Another amazing Brazilian scientist, Dr. Mariangela Hungria, a microbiologist at Embrapa's soybean research center, spent decades studying bacteria that pull nitrogen from the air and feed it to plants. The result: Brazil went from importing nitrogen fertilizer to becoming the world's largest soybean exporter — using microbes instead of chemicals. Her work won the 2025 World Food Prize. But the real prize is the 40% reduction in synthetic fertilizer use across Brazilian agriculture. This isn't just about soybeans. It's about a different model of agriculture: partner with biology instead of dominating it. The Global South has something to teach the world here


ICE grabs father by the neck—send him into violent seizure while his arms lock up around his toddler. "He's having seizure and they're trying to rip the baby out of his hands!" Agents then handcuff him—before putting in ambulance with his child. Mother is detained by agents as the original target of arrest during the traffic stop—according to witnesses. "They kept saying we're going to put your kid in state custody if you don’t comply... so in the end she decided for the safety of my kid I'm just gonna go." "I was crying on and off every time I got an angle where I saw the kid. I started crying more because the baby was so confused." The incident occurred in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. #DemsUnited
