So, to all of you who follow me and who are not from Brazil, you should read this, and please reblog, if you can.

These are some photos of what is happening to our country today. São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro are facing protest all over the cities. To fight for their rights. Our country is living a hidden dictatorship. The protests started because the bus fee raised 20 brazilian cents. Which doesn’t seem that much, but you all should know that millions of brazilians live with a monthly income of no more than 700 brazilian reais (something like 350 american dollars). Some people live and raise families with that money. Monthly. To these people, $0,20 for each bus means a lot.

But the thing is: what initially was intended to be a protest against the bus fee turned into a protest against the dictatorial government. A government that every year, steals millions of dollars of their people, in their own benefit. A government so corrupt, the population got used to it, and make jokes about it. In this country, a school teacher has a yearly income of $8400. The governors, on the other side, earn, for the same time, about $300.000. To work less. And they don’t even show up to work. And besides that salary, they steal.

And now, people are going to the streets. And the response is photographed. The government is brutally attacking everyone. I mean everyone. Protesters, pedestrians, reporters, photographers. Everyone. For no reason. They just attack. And bomb. And hurt.

The media is absolutely corrupted. The brazilian media makes it look like a violent act, that has to be fought with equal violence. That is a lie. 15 thousand people are going to the streets of Sao Paulo with no guns, no fire, no weapons. And they are being hurt, persecuted, and arrested. Some of them have to pay bail fees up to $20.000.

If you came all the way down here, please, reblog this. Help making the world know what is really going on here. This country, this beautiful country, with beautiful beaches, and women, and music, is now screaming in protest. This is the country in which the World Cup will be in 2013. A country that worries about the World Cup much more than it worries about the welfare of its citizens.

It’s sad being here. But we’re fighting.

Word.

This movement actually started in my city, Porto Alegre. We were the first ones to fight. It took us some time, but we managed to get our bus fee back to it’s original price.

It may seem like something insignificant, but trust me, it wasn’t. It was a huge victory for us. It sent a message.

If the government thinks it can get away with anything, they are dead wrong. There are people who are willing to fight. We are many and powerful and we are not keeping quiet anymore. We told them: This country belongs to it’s people. 

More importantly, we proved that fighting for our rights is worth it. Many people told us that the protests would be useless, that nothing would be solved, that we were wasting our time. 

We proved them wrong.

The thing about Brazil is, people got used to being abused. They no longer wish to fight, they no longer believe they can win. But we showed them that fighting brings results.

A few days ago, I saw a picture on the news. It showed citizens from São Paulo holding up a sign that read something along the lines of “Let’s follow Porto Alegre”. I was moved beyong words.

See, we set an example, and now people are confident they can make things happen.

A few weeks ago, the ones fighting were my own friends, people I love with all my heart. Horrible things could have happened to my friends, had the police reacted to us the way it is reacting to SP/RJ citizens. The protests are peaceful, people have no weapons, their only intent is to voice their thoughts. Yes there are few people who behave violently, but they aren’t 0,1% of the whole crowd. Nothing justifies the way the police is reacting.

Sampa, Rio, don’t stop fighting.

Força.

Ze said unto Hir people ‘You do not have to celebrate those who use your proper Words and recognize the validity of your existence. You do not have to be grateful for them. No more than you are grateful for and celebrate the Stranger you passed the other day because they did not punch you in the face simply because you were there. These are the behaviors of Basically Decent People. They are a starting point. Not a special goal to be achieved.’ By

if your feminism isn’t anti-racism it’s white supremacy 

This.

What? How? Feminism is a gender equality movement, not a race movement.

Intersectionality; read up on it. Educate your damn self, there is a ton of information out there that you can easily access. 

And stop inserting yourself into places where you are very obviously not wanted and adding your fucking bullshit.

WoC don’t need any more shit let alone yet another white dude who’s just letting his mouth run.

White people, you need to understand this: People of Color classifying ourselves as Black, Asian, People of Color, or anything else that we identify as does not “hold us back”— it is not stupid or for no reason — it does not “increase racism”. You all not understanding or learning about racism, racial disparity, the history of these terms, and critical race theory actually does though. Us using these terms and talking about racism is not “the problem”— it never has been. You all not understanding it is the problem… By (via fuckyeahcracker)

Nicki Minaj & Peter Rosenberg Talk Past Beef Face-to-Face

She’s so smart and beautiful and perfect and feminist

She’s amazing. Favorite moment (25:30): 

Nicki: “… When there are 10 guys in the line up and little ol me, girl with vagina…”

Interviewer: “wait not a girl with a vagina?”

Nicki: “I said girl with vagina, what?”

Interviewer: “as opposed to a girl without a vagina?”

Nicki: “right…”

But also, why does that fact that hip-hop went and continues to enter the mainstream have to be on her shoulders? Hip-hop started going mainstream way before she was in the scene. Like, you want to talk about hip-hop becoming popular music you better take it up with every other mainstream hip-hop artist, producer, and record label out there from the 90s to now as well. Such a basic critique.

sweet jesus I am in love with this woman

Look at her face when he says he’s “earnt the right” to diss black artists. “I have to diss black people sometimes.”

Breh.

“I will never allow a man to make me feel small.”

Nicki Minaj is an angel
