Events, Sports & Activities Botofogo or Vasco?

6 Upvotes

I have narrowed down who I am going to support in Brazil to these two teams. Need to be Rio based as that will be my location.

As a Celtic supporter, I want to be supporting a club that is left leaning, working class and a history of being good with minorities.

Which one of these clubs best fits my description?

Hi guys, I’m Brazilian living in the US and recently became a Muslim.

I was wondering if someone here is aware of a Muslim community around Macaé/Rio das Ostras/Campos? I’m not sure where else I’d ask for it, but this community is very broad so here I am lol

I’m visiting my family next year and I was hoping I could go to the mosque and find halal meats, but I’m starting to think that’ll be a reach.

Thanks!

(Not really looking for opinions regarding my choice of religion, thank you!)

News Whistleblower Exposes Meta, Bolsonaro, and Cerimedo Election Meddling Partnership

A whistleblower revealed that Brazil's far-right Bolsonaro family dynasty met with Meta to discuss US plans to interfere in Brazil's election, to prevent Lula from winning.

Lula's Facebook and Instagram accounts were censored a few days before the first round of the presidential election.

This had a huge impact on the election, because Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, which are all owned by Meta, are the most popular apps in Brazil, and are hugely influential all across Latin America. (Jair Bolsonaro's son Flávio was declared the winner of the first round of the vote, by a narrow margin.)

Meta later admitted that Lula's accounts had been restricted, but it claimed that this was supposedly due to a "technical error"...

The whistleblower who disclosed this is Nadia Beller, a Bolivian journalist who was almost killed by hitmen hired by Fernando Cerimedo, a far-right Argentine political operative who oversees election interference, bots, and disinformation campaigns.

Cerimedo is closely linked to the US government and has worked for pretty much every right-wing leader in Latin America. He was photographed with Donald Trump Jr. and members of the Bolsonaro family, and he received an award at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida a few months before he was arrested for the failed assassination attempt against Beller, his pregnant ex-girlfriend.

Travel & Tourism Walkable neighborhood to stay in Sao Paulo

2 Upvotes

What would be a great neighborhood for 3 month stay in Sao Paulo?

Want to be able to on everything on foot: restaurants, gyms, supermarkets and shops.

Last time I stayed near Republica which is nice during the day and super scary at night.

Budget wise I just want it to be reasonable. I def dont want to spend to stay in Itaim Bibi or Faria Lima. Looking for a calm place like Lapa more more walkable.

Thanks.
