Posted on YouTube, the denunciation has had more than 38M views.
The number of reports of explicit material depicting children and adolescents collected by online human rights NGO SaferNet have skyrocketed by 114 percent since influencer and comedian Felipe Bressanim Pereira, widely known as Felca, described how content creators make money by exploiting minors in sexualized settings.
In the video, which has garnered over 38 million views, Felca denounces the monetization of content in which children and adolescents are sexually exploited. The number of reports was checked last Tuesday (Aug. 12) on the NGO’s reporting platform, which has maintained its national channel for reporting crimes and human rights violations on the web for almost 20 years. From August 6, when the video was posted, to midnight on Tuesday, SaferNet received 1,651 single reports. In the same period last year, the hotline had received 770 complaints. The surge reached 114 percent.
Single complaints are those that SaferNet receives online anonymously, which are then submitted to federal prosecutors after filtering.
Alô Comunidade! A seguir há uma informação muito importante para vocês.
Infelizmente existem em nossa comunidade pessoas que podem ser taxadas de “gente do mal”, que têm inveja do sucesso de outras pessoas e/ou de eventos de sucesso da comunidade.
Os Estados Unidos inteiro, o resto do mundo e onde existe uma comunidade brasileira e pessoas amantes do nosso Brasil, sabem muito bem que O EVENTO OFICIAL DO BRAZILIAN DAY POR 36 ANOS sempre foi feito na Little Brazil, West 46th Street, onde todos os anos se reúnem mais de 1.5 milhão pessoas e que, em 2019, chegamos ao recorde de ter mais de 2 milhões de pessoas reunidas para ver e ouvir o melhor da música brasileira.
O nome “Brazilian Day” não pode ser patenteado, mas “Brazilian Day in New York” sim, e este é 100 % patenteado.
Um “brasileiro”, que eu não sei quem é, nem onde tem seu escritório, está fazendo, segundo ele, o Brazilian Day Official.
Ecossistemas marinhos ameaçados pelo calor, acidez e baixos níveis de clorofila
Os três fatores têm convergido cada vez mais no Atlântico.
Uma combinação de três fenômenos ameaça cada vez mais os ecossistemas nas regiões sul e equatorial do Oceano Atlântico: ondas de calor marinhas, alta acidificação e baixa concentração de clorofila.
Antes de 2016, era incomum que esses fatores convergissem. Desde então, eles têm sido observados simultaneamente todos os anos. Os três fenômenos decorrem da atual emergência climática.
O oceano está entre os principais reguladores climáticos do planeta. Ele absorve cerca de 90% do calor da atmosfera e 30% do dióxido de carbono. Quando o calor atmosférico é excessivo, o oceano superaquece. O acúmulo de dióxido de carbono torna a água mais ácida.
Esses eventos poderiam ser atenuados se o suprimento de alimentos para as espécies marinhas fosse adequado. Alguns ecossistemas conseguem sobreviver em águas mais quentes e ácidas se houver alimento disponível.
Sea Ecosystems Threatened By Heat, Acidity, And Low Chlorophyll Rates
The three factors have converged more and more often in the Atlantic.
A combination of three phenomena is increasingly threatening ecosystems in the southern and equatorial regions of the Atlantic ocean—marine heat waves, high acidification, and low chlorophyll concentration.
Before 2016, it was unusual for these factors to converge. Since then, they have been observed simultaneously every year. All three phenomena stem from the current climate emergency.
The ocean is among the planet’s main climate regulators. It absorbs some 90 percent of the heat from the atmosphere and 30 percent of the carbon dioxide. When atmospheric heat is excessive, the ocean overheats. The accumulation of carbon dioxide makes the water more acidic.
These events could be alleviated if the food supply for marine species were adequate. Some ecosystems are able to survive warmer, more acidic waters if food is available.
Trump anuncia decreto para barrar voto por correio e urnas eletrônicas nos EUA
O presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, declarou nesta segunda-feira (18) que pretende assinar um decreto executivo proibindo o voto por correspondência e o uso de urnas eletrônicas em todo o país antes das eleições legislativas de 2026.
Segundo o g1, Trump usou as redes sociais para afirmar que vai liderar “um movimento” contra os dois formatos de votação. “Vou liderar um movimento para acabar com o voto por correio e também, já que estamos falando nisso, com as urnas eletrônicas altamente ‘imprecisas’, muito caras e seriamente controversas”, postou.
Analistas apontam que a decisão tem forte impacto político, já que o voto por correspondência facilita a participação de trabalhadores de baixa renda, que costumam ter dificuldade em comparecer presencialmente às urnas nos dias de semana. Esse público, em grande parte, é associado ao eleitorado democrata.
As críticas de Trump às urnas eletrônicas remontam à eleição de 2020, quando ele e seus aliados propagaram a falsa narrativa de que houve fraude eleitoral que teria favorecido o democrata Joe Biden. Apesar da ausência de provas, o discurso foi central na polarização política daquele período. Em 2024, no entanto, Trump venceu com ampla margem, sem questionamentos sobre o sistema de votação.

