Orgulho do meu Brasil hoje. Um país que quarenta anos atrás se livrou do regime militar hoje pode dizer que mandou militares golpistas para a prisão. Assim o Brasil dá um exemplo para o mundo inteiro: o lugar certo para golpista e autoritário é no presídio.

It's hard not to notice how little coverage in US media there is of the violence perpetrated on the West Bank's civilian population. Gift opinion piece in The New York Times, ironically one of those papers that hardly reports on this crisis.

Chuck Schumer doing what he does best: folding to Trump’s authoritarian regime and failing the American people. You’d think after last week, he’d understand the moment we’re in and the leverage he has. He must be replaced as leader immediately, and the out-of-touch corporate old guard needs to go.

Mamdani's remarks about NYC being a city of immigrants, built by immigrants, and now led by an immigrant certainly struck a chord with me, an immigrant. We're Americans by choice and we love our country fiercely and will defend it from home-grown despots.

Good luck to everyone running the New York City Marathon today. I was fortunate enough to secure an entry through the lottery on my first try ten years ago. It was my second marathon I ran and was quite a humbling experience because of the difficulty but it left me memories to last a lifetime. 🗽🏃🏻
