Last night, Sen. Flavio Bolsonaro called a vigil at his father's mansion. At 12:08 AM, Jair Bolsonaro tried to remove his ankle monitor. The Fed. Police, suspecting he planned to flee to an embassy, arrested him. Read my article on this below.

Hi everyone. Reactivating twitter to share this

I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA at the end of last week because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests

I arrived back in Melbourne on Sat 6am and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

Democracy in Latin America

@Raul_L_Madrid's new book on the origins of democracy in South America has just been published - and we're lucky that it's open access.

A highly recommended read.

I’m published today in @folha, Brazil’s paper of record.

I argue against the motion that organised crime in Brazil be re-classified as ‘terrorism’.

In the other ‘corner’, Cláudio Castro, the Governor of Rio de Janeiro, argues for the motion.

New (Open Access) work!

Wrote about how a "sacred geography" is shaped through sites, routes and neighbourhoods, and how one can read the recent outreach by Kerala BJP leaders to the Christian community.
