The page said that President Lula thanked the fandoms for their mobilization and support during a speech on Avenida Paulista. It also reported having participated in a conversation and recording with Vice President Geraldo Alckmin at DiaTV, through Mídia NINJA, with representation from producer Guifa.

It said it respects differing opinions among Little Monsters and does not delete respectful comments. The page added that it could not speak for the singer nor say who she would vote for in a Brazilian election, but it associated her trajectory with the defense of the LGBTQIA+ community, women, equality, freedom, combating prejudice, and political participation. #Democracia #FandomsUnidos #VotoConsciente (translated)

According to the profile, videos with allegations and information of public interest received warnings for unverified content.

It questioned why this type of content received warnings and encouraged followers to share, download, and repost the videos. The publication included the hashtags #FandomsNoMasp, #FandomsComLula, and #ArmysComLula. #FandomsNoMasp #FandomsComLula #ArmysComLula #Censura #LiberdadeDeExpressão #Democracia (translated)

Janoninho stated that Nikolas Ferreira considered himself a prominent figure on social media and said that the creation of Lula's Army on WhatsApp by André Janones would have triggered a reaction of vanity in Nikolas. According to Janoninho, Nikolas's channel was unable to maintain mobilization, and he would have asked for help to take down the group's channel. Janoninho attributed this initiative to the fear of defeat and used hashtags that denounced censorship. #JANONESELULACENSURADOS #EXÉRCITODOLULACONTRACENSURA #NikolasFerreira #AndréJanones #Censura (translated)

Karina Michelin stated that on Sunday, October 11, the Amazon was still burning and that the smoke in Manaus was affecting residents, while classes were suspended and firefighters were working at their limit. She also reported that a firefighter became ill during the firefighting efforts and had to be carried by colleagues. Michelin said that the Amazon Fire Department requested reinforcements from the federal government on September 18, including four aircraft, transportation, and vehicles. According to her, on October 1, the National Public Security Secretariat, linked to the Lula government, responded that the request could not be met at that moment. The author stated that the federal government claimed the state had waived support and cited 229 extinguished fires and another 20 still being fought. She said the aircraft began to arrive on October 10, following a wave of complaints on social media. The author compared the current mobilization with that of 2021, during the Bolsonaro government, when Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Maria Bethânia, and Chico César participated in the song "Canção pra Amazônia," by Greenpeace. She questioned the absence of a similar mobilization in light of the situation of residents and firefighters. Michelin called Lula and the Amazonas government hypocrites and demanded explanations about who had denied or waived help and when reinforcements arrived at the fire line. She also stated that human and animal lives threatened by smoke should take precedence over political disputes. #Amazônia #Incêndios #MeioAmbiente (translated)

The author noted that Pedro Passos Coelho would give an interview to Maria João Avillez on SIC Notícias, between 9 PM and 10 PM, and argued that his governance should be reassessed in light of the financial conditions he encountered. According to the author, Portugal had already requested external assistance when Passos Coelho arrived at the Government in 2011, and the adjustment program of 78 billion euros had been negotiated before he took office. He maintained that during the legislature, exports rose from about one-third of GDP to nearly 40% in 2015, including tourism, and that the tourism sector gained strategic momentum. Regarding privatizations, he acknowledged that some operations were questionable and warranted scrutiny but argued that they allowed the collection of billions of euros, the amortization of public debt, and reduce financing needs and interest burdens. He also considered that cuts in the public sector were painful but questioned what the alternatives would have been when the State could no longer finance itself normally. The author further highlighted that Portugal completed the financial assistance program in 2014 and returned to market financing without a precautionary program, recovering, in his view, decision-making leeway. He stated that Passos Coelho was the most relevant politician of the century in Portugal for having made unpopular decisions and contributed to an economic change whose effects surpassed his Government. #Portugal #Política #Economia (translated)

Jamesons stated that Meta reactivated its Instagram page after removing it in July, when it had more than 30,000 followers. According to the author, the company informed via email that the account did not violate Community Standards and could be used normally again. He said the page was deactivated for more than three months, including the entire first round of elections, and that the absence caused losses in reach, engagement, events, and content opportunities. Jamesons stated that he turned to the courts and that the process would continue, as the reactivation would not compensate for the damages. The author also alleged that Meta had been arbitrarily banning left-wing accounts while reducing their reach. He thanked those who followed the project during the period and asked for support to rebuild the page's presence on Instagram, with likes, comments, shares, and other interactions. #CulturaPop #LiberdadeDeExpressão #Justiça (translated)

Jones Manoel explained that he used to respond to the messages received on Instagram, which averaged between 800 to 1,000 per day. According to him, since October 3rd, the average had exceeded 8,000 daily messages and, since Sunday, his account had gained more than 300,000 followers. He stated that although he had been elected as a deputy, he would only take office in February and was no longer counting on a team to assist him. He mentioned that the team was funded by donations and resources from the PSOL's electoral fund. Manoel also reported that he had not had a day of rest since the first round and that he was dedicated to the campaign for Lula's victory. He claimed that since the beginning of September, he had not been able to sleep six hours a day. According to him, he could not reorganize his response to the messages at that moment, but he would continue responding and could only plan how to do so after the second round. He asked for patience and understanding and said he was doing his best, at his physical limit. #Deputado #Campanha #Lula (translated)

Lula stated that he spoke that day with the governor of Amazonas, Roberto Cidade, to inform him that the federal government would arrive in the state that day to reinforce the fight against the fires. According to Lula, nearly 300 professionals, in addition to aircraft and equipment, were mobilized to help combat the fire in Manaus. He said that the people of Amazonas could count on the federal government and that the joint effort aimed to protect lives, preserve the forest, and support those facing the emergency. #Amazonas #Incêndios #GovernoFederal (translated)

Glenn Greenwald stated that sectors of the left and their allies in the Supreme Court censored and imprisoned opponents under the justification of combating fake news, while André Janones published a book in which, according to him, he bragged about using fake news to help Lula in the 2022 elections. Greenwald said that Janones began to be treated as the main communication strategist for this group. The journalist compared the case to the rachadinha: he asserted that sectors of the left previously described the practice as one of the most serious crimes, but that deputies from the PT and PSOL protected Janones in the Chamber after he was caught doing the same. #FakeNews #Eleições2022 #PolíticaBrasil (translated)
