Se dúvidas houvesse de que os sindicatos dos motoristas de pesados são de Direita, o silêncio deles perante a subida exponencial dos preços de combustível acabou com elas. Fazem, no máximo, “marcha lenta”. Por muitíssimo menos, no governo Costa, fizeram greve. #motoristas #sindicatos #greve

Komanche just mentioned me on his stream saying that he is fine with me, and honestly, I don’t understand why he mentioned me or why he said that. I know that Fernanda just shared what she experienced with Komanche, and I want to say something that I had kept silent until now. Several of the friendships I have with women streamers in the community were strengthened precisely because we have experienced similar situations with him. I want to make something very clear: I am not fine with Komanche. I also went through a situation with him that I had to keep quiet about at the time and that left me very affected. I know that sharing this can get me into a lot of trouble and that it will probably affect my mental health, but Fer is not alone. I also went through a situation with Komanche that traumatized me, and I want you to know something else: we are not the only ones. There are more of us. (translated)

@mcfernandes is one of the best journalists in traditional media. She does absolutely serious work and has not invented a fake news. She made a sharp observation, moreover, most likely based on inquiries with people inside the Catholic Church. Before her, I had already mentioned on TV Fórum that I found the movement of bishops and priests on social media defending democracy and sovereignty strange, and they made it clear in posts on social media that part of the Church was positioning itself against Flávio Bolsonaro's candidacy. A video of bishops from the Amazon region is what caught my attention to this. But after that, several others appeared. Pastor Zé Barbosa explained this movement. There was a reaction to Flávio's statement that his first act would be to hand the country over to Lord Jesus. Church leaders understood that statement as anti-Catholic due to the value that the Church places on Mary and Our Lady Aparecida, especially in Brazil. The fact that the Catholic Church has saints is something traditionally fought against by the vast majority of evangelical denominations, and Maria Cristina did not invent the project of a former Bolsonaro deputy who is running for election. It exists. It is archived and can be unarchived at any moment. Church sources may have alerted her to this. What astonishes me in all this is that despite the massacre that the colleague in the profession is going through, very few journalists have come to her defense. Either they preferred silence or are saying that she produced a fake news. In much less serious cases of attacks, many of them have gone to social media and used their platforms to defend freedom of the press and expression. Now they join the mob that will likely silence them if their candidate is elected. The same silence is happening with professional journalist organizations. They are silent. What they are doing to an excellent professional is absolutely repugnant. Nothing is more cowardly and shameful. As they also remained silent in the face of the terrifically evangelical minister's decision to censor the networks of hundreds of people. In a decision he took 40 minutes to make. I hope this silence and massacre towards Maria Cristina does not cost democracy in Brazil. Because if that happens, these journalist colleagues will have been complicit along with their organizations. (translated)

Azalia and Mono Osuna are not happy with the show that Manelyk, Kunno, and Bebeshita put on: "If I see my friend drunk, I don't encourage her to make a fool of herself, I rather encourage her to be quiet, you don't mock and laugh, I'm not like that, I'm not going to say anything, I just care that she feels better."

"When we went to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the main judicial body of the UN, to denounce Israel's violation of the Convention on Genocide, we did so as part of our commitment to defending international law and multilateral institutions. We acted to end Israel's impunity and ensure justice for a people suffering a genocide broadcast live, which you can see in real time at your fingertips. In the face of grave injustice, silence is complicity. As one of the greatest beneficiaries of international solidarity in the 20th century, we have no choice but to act, despite the challenges we face for deciding to act in defense of humanity. Nothing disturbs injustice more than collective voices that refuse to be silenced." Ronald Lamola, Minister of Foreign Affairs of South Africa, explains: "When we went to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the main judicial body of the UN, to denounce Israel's violation of the Convention on Genocide, we did so as part of our commitment to defending international law and multilateral institutions.

In WhatsApp, in the Macallan group, Vorcaro and Fábio Faria organized luxury parties. They talked about Alcolumbre, the "3-meter" thing, in black suits and women from Europe. In London, they arranged a suite in another hotel and a pact of silence. The group apparently served to organize the "events." (translated)

I am going to tell you one thing. I have been in the Judicial Career for 37 years, the vast majority of them in civil jurisdiction. I know urban leasing law perfectly. I have thousands of lawsuits in that area behind me. I have even taught at the legal practice school for leases. Well, despite that, I am not going to say a single word about the eviction of the lady from the Retiro neighborhood in Madrid. Not a word. And I assure you that I have an authorized and well-founded opinion on the case. You may wonder the reason for my silence. Very simple. I am very clear that it is a simple SMOKESCREEN, to avoid talking about other things, such as corruption, Ceuta, or the cause of the so-called "cloacas," among others, and I do not intend to contribute to distracting attention from the same.

