@laprensa on @elnuevodiario 's closure: https://t.co/tYpJLm6hgu

[Z. M. Wilmot @ZMWilmot]

And so ends @ElNuevoDiario: founded in revolution, ending in repression. What does this mean going forward? https://t.co/W76vF5O4yF

Wow, reviewers can be jerks. O_o

#SpiritIsland has surpassed #CthulhuWars on this day to become my favorite boardgame.

Oil, Venezuela, and #Nicaragua: https://t.co/CvsuiP6s4i

Why does most news coverage of #Nicaragua here in the US seem to portray Ortega as having been in power uninterrupted since 1979? That is a gross misrepresentation (and just false) of history...

[Z. M. Wilmot @ZMWilmot]

Interesting reflections on Ortega and Nicaragua today. What struck me was the use of the term "wall of solidarity". https://t.co/nJ9VgR14hq #SOSNicaragua

The legacy of Sandinismo remains a powerful focus of discourse and key to polarization internally and internationally... #SOSNicaragua

[Z. M. Wilmot @ZMWilmot]

This interview on @democracynow really illustrates Nicaragua's polarizing effects: https://t.co/EGRA1vMPQk

[Z. M. Wilmot @ZMWilmot]

Trying to invoke the 1979 Revolution to defend Ortega? He and the revolution parted ways sometime in the mid-90s... #Nicaragua

Interesting also that the death of a journalist inflamed Nicaraguan protests... much like 1978... #Nicaragua

[Z. M. Wilmot @ZMWilmot]

Those trees of life Rosario Murillo put up are sure turning into great symbols for protest... #Nicaragua

[Z. M. Wilmot @ZMWilmot]

Nicaragua and Iran are cases for my research because their revolutions unfolded similarly - 1979 revolutions, 1989/1990 massive reforms and/or reversals, 2005/2007 revival of revolutionary rhetoric... and now, in 2017/2018, both saw massive protests; coincidence? I think not!

Late to the party and just saw Force Awakens... but oh my goodness did I want to punch Poe in the face the whole time...

[Z. M. Wilmot @ZMWilmot]

Interesting that #Nicaragua's La Prensa is invoking Tomas Borge re: recent ideas for national dialogue from Ortega...

[Z. M. Wilmot @ZMWilmot]

I think the most used words in Nicaraguan politics, in the 1980s, 1990s, and now again with the recent protests, is "national dialogue." And I'm still not sure what that means...

Really good old #Asimov short story I ran across... https://t.co/HIjccsdPe6 #amreading