We are polling top Democrats on Trump’s actions in Washington, D.C., including deploying the National Guard and putting the D.C. police under his control.
Please respond now to represent Democrats in your area:
Trump is in the middle of an unprecedented power grab.
First: Trump declared there was a “public safety crisis” in Washington, D.C. – even though violent crime in the city is at a 30-year low.
Then: He deployed the National Guard in D.C. and took control of the D.C. police!
Now: Republican governors in red states are bending the knee to Trump and sending more National Guard troops to D.C.
Trump is deploying troops against U.S. citizens! We need to know how top Democrats feel about Trump as Commander in Chief. Please respond to our poll on behalf of local Democrats:
Perhaps no state better demonstrates the extreme unfairness of partisan gerrymandering than Ohio.
It wasn’t long ago that Ohio was considered the battleground state. President Obama won there in both 2008 and 2012 — but today, the state is represented in Congress by 10 Republicans and just five Democrats.
And now, state lawmakers have set their sights on Ohio to make the state even more gerrymandered with a redraw this fall — they could attempt to flip as many as three more seats.
This kind of system-rigging doesn’t happen overnight. It took years for extreme partisan interests to tip the scales in their favor, using every avenue and skirting laws and norms in the process. They’re in it for the long haul, and we must be too.
All On The Line will always fight for fair maps, no matter how difficult the path to victory. Sometimes this journey is two steps forward, one step back. But we know that the vast majority of Americans stand for fairness — and that’s why we need you with us.
Here’s a quick primer on how Ohio became a laboratory for partisan gerrymandering:
• November 2015: Ohio voters overwhelmingly pass a constitutional amendment to create the Ohio Redistricting Commission, which was intended to bring fairness into the process of creating electoral maps.
• September 2021: An entirely partisan Ohio Redistricting Commission proposes gerrymandered congressional and state legislative maps, which then get struck down by the Ohio Supreme Court.
• January 2022: Politicians pass a second set of gerrymandered state legislative maps, which get struck down by the courts again.
• February 2022: Undeterred, politicians pass a third set of state legislative maps. The courts strike them down and order Ohio to hire independent map drawers.
• March 2022: Politicians hire independent map drawers but ignore their work and plow ahead with their unconstitutional state legislative maps. Meanwhile, the politicians also passed another gerrymandered congressional map with only limited changes from the previous invalidated one.
• November 2022: Ohio elections officials use the unfair, unconstitutional maps in the midterm elections.
Because the congressional map in Ohio was passed on a purely partisan basis, it expires before the next election under a special state constitutional provision, and the Ohio Redistricting Commission must go back to work. That’s why some politicians today are dreaming that Ohio could be tipped 13-2 for Republicans in 2026.
It may seem like these extreme shifts in power happen overnight. But we know the truth: This has been a long game played by extreme partisan forces working behind the scenes and pulling every lever at their disposal.
Extremists think that they can get away with this illegal, unconstitutional gerrymandering. But that’s why All On The Line exists — to call out and fight back against these blatant attempts to seize unchecked power and silence the will of the voters.
Your support powers our movement — and we are so grateful.

Good morning! We know it’s early, but we wanted to catch you while you sip your morning coffee…
We have less than 24 hours before polls close in critical special elections in Georgia and Iowa.
And just like you may need a morning caffeine boost, state Democrats need critical resources to compete and win against MAGA extremists in elections across the country this fall, in 2026, and beyond.
With smaller staffs, budgets, and constituencies, your donation goes the furthest at the state legislative ballot level – grassroots contributions can even mean the difference between a Democratic victory or loss.
If everyone reading this email chipped in a triple-impact gift of $5, we’d close our budget shortfall and have enough fuel to compete with the millions of dollars that MAGA extremists are spending in state races.

For their brave service and tremendous sacrifices, our service members deserve our deep appreciation — especially when they are deployed for months or years at a time.
That’s why we are incredibly grateful for military supporters like you, who are vital to our mission of strengthening military families and their well-being.
Yet sadly, this was not the update we wanted to send.
We fell short of our goal to help fund at least 4,000 care packages and other critical support for service members deployed around the world.**
But because providing essential supplies and meaningful reminders of home is so important, this matching gift offer has been extended to give this community one more chance to reach the goal.
In a moment, I’m going to ask you to make a donation to my campaign for U.S. Senate against billionaire Republican Pete Ricketts here in Nebraska. But before I do, friend, please let me reiterate why your donation today is so important.
I’m not rich. I’m not a politician. I’m a blue-collar guy who was president of my local union until I was fired for leading a strike.
People like me aren’t supposed to be able to run for office – let alone U.S. Senate – and we certainly aren’t supposed to be able to win …
But last year, we almost did just that. I got 47% of the vote in one of the closest Senate races in the country. And now, I’m running again for the U.S. Senate – this time against billionaire Republican Pete Ricketts.
In the Senate, I’ll be the 51st vote to protect our democracy, the 51st vote to stop the corruption and get money out of politics and the 51st vote to stand up against the billionaires, like Ricketts, who have been screwing over working people like me for decades.
And that’s exactly why the super PACs are going to come after me twice as hard this time to try to stop us again from flipping this seat.
We need to raise $50,000 before our end-of-month deadline if we’re going to be able to fight back against the lies and win this Senate seat – but right now, we’re still short, and time’s running out.
