Writing to share that Im the new Director of the International Institute in Spain (Miguel Angel 8, Madrid). It’s a special place founded in 1892 to advance women’s education in Spain. Very tied to the Institución Libre de Enseñanza. US-Spain educational and cultural connections are our thing.

Claudia Sheinbaum, Presidenta de México, sobre Ayuso: "El gobierno mexicano solo reconoce como interlocutor de España a su Presidente del Gobierno y su gabinete. Esa señora no representa a España, solo a una parte medio trasnochada de España que busca amigos entre otros trasnochados aquí, en México"

Reírse del español de AOC, incluso del de Mamdani, es prueba inequívoca de haberse tragado cómo se vende en España lo “hispano/latino” como derivada directa de eso que llaman la “Hispanidad”, amén de creer que el único español válido es el de España. Y, una vez más, desconocer la realidad de USA.

The experience of this winter in Colorado is so jarring, watching everywhere get cold and snowy and here it just feels like a warm desert with zero precipitation and like Spring weather and knowing we’re gonna have no water and the climate apocalypse is here and like time to get on the Axiom.
The Axiom, the ship from the movie Wall-E.

DHS is building a network of death camps around the country often in secret, violating public safety/health codes, & despite resident objections. “If they are going to house people there, it is a death camp. I don’t say that lightly,” said AZ Sen. Analise Ortiz. “ shorturl.at/J0Qn0

MAP: All 23 industrial warehouses ICE wants to turn into detention ‘death camps’
In an apparent attempt to avoid public outcry and scrutiny, ICE has sought to secure these leases in private. So we made a searchable map of every proposed site.

If it is not clear, they are arresting Black activists & journalists b/c they can’t deport them legally & state terror can serve a dual purpose of chilling dissent & labeling Black folks as rioters (read-anti nationals)./1 A 🧵 showing how this worked in India from 2014-2019.

Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.
