Despite his mild-mannered civility, Bhattacharya is a self-interested extremist who gives cover to anti-vaxxers & promotes policies that will kill people. He will set American health, innovation, & science back for a generation.
He’s not here to reform NIH. He’s here to destroy it.

En situaciones como esta ¿cómo aplica el “humanismo mexicano”?

La mayoría de delitos incluidos en el art 19-que obligan a los jueces a decretar la prisión preventiva (prisión mientras dura el juicio)-ahora podrán ser juzgados (desde la vinculación) por jueces sin rostro o anónimos. Y la lista de delitos crece y crece.

Ando trabajando sobre las impresiones de Chimalpahin sobre embajada japonesa que pasó por la Ciudad de México en 1613-1614 rumbo a Madrid y Roma. Acá el retrato del diplomático y recién bautizado Felipe Francisco Faxecura (Hasekura Tsunenaga).
Les rolo el textito cuando esté listo.
I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.
I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/

La retórica del fascismo al servicio de la imposición autoritaria

either people specify what they mean when they say “elite” or the term is just meaningless pejorative. both parties are dominated by elites in any conventional sense of what that means! the question is: why are right-wing elites more palatable to voters than liberal ones?

Jia Tolentino: "The difference—and this is always the difference—is about volition. Men who voted for Trump fear what women might actually want; women who voted for Harris fear what will be done to them against their will."

Reminder to folks who live in the Pacific time zone: You have less than an hour to vote.
This election is critical. Every vote matters.
You can still head to a polling site & get on line to vote. If you're in line when the polls close, you still have the right to #vote.
My grandmother voting for Kamala Harris.
Born 1918.
2 years old when the 19th Amendment was ratified.
47 when the Voting Rights Act secured her vote.
Will turn 107 on inauguration day.
She’s lived through it all, and she’s damn sure not going back.
This weekend dozens of volunteers got on a bus and traveled from Los Angeles to Arizona to get out the #VOTE in this critical battleground state. Here's why.

We want to wish all our friends who celebrate, a happy #DiwaliCelebration. Marigolds which many use in garlands & decorations are harvested by farm workers like Ignacio. Marigolds are said to bring good luck and fortune, and symbolize the beauty and fragility of life.
