PCC AND CV AREN'T TERRORISTS ORGANIZATIONS CAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ANY POLITICAL IDEOLOGY. BY BRAZILIAN LAW STANDARDS THEY ARE PART OF THE ORGANIZED CRIME BECAUSE THEY ARE MOTIVATED BY FINANCIAL GAIN

The US used the same fucking tactics in the 60's with the red scare and the brother sam operation to help with the coup of the Estate that forced years of military dictatorship upon us and now they are trying to do it again but with this terrorist propaganda.

Also, this year is another election year, and this propaganda only fuels the alt right wing in Brazil.

We have oil, we have natural resources and it wouldn’t be the first time the US searched for an excuse to invade a latam country.

We are also the biggest defense south america has military wise (and believe me it's not much, we are mostly inoperative)

It's not the first time Trump tries to stain Brazil's image internationally, trying to paint us as dangerous and criminals

Please think about seventeen members of your family right now.

Close family or extended relatives, even family friends if you must. Think about who they are. Think about what kind of things they like or dislike, think about all the memories you have of them.

Could any of you fathom losing all seventeen of these family members, effectively in one go?

As our state government and its federal representatives completely abandon Minas Gerais, unexpectedly heavy rains have hit our state once again. The cities of Juiz de Fora, Ubá, Matias Barbosa, and Senador Firmino have been hit the hardest, their city centres turned into truly post-apocalyptic scenes.

Mrs. Maria Aparecida Batista has three of her family members confirmed dead and 14 unaccounted for, buried under the rubble and most likely dead as well.

How would you cope under these conditions?

53 dead, hundreds missing, 5 thousand displaced.

Whil the donation links to the mostly white state of Rio Grande do Sul are still up, our state is apparently doing too well to merit the attention of the Red Cross, or of our own governor. As most relief efforts are being locally organised and led, the only immediately verifiable option I could find online is the World Central Kitchen.

World Central Kitchen:

If you can help, anything at all will be welcome.

Fellow Brazilians, if any donation centres have been set up in your city, I would urge you to give what you can live without. Five thousand people are living without anything of their own.
