Key stat: El Salvador had 106 murders per 100k people in 2015 — one of the highest ever recorded.

Today, it’s among the lowest in the region.

But thousands remain imprisoned without trial. The question remains, should governments prioritize order or freedom?

[The Cavalier @_TheCavalierr]

El Salvador cut its murder rate by 98% under Nayib Bukele, but at what cost?

Mass arrests. Military policing. Allegations of abuse inside mega-prisons. Is sacrificing civil liberties justified to achieve safety?

These requirements could disenfranchise millions of voters before the 2026 midterms, with the bill targeting a largely unproven issue while shifting focus away from more urgent economic and global challenges facing Americans.

Following a joint military operation between Israel and the United State against Iran on February 28th , Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed several high ranking Iranian leaders. His death has left a power vacuum left to be filled, along with an opportunity for change in Iran.

[The Cavalier @_TheCavalierr]

It is now up to the Iranian people to determine their future. Certain figureheads like Reza Pahlavi, have offered to take a position of leadership in these transitional times. What remains to be seen, however, is if Iran will repeat the mistakes of its past.

The LLA, a right-wing libertarian party founded by president Javier Milei, has seen rising popularity and continued success in the polls, but what does this mean for Argentina and its people?

[The Cavalier @_TheCavalierr]

In the years following the Pandemic, Argentina has experienced a major shift in its economic and social policy. Leaning ever-more to the right, the LLA, or Liberty Advances, captivated Argentines with its “drain-the-swamp” agenda on what feels like a perpetual financial crisis.

[El globalismo y el nacionalismo en conflicto] por @OfficialNanoP

En la 80ª Asamblea General de la ONU, el creciente nacionalismo de líderes como Trump en Estados Unidos, Nayib Bukele en El Salvador, Viktor Orbán en Hungría y el preocupante ascenso de la AfD en Alemania, representan un giro mundial hacia el nacionalismo conservador, que choca con los ideales de cooperación global, poniendo en riesgo la paz mundial y la estabilidad económica frente a conflictos y crisis migratorias.

Demilitarization & Security – Hamas barred from governance; Gaza fully de-militarized with international security forces ensuring peace and prosperity.

These are just some of the terms Palestine must agree to. Do you think they are fair?

[The Cavalier @_TheCavalierr]

Trump an Netanyahu met today at the White House to unveil their Gaza peace plan, here are their terms:

[El crecimiento del autoritarismo digital]

En un mundo donde gobiernos y empresas tecnológicas intensifican la vigilancia en internet, desde la verificación de edad en el Reino Unido hasta bases de datos biométricas en EE.UU., la libertad de expresión y el anonimato en línea enfrentan amenazas crecientes.

¿Estamos ante el auge de un autoritarismo digital disfrazado de seguridad?

With public trust in the UN at record lows (just 32% of Americans approve in 2025, down from 52% in 2002), the question is clear:

Can the UN survive in a world where nationalism rises faster than global cooperation?

Globalism vs. Nationalism is shaping today’s world order.

At the UN General Assembly this week, speeches revealed just how divided nations are between protecting global cooperation or doubling down on national pride.

[The Cavalier @_TheCavalierr]

This surge in nationalism is paralyzing diplomacy:

- Peace talks stall in Palestine & Ukraine
- Trade disputes grow under tariffs
- Right-wing movements now hold up to 60% of seats in European parliaments

The UN’s mission to safeguard peace & human rights is in jeopardy.
