I do mean this because so far international media has done an extremely poor job of reporting on the extraordinary events of the past three weeks. And they should do a good job because what happened here is meaningful for democracies worldwide.

Our internal audience is so huge that Brazilian journalists are largely focused on producing content in Portuguese, and justifiably so, but it generates a kind of isolation and important translation issues.

Foi uma luta linda! Desde as diretas já não assistíamos a uma mobilização tão forte do campo democrático e progressista brasileiro. Não, aqui nesta eleição, a Meta não levou! Tentou, mas não levou! As bets não levaram, Trump não ganhou, as milícias perderam, o crime organizado perdeu, o mercado não ditou o rumo, os grandes empresários egoistas perderam. @LulaOficial ganhou, a democracia ganhou, a soberania e os programas que ajudam o povo ganharam. Parabéns @LulaOficial ! Parabéns ao campo democrático e progressista que se mobilizou e foi a luta. Parabéns @AndreJanonesMG , que organizou nosso exército nas redes sociais, potencializando nossa atuação. Parabéns a todos(as) que foram às ruas, que pediram e viraram votos! Principalmente os jovens, os estudantes deste país! Esse movimento potente construído no segundo turno não pode parar. Lula terá que governar com participação popular constante para enfrentar a extrema direita, que vai atuar forte pra desestabilizar e impor sua força no Congresso Nacional. Terá de ser um governo muito diferente, de resistência e enfrentamento para defender a democracia e os direitos populares. O bolsonarismo, face brasileira do fascismo, não dará trégua e vai tentar impor seu projeto. Não podemos relaxar. Temos a obrigação histórica de barrar o retrocesso, e isso só será possível com muita mobilização popular. Sigamos organizados e alertas, com determinação e fé, pela democracia soberana do nosso país, pelo povo brasileiro 🇧🇷🍀

Against scandalous interference from big tech, and against a coalition of militias, gangs, prediction markets and foreign actors, the Brazilian people prevailed. Brazil is the bastion of global democracy. We project a civilizational ideal for all of humanity. It’s possible 💛💚🇧🇷

Wonderful synthesis of our housing debate work, covering the issue native publics design and uncommon ground analysis!
1/ The YIMBY–NIMBY housing debate is one of the sharpest political pain points in cities today, and one where conventional consultation can take months/years while reproducing the same divisions. What makes this work by @RadxChange especially striking is the combination of speed and methodological innovation.

4/ Second is her development of @audreyt’s idea of “Uncommon Ground” into a method for identifying issues where the usual political camps lose their predictive power. Uncommon Ground goes beyond looking for consensus between opposing camps. Instead, it searches for questions that cut across the usual divide (in other words, issues on which people within each camp are themselves divided). Those cross-cutting disagreements may reveal possibilities for new coalitions that the dominant YIMBY–NIMBY framing obscures.

3/ For those working in computational democracy, it’s also worth highlighting two innovations @_paulaberman brought to the process. First is her design of “issue-native publics.” Start with people already deeply engaged in a contested issue (here, activists on both sides of Sydney’s density debate) rather than beginning only with a representative sample. Instead of treating highly engaged participants simply as a representativeness problem, issue-native publics treat their fluency in the debate as an asset: map the arguments with people who know the conflict from the inside, then test what emerges with a representative public.

We partnered with AMPLIFY Australia to put ⿻ plural tech to the test on one of the most entrenched debates in Australian public life: Sydney's density fight. Beyond NIMBY vs YIMBY, what we found is that even the most engaged partisans hold conditions the other side can meet. Check the key findings 👉 radicalxchange.org/density-d… 🧵

This may be the work that has come out of @RadxChange that I am most proud of. Everyone interested in the issues of "abundance" set of issues (@mishachellam @ezraklein @mattyglesias @DKThomp @ProfTortuga @dsallentess @SlaughterAM @rosical) should see.

So happy this is out in the world! This is a dream plurality process, using a sophisticated design and all the very best tools available - pol.is, Quadratic Voting, AI moderated small group deliberations - to work on a deeply entrenched debate.
