A fake story about the Virgin of Aparecida, patron saint of Brazil, marks the end of the presidential campaign (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A fake story, with the Virgin of Aparecida, patron saint of Brazil, as an unwitting protagonist, has sparked a major controversy and poisoned the final stretch of the electoral campaign in Brazil. The contention, which harms Bolsonarismo, grew until it drew the direct intervention of the two leading candidates — President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Flávio Bolsonaro — the Bishops’ Conference, and the Supreme Court. Since Thursday night there have been statements, official notes, mutual accusat
Brazil, the new promised land for Cubans (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The presence of Cubans in Brazil surged starting in 2025, alongside the relentless deterioration of living conditions on the Caribbean island.

The Meteoriticists, a trio of women scientists hunting fallen celestial bodies in Brazil (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The story of the trip on which the Meteoríticas (Meteoriticists) were born is reminiscent of the movie Thelma & Louise, the road trip buddy film starring two women that became a major hit in the 1990s. Brazil, 2017: three scientists drive for two days from Río de Janeiro to Bahía, following the path of a meteor. The trio, who met each other at a university, were sporting wide-brimmed hats and traveling in a rented car down dusty roads that led them to increasingly more arid lands. In Thelma & Lo
