I am hiring a PhD researcher! Join our international team of Social scientists and take part in an exciting collaborative research project that seeks to push interdisciplinary boundaries in innovative ways!

Essa história mostra que (a) bolsonarismo é organização criminosa, com métodos de organização criminosa e (b) é sempre, sempre com jornalista mulher.
