Thanks, @amandataub, for showing the world what is happening in Colombia right now. Happy to see our interview on the legacies of long-lasting violence in Colombia shed light on what's happening on the ground. I am honored to be part of this piece.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Around the world, the police have cracked down violently on protests — only to discover that their attacks, captured on camera and shared across social and conventional media, have helped turn issue-based campaigns into mass movements, @amandataub writes.

Colombia's diaspora broke ~65–35 for de la Espriella Sunday. You can't detach how they vote from why they left: flee leftist guerrillas → right (US ~80%); flee paramilitaries → left (Spain→Cepeda). @umichDemocracy

[Leydy Diossa-Jimenez @leydydiossa]

Quoted in @TheEconomist on Colombia's diaspora vote. My core point: you can't detach how Colombians abroad vote from the historical causes of their exit. Flee left-wing guerrillas, lean right. Flee right-wing paramilitaries, lean left (Spain went Cepeda). https://t.co/7HoVHEpItf

Honored to contribute to this timely issue on immigration and authoritarianism. Many thanks to Dan @SlaterPolitics and the Center @umichDemocracy for fostering critical dialogue on how migration shapes democratic resilience and resistance to autocracy.

[Dan Slater @SlaterPolitics]

The connections between IMMIGRATION and AUTHORITARIANISM are becoming more obvious and tragic by the day. Our latest issue of Democracy & Autocracy @umichDemocracy tackles these connections head-on, from multiple comparative angles: 1/6

@castilloangela_ @MaFePerdomoA No nos conocemos pero veo que tenemos esta gran preocupación en común. Yo llevo 1 año documentando esta crisis (desde el paro). Envie un OpEd a varios outlets pero lo rechazaron porque creyeron que estaba exagerando. Hoy mi mayor temor se hizo realidad. 😢

[Secretary Antony Blinken @SecBlinken]

Congratulations to the Colombian people for exercising their right to vote and reaffirming the strength of their democracy. We look forward to continuing our strong partnership with President-Elect @petrogustavo and building a more democratic and equitable hemisphere.

@pardoguerra @smgaddis No counter-evidence but rather a confirmation bias. Did you see the Colombian elections on Sunday? I also feel in hell!

@AlejandroLanz11 Esto es lo que en mi profesión se llama: "el sin alivio de la sociología". Sabemos que van hacia un abismo, podemos explicar las causas y consecuencias de sus acciones, y sin embargo, no podemos hacer nada, solo verlos caer. 😢

La ley del aborto se aplica con fuerza a las mujeres jóvenes, pobres y solteras que han carecido de acceso a servicios médicos, educación y recursos para su defensa, incapaces de afrontar el sistema de justicia @menjivar_ceci #ManuelaJusticiayEsperanza @CorteIDH @EJDH_Honduras

[Cecilia Menjivar @cecimenjivar.bsky.social @menjivar_ceci]

Sharing new pub w @leydydiossa: El Salvador's abortion & violence against women laws prioritize family at the expense of women’s rights & lives, especially poor and disadvantaged women. Deep gender inequalities r embedded in laws when these are written.

Abortion law is forcefully applied to young, poor, single women who have lacked access to medical services, education, and resources for their defense and are in an unfavorable position to confront the justice system @menjivar_ceci @AbortoPORlaVIDA @ReproRightsLAC #AbortionRights
