation was not fully dismantled until the mid-1950s. This matters because history doesn’t exist in isolation. The effects of long-standing systems don’t disappear overnight. There are people alive today whose parents and grandparents lived through segregation, making this history far closer than it often seems. Progress came through persistence, through organizing, legal challenges, education, and sustained civic engagement. Change required effort, time, and commitment from those who refused to accept inequality as permanent. Sharing reminders like this isn’t about assigning blame. It’s about preserving context. Understanding timelines helps explain why certain conversations still matter and why historical awareness remains relevant today. When history isn’t revisited, it’s often misunderstood. Remembering it accurately helps inform the present and shape a more informed future.

Today we celebrate the icon, the genius, the Black President: Fela Aníkúlápó Kuti! Happy Birthday to the King of Afrobeat! ✊🏿🌍🕺🏿🎂

Black history is fascinating. I just love learning about Robert Smalls. He freed himself from slavery, stole a Confederate ship, liberated his wife and kids, fought in 17 battles during the Civil War, bought the plantation he once had to work on, and served 5 terms in Congress

New York City, wetin dey sup? It was a joy to commemorate 34 years of the Nigerian Day Parade alongside the many Nigerian New Yorkers who fill our city with life. From the entrepreneurs whose businesses strengthen our neighborhoods, to the sounds of Afrobeats pouring out of graduation parties in Southeast Queens, and the aroma of Agege bread calling out to passersby in Brooklyn — the impact of Nigerian New Yorkers is felt across the five boroughs. Our city is richer in culture, stronger in community, and more vibrant because of your contributions.

The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) is deeply saddened at the passing of calypso icon Slinger Francisco, on Sunday 27 September. The Mighty Sparrow, as he was popularly known, is one of the Region’s most acclaimed and accomplished calypsonians. Born in Grenada and raised in Trinidad and Tobago, his music tapped into the rhythms and sentiments of the Region, providing insightful and incisive social and political commentary in an artform unique to the Caribbean experience. In a career spanning the Caribbean, Europe and the United States of America, for many decades the Mighty Sparrow entertained, educated and inspired audiences, promoting Caribbean culture in the global arena with lyrical brilliance. He penned over 500 calypsos, produced upwards of 70 albums, and secured numerous titles, including 10 Calypso Monarch crowns and eight Road March victories. For these and other achievements he fittingly received high regional honours, including the Order of the Caribbean Community (OCC) in 2001, the Order of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago (ORTT) in 2014, and an Honorary Doctor of Letters (DLitt) from The University of the West Indies in 1987. CARICOM extends deepest condolences to his family, the governments and people of Grenada and Trinidad and Tobago, and all in the Caribbean and global community who mourn his passing. May his rich legacy continue to inspire future generations to preserve and promote Caribbean culture to the highest standards. caricom.org/message-of-condo…

BORA LULA 💚💛❤️

"Mother of the Nation" would have been 90 today. In 1936, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, anti-apartheid activist, politician, second wife to Nelson Mandela, was born today in Bizana, South Africa. On a personal note, I can't believe it's been 10 years since I attended her 80th birthday at her house in Soweto.

Montgomery's bus boycott ran for 381 days. It needed cars, gas, insurance and drivers — and money that could not be traced to anyone who could be fired for giving it. A cook solved that problem with pound cake. Georgia Gilmore. She had testified in court about being thrown off a bus, and lost her job for it. Dr. King helped her set up a kitchen in her own house. Then she organized women across Montgomery into a fundraising operation she deliberately named the Club From Nowhere — so that when the money arrived at mass meetings, nobody could be identified, targeted, or sacked. They sold sweet potato pies, fried fish and pound cake at beauty shops and on street corners, week after week, for over a year. Her kitchen fed the movement and funded the carpools. King ate at her table. Kennedy ate at her table. The boycott is remembered as speeches and lawsuits. It ran on pie money from women nobody was writing down. Georgia Gilmore’s story is one of the many stories in black history that is never spoken about. Black history is not only about the famous names. It’s also about the people whose courage, sacrifice, and stories were nearly forgotten.
