'Backsliding is a stable “intermediate” or “hybrid” regime in which the government maintains the appearances of democracy, tolerates some opposition, and holds elections... As I see it, Trump is not backsliding, he is taking steps to a full-fledged autocracy'. --Adam Przeworski @adamprz.bsky.social

There is a line of thinking in the U.S. political and judicial world today that I really can't understand. Some experts suggest that courts shouldn't rule against the executive branch because if Trump doesn't accept the ruling, a dangerous constitutional crisis would follow.

Trump quebrou o monopólio da direita brasileira sobre a bandeira nacional. Agora, a "PEC da bandidagem" dá à esquerda oportunidade para se reaproximar do discurso anti-corrupção e da agenda da segurança pública.

In this piece, I've put together some new reflections on historical events. If I were more pollemically inclined, I might have called it "Probing the Limits of Explanation". Let this be a social media version of the title. #philhist #Historiography #History

This week we lost Estevão Martins, a giant in Brazilian theory/philosophy of history. His loss is deeply felt by our historiographical community and me personally. He was the best academic supervisor you could have and great friend. May he rest in peace.

I feel that with the results of the US election we have crossed some sort of historical tipping point. The world as a whole is definitively further away from the democratic and liberal constellation that has underpinned public life as many know and value it.

A Justiça, criminal e eleitoral, precisa se debruçar com rapidez e firmeza sobre os crimes de P. Marçal. Sem dúvida, isso será menos complicado agora que ele está fora da disputa. Sendo condenado e perdendo direitos políticos, quem chorará por ele? O establishment bolsonarista certamente não.
