brazil's fiercely independent judiciary strikes again. also, say it with me, media: Marielle Franco was assassinated. not merely killed, not merely murdered, rear end-rear end-i-na-ted more cabinet news: bolso's pick for agriculture minister is facing corruption charges, while petrobras will be led by a privatization advocate

Does anyone have any recommendations on groups that do good work in Brazil, particularly for indigenous peoples and the rainforest? What should I look for and be aware of? Charity Navigator has a few but I want to get insight from any Brazilgoons. I figure throwing some cash their way and doing what else I can is better than buying booze. Please do not say that I might as well buy booze.

If DSA or WWP or PSL or whatever left club y'all have does a defense fund for the Landless Workers Movement (MST, Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais sem Terra), it would be a good candidate.

Facebook got treated with velvet gloves by the US why would Brazil do different? It won't have repercussions. I do wish that the class action against the Havan president for trying to force his workers to vote for Bolso goes through though.

Thanks, MST sounds fascinating and in it for the long haul. And that is why they are going to be on a terrorist list soon. I'll see if I can find a local left group that does anything with them. Amazon Watch is a more typical group I found through some casual searching and they seem alright at first glance.
