I wrote about the eastern Kentucky floods, the destruction of the @Appalshop art and culture center, and what it means to rebuild entire communities when 1,000-year floods aren’t 1,000-year floods anymore.

Brazil’s exports rose 7% in September even as shipments to the US plummeted again. Exports to Argentina, China and other markets are blunting the impact of Trump’s tariffs, while the levies drive higher coffee prices for American consumers. https://t.co/LFzdqsB87a

SOUTHSIDE CHICAGO — Windy City residents run off immigration agents to save a man mid-abduction at 63rd and Kostner Ave.

Facing a coup attempt trial, Bolsonaro "has only himself to blame for the fate that awaits him," @JPSpinetto says. If he'd governed with some restraint, he might've won in 2022. If he'd accepted his loss, he may be favored in 2026. Instead...

Piaui spent days with Eduardo Bolsonaro as he lobbied the US to help his father, ex-President Jair Bolsonaro, avoid prison in Brazil. "He is obsessed with deploying every possible weapon against Brazil, whether political or economic, no matter the cost."

Six months ago, Eduardo Bolsonaro took leave from Brazil’s Congress and moved to the US with a clear goal: Convince Donald Trump to help save his father, Jair Bolsonaro, from prison. He’s gotten more than he bargained for, and none of what he wanted most https://t.co/RIRl6VIZDn

It's very good to see Brazil & Mexico getting together But as I wrote recently for @opinion, the strategic differences between both countries are just too significant https://t.co/wNaT74xI4K

Chile’s financial market is preparing for the victory of ultra-conservative candidate Jose Antonio Kast in presidential elections, unfazed by the rise of a communist contender in the ruling alliance, a monthly survey shows.

This seems like the big headline. Those two strong post-tariff jobs reports may have been a total mirage

Markets red around the world. First time in awhile tariff headlines seem to have mattered

Trump blinks on Brazil tariffs: Delay of trade levies and exemptions for key products validate Lula’s defiant approach, at least for now. Lula approval, meanwhile, rises above 50% for first time this year.

Trump’s strategy has not only produced the Carney effect in Brazil (of making the government more popular, while weakening the MAGA-aligned opposition), but will almost inevitably reduce U.S. influence in Brazil in the long term

Breathtaking reporting and storytelling here from @falamarina & @terrence_mccoy on the horrors workers experienced on a Volkswagen-owned farm in the Amazon rainforest, and the priest who's worked to expose them.

Trump's antagonism toward Brazil is backfiring — and rejuvenating Lula

Dom Phillips would have turned 61 years young today. One way to honor him is by purchasing his book published posthumously: "How to Save the Amazon: A journalist’s fatal quest for answers" https://t.co/F3EKlmJ357
