I’ll be real with you, I think this is one of the most hideous buildings man has ever created. It looks like one of those unstructured mud castles people make when they go to the beach.
We see the tower of Jesus Christ illuminated for the first time!
The light show, starting from the base up to the illumination of the cross, culminated with a composition of lights guided by drones that traced the figure of Gaudí and the phrase “first love, then technique”.
Congress is Congress’ing again and it’s NOT looking great for students and borrowers. Last week, House Appropriators proposed more cuts to @usedgov. That + OBBBA will make paying for college even more expensive and risky. New blog from @MarkHuelsman & @AissaRCanchola👇
Claudia Sheinbaum has approval ratings of between 70 and 80%, thanks to her progressive policies which have lifted over 8 million people out of poverty.

💢 BREAKING: Bolivia’s Chamber of Deputies voted to repeal Law 1341, dismantling key legal restrictions that limited the president’s ability to impose a “state of exception” and deploy the military during internal unrest.
The law, passed in 2020, capped emergency powers at 60 days, required justification for suspending civil rights, and restricted military force against demonstrations. The repeal comes after four weeks of nationwide protests and road blockades demanding the resignation of President Rodrigo Paz.
Supporters say the law prevented authorities from clearing disruptions that have blocked food, fuel, and medical supplies from reaching major cities like La Paz.
Human rights groups warn the repeal removes critical safeguards and gives the executive branch sweeping powers to order a military crackdown on protesters by decree.

(Spoiler: you’ll probably have to shell out more than you budgeted for your cookout.)
SCOTUS just opened the floodgates.
The Trump administration backed lawsuits that could unleash hundreds of claims against Cuba, while simultaneously cutting off its fuel supply and threatening military action.
This isn't justice. It's a coordinated squeeze on the Cuban people.
Breaking News: The Supreme Court ruled that a U.S.-owned port business could sue over assets Cuba seized in 1960, possibly opening the door to similar claims. https://t.co/ry3kLBYohL
