November, 5, 2015.

The world’s largest mining waste burst over a city, leaving over 600 people homeless and 280,000 people without any water.


The tragedy was caused by the break of a barriage which was containing 62MILLION cubic meters of mining waste, and as it broke the mud started to escape dragging down everything on its way. It took half an hour to reach the nearest community, but NO ONE helped. It continued along the way ‘till it reached Rio Doce, one of Brazil’s biggest rivers.

The mud contains metals such as iron, arsenic, barium, lead, copper, mercury, nickel, and the list is even longer. It’s needless to say the river is POISONED.
All aquatic life in the Rio Doce river has been extinguished, as the toxic waste reduces the level of oxygen to close to zero. Some fishing communities are attempting to move fish to nearby lakes. Meanwhile, the fine imposed upon Samarco is less than half the value of its donations to political campaigns in 2014.

The cities around the river have absolutely no water, no home, no food. The water gallons are being sold for R$ 30,00 or 7.79 dollars which most of the families can’t pay for it. They are stealing water from hospitals.
On this friday 5,000 people queued up for water rations in the city of Governador Valadares.
Samarco is told to be the company responsable for the tragedy, and it’s owned by BHP and VALE.  On a media pronunciation VALE said that the mud wasn’t toxic, liying to hide the very truth behind it. Scientists analyzed the water, and it has thousand times over the treatment capacity. The water will still be poisoned in 100 years from now.

The media is hidding it, they say it’s nothing to worry about.

Please share this so the world will know. WE need help.

Just to give you all an idea on how much the media is ignoring this, I live in the state this happened, Minas Gerais. And all I actually knew was that the barriage broke.
There’s been rumours the third (and only one still standing) of the dams is also cracked, but I can’t find the source of this one.
Please help us, because not even our own media will.

The Supreme Court’s ruling on marriage equality is due any day now – well, Thursday, Friday or Monday, to be precise. 

The court is considering two different questions in the marriage case, which means there are three different possible outcomes. Luckily, our pals over at Lambda Legal and HRC have created these handy infographics to show the different ways the court could rule. Lambda explains each potential legal ruling; HRC explains each potential real-world outcome. 

Here’s a text breakdown:

Question 1: Does the Constitution require states to perform same-sex marriages? 

Question 2: Does the Constitution require states to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states?

Outcome 1: Yes on 1, yes on 2. Yes on 1 automatically means yes on 2, and it means marriage equality will be legal in all 50 states. 

Outcome 2: No on 1, yes on 2. All legally married same-sex couples will have their marriages recognized in every state, but states will not be required to perform same-sex marriages.

Outcome 3: No on 1, no on 2. Laws banning same-sex marriage are upheld, same-sex couples who live in the 13 non-marriage-equality states will have no marriage rights, and some marriage equality states could actually ban same-sex marriage again. This outcome would be absolutely awful. Here is why.
