I tried very hard yesterday to find something in the reporting on Ceuta that was better than just feeding the basic instincts and fears of invasion

My colleague Cova Meseguer (ICADE) and I really like this paper published a little over a year ago in Global Networks. Cova thinks we were ahead of our time 💡— the paper examines #deportations to #LatinAmerica and #publicopinion toward the U.S. Read here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Compared to 137 or so illegal and arbitrary executions that’s of course not the the main issue but wtf: Once the men were on the patrol boat, the US personnel boarded the fishing boat and stole the crew’s food and the beer, Palacios said.

During Easter processions at Lake Atitlán, you’ll meet Maximón — originally a Maya deity who often takes on the role of Judas Iscariot. He also drinks, smokes, and has a thing for neckties.

“With the U.S. not just unwilling but unable to underwrite any order, it’s Trumpian anarchy. There is a sudden vacuum in the world order, while Trump wields diminished U.S. military and diplomatic power wildly, with no constraints.”

reminder if not evident: US backed coups in Latin America haven't usually led to periods of democratic transitions and stabiliy, and neither did they usually have that intention (e.g. Guatemala 1954; Brazil 1964; Dominican Rep. 1965; Chile 1973; etc.)

“Gaza is a turning point that lays bare the full range and cruel depths of the contemporary world’s contradictions ... It exposes what is fundamentally wrong today: a persistent inability to recognize every human being as equal and deserving of dignity and life.”
