Agreed. No travel to the USA for personal or professional reasons since February 2025. And who knows when I would ever go back?! “I ask all Canadian academics to join me and many others to refrain from going to the U.S. for professional reasons until this trade war is over. “

Multiple deportation flights continue each day to Guatemala, but the number of deportees continues to fall behind what was seen in 2024. According to the Guatemalan Immigration Institute, there have been 20,016 people deported as of Thursday, May 7. There were an average of 4,825 deported since Jan.

It is so disappointing to see that the government of Pres. Bernardo Arévalo is winding down the Cuban doctors program. Cuban doctors provided much needed medical attention in rural communities that were often abandoned by the state. This also hands the far-right a victory they've sought for years.

This is all illegal and creates serious instability throughout the Americas. Removing a head of state by military force not authorized by Congress and claiming that the US will take over and run the country is colonialism that is illegal even by the aggressor country’s own standards.

Great story by my friend John Washington who interviewed Rosalina Tuyuc, who is one of the greatest advocates for finding the disappeared in Guatemala and a wonderful person. And funny story, I lived next to the San Juan Comalapa cemetery for two years. My black cat, Paxil, was the cemetery cat.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.
