What does one do for the rest of the day after reading an article like this one? Very hard times to live. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The same president that dares to declare "the ocean has a fever. (...)This ‘fever’ is a red alert underscoring the urgent need to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, the main cause of global warming and the degradation of marine ecosystems." What a shame. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Appalled, and sad for a democracy that was once respected. www.nytimes.com/video/us/pol...

Excellent article, worth the read www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Been there, seen that. Brazilians know where this ends. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Academic dystopia.

The plan is clear: kill as many Palestinians as necessary, force the rest to 'relocate,' and occupy their land as if they were never there. The brilliant "Book of Disappearance" (Ibtisam Azem, 2019) has never felt more relevant. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

What kind of human being can possibly support that?

For Netanyahu, in the so-called "war of civilization against barbarism", civilization means the starvation of civilians. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/w...

Brave resistance from Israelis to the genocide of the Palestinian people. Highly recommended. open.spotify.com/episode/0x4c...

Bruce Springsteen opened his tour in England with a forceful denunciation of President Trump. “In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration.”

Shame on NYU. Lived to see the end of free speech in America. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“I said that Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza and paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the U.S.," www.nytimes.com/2025/05/15/u...

I wonder where the naked actors are. www.theguardian.com/fashion/2025...

“We’re facing the largest ethnic cleansing operation since the end of the second world war in order to create a splendid holiday destination once all the millions of tonnes of rubble have been cleared from Gaza and the Palestinians have died or gone away,” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Everyday a new way to undress to show female strength... www.theguardian.com/fashion/2025...

Putin, stoooooop!! Tweets the president of the United States.

This guy is a genius. You got to love Larry David. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/o...

This is a guy with no criminal charges against him. Very soon, this could be anyone in America. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/n...

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

There you have it. The reason Kilmar Garcia wont come back to the US is because Trump is paying the Salvadoran President to keep him there. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/u...

State of exception. Very familiar to a Latin American. Never thought I'd live to see happening in the US. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

No true advocate of freedom could ever support Bolsonaro or Kast—both admirers of brutal dictators. This time, The Economist has seriously missed the mark. economist.com/obituary/202...

78% of support to Trump among farmers hit by global warming and tariffs. Irrationality comes at a very high cost. You live, you learn... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

People need to listen carefully to this totalitarian maniac and join forces for academic freedom before it is too late. open.spotify.com/episode/5mnY...

"If Mahmoud can be targeted in this way, simply for speaking out for Palestinians and exercising his constitutionally protected right to free speech, this can happen to anyone over any issue the Trump administration dislikes."

Making China great again www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/b...

Brave and classy interview, worth listening to: open.spotify.com/episode/7JG5...

Fellow native English speakers, I'd appreciate your help translating this important message from former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro ;-)

#HANDSOFF #NYC

Happy to live in a country where I can watch "No Other Land".

The Manchurian candidate. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/b...

While protests and slogans justify the witch hunt in American universities, Bibi pushes forward the real "from the river to the sea"—in Gaza, in the West Bank, in plain sight of the world. edition.cnn.com/2025/04/02/m...

This is far worse than "being caught bt.the irreconcilable demands Hamas and the Israeli government, both showing a brutal indifference toward Palestinian civilians." It is being caught between the Israeli gvmt and the terrorists they funded for years. Devastating. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/o...

Ethnic cleansing is accelerating in the West Bank while the world focuses on Gaza. open.spotify.com/episode/6eU1...

Firing at ambulances. Savages. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Trump's aggressive America First trade and political policies could ultimately deal a major blow to the global Trumpist right—there are no alliances built on sticks alone, and no carrots in sight.

Bolsonaro stretches the notion that populism requires a charismatic leader.

As we watch in helpless horror the genocide of the Palestinian people at the hands of the Israeli government, I highly recommend The Book of Disappearance—a hauntingly beautiful and devastating read. It’s rare to hear this story told through Palestinian voices, making this a truly essential one.

"U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff could not even name the five provinces in Ukraine that Russia had seized." I wonder how far will the U.S. go embarrassing itself this way, and what will be left of its international stance four years from now. open.spotify.com/episode/7Iht...

Everyone involved in this atrocity down to the individual ICE agents is a criminal and must face justice.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Shocked to see U.S. government behaving like any shitty dictatorship. So far, with surprisingly little resistance. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Looking forward to hearing from political scientists in the US and elsewhere who guaranteed that Trump wouldn't be a threat to American democracy. Lots of recent work already dead.

Not to be missed—the beauty of academia lies in its ability to question even our very capacity to question. Mind boggling. open.spotify.com/episode/0Fec...
