If interested, please message me. (But only if you meet the requirements above.)
Our last freelancer in Brasília was @opaulomm.bsky.social, who moved on to a full-time position with Intercept Brasil. You can see what sort of work he did with us here: www.nytimes.com/by/paulo-mot...

The work is interesting — but inconsistent.
It is not enough work or pay to sustain someone full-time, so freelancers usually find freelance work with other outlets or in other areas. (Though candidates cannot work for institutions we cover.)

"Follow all" is a good button.

Somos repórteres do New York Times que cobrem o Elon Musk e Twitter há anos, e escrevemos o livro que conta o que aconteceu nos bastidores quando Musk comprou o Twitter e o transformou no X.
Hoje nosso livro sai em português no Brasil. Compra aqui: www.amazon.com.br/dp/655692729...

Musk talvez seja a única pessoa que controla tanto uma grande rede social quanto um grande provedor de internet.
Isso pode criar o confronto definitivo entre uma empresa de tecnologia e um governo. Ele poderia tentar dar aos brasileiros acesso ao X, e o governo teria opções limitadas para reagir.

That's a good suggestion. It was strange to me at first, too, but now I've become so used to it. I'll clarify in the next piece.

The U.S. Supreme Court largely just decides questions of constitutionality.
Brazil's Supreme Court does that — and also handles thousands of other cases and, in some ways, can even open and authorize investigations. Their sessions are televised and the justices have become celebrities as a result.

I don't have an explainer like that, but I can offer this profile I wrote on Alexandre de Moraes, the Supreme Court justice at the center of the debate. nyti.ms/479XMFs
It hopefully will explain that Brazil's Supreme Court is very different, and in some ways, even more powerful than in the U.S.

Yesterday Musk shared a post on X that lauded him for his Starlink donations to the 19,000 schools (which never actually happened).

The best anecdote from this story: When Musk launched Starlink in Brazil, he flew to São Paulo to meet Bolsonaro and said they were giving internet to 19,000 schools.
That plan never happened. “I don’t really think that it even existed,” Anatel's president, Carlos Baigorri, told me.
