The moment when Brazil’s riots began.

We obtained this stunning video showing how police were severely outnumbered and how protesters easily broke the single line of defense.

Our story on the security lapses in Brazil’s capital that led to the invasion: nyti.ms/3GVISHw Here's our deep look into how security was so lacking at a protest that had promised to be so violent.

My takeaway from Sunday’s riots in Brazil:

Latin American democracies have long been threatened by strongman rulers and militaries hungry for power.

Brazil, however, faces a more insidious, deeply rooted threat: mass delusion.
nyti.ms/3ZzNwlQ I spent this morning with right-wing protesters vacating the encampment at the Army HQ.

Many admitted to invading Congress and the Supreme Court.

Yet all agreed that the damage had only been caused by leftist radicals disguised as Bolsonaristas.

Here are some of whom I met:

NEWS: After 34 years, The New York Times will no longer call Lula

*Mr. da Silva.*

After much internal discussion, we have decided he will now be, yes:

𝐌𝐫. 𝐋𝐮𝐥𝐚. The first time our pages called him Mr. da Silva on second reference was in November 1988, almost exactly 34 years ago.

It's been like that since.

Fraud claims are flying around Brazil's election -- and they're suddenly being fueled by a report from Brazil's military.

Experts say the report is technically sound. How it's being interpreted is not.

My story lays it out. But I'll explain the basics 🧵
nyti.ms/3hlpk4O To start, let me first be very clear.

Government officials, independent security experts and now the armed forces have reviewed the results of last week's election and made a clear determination:

*There is no credible evidence of voter fraud.*

Period.

Nossa equipe no New York Times mapeou os esforços de Bolsonaro nos últimos 8 anos para lançar dúvidas sobre o sistema eleitoral do Brasil.

Agora podemos ver, em suas próprias palavras, como ele minou a fé do público em uma das maiores democracias do mundo nytimes.com/interactive/20… Vasculhamos centenas de horas de vídeo e milhares de postagens.

Descobrimos que, assim como Trump, Bolsonaro construiu uma narrativa de eleições fraudulentas com base em imprecisões, relatórios fora de contexto, evidências circunstanciais, teorias da conspiração e falsidades.

NUEVO: En los últimos ocho años, el presidente Jair Bolsonaro ha sembrado dudas sobre el sistema de votación de Brasil. Ahora verán, en sus propias palabras, cómo socavó la confianza del público en una de las mayores democracias del mundo. Aquí la nota: nytimes.com/es/interactive… Revisamos cientos de horas de video y miles de publicaciones.

Y descubrimos que, al igual que Trump, Bolsonaro ha construido un relato de elecciones fraudulentas basado en inexactitudes, informes fuera de contexto, evidencia circunstancial, teorías de conspiración y falsedades.

NEW: We mapped President Jair Bolsonaro's efforts over the past eight years to cast doubt on Brazil's voting system.

Now you can see, in his own words, how he has undermined the public's faith in one of the world's largest democracies.

Here is our story:
nytimes.com/interactive/20… We combed through hundreds of hours of video and thousands of posts.

And we found that, much like Trump, Bolsonaro has built a narrative of fraudulent elections based on inaccuracies, out-of-context reports, circumstantial evidence, conspiracy theories and downright falsehoods.

Oi. Sou Jack, correspondente do New York Times. Duas semanas atrás, escrevi tchutchuca no New York Times. Hoje escrevi imbrochável.

(Fui de “never limp”.)

Escrevi mais aqui sobre o desafio de traduzir tchutchuca.

Felizmente a mente brilhante @ruivanorio me ajudou com ambas palavras.

Sé que muchas personas en toda América Latina han estado siguiendo con interés lo sucedido con Bruno Pereira y Dom Phillips.

Aquí tienen mi informe desde la Amazonía brasileña, ahora en español.
nytimes.com/es/interactive… La historia inicia en 2019, cuando Bruno Pereira, alto funcionario del gobierno brasileño en materia de tribus indígenas, dirigió una operación en la Amazonía para hallar y destruir 60 bases de minería ilegal.

Como respuesta, el flamante gobierno de Bolsonaro lo degradó.

A British journalist and a Brazilian activist traveled deep into the Amazon rainforest to document illegal poaching.

Then, they vanished.

I retraced the men's journey down the Itaquaí River to understand what happened. Here is that story: nytimes.com/interactive/20… Let's start in 2019, when Bruno Pereira, a top Brazilian government official on Indigenous tribes, helped lead an operation into the Amazon to find 60 illegal-mining bases and set each one on fire.

In response, the brand new Bolsonaro administration demoted him.

