@mozilla.org launched a campaign against the tech billionaire class during the UNGA — and my face is in NY. 🧵 The ad places me next to Zuckerberg: he manufactures surveillance eyewear; I build local AI to expose political violence in Brazil, with Instituto Fogo Cruzado.

Triad of posters from the Mozilla Foundation campaign. First panel, left: Mark Zuckerberg; second panel, center: Iara, a white woman wearing glasses. Above, the text "Mark gets into eyewear / Gives creepers, peepers" over Zuckerberg and "Iara builds local AI / Exposes political violence" over Iara. Third panel, white background, all caps: "The powerful shouldn't choose what we see", below: "We all decide."

Triad of posters from the Mozilla Foundation campaign. First panel, left: Jeff Bezos; second panel, center: Rose Njeri Tunguru. Above, the text "Jeff builds a rocket. Celebrities go to outer space." over Jeff and "Rose builds democracy tools. Kenyan voices grow stronger." over Rose. Third panel, white background, all caps: "Joyrides won't build a better future", below: "We all will."

Triad of posters from the Mozilla Foundation campaign. First panel, left: Elon Musk; second panel, center: Rudy. Above, the text "Elon buys the blue bird. He trashes the place." over Elon and "Rudy builds Blacksky. Communities call the shots." over Rudy. Third panel, white background, all caps: "Wannabe kings don't rule the internet", below: "We all do."

More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban. Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care. “This is striking,” one doctor said. “The trend is very clear.” (Published July 2025)

Operação policial não é a melhor política de segurança e está longe de ser a que dá bons resultados. Segurança de verdade é ver a cidade funcionando: criança brincando sem medo, trabalhador circulando em paz e morador sem precisar se jogar no chão por causa de tiro. 👇

Irony: a delegation of Brazilian mayors goes to Israel for a security technology fair. After Israel's attacks on Iran and retaliations, they are "caught" in the crossfire: a great way to see Israel's security technologies empirically.

Das ironias: comitiva de prefeitos do Brasil vai à Israel para feira de tecnologia em segurança. Após ataques de Israel ao Irã e retaliações, ficam “presos” no fogo cruzado: uma ótima forma de ver empriricamente as tecnologias de segurança de Israel.
