Over the past two years, @danielbeland.bsky.social and I have published four pieces exploring how ideas shape social policy — from conceptual foundations to reform and pedagogy.
This thread walks through them:

Há 5 anos um grupo de figuras do que era então o centro-direita moderado publicava um abaixo-assinado contra a deriva nacionalista e identitária. Alguns deles são hoje ministros da República. Como podem conviver, em silêncio, com estas declarações… eu não percebo.
