This week I’ve started writing a short book about Foro de SΓ£o Paulo, connecting the end of the Cold War in Latin America to the region’s current political tumult. Feels cool and good.

What Brazil's president did instead of joining Trump's 'Board of Peace' Lula is prioritizing multilateralism β€” and new markets β€” ahead of October's election

Surely this president will stop at Venezuela. No other Latin American capital need worry. Just let him have this and no more actions will follow. All is fine.

I don’t necessarily endorse shopping on the Zon, but if you are so compelled there are only 3 copies of my book left in paperback. Recommended if you’re interested in Lula and the twentieth-century evolution of leftist politics in Latin America’s largest nation!

Lula’s Unfinished Democracy - Dissent Magazine The Brazilian president once argued that democracy will founder where inequality reigns. Today, he sees fighting inequality as democracy’s animating mission.

From working-class unionist under dictatorship to three-term president, Lula da Silva’s journey reflects Brazil’s uneasy balance between procedural democracy and deep inequality. Below essay by β€ͺβ€ͺAndre Pagliarini @apagliar.bsky.social tracing the rise of Lula's pragmatic leftism.

Lula and Trump’s Backstage Breakthrough The apparent thaw between the two leaders is a reminder of why the U.N. still matters.

No other way to put it than to note that this is just the craziest speech I’ve ever seen a US president deliver in a setting like this
