why, why couldn't Haddad got elected in 2018, whyyyy

he was my neighbor for a while while he was mayor of SP! poor guy, everybody used to protest in front of his building (some protests were valid! some were dumb, but ok. others were just horrible people angry because he created dedicated lanes for buses during his time as mayor 🙄)

Great news!

I watched O Que É Isso, Companheiro? on yt today, for unrelated reasons but a good watch to celebrate this nonetheless.

I'd celebrate maybe watching this:

or

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svh-lGcSDmU <- documentary on the beginnings of the labor movement of the steel workers in São Paulo led by Lula. no subtitles, but it's pretty chilling

Heartbreaking
