    So this was a long time in the making and I got help from many many smart people including ’s amazing digital design team. It’s long, not gonna lie, but hope you’ll read because it’s a story about all our future( and there are some splinters of hope at the end)

    The Globe in Brazil: travelled 2,000 kms along a dusty, dangerous highway that cuts a path through the country's conflicting ambitions: to transform itself into an economic powerhouse & to preserve the Amazon as a bulwark against climate change.

    Interesting comments by on how Mexico has astutely managed the difficult relationship with Trump. The hubub about the caravan is a good example.

    Good luck not weeping at ’s update on Triste, whose asylum hearing is today.

    A teenager went public this week with his story of informing on his gang, MS-13, and being marked for deportation in return. He's been flooded with offers of help. His FBI handler has agreed to testify. In a few hours, a judge will decide his fate.

    I'd imagine the PT leadership is hugely relieved that the stinking albatross of an on-off Lula candidacy has conveniently been removed by the STF and the party can now safely nominate an alternative who will receive the support of the martyr and kingmaker, Lula. A healthy outcome

    Except Bolsonaro loses an immense amount of his appeal (to the biz community, to conservatives who aren’t extremist) if he’s not the “block Lula” vote. This ruling hurts Bolsonaro’s chances too, I’d argue

    The court decision in Brazil likely ends Lula's hopes of running in presidential election he would have won. This also propels other candidates to the front of the pack, including a right-wing former army captain, Jair Bolsonaro

    ruling comes at moment of profound political polarization in Brazil; delights + enrages equal parts of the population. But even some Lula admirers welcome decision as blow against impunity of the powerful + boost to Lava Jato

    Brazil's Supreme Court has rejected a habeas corpus plea from former-president Lula, clearing the way for him to be jailed imminently.

    except - maybe not! Nothing like an after-midnight plot twist

    After a long, long vote, Celso de Mello evens the score: 5x5 on ruling of Lula's habeas corpus. Now it's up to Supreme Court President Carmen Lucia

    Wow, I’ve seen/heard a lot of MLK footage but this is the first time I’ve seen this interview. How profound this is.

    I’m in Oaxaca, where the migrant caravan is camped out in a sports field. This is not a marauding army. It’s largely families with kids.

    She spoke for an hour, no one really understood what she was saying, but now it's official: Rosa Weber voted against habeas corpus for Lula. If rest of the court votes as expected, he could be behind bars within days.

    Rosa Weber vota contra o pedido de habeas corpus para Lula. Se os demais ministros votarem como previsto e nenhum cometer o tresloucado gesto de pedir vista, acabou! Será 6 x 5 contra Lula.

    Or alternatively read what Gilmar himself said in an interview 2 days ago: 3d sentence.

    Read what says about the intrigue around whether Lula goes to jail or not. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

    The Brazilian Supreme everyone was waiting for -- the judge who could tip the penalty shootout one way or other -- has been speaking for 15 minutes. So far no one has a clue which way she's leaning on immediate prison or not for Lula.

    Interesting thread for and about white people in SA.

    I'm thinking something through here and I'm going to share it (thread) even though I suspect it's going to get my face shredded. It's about the really visceral reactions I've seen from some white South Africans in the wake of Winnie Madikizela-Mandela's death.

    Brazil intrigue footnote: Mendes loathes Lula, but if he can establish a precedent by keeping Lula out of jail, it potentially helps many of his friends in high places who could find themselves convicted imminently

    Judge Gilmar Mendes is voting after a long debate on whether today's ruling applies to everyone or just Lula. Mendes signals he'll vote to grant habeas corpus

    I have to say, as dysfunctional as people often say Brazil is, it is somehow refreshing to see the Supreme Court debates live. Most Americans have never seen a Supreme Court debate, only extreme legal nerds like me. Here's the Lula debate live:

    For Brazil politics nerds, highly recommend this visit by to the "underwhelming property with an overwhelming role in Brazil’s modern political history" - Lula's notorious beachfront apartment, slowly being reclaimed by nature
