New Argentine president Javier Milei’s rhetoric may be distinct, but his economic dogma, originally conceived in and spread by the U.S., has a long history of diverting resources from the many to the few. Final chapter of Dark Legacy: https://t.co/ztrTMcme3f

Before I leave 2023 behind, let me remember…

[Amelia Rayno @AmeliaRayno]

The Argentine puna, home to many indigenous villages and towns who have long lived in harmony with nature.

Now, the region’s fragile ecosystem — and those who rely on it — are being upended by the influx of lithium production.

My story for @theprogressive coming soon.

How did the U.S. dollar 💵 take control in Argentina, directing its current economic crisis and inspiring this month’s election of new president Javier Milei?

This is Chapter 5 of Dark Legacy.

@LaInca_ Estoy de acuerdo. Soy estadounidense y trabajo en un proyecto documental sobre cómo 7 décadas de interferencia de EEUU contribuyeron a la crisis actual. Si querés verlo, este es el capítulo 1 (ya hay 4/6 publicados, pronto estará traducido el 4 también) https://t.co/esIs3mdDsl

Why does the U.S. care so much about Argentina? I’ll tell ya over banana crepes.

Protest is engrained in Argentine culture, winning many workers’ rights over the yrs. Historically, the only mode for halting it has been terror — a strategy once encouraged by the US as it sought partners for its economic goals.

@CommonSenseSam @PopBase Looks very similar to the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot

At the center of Javier Milei’s campaign is an austerity-heavy economic platform he has dubbed the “chainsaw” plan. @AmeliaRayno

After Iris Avellaneda was kidnapped, her 15-yr old son killed by Argentina’s last dictatorship, she spent the rest of her life with 1 goal: send the guilty to prison & keep them there. Her fight has lasted 45 years & counting. My story for @theprogressive https://t.co/pX8ikoEIxo

@BigHiggaHigga Thanks again friend!!

[Amelia Rayno @AmeliaRayno]

As Argentina’s current economic crisis deepens, many are feeling the pain in fundamental ways. How did one of the world's richest nation get here? We begin Chapter 2 with Argentina's golden era and the start of U.S. meddling. https://t.co/slj3x5kB8o)
