Quick Glance: Brazil's Lula Recognizes Two More Indigenous Lands, Postpones Four Others
- Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva officially recognized two more Indigenous territories on Thursday, but decided not to sign off on four others because they still need to be cleared by people currently occupying them.

- Lula has recognized 10 Indigenous territories since taking office in January 2023 for his third non-consecutive term.
- He stated that some state governors had asked for more time to resolve the issue, and acknowledged that his decision might frustrate some Indigenous people, but he needs to be cautious and provide them with alternative solutions.

Quick Glance: Elon Musk and the Support of Far-Right in Brazil
- A court in Brazil is planning an investigation against X owner Elon Musk for alleged obstruction of justice, following Musk's reactivation of accounts belonging to far-right individuals that were flagged by the Brazilian government for removal.
