The one political event that gives me some hope. Looking forward to the good news! www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

Lula’s approval and the exchange rate — the strongest domestic predictor of voting behavior in our models. Turns out, it’s still the economy, stupid.

Criminals

Thugs.

Netanyahu equates Palestinians with Hamas in a way that, if done to Jews, would be called antisemitism. There should be a name for that.

It is very annoying to see world media so easily replace ‘agreement’ with ‘deal.’ Words matter; politics is not business.

Same old, same old... www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/u...

What happens while Trump brags about Aberbaijan

First law firms, then universities, now the media and NGOs. Those who lived in dictatorships know so well where this takes.

Aberbaijan and Albania, right? No wonder Trump and Bolsonaro get along so well.

The deterioration becomes more evident with each passing day.

GENOCIDE - "Indiscriminate bombardment making Gaza uninhabitable, the blocking of humanitarian aid, sexual and gender-based violence and a siege we concluded was designed to starve the population to death." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/o...

Elegant, clear, uncompromising. A must-read if you’ve been tracking Trump’s attacks on Brazilian democracy. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/o...

@ezrakleinbot.bsky.social could have written the exact same piece and still resist the temptation of calling Kirk’s stance ‘good politics.’ Good politics is about substantive proposals, not reinforcing minority stereotypes or fueling hate speech. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...

Free speech includes the right to criticize hate speech. Ironically, the same voices applauding Kirk’s readiness to debate are now seeking to silence his critics.

Yes, Mr Trump, the Brazilian democracy did to Bolsonaro what the American failed to do to you -- punish wanna-be dictators.

Great day for Brazilian democracy!

I wonder how aware Americans are about Trump's unabashed attack on Brazil's democracy.

Quintessencial colonial mentality, and the irrelevance of palestinian pain. What a disappointment. open.spotify.com/episode/3n5O...

Is this still a democracy? Whoever lived under autocratic regimes knows it is not. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...

I am pleased to announce the launch of Democracy Lighthouse, a new research and publications platform for all those interested in addressing global threats to democracy. Visit democracylighthouse.com and follow @DemoLighthouse for more.

This is all very depressing... Columbia's settlement with Trump's government.

Kim Jong Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/07/22/c...

Regardless of political leanings, his leadership remains uncontested.

Cold-blooded assassins www.nytimes.com/2025/07/20/w...

This is so freaking obvious, yet so far from Trump's approach to China. Outstandind article about US moving forward and not backward in its competition with the country. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/14/o...

Senile or just plain ignorant? edition.cnn.com/2025/07/09/w...

After the letter to Lula, Mohammed bin Salman must be trembling — Trump’s defense of democracy abroad knows no bounds.

"Lula wants to tax the rich, Bolsonaro wants to tax Brazil." Best gift to Lula, excellent timing. Thanks, Mr. Trump.

Trump once again shows he doesn’t understand how democracies work — Bolsonaro is being tried by the Judiciary, not the Executive. Even if Lula had a say, this kind of letter leaves him no choice but to call the bluff. Xi Jinping says thanks.

Here’s Trump, playing macho with Lula but a pussycat with Putin. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Outsourcing torture to El Salvador does not make America any less responsible for that. Criminals. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/02/u...

@economist.com surprisingly lost in its interpretation of Lula’s foreign policy. Completely missing the point. Brazil’s president is losing clout abroad and unpopular at home economist.com/the-americas... from The Economist

Sally Rooney nails it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

What does one do for the rest of the day after reading an article like this one? Very hard times to live. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The same president that dares to declare "the ocean has a fever. (...)This ‘fever’ is a red alert underscoring the urgent need to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, the main cause of global warming and the degradation of marine ecosystems." What a shame. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Appalled, and sad for a democracy that was once respected. www.nytimes.com/video/us/pol...

Excellent article, worth the read www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Been there, seen that. Brazilians know where this ends. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Academic dystopia.

The plan is clear: kill as many Palestinians as necessary, force the rest to 'relocate,' and occupy their land as if they were never there. The brilliant "Book of Disappearance" (Ibtisam Azem, 2019) has never felt more relevant. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

What kind of human being can possibly support that?

For Netanyahu, in the so-called "war of civilization against barbarism", civilization means the starvation of civilians. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/w...

Brave resistance from Israelis to the genocide of the Palestinian people. Highly recommended. open.spotify.com/episode/0x4c...
