La COP del clima debe empoderar a la sociedad civil La COP ignora la realidad de América Latina y asume erróneamente que los gobiernos son los principales conductores de las políticas climáticas

Musk/DOGE cuts are (1) wildly unpopular, (2) plainly illegal, and (3) utterly incompetent, and yet the DC political establishment is unwilling or unable to stop it. They are bowing to a regime of government by billionaire fiat.

The US Has Deported Immigrants En Masse Before. Here’s What Happened. Donald Trump has promised to deport millions on “Day One.” He wouldn’t be the first president to round up undocumented immigrants en masse.

🧵 Here's what @stephrschwartz.bsky.social and I have been fretting about:

Crackdowns on immigrants, mass deportation, and internment camps (and the suffering they cause) are recurrent in US history. But this time, it's also one of the Trump admin's power grabs. 1/
