Trump has openly admired El Salvador’s modern high-security prisons. But in most of the country’s prisons, the conditions are appalling, and the death rate among inmates is rising. My contribution to the latest issue of @d-and-c.bsky.social. dandc.eu/en/article/e...

“Many of us changed the way we communicate via phones, not only with our sources, but with our families.” This is how journalist @petizagavarrete.bsky.social described the harms from being targeted with spyware. Epistemic rights help explain such attacks: www.openglobalrights.org/epistemic-ri...

Must-read by @petizagavarrete.bsky.social in @dissentmag.bsky.social. Much of this will sounds familiar to US readers, given that Bukele's state of exception has served as a model for Trump and the global right's authoritarian agenda.

In Bukele’s #ElSalvador, he is the only person who is above the law. The road ahead is long. Even the first step—telling the truth—is officially considered a crime. My contribution for the latest @dissentmag.bsky.social, a powerful issue that comes out today. www.dissentmagazine.org/article/a-pe...

One cannot talk about peace when that peace is obtained through a climate of fear, silencing and persecuting any dissidence. Or if it is constructed on systematic human rights violations. What #ElSalvador has is far from being called peace. revista.drclas.harvard.edu/peace-in-el-...

I write these lines on my return from a community in the north of San Salvador, one of those out-of-the-way places that don't exist in Google Maps and where cellphones don't work.
