My Brazil Costume

On October 25th, 2026 Lula (Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva) won the Brazilian Presidential election–securing a historic FOURTH term.

It was the first time in Brazil’s history that a candidate who lost the first round went on to win the runoff!

Despite all the voter suppression tactics by the right-wing, Lula’s had this incredible comeback from the first round–thanks to the people! (He had trailed the right-winger Bolsonaro by over 2.2 million votes. *incredible*)

I was so HAPPY that I dressed up in a “Brazil” costume and did a Brazilian dance. (I wrote more about how incredible this victory was–thanks to the people–over here, in case you’re curious.)