When God is our security There are moments when all we want is a guarantee. Someone by our side. An open door. Enough money. A ready answer. Something that makes us feel that nothing can go wrong. Ezra could have sought that security too. He could have asked for soldiers, horses, and protection for the journey. But there was something greater within him: the certainty that God did not need an army to guard those who trusted Him. This does not mean that we should reject help, resources, or people. God often uses all of this to take care of us. The danger begins when the resource takes the place of our trust. When our peace depends on who promised to help, the money we have, the answer we are waiting for, or the door that needs to open. God sometimes allows some securities to disappear just to remind us where our true security always came from. Maybe today you are facing a road that you cannot see fully. Maybe there are decisions, worries, or situations that you would like to control. And perhaps God is silently telling you: “You do not need to know everything that will happen. You just need to know who is going with you.” God’s hand continues to rest on those who seek Him. When answers are lacking, He remains God. When someone says no, He continues to open paths. When your resources seem small, His resources remain infinite. And when you see no protection around you, it does not mean you are alone. There are battles in which God gives us people to help. There are others in which He lets us realize that only His arm sustained us. In both situations, the glory still belongs to Him. So, before you desperately run after someone, run to God. Before you give your heart to fear, give your worries to Him. Do what is within your reach, wisely use the resources that God puts in your hands, but do not place your hope in them. Perhaps the greatest peace you can feel today comes from this truth: You may not have all the guarantees you would like, but you have the presence of God. And those who walk under the good hand of God never walk alone. Lord, teach me to use what you have placed in my hands without turning resources into idols. When I feel afraid of tomorrow, remind me that Your hand is still upon me. May my trust not be in people, money, or circumstances, but in You. Guard my paths and give me courage to follow, even when I cannot see everything ahead. In the name of Jesus, Amen. I am Júlio Schneider. If this prayer has blessed your heart, share it with someone you love. Perhaps it will be exactly the word that person needed to hear today. Think about it... while God blesses you! 🙏 Want to pray this prayer with me? I will soon share the link to the Prayer on YouTube, stay tuned. (translated)

Ferran Torres, the author of the goal in the World Cup final, has gone from staying silent during the tournament to becoming a media star after his success with PSG, where he has scored seven goals in six matches, and has had to handle the attention of fans and the media after a period of criticism towards his game.

Flávio remained silent throughout his father's government. Meanwhile, the price of food skyrocketed: rice, vegetables, meat, and so many other products were increasingly heavy on the pockets of Brazilians. Under the Bolsonaros, food inflation rose by 57%, the highest in the last 30 years. Now, with food inflation at 13% over the past four years, he appears to spread lies and try to deceive you. But Brazilians remember the prices they paid at the supermarket. (translated)

Good morning beautiful people, Here are my first impressions of the events of September 22. At the same time that Delcy Rodríguez was enjoying an international bureaucratic bath at the UN and meeting with Donald Trump, María Corina Machado was confirming her seventh frustrated attempt to return to Venezuela. As Venezuelan politics over the last few months increasingly resembles a season of The Apprentice: Caracas Edition, it becomes essential for me to assume that almost everything we see on screen is pure special effects. What do I mean? It is more than evident that the Trump administration is advancing with its own plan aimed at controlling and profiting from Venezuelan energy resources. While they go for the loot, because "to the victor belong the spoils," we entertain ourselves with the parade of ritual gestures and private meetings filtered conveniently by the interested party. Pedro J. Ramírez read this morning, in Madrid, Delcy’s greeting to Pedro Sánchez as that of a bride who is bidding farewell to a lesser suitor because she already has the wedding planned with a magnate. The metaphor is shocking, yes, but it perfectly describes the pragmatism of power: the D-D bromance (Donald & Delcy) is sailing smoothly. However, here everyone seems to be playing at deceiving themselves. The opposition, even those sitting down to collaborate, desperately seeks to justify their steps to avoid admitting that they have been relegated to a supporting role. And, in the same way, the top brass of Chavismo 3.0 consoles itself with that old maxim of "bending to not break." In the process, the one they ended up breaking was the whole country. What lies ahead in the coming months is not a miraculous opening, but very possibly the formal dismantling of what remains of PDVSA and the silent substitution of the oil exploitation regime. And that’s without its benefits quickly reaching the population because this is a slow industry and because the redistribution of wealth will be even more complicated by the new business models. It is possible that we are facing the most radical paradigm shift of the last 60 years: the transition from the rentier state owner to a kind of low-cost extractivist factory. While Delcy and María Corina swallow frogs and crocodiles, unfortunately, the majority of Venezuelans are swallowing shit. Hugs! (translated)

Up to now, the colleagues from SER and El País have been banned from reporting that a new progressive television like La Séptima is going to be born. It is something "unprecedented," but that’s how things are at Prisa… The silence betrays who imposes it (and those who could denounce it but look the other way). (translated)
