The author of the post shared the account of photographer Diego Bresani about a photo of Jair Bolsonaro. According to Bresani, Bolsonaro accompanied the production of the portrait, saw a test image of the lighting, laughed, and asked for more photos to be taken. The photographer stated that Bolsonaro posed and had fun with the effect of the light, and that the most well-known image was created with his conscious participation. The author said that he didn't like the photo before, but began to see it differently. He stated that he admired Bresani's honesty for sharing the credit with Bolsonaro and said that the former president seemed little concerned about his own public image and what people would say about him. #fotografia #arte #fotógrafo (translated)

Tsuki found it "sensational" that the magazine Veja had directly accused Lula's campaign of spreading false news against the publication. He then summarized the arguments from a response by the magazine regarding its report about Vorcaro. According to the text from Veja reproduced by Tsuki, Vorcaro's lawyer would have confirmed the authenticity of the audio, and the magazine stated that it removed five short statements — 15 seconds in total — to protect the source. The publication also clarified that it did not say that the audio was included in the plea bargain nor that the confession was made to the Federal Police. Regarding the PGR, the magazine claimed that Vorcaro, through his lawyers, presented an account regarding the funding of a documentary about Lula and promised to deliver documents if the plea bargain was accepted, which did not happen. Tsuki also stated that some outlets were using "jurists" in their headlines to conceal, according to his assessment, that the coordination of Lula's presidential campaign was spreading false news against Veja's cover story. #PolíticaBR #FakeNews #Eleições2022 (translated)

Karina Michelin stated that images from an assembly at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) in Curitiba showed speeches against Flávio Bolsonaro and in defense of Lula's reelection. She said that organizations had announced more than 40 acts at universities across the country and criticized statements that, according to her, advocated for the radicalization of activism and referenced the kidnapping of an ambassador during the dictatorship. Michelin recalled that American ambassador Charles Burke Elbrick was kidnapped in 1969 by members of the ALN and MR-8, and not by the National Union of Students (UNE). She also classified predictions about a potential victory of Flávio Bolsonaro as false and alarmist, stating that the remarks about loss of rights and threats to democracy did not present concrete measures to support them. She mentioned that she did not question the right of students to protest or support candidates but criticized speeches that, in her view, replaced arguments with slogans and romanticized armed struggle. Michelin advocated for universities to shape professionals, researchers, and free citizens and stated that glorifying guerrilla practices and treating opponents as enemies denied democracy. #Educação #Democracia #Política (translated)

Amanda Miranda stated that the image of a public university in flames was among the most violent in recent days. She also mentioned the image of a child holding a gun and that of a congresswoman who, she wrote, had received more than half a million votes and whipped the asphalt while congratulating herself. Miranda said that the fire symbolized disdain for the transformative potential of knowledge and stated that equipment and research samples had been burned. She linked the destruction of science to headlines about cuts in public spending and described Brazil as a dystopia. #Educação #Ciência #Brasil (translated)

Jaz said that he studied at UFPE and reported that there was great concern about the losses caused by the fire, including research, doctorates, samples, and knowledge. He also stated that it was not the first case: at the end of the previous month, the Physics department had caught fire. #UFPE #Educação #Incêndio (translated)

Carlos Leitão, former director of SIRESP, stated that the failures observed during the blackout in April 2025 would not be repeated due to the replacement of batteries, which ensured greater resilience for the emergency system, and denied having knowledge of corruption related to firefighting measures. #ProteçãoCivil #SIRESP #Incêndios (translated)

Elias Jabbour wrote that, a day after a student protest against Flávio Bolsonaro, students from UFPE received threats in his name that mentioned a bomb. Hours later, according to Jabbour, a large fire hit the university's Innovation Directorate, responsible for intellectual property and technology transfer. He stated that the fire destroyed samples of research on cancer, autism, and COVID, as well as years of work from master's, doctoral, and post-doctoral students, attributing the destruction to intolerance and denialism. Jabbour called for an immediate investigation by the Federal Police and the Federal Public Ministry. The author also stated that the affected location was symbolic for transforming knowledge into patents, technology, and industry. In his assessment, countries like China, Japan, Germany, and Norway had understood the importance of strong universities and state planning in science and technology, while treating the university as an enemy would leave Brazil in a peripheral position. #Fascismo #Educação #Ciência (translated)

