Artigo meu e do Anderson Frey publicado ontem na Folha: www1.folha.uol.com.br/opiniao/2025...

My first thought was that the “gentleman” was Bolsonaro, but on twitter, the Brazilian reporter asking the question is skeptical; thinks Trump was referring to someone else. She (Raquel Krähenbühl) followed up with Leavitt the next day, who said she wasn’t aware of any call btw the two.

"Part of the footage from officers’ body cameras during the major operation may have been lost due to low battery, says Military Police secretary."

Gruesome details from the massive police operation yesterday in Rio continue to surface: “The [beheaded] body had their fist closed, holding grass.” www1.folha.uol.com.br/cotidiano/20...

Word of caution: the push to win votes on the pervasive anti-corruption sentiment in Latin America did not go well. OC is different, but likely the Dems would end up carried away by the anti-establishment wave (the PSDB - major national player in Brazil since 1994 is all but gone)

I love how the federal police uncovered russian assets with the bread and butter of social science in Brazil: merging inconsistent datasets.

Why is Brazil's national squad so bad? Are we just better at retaining talent? (These are Libertadores champions.)

maybe i should had been a financial analyst after all bsky.app/profile/bert...

So from my uniquely weird perspective after living in the UK through Brexit, being in India during Modi's demonetization, and living in Brazil when the real tanked during the Bolsonaro administration, I can confidentally say that Americans do not and can not understand how bad this is going to be.

I am no financial analyst but when DJT sees this swing over a rumor, he will make the rumor true.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I am not sure if back in 1992 we were calling the autogolpe in Peru a “constitutional crisis” but I am sure this is not another example of American exceptionalism.

I think of this whenever some conservative finds some supposedly wacky research topic that government grants pay for

it reads like a parody.

Gift link. The actual story of the shackled people being deported without even being told where they were being taken — maybe to countries where they’d face torture or death — while their terrified children cried.😢 The White House posted that pic with “ASMR” tag. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

de longe a coisa mais engraçada que eu li nos últimos 39 anos

Considering what is happening in the US, this is no small feat.

I have had previous issues with Polity about how they do their coding of the UK and the US and I’m afraid I’m similarly skeptical this time about the change. If they are coding the US as dropping to 1 out of 7 on constraints on the executive, on the basis of three weeks of unified govt, I’m dubious.

Today, I wrote about the Founders, about their faith, and about the history of the Episcopal Church in the USA. I posted it on Vichy Facebook, and it was immediately removed as spam. There is no free speech on any platform owned by an oligarch. tompepinsky.com/2025/01/22/w...

Achei engraçado em "Ainda Estou Aqui" começar com uma tela preta e o texto: "Dezembro de 1970 Durante a ditadura militar" Será que pensaram que depois de duas horas de um filme *sobre* autoritarismo, tortura e desaparecimento, alguém poderia sair do cinema na dúvida se era ditadura?

Very much looking forward to read this!

Well played.