Russia and Ukraine account for 30% of the world’s wheat exports, 17% of corn, 32% of barley & 75% of sunflower seed oil. Russia also exports about 15% of the world's fertilizer.

Now all of that food and fertilizer are stuck.

My story on a looming crisis:
nytimes.com/2022/03/20/wor… Some more worrisome stats:

Since Russia invaded Ukraine, wheat prices have increased by 21%, barley by 33% and some fertilizers by 40%.

The UN said the war's impact on the food market could cause another 7.6 million to 13.1 million people to go hungry.

SCOOP: A Maryland couple was arrested last year for trying to sell American nuclear secrets to a foreign nation.

For months, that country has been a secret. Then we figured it out.

It was Brazil.

w/ @julianbarnes, @andrespigariol & @adamgoldmanNYT:
nytimes.com/2022/03/15/us/… @julianbarnes @andrespigariol @adamgoldmanNYT But the couple's plan backfired. When the U.S. Navy engineer sent a letter to Brazil offering classified documents, Brazilian officials passed it to the FBI.

Then the FBI posed as a Brazilian official -- with the help of Brazil. nytimes.com/2022/03/15/us/…

Falei com @monark sobre seus comentários problemáticos – e as consequências.

“Não sou nazista”, ele me disse. “Por favor escrevam que vocês perceberam que eu não sou nada disso.”

Hoje, no New York Times:
nytimes.com/2022/02/13/wor… Como estadunidense, fiquei surpreso com a semelhança entre Monark e Joe Rogan. Os dois são talvez os podcasters mais ouvidos nos países deles. Fazem entrevistas por horas. Às vezes ficam chapados durante. E estão agora no meio de controvérsias sobre seus comentários.

NEW: Brazil's president has already begun claiming fraud in next year's elections. He's had some help from the U.S.

Fresh off disputing the 2020 election, Donald Trump and his allies are exporting their strategy to Latin America’s largest democracy.
nytimes.com/2021/11/11/wor… To understand this, let's examine what transpired in Brazil over just a few days in September.

On Sept. 4, more than 1,000 conservatives attended CPAC Brasil, a conference organized by President Bolsonaro's son, Eduardo, & the American Conservative Union.

I really disagree with the framing around the tech press tonight that Apple's new settlement with developers represents a big concession.

I don't see how this changes much. Some companies pretty much already do what Apple says it is suddenly allowing.
nytimes.com/2021/08/27/tec… An Apple exec told reporters tonight that it was a huge concession that Apple will now let companies tell people in emails that they can buy their services outside their apps.

But Apple will still ban them from telling people that in the app itself.

Here's the current policy.

So here's a funny, feel-good story.

In 2019, I wrote an essay for the @nytimes defending the widely ridiculed Oakland Coliseum.

nytimes.com/2019/10/02/spo… In it, I called the Coliseum "baseball's last dive bar."

The piece went mildly viral in the baseball and Bay Area corners of the internet.

🚨NEW: Apple is jeopardizing its Chinese users’ data and augmenting the Chinese government’s censorship to placate authorities and keep its business running.

Here is our multiyear investigation into Apple's Faustian bargain in China: nytimes.com/2021/05/17/tec… Let’s start in Guiyang, a city in southwestern China where a building a quarter-mile long has the flags of Apple and China flying out front.

Inside, Apple is preparing to store its Chinese users' data on computers owned and run by the Chinese government.

The Senate is holding a hearing right now on Apple and Google's power over apps.

Apple's Kyle Andeer just gave some misleading testimony. He said Apple's commission is "almost always" 15% -- not 30%.

Yet: 95% of Apple's app revenue comes from developers that pay the 30% rate. To be sure: 98% of apps that pay a commission are subject to the lower rate. But nearly all of the money Apple earns on the app store comes from larger companies paying the higher rate.

Two members of Congress, @RepAnnaEshoo & @Malinowski, just sent well-researched letters to the CEOs of Facebook, Google, YouTube and Twitter, urging them to fix their algorithms that promote conspiracy theories and push people to political extremes.

The letters to FB and Google: And here's the letter to @jack:

Breaking: Apple just pulled the Parler app.

Apple said Parler is allowing too many posts that encourage violence and crimes. This follows a similar move from Google yesterday.

Parler was one of the fastest-growing apps in the U.S., but now its future is in question. Here's our full story: nytimes.com/2021/01/09/tec…

Today's attempted coup in Congress began with Trump saying "If you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore," and then telling the crowd to head to the Capitol to give Republican lawmakers the message. Don't forget the president's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, calling for "trial by combat" moments before.