Lula stated that Flávio Bolsonaro's proposal to cut R$ 200 billion could jeopardize the "Pé-de-Meia" (a savings program). According to Lula, the Minister of Education warned that the reduction, which would affect almost all available funds for services, programs, and investments, in addition to mandatory expenses, could lead to the end of the program. Lula also attributed potential university and federal institute closures, interruptions of daycare and full-time school construction projects, suspension of school bus purchases, and layoffs of workers in services such as cleaning and security to the cuts. In contrast, he said that his commitment was to universalize the "Pé-de-Meia" by 2027 and stated that the election would decide between investing in knowledge or cutting education resources. #Educação #Investimento #Futuro (translated)

At the end of the competition, right on the flight back from the United States, the president of the Federation asked and insisted that I consider the decision to leave because the FPF wanted me to stay. Cristiano Ronaldo begins the letter by acknowledging for the first time what had long been understood: he understood that his era in the National Team had come to an end, even though he had not managed to fulfill his last wish of being a world champion (the only title he had not won with the A Team, and he was dissuaded by Pedro Proença, something that was already known). #CristianoRonaldo #SeleçãoNacional #Futebol (translated)

B24 published a statement in which Cristiano Ronaldo presented his version of the misunderstanding with the national coach and his exit from the training camp. The forward stated that, after the 2026 World Cup, he had prepared a farewell letter, but the president of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) had asked him to reconsider his departure. He also mentioned that he had supported the choice of the current coach. Ronaldo stated that the coach had presented him with a plan for his participation in the national team and that, in an initial conversation, he had suggested that he not travel for the matches in Norway and Denmark. According to the player, he rejected the proposal as he believed it would not be a good example for the captain to stay in Portugal. He noted that Simão Coutinho, sports director of Al Nassr, had accompanied the discussions. Regarding the match in Norway, Ronaldo reported that the coach asked him if he was available to play for 30 minutes. He said he accepted, despite recovering physically, but warmed up from halftime and did not end up playing. The player stated that, in a meeting 48 hours later, the coach agreed to publicly explain the agreed plan and acknowledged that it was a mistake to make him warm up without putting him on the field. According to Ronaldo, the coach had promised to do so at a press conference but had not fulfilled the agreement. The forward said he had validated notes for the conference, in which the coach would acknowledge proposing the plan, affirm that Ronaldo had accepted it without questioning the options, and admit that he would not make him warm up again under those circumstances. Ronaldo stated that the coach should also recognize the importance of the player, who had represented the national team for 24 years, and argue that problems should not be invented around his reaction after the game. Ronaldo said he decided to leave the training camp because he felt the coach had broken his word for the second time. He apologized to the fans for not greeting them after the game and to his teammates for leaving, taking responsibility for both decisions. He added that he accepted being punished by the FPF without mitigating circumstances, as he was the captain. The player stated that he would continue to be available to compete for Portugal after serving the suspension, as long as he was physically well and playing for the club. He also said that he hoped to have one or more farewell matches, but that his priority was to continue competing and winning for the national team. #CristianoRonaldo #SeleçãoNacional #Futebol (translated)

Jones Manoel claimed that his campaign for federal deputy in Pernambuco, number 5050, was already victorious. He said the launch had taken place just over a month earlier and that since then he had traveled across the state and met people willing to support the campaign. He also stated that he would present the results the following day and asked for votes. In presenting his journey, Manoel said he grew up in Borborema, in Jaboatão dos Guararapes, the son of a Black woman who worked as a domestic worker and raised him alone. He reported that he worked from an early age as a newspaper seller, construction helper, office boy, and school janitor. He stated that he learned about hunger, poverty, and humiliation while living in the Borborema Favela and came to understand them as the result of political choices and a society that, according to him, needed to be transformed. He also said he was the first in his family and community to reach higher education and that, with Professor Júlio, he created a popular preparatory course in the region. The publication was identified as electoral propaganda of the PSOL/REDE Federation. #Eleições2023 #Pernambuco #CampanhaEleitoral (translated)
