I see some news circulating here about Slim. (I think they are fake --I can't see any serious news sources in Mexico confirming the rumors.)

What's their secret? Well... destroying the civil service and the judiciary branch, as well as all independent institutions, including the electoral system, and all watchdogs. (How would you feel if the current US government were doing the same thing it is doing now, but using left-wing slogans?)

A new McCarthy era is upon us. Stupid, depressing, and dangerous as ever. I wonder whose name will carry the dunce cap in the history books. Too many are complicit. I’ll need to find upset and action, but for now I’m feeling grief at the dehumanization inherent to all this.

Luis Alberto Castillo Rivera, a Venezuelan asylum seeker, didn't commit any crimes. But the United States (that's all of us) shipped him to Guantánamo and he didn't even know where he was for 2 weeks. Read this. It's one of the testimones at www.courtlistener.com/docket/69633...

Did you know that the Gold Card for citizenship gets you in the Executive Plus lounge in your wait at the DMV (where you can wait crammed with the other goldens while you eat free processed cheese and crackers)?

Your regular reminder that the US air & water pollution laws passed in the 60s & 70s -- and the elaborate federal bureaucracy created to administer them -- constitute one of the most successful gov't interventions in history. WILDLY successful. The envy of the world.

Every time they say something stupid and I feel tempted to correct, I’m reminded that they know what they are doing: They want me to react, so that they can have a counter talking-point to politicize the issue, and pave the way for new abuse. (First time I saw this was before the second Gulf War)

I started working on the political theory of borders in the early 2000's. Back then, whenever you said "Borders" in the US, people thought "Immigration." In Mexico, the same word brought to mind drug trafficking and gang violence. I think things have changed-- people now see from both sides.

I wish reporters would stop saying “this sets a dangerous precedent.” No. This is it. This thing now is violent, rotten, and wrong.

Recuerdo la tristeza que me provocó el asesinato de Samir, a quien apenas una semana antes López Obrador le endilgó la etiqueta de "radical de izquierda" y "conservador". Un asesinato todavía sin resolverse ante el entramado de complicidades que articula a Morena con el crimen organizado en Morelos.

I had a great aunt whom I loved very much. In the 90’s I saw her once— truly worried—looking out of the window: the winter was about to start again and she couldn’t stop thinking about all the people stuck in Sarajevo. I laughed at her old-lady worrywarting back then, but today I’m wholly her.

I don’t know what is scarier: that they treat the government as a private corporation; or that they treat public corporations as governments.
